20080271281Loose Material Collecting Device and Method - The present disclosure relates generally to a device for collecting and transporting loose material, and in particular, to a device pulled by a vehicle equipped with a turbine, a conduit, an enclosure, and a foldable accordion-type top. This device is equipped with a top made of a plurality of foldable rectangular ribs over which a flexible sheet and air opaque or mesh-line panels are used to regulate the flow of air through the enclosure. At one end the sheet is secured to the loose material conduit where loose material enters the enclosure and at an opposite end the sheet is secured to the tailgate or to the back section of the enclosure. To open the enclosure with a tailgate equipped with this disclosure, a user unlocks the tailgate of the enclosure, flips the back section of the accordion-type roof up toward the front section, and secures the tailgate to the folded accordion-type roof. To open the enclosure without a tailgate equipped with this disclosure, a user unlocks the back section of the accordion-type roof from the back of the enclosure and flips the back section of the accordion-type roof up toward the front section, and secures the locking mechanism to the roof.11-06-2008
20100230507Lawn Spreader Hopper Flow Control Apparatus - A control mechanism for a lawn spreader controls output flow of granular material out of the spreader hopper by adjusting the position of a control cable anchor point. The control mechanism includes a clamping portion for clamping to a tubular handle of the spreader. A top surface of the clamp portion, adjacent to the handle, provides a slide for a slideable cable anchor shuttle, which internally provides the anchor point for a control cable. The shuttle may be made from a plastic material. A dial housed within a dial housing, adjacent to the slide portion of the clamp, may be rotated to various indicated positions which in turn controls the position of the shuttle on the metal slide portion of the clamp, thereby adjusting the position of the control cable anchor point. The control cable extends from the end of the shuttle anchor mechanism to a hopper spring-loaded aperture cover.09-16-2010

20090146745NOISE REDUCING DIELECTRIC RESONATOR OSCILLATOR - Systems, devices, and methods are provided for reducing noise in communication systems. An example resonator system comprises: a housing comprising a top portion and a floor portion, a dielectric resonator positioned with the housing, a substrate, and a stripline transmission line adjacent the substrate. In this exemplary embodiment, the stripline transmission line within the housing is electromagnetically coupled to the dielectric resonator, the substrate is positioned away from the floor portion and top portion of the housing, and the dielectric resonator coupled with the suspended stripline transmission line is connected to an active device to form an oscillator. The positioning of the substrate relative to the housing may reduce the amount of the electromagnetic field from the stripline transmission line that is absorbed into the housing. In a further embodiment, the board has no metallic backing on at least a portion of the back of the board.06-11-2009

20090064688CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VAPORIZER WITH HEATING TOWER - A method of vaporizing liquefied natural gas includes passing liquefied natural gas through a submerged combustion vaporizer having a water bath at a bath temperature and a burner to provide a vaporized gas output at a send-out temperature, drawing water from the bath of the submerged combustion vaporizer and supplying it to an atmospheric heating tower having an ambient air temperature, returning water from the atmospheric heating tower to the bath of the submerged combustion vaporizer, modulating the operating rate of the burner of the submerged combustion vaporizer, and modulating the operating rate of the atmospheric heating tower.03-12-2009
20090065181SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR HEAT EXCHANGER FLUID HANDLING WITH ATMOSPHERIC TOWER - A system connects fluid heat exchange devices such as a submerged combustion LNG vaporizer and a heating tower. The fluid handling system has a first heat exchange device having a first fluid inlet and a first fluid outlet, and a second heat exchange device having a second fluid inlet and a second fluid outlet. A first conduit connects the first fluid outlet to the second fluid inlet, a first reservoir receives fluid from the first fluid outlet, a second reservoir receives fluid from the second fluid outlet, a second conduit connects the second reservoir to the first fluid inlet; and a third, fluid equalization, conduit connected to the first reservoir and the second reservoir equalizes the fluid levels in the first and second reservoirs with each other.03-12-2009
