Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110209358OPEN BOTTOM STRETCHABLE SHOE COVER - Disclosed herein is a shoe cover which has an open ended bottom. When the shoe cover made from stretchable fabric is placed over a shoe, the top portion of the shoe is covered while the sole of the shoe is exposed. An opening at the top allows for the foot to have access to the shoe and at the bottom so the sole will have traction. A band of stretch material secures the cover across the instep and around the bottom edge of the shoe with no slip strips.09-01-2011

20100108145TRANSPORTING AND TRANSFERRING FLUID - A method and system for transporting fluid is described. The method includes coupling a transit vessel to a terminal vessel associated with at least one terminal. The transit vessel and the terminal vessel are coupled at an open sea or lightering location, which may be selected based upon operational conditions. Then, cryogenic fluid is transferred between the transit vessel and the terminal vessel, while the transit vessel and terminal vessel are moving in substantially the same direction. Once the transfer is complete, the terminal vessel decouples from the transit vessel and moves a terminal to provide the cryogenic fluid to the terminal. The cryogenic fluid may include liquefied natural gas (LNG) and/or liquefied carbon dioxide (CO05-06-2010
20100205979Integrated LNG Re-Gasification Apparatus - The described invention relates to an integrated LNG re-gasification apparatus suitable for broad use and effective utilization of LNG containers comprising: a) modular storage tank holding structures adapted for storing and accessing LNG containerized in one or more storage tanks; b) a heat exchange re-gasification chamber adapted for converting said LNG to natural gas using a working fluid of higher temperature than the LNG; c) fluid transfer means for transporting the LNG from said storage tanks to the at least one heat exchange re-gasification chamber; d) at least one working fluid holding tank; e) fluid transfer means for transporting the working fluid from said holding tank to the at least one heat exchange re-gasification chamber; f) fluid transfer means for transporting a cooled working fluid, to one or more ancillary refrigeration or air conditioning units.08-19-2010
