Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090267010Vehicle Mountable Arm for Valve Operating Machine - A valve operating device includes a mounting for attachment to a vehicle and an elongate arm, the free end of which is only moveable in a plane parallel to the ground. The joints of the arm pivot around vertical axes and the arm is locked into a desired orientation by a brake at each joint. A valve turning machine is at the free end of the arm. The brakes are engaged and released by a control on the valve turning machine.10-29-2009

20110012752Wireless control for valve operating machine - A controller for a valve turning machine includes a handheld unit having a keypad and a first transmitter for transmitting instructions to the machine. The machine itself has a receiver for receiving instructions, and one or more detectors for detecting the status of functions of the machine. A second transmitter on the machine transmits information from the detectors as feedback to the handheld unit.01-20-2011

20080271449TURBOCHARGER WITH SLIDING PISTON, HAVING OVERLAPPING FIXED AND MOVING VANES - A turbocharger having a sliding piston for regulating exhaust gas flow into the turbine wheel includes a set of fixed vanes mounted on a fixed first wall of the turbine nozzle and projecting axially toward an opposite second wall of the nozzle, and a set of moving vanes mounted on the end of the piston and projecting in an opposite axial direction toward the first wall of the nozzle. The two sets of vanes are circumferentially staggered relative to each other and overlap each other, the degree of overlap depending on the piston's axial position. The turbine wheel can be a splittered turbine wheel having long blades alternating with shorter blades.11-06-2008

20090035677CONDENSATION POLYMER PHOTOCONDUCTIVE ELEMENTS - The present invention relates to photoconductive elements having an electrically conductive support, an electrical barrier layer and, disposed over the conductive layer, a charge generation layer capable of generating positive charge carriers when exposed to actinic radiation. The electrical barrier layer, which restrains injection of positive charge carriers from the conductive support, comprises a crosslinkable condensation polymer having as a repeating unit a planar, electron-deficient, tetracarbonylbisimide group and optionally a crosslinker,02-05-2009
20090052964ELECTROSTATOGRAPHIC APPARATUS HAVING IMPROVED TRANSPORT MEMBER - The present invention is an electrostatographic reproduction apparatus which includes a primary imaging member for producing an electrostatic latent image on a receiver, a development station for applying toner particles to said latent image which forms a developed toner image on the receiver. A fuser assembly is included for fixing the developed toner image, to form a fused toner image on the receiver. A transport member is provided for transporting the receiver to or from the fuser assembly, the transport member having a substrate bearing an oil-absorbing layer that includes transparent alumina inorganic particles of siloxane coated gamma-alumina, dispersed in an organic binder, and a fluorosurfactant.02-26-2009
20090105100FUSER FLUID - The present invention is a release oil of the general formulae:04-23-2009
20090136859SOL GEL OVERCOATS INCORPORATING ZINC ANTIMONATE NANOPARTICLES - The present invention is directed to an electrophotographic element that comprises: an electrically conducting layer, a charge generating layer overlying the electrically conducting layer, and a charge transport layer overlying the electrically conducting layer. The charge transport layer, which can be an overcoat overlying the charge generating layer, includes the reaction product in an aqueous medium of a mixture comprising a silsesquioxane polymer and a amine-free surface treated zinc antimonate and an acid scavenger.05-28-2009
20110103860ELECTROSTATOGRAPHIC APPARATUS HAVING IMPROVED TRANSPORT MEMBER - The present invention is an electrostatographic reproduction apparatus which includes a primary imaging member for producing an electrostatic latent image, a development station for applying toner particles to said latent image which forms a developed toner image, and a transfer station for transferring said developed toner image from the primary imaging member to a receiver. A fuser assembly is included for fixing the developed toner image to the receiver, to form a fused toner image on the receiver. An endless transport member is provided for transporting the receiver to or from the fuser assembly, the transport member having a substrate bearing an oil-absorbing porous layer that would tribocharge positively upon contact with negatively charged toner particles, and a porous overcoat outermost layer that does not tribocharge positively upon contact with negatively charged toner particles.05-05-2011
