Patent number: 5947057Abstract: A mariculture system and method of culturing marine life with polluted source water. The system includes a water replenishment reservoir, activated carbon and ozone purification devices, a device for removing toxic byproducts of ozonation of salty or brackish (bromine-containing) water, and ponds for the culture of marine animals. The method includes obtaining water containing compounds and organisms detrimental to marine animal life, treating the water so it is suitable for the culture of marine animals, and raising and harvesting marine animals in the treated water.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 1998Date of Patent: September 7, 1999Assignee: The First Republic Corporation of AmericaInventors: Carlos E. Perez, Max L. Hunter

Patent number: 4611954Abstract: An apparatus and method for anchoring a bolt in a bore hole in a rock formation is disclosed. A tensioning assembly, which comprises a tensioning plug and expandable sheath, is threadedly engaged to the end of an elongated bolt. A ring is securely affixed to the inner wall of the plug at a predetermined point adjacent the plug's threaded portion. The end of the bolt abuts the ring upon assembly, thereby causing the bolt and the tensioning assembly to rotate together upon application of a torque to the bolt. This rotational movement effects mixing of bonding material which is placed in the bore hole ahead of the tensioning assembly. As the mixed bonding material begins to harden, rotation of the tensioning assembly is resisted.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 1984Date of Patent: September 16, 1986Assignee: Republic CorporationInventor: Bruce A. Cassidy

Patent number: 4607984Abstract: An apparatus and method for anchoring a bolt in a rock formation is disclosed, and includes a rebar assembly adapted for use in a bore hole and an elongated bolt threadedly engaged to the end of the rebar. A threadable sleeve is securely affixed in an orifice, forged in the end of the rebar, at a predetermined point adjacent the orifice threaded portion. The end of the bolt abuts the sleeve upon assembly, thereby causing the bolt and the rebar assembly to rotate together upon application of a torque to the bolt. This rotational movement effects mixing of bonding material which is placed in the bore hole ahead of the rebar assembly. As the mixed bonding material begins to harden, rotation of the rebar assembly is resisted. Upon application to the bolt of a torque in excess of a predetermined torque, the bolt will thread the sleeve located in the rebar orifice by cutting threads therein, thereby causing relative rotational movement between the rebar and the bolt.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 1984Date of Patent: August 26, 1986Assignee: Republic CorporationInventor: Bruce A. Cassidy

Patent number: 4518282Abstract: A bearing plate for supporting a portion of a mine roof or similar surface. The bearing plate includes a substantially planar, roof-bearing portion having a roof-bearing surface. Also included is a substantially planar bolt-head bearing surface. The bolt-head bearing surface includes a concentrically located aperture adapted to receive a roof bolt having a bolt head. The bolt-head bearing surface is spaced from the planar roof-bearing portion and is substantially parallel to the roof-bearing surface. A wall extends at an angle from the bolt-head bearing surface about its outer periphery. A reinforcing wall extends radially outward from the distal end of the angled wall and merges with the roof-bearing portion. The reinforcing wall defines a frusto-conical portion, the base of which is conterminous with the roof-bearing portion, and a cylindrical portion, the base of which merges with the distal end of the frusto-conical portion.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 1981Date of Patent: May 21, 1985Assignee: Republic CorporationInventors: Raymond J. Wilcox, Earl W. Powers

Patent number: 4498863Abstract: A feed forward control system maximizes combustion efficiency in a combustion system, by controlling the amount of excess air supplied to the burner. The feed forward control system includes flow sensors for sensing the flow of air and fuel to the burner. Based upon the fuel flow measurement, a digital computer determines the correct stoichiometric amount of combustion air required and the firing rate of the burner. Based upon the firing rate, the digital computer determines, from stored data in a look-up table, the necessary excess air required. Based upon the stoichiometric combustion air and the excess air, the computer determines the actual air that is required. This air required is then compared with the air flow measurement received by the digital computer. Based upon this comparison, an air trim actuator is driven by the computer until the required air flow is attained.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 1983Date of Patent: February 12, 1985Assignee: Hays-Republic CorporationInventors: Robert C. Hanson, Leon C. Hanson

Patent number: 4200326Abstract: An axle and wheel assembly particularly adapted for railcar usage is disclosed as having a metal-foam construction that is light in weight but of a relatively high strength. The axle includes an elongated hollow steel outer axle member and an elongated hollow steel inner axle member received within the outer axle member with the foam injected therebetween so as to cure and bond to the members and function as a load bearing element therebetween. Adhesion between the axle members and the foam is increased by applying an adhesive to the members prior to the injection of the foam. An intermediate portion of the outer axle member between ends of the axle includes outwardly deformed ribs that increase the cross-sectional area thereof without increasing the weight to enhance the lightweight and high strength characteristics of the axle.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 1977Date of Patent: April 29, 1980Assignee: Republic CorporationInventor: Raymond J. Wilcox
