20080247796 | SDM AUTOMATIC CONTROL ALGORITHM - A device, method and program for automatically adjusting a paper curl of media in an imaging device are provided. The imaging device includes a decurler having two rollers defining a nip. A first roller has a substantially uncompressible surface, and a second roller has a substantially compressible surface. The first roller penetrates the second roller at the nip. The amount of curl of the media is adjusted at the nip by automatically adjusting the penetration of the second roller into the first roller. The amount of penetration of the second roller into the first roller is based on a set of factors and conditions. A penetration value based on the factors and conditions is used to adjust the position of the first roller and the second roller respective to each other, which in turn, will alter or reduce the media curl to a target curl. | 10-09-2008 |

20100096021 | Method for Providing Leak Detection in Pre-Insulated Piping - A method is shown for providing status detection, in particular leak detection, in a pre-insulated pipeline for the transportation of media, in particular, steam or hot water. The pipeline has an inner medium-carrying pipe, a surrounding heat-insulating layer of bonded foam, and an outer protective polyolefin jacket. A special length of polymer coated wire is included as a part of the normal bare conductor wire which is used as a part of the electrical sensing system of the pipeline and is used to by-pass various obstructions in the foamed insulation of the pipeline. The insulated length of the coated wire is heat fused at points of egress and ingress through the outer polymeric jacket with the compatible materials of the coated wire and jacket forming a water tight seal. | 04-22-2010 |
20100320749 | Anchor system for pre-insulated piping - An anchor system is shown for use with a pre-insulated piping system having an inner steel carrier pipe surrounded by a layer of foam insulation and then by an outer protective jacket. The anchor system includes an inner carrier pipe for insertion within the length of the piping system at a selected point. A steel anchor sleeve surrounds a portion of the length of carrier pipe and foamed insulation. It terminates at one end at an outwardly flaring anchor plate which is subsequently embedded within a concrete anchor block. A steel end cap is welded to a second, opposite end of the sleeve and to the inner carrier pipe at a point along the length of piping which is outside the concrete anchor block and which is spaced apart from the location of the anchor plate, whereby heat from the high temperature fluids in the piping is transferred to the end cap at a location along the length of piping which is distant from the location of the anchor plate. | 12-23-2010 |
20100320750 | Anchor System for Pre-Insulated Piping - An anchor system is shown for use with a pre-insulated piping system having an inner steel carrier pipe surrounded by a layer of insulation and then by an outer protective jacket. The anchor system includes an inner carrier pipe for insertion within the length of the piping system at a selected point. A steel anchor sleeve surrounds a portion of the length of carrier pipe and insulation. It terminates at one end at an outwardly flaring anchor plate which is subsequently embedded within a concrete anchor block. A steel end cap is welded to a second, opposite end of the sleeve and to the inner carrier pipe at a point along the length of piping which is outside the concrete anchor block and which is spaced apart from the location of the anchor plate, whereby heat from the high temperature fluids in the piping is transferred to the end cap at a location along the length of piping which is distant from the location of the anchor plate. | 12-23-2010 |
20110041925 | Method of Installing Pre-Insulated Piping - An installation technique is shown for use with a pre-insulated steam piping system having an inner steel carrier pipe surrounded by a layer of foam insulation and then by an outer protective jacket. An expansion loop is used to create an artificial low point in the overall pipeline which allows the pipeline to avoid a buried obstruction without the necessity of increasing the depth of the remaining portion of the pipeline on either side of the loop. The expansion loop has a pair of oppositely arranged side legs which are joined by a cross-leg portion of the loop, the cross-leg portion of the loop being angled downwardly at a predetermined angle, to thereby provide a change in elevation which avoids the buried obstruction in the pathway of the pipeline. | 02-24-2011 |
20110192486 | Water Spread Limiting System for Pre-Insulated Piping - A section of pipe is used in a pre-insulated piping system where the system is made up of lengths of insulated and jacketed pre-insulated piping. Each length of piping is made up of an inner carrier pipe having an interior surface and an exterior surface. An envelope of foamed insulation surrounds the inner pipe exterior surface and an outer protective jacket surrounds the envelope of foamed insulation. The length of piping has a joining end for joining to an adjacent length of piping, whereby the adjacent lengths of piping provide a continuous length of fluid conduit for conveying high temperature fluids. A water containment element is located on the exterior of the inner carrier pipe at a location near the pipe joining end. The containment element serves to stop the flow of any intruding water or steam along the length of the inner carrier pipe. The containment element may also include a heat dissipating element which surrounds the inner carrier pipe for at least a portion of the length thereof. Any water which penetrates the outer protective jacket contacts the heat dissipating element and is cooled below boiling before traveling any significant distance along the length of the section of piping. | 08-11-2011 |
20120118388 | System for Eliminating the Need for Watertight Manholes in Insulated Piping Installations - A system is shown which can replace the need for a traditional watertight manhole servicing a pre-insulated pipeline. The piping in the system is pre-insulated, as with a bonded foam insulation. The valves and fittings in the piping system are brought to a convenient height above the watertable in an excavated area in the surrounding earthen formation and are also pre-insulated. The pre-insulated valves and fittings are partially enclosed by a containment structure which keeps the surrounding earthen formation in place. Because the valves, fittings and piping are pre-insulated, it is not necessary to maintain the surrounding enclosure in a watertight condition as was the case with a traditional manhole. | 05-17-2012 |
20120146324 | Watertight, Expandible and Contractible Pipe Joint for High Temperature Insulated Piping - An expansion joint is shown for an insulated pipeline used to convey high temperature fluids such as steam. The expansion joint uses a flexible bellows and additional insulating and joining components to provide a watertight encasement for a traditional metal expansion joint. The bellows arrangement compensates for any relative movement of the inner fluid conveying pipes with respect to the outer layers of insulating material and outer jacket in order to protect the integrity of the assembly and prevent the intrusion of water or other contaminants which could lead to corrosion or early failure of the piping system. | 06-14-2012 |

20150233518 | Method and Apparatus for Preserving the Long Term Structural Integrity of Bonded Foam Pre-Insulated Piping Systems - A section of pipe is used in a pre-insulated piping system where the system is made up of lengths of insulated and jacketed pre-insulated piping. Each length of piping is made up of an inner carrier pipe having an interior surface and an exterior surface. An envelope of bonded foam insulation surrounds the inner pipe exterior surface and an outer protective jacket surrounds the envelope of foamed insulation. The length of piping has a joining end for joining to an adjacent length of piping, whereby the adjacent lengths of piping provide a continuous length of fluid conduit for conveying high temperature fluids. A series of metal thrust collars are located at spaced intervals along the length of the inner carrier pipe are enveloped within the layer of foamed insulation. The presence of the metal thrust collars along the length of the inner metal carrier pipe increases the surface area contact of the insulation and metal components of the system and serves to prevent disbondment of the foam insulation from the inner metal carrier pipe over time. | 08-20-2015 |
