Patent number: 8333020Abstract: A shoe assembly with a retractable fin assembly that moves between two extreme positions. One of the positions is the retracted position with the fin assembly housed within a longitudinally and transversely extending cavity along the shoe's sole. The other extreme position for the fin assembly being distended outside the sole for maximum propulsion use in a body of water. Resilient support members are mounted to the lateral sides of connecting flexible web portions. A releasable fastening mechanism with a stopper for the smallest support member causes the web portions to stay taut.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2009Date of Patent: December 18, 2012Inventor: Abelardo Sanchez

Patent number: 8261663Abstract: An electrical delay detonator for use in blasting initiation systems energized by a non-electric impulse signal transmitted through a non-electrical conduit, such as a shock tube, with one end inserted inside a detonator housing having redundant sensors for detecting the presence of a non-electric impulse signal and a computerized control circuit for actuating the firing circuit. An elevated voltage is generated, stored in a capacitor assembly, and discharged when fired to an electrically operable igniter. The igniter, when activated, detonates an explosive mass. A battery is also contained within the detonator housing for powering the control circuit and one sensor, in low consumption mode, for several days. Upon detecting the presence of a signal the rest of the circuits are powered up. Periodic time windows generated by the control assembly provide corresponding enabled time periods for the sensors to become operational.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2010Date of Patent: September 11, 2012Inventors: Pio Francisco Perez Cordova, Juan Carlos Trejo Maguina

Patent number: 8225870Abstract: A method for making gravel filters in oil well bores. The first step involves ascertaining the location of a producing formation adjacent to a cemented casing in a well bore. Then, a portion of the casing adjacent to the producing formation is cut, enlarging the bore adjacent to the producing formation. Subsequently, a sufficient amount of gravel is deposited in the enlarged portion of the bore to create an effective filter for a producing tube with a screen at its distal end. The distal end is positioned adjacent to the cemented bottom of the well bore. The method maximizes the diameter of the gravel deposited by delivering it exteriorly of the screen of the producing tube and through the annular space defined and sealed between the screen and the casing.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2011Date of Patent: July 24, 2012Assignee: Mecol Holding, LLCInventors: Alejandro Pietrobelli, Fausto Pietrobelli

Patent number: 8187397Abstract: An explosive emulsion to be used in conjunction with a gas-producing agent, such as sodium nitrite, to form an explosive emulsion with a density between 0.50 g/cm3 and 0.90 g/cm3. The present invention also includes the method for producing the explosive emulsion. The explosive emulsion is stable for at least 96 hours with nitrogen bubbles, having a predetermined dimension range, homogenously distributed. To maintain this low-density explosive emulsion stable, between 84% and 95% by weight of an oxidizing solution is combined with 5% to 16% by weight of a fuel solution. The fuel solution includes solid cacao fat as a stabilizing agent and stearic acid to prevent the combination of the nitrogen bubbles. The method for producing the oxidizing solution includes combining ammonium nitrate, sodium nitrate, thiourea, urea, and water at a temperature between 80 and 90 degrees centigrade. In another step of the method, a fuel solution is produced by combining an emulsifier, oil, diesel No.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2010Date of Patent: May 29, 2012Assignee: Industrias Minco, S.A.C.Inventors: Pio Francisco Perez Cordova, Luis Alfredo Cardenas Lopez

Patent number: 7998126Abstract: A urine collector for females that use a frustropyramidal funnel member with a narrow end that has a rhombus-shape cross-section that a user can deform to fit a cooperating locking assembly with a frustropyramidal through aperture. As the deforming pressure on the folds of the funnel member is released, the outer walls of the narrow end of the funnel engage the internal walls of a frustropyramidal central through aperture in the locking assembly keeping the funnel member in place. The locking assembly can be integrally built in the collecting container or in a separate closure locking assembly.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2005Date of Patent: August 16, 2011Inventor: Benidecto Fernandez

Patent number: 7992584Abstract: A walker with wheels that are retracted upon the application of a force of predetermined magnitude to permit a user to move the walker when he or she partially leans on the walker while providing a solid anchored support if he or she leans with more weight exceeding a predetermined magnitude. The walker includes a structural elongated assembly with a handle and forearm cuff at one end. The other end is rigidly mounted to two base assemblies that are kept at a parallel and spaced apart relationship with respect to each other. The base assemblies have a bottom surface. Retractable wheels are mounted to the base assemblies. The wheels are spring biased to protrude beyond the bottom surface so that they support the walker when at rest and as long as the user does not apply a force that exceeds a predetermined magnitude.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2010Date of Patent: August 9, 2011Inventor: Bernardo Birnbaum

Patent number: 7975426Abstract: A fishing rod holder with automatic pull that operates unattended and automatically pulls when a force of predetermined magnitude is applied to the line. The holder includes a housing where an assembly for removably holding a fishing rod is pivotally mounted and movable between two extreme positions. The housing includes a stopper member cooperatively mounted outwardly to coact with the locking mechanism. A spring assembly biases the holder assembly towards the rearmost extreme position and a locking assembly for releasably holding the rod holder keeps the latter at the foremost extreme position. A trigger sensing the tension of the fishing line is automatically actuated by exceeding a predetermined tension magnitude causing it to pivot and transmit a rotational movement to an elongated member. The other end of the elongated member includes a spring biased retractable chamfered pin. The pin has a slanted termination and a flat termination.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2008Date of Patent: July 12, 2011Inventors: Pedro Cabrera, Gustavo Rivero

Patent number: 7931179Abstract: A holder for compound tray and tools that includes a flexible sheet assembly that is removably mounted to a belt positioned around a user's waist. The sheet assembly includes a number of pockets with magnets designed for holding tools inside. Reinforcement members are mounted to the upper and lower edges of the sheet assembly to hold the sheet assembly in an extended position yet there are no reinforcement members along the lateral edges to still permit some flexibility of the sheet assembly. A tray holder assembly is mounted to the reinforcement adjacent to the lower edge. A tray holder supporting assembly, like cords, keeps the tray holder in a substantially horizontal position. Magnetic elements that are mounted to the tray and tray holder cause the tray to come toward the tray holder providing stability to the structure. Locking members can also be removably mounted to the tray and tray holder assembly to keep them together.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2008Date of Patent: April 26, 2011Inventor: Juan Carlos Cuellar
