| 20090072061 | CONTINUOUS VIBRATORY MILLING MACHINE - A vibratory milling machine has a vibratory housing confined to substantially linear reciprocating motion relative to a base, causing a tool carried by the housing to impact a mineral formation or other work piece substantially in a primary milling direction. The vibratory motion may be generated by two or more eccentrically-weighted rotors rotated by a common drive mechanism. The rotors may be arranged in pairs with the rotors of each pair rotating in opposite directions about parallel axes so that lateral oscillations cancel and longitudinal vibrations in the milling direction reinforce one another. In one embodiment, a hydrostatic fluid bearing is provided between the outer surface of each rotor and the housing. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20090127918 | VIBRATORY MILLING MACHINE HAVING LINEAR RECIPROCATING MOTION - A continuous mining method includes operating a vibratory milling machine having a milling head, a base, and a milling tool to oscillate the milling head in a substantially linear reciprocating fashion relative to the base to move the milling tool along a milling axis; and advancing the vibratory milling machine in a work piece in a cutting direction and wherein milling axis is oriented at an attack angle relative to the cutting direction, the attack angle being between about 0 and about 40 degrees. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20100089646 | SONIC DRILL HEAD - A drill head assembly includes a shaft having a shaft axis, an oscillator assembly operatively associated with the shaft, the oscillator assembly having at least one eccentrically weighted rotor configured to rotate about a pivot point to generate an oscillating vibratory force, wherein an oscillation centerline is defined transverse to the shaft axis and including the pivot point. The drill head assembly also includes a lower bearing coupled to the shaft on a first side of the oscillation centerline and an upper bearing coupled to the shaft on a second side of the oscillation centerline, the second side being opposite the first side. | 04-15-2010 |
| 20100089653 | ISOLATION SYSTEM FOR DRILLING SYSTEMS - In at least one example, an isolation system includes at least one air bladder assembly including at least one air bladder and at least one coupling member coupling the air bladder to a drill head, wherein the air bladder is configured to compress and expand to counter oscillating forces generated by the drill head. | 04-15-2010 |
| 20110036630 | VIBRATORY DRILLING MACHINE - A vibratory milling machine has a vibratory housing confined to substantially linear reciprocating motion relative to a base, causing a tool carried by the housing to impact a mineral formation or other work piece substantially in a primary milling direction.

The rotors may be arranged in pairs with the rotors of each pair rotating in opposite directions about parallel axes so that lateral oscillations cancel and longitudinal vibrations in the milling direction reinforce one another.

| 20080209392 | Systems and Methods for Definition and Execution of Batch Processing Services - A modeler allows definition of batch services that may include applications/services executing externally from the batch processing environment. The modeler may provide access to applications/services hosted on other platforms either in SOA or native API processing using TCPIP or other connection methods. The modeling or flow processing interface may provide the ability to create composite applications than can be changed and modified in real-time. The user defines the batch service using an interface provided via a graphical display. A system processor receives information from user input and updates the provided interface accordingly. The graphical definition of the batch service is stored at least ephemerally in a system data store. Once defined, the graphical definition is converted into a programmatic implementation executable by an appropriate server. This programmatic implementation can then be transmitted to a server accessible by an intended user community. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20100146396 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR WEB SERVICE FUNCTION, DEFINITION, IMPLEMENTATION, AND/OR EXECUTION - Systems and methods for defining, implementing, deploying and/or executing Web services. A Web service is defined using a graphical interface that allows the application developer to specify the operation of the Web service through inclusion and configuration of graphical nodes representing particular operations and/or functions. The Web service definition can, in some instances, include standard functions and/or previously defined Web services. The environment for definition typically includes a user input device, a graphical display device, a system data store and a system processor. The system processor is in communication with the other elements. The user defines the Web service using an interface provided via the graphical display device. The user interacts with the interface using the user input device. The system processor receives the information from the user input device and updates the provided interface on the graphical display device accordingly. The graphical definition of the Web services is stored at least ephemerally in the system data store, but may, in some instances, be saved to the system data store. Once defined, the graphical definition is converted into a programmatic implementation executable by a Web services server. This programmatic implementation can then be transmitted to an appropriate Web services server accessible by an intended user community. | 06-10-2010 |
