20100038318ENHANCED SOLIDS CONTROL - A method of cleaning drilling fluid including providing a flow of drilling fluid to a treatment loop, determining a flow rate of the drilling fluid, and injecting a polymer into the drilling fluid based on the determined flow rate of the drilling fluid. Additionally, the method includes injecting a coagulant into the drilling fluid based on the determined flow rate of the drilling fluid and adjusting the rate of polymer and coagulant injection based on a change in the flow rate of the drilling fluid. Also, a method of controlling a drilling fluid cleaning system, the method including inputting a polymer dosage rate and a coagulant dosage rate into a system controller and providing instructions to the system controller. The instructions include determining an instantaneous flow rate of a drilling fluid in the system, calculating a polymer injection rate to produce the inputted polymer dosage rate based on the instantaneous flow rate of the drilling fluid, calculating a coagulant injection rate to produce the inputted coagulant dosage rate based on the instantaneous flow rate of the drilling fluid, and adjusting the polymer injection rate and the coagulant injection rate based on the instantaneous flow rate.02-18-2010

20080210918MODULAR PERIMETER ELECTRONIC SECURITY SYSTEM - A modular array for a security fence system includes a tension module with a plurality of tension devices, a tensioning compensation module with a plurality of tensioning compensation devices, and a plurality of conductors each extending between a tension device and a tensioning compensation device. The modular arrays may be stacked for increased fence height. A conductor support module individually supports each conductor. An angular deviation module accommodates right, obtuse or acute angles. The tension devices automatically set the tension in the conductors to a predetermined tension. The tensioning compensation devices automatically accommodate expansion or contraction of the conductors due to temperature changes. All of the components of the modular array may be shipped in a standard pallet.09-04-2008

20090008343WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM - A water filtration system (01-08-2009
20100252501QUICK CONNECT MODULAR WATER PURIFICATION SYSTEM - Multiple water purifier modules are stacked in a rack having manifolds for each of the various water filtration functions: feed, concentrate, and filtrate. Each module connects to the rack by a quick connect for each of the filtration tubes. The quick connects are of the self-sealing type. A handle on the end of the module away from the rack has a lever for causing the quick connects to release the module from the rack while the system remains in operation. The, module can then be totally removed from the rack for testing, service, or replacement while the overall system remains in operation. Each module contains complete filtration media. The water is passed into the feed tubes under pressure where it passes into an elongated cavity filled with elongated hollow fibers. Filtrate, such as purer water, passes through the walls of the hollow fibers to an outlet, while concentrate, which is fluid with a high percent of impurities, flows from the cavity into concentrate tubes to another outlet for disposal. The tubes and concentrate tubes are small diameter tubes with small holes spaced along their lengths. The tubes lie at opposite sides of the cavity, rather than at opposite ends, and the tubes are surrounded by the fibers that are tightly packed together and that are tightly packed around the tubes, to control the flow rate of feed fluid between them.10-07-2010

20100073160ALERTING USERS USING A MULTIPLE STATE STATUS ICON - A user alert system is described that provides multiple dimensions of information to a user through a status icon. Initially the status icon displays a neutral state that informs the user that the user alert system is running, but there are currently no relevant alerts for the user to view. When the user alert system receives a lower priority alert, the system determines if the number of lower priority alerts received exceeds a threshold. If the number of lower priority alerts exceeds the threshold, then the user alert system modifies the status icon to display a low alert state. When the user alert system receives a higher priority alert, the system modifies the status icon to display a high alert state. Thus, the user alert system displays both the existence of alerts and the priority of the alerts to the user at the same time.03-25-2010
