Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110143291FLUE GAS RECIRCULATION METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR COMBUSTION SYSTEMS - A method and system for improving high excess air combustion system efficiency, including induration furnaces, using a re-routing of flue gas within the system by gas recirculation. Flue gas is drawn from hot system zones including zones near the stack, for re-introduction into the process whereby the heat recovery partially replaces fuel input. At least one pre-combustion drying zone, at least one combustion zone, and at least a first cooling zone exist in these furnaces. At least one exhaust gas outlet is provided to each pre-combustion drying and combustion zone. At least part of the gaseous flow from each system zone exhaust outlet is selectively delivered to an overall system exhaust, the remaining flow being selectively delivered via recirculation to cooling zones. Recirculation flow is adjusted to meet required system temperatures and pressures. The method and system provide efficiency improvements, reducing fuel requirements and greenhouse gas emissions.06-16-2011

20120008461METHOD FOR ACCENTUATING SPECULAR AND NON-SPECULAR SEISMIC EVENTS FROM WITHIN SHALLOW SUBSURFACE ROCK FORMATIONS - A method for evaluating subsurface formations includes deploying at least two intersecting seismic transducer lines above an area of the subsurface to be surveyed. Each line includes spaced apart seismic transmitters on one side of the intersection and spaced apart seismic receivers on the other side. On each line, one of the transmitters is actuated and signals are detected at one of the receivers. The foregoing is repeated for each of the remaining receivers. The foregoing is then repeated for each of the remaining transmitters on each line. The detected signals are processed to enhance both specular and non-specular seismic events in the subsurface. The enhanced events may be stored and/or displayed.01-12-2012

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100156711TRAVEL TRACKING APPARATUS - A business travel tracking apparatus which includes a processor having a processor memory and a global positioning system sensor for determining vehicle position. An input device is provided which is in communication with the processor for designating each trip as either a business trip or a personal trip. A sensor is in communication with the processor for determining a commencement of the trip. An alarm is in communication with the processor. The processor activates the alarm when the trip sensor senses the commencement of a trip and deactivates the alarm when the input device indicates that a selection has been made.06-24-2010

20110005839Retention Means for a Seal Boot Used in a Universal Joint in a Downhole Motor Driveshaft Assembly - A driveshaft assembly for a downhole motor comprises a housing and a driveshaft rotatably disposed within the housing. The driveshaft has a central axis and a first end. Further, the driveshaft assembly comprises a driveshaft adapter having a first end coupled to the first end of the driveshaft with a universal joint. The first end of the driveshaft adapter includes a counterbore. The first end of the driveshaft and the universal joint are disposed in the counterbore. Still further, the driveshaft assembly comprises an end cap disposed about the driveshaft and coaxially coupled to the adapter. Moreover, the driveshaft assembly comprises a seal boot disposed about the driveshaft and adapted to restrict fluid flow through a annular gap positioned between the driveshaft and the end cap. The driveshaft assembly also comprises a locking assembly adapted to restrict the end cap from moving axially relative to the adapter.01-13-2011
