Patent number: 6855049Abstract: A collapsible fish cleaner in the form of a V-shaped trough or holding tray with integral ends that performs similarly to welded or molded fish cleaners to securely hold fish for cleaning on the outside of a boat. Seven integrally incorporated hinge assemblies allow the device to be folded completely flat without disassembly. The device is made ready by unfolding from the flat storage position to the V-shape. The hinges are an integral part of each of six parts interfacing with each other on seven axes in this design. In the use of the device, a support flange rests on the side gunwale of a boat, secured to the boat by a quick release connector.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2003Date of Patent: February 15, 2005Inventors: Kenny Carl Richardson, Larry Donn Richardson

Patent number: 6843196Abstract: The An anchor retrieval assist device including a āUā shaped type of boat bow chock-rope guide and anchor staging and storage device which allows buoy type anchor retrieval devices to be pulled through the guide without rope removal. It is designed to allow pulling of an anchor via the buoy retrieval system with a rope routed through the device and attached to a forward cleat on a boat. The anchor can be easily released from its storage-rest position by raising the anchor rope, tipping the anchor to allow it to roll off the bow rest position into the water. A pin is provided to secure the anchor in the rest position. The device works equally well with or without mechanical buoy type retrievers for anchoring and retrieving the anchor manually.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2003Date of Patent: January 18, 2005Inventors: Kenny Carl Richardson, Larry Donn Richardson

Patent number: 6818043Abstract: A method for efficiently removing vapor-phase contaminants from gas streams is described. A powdered adsorbent such as activated carbon is ground into a fine powder by wet grinding to form a slurry. Chemicals are added to the slurry to impregnate the sorbent to enhance sorbent effectiveness. The slurry chemical mixture is sprayed into the gas stream in the form of small droplets which evaporate to produce an aerosol of fine adsorbent particles. Vapor-phase contaminants in the gas stream adsorb onto the fine adsorbent particle surfaces and the adsorbent particles are removed from the gas stream by a conventional particle collection method.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2003Date of Patent: November 16, 2004Assignee: Electric Power Research Institute, Inc.Inventors: Ramsay Chang, Frank Meserole, Carl Richardson

Publication number: 20040029516Abstract: The Stow Away Collapsible fish cleaner is a V-shaped trough or holding tray with integral ends that performs similarly to welded or molded fish cleaners to securely hold fish for cleaning on the outside of the boat. The Stow Away is substantially different in that it is made up 7 integrally incorporated hinge assemblies which allow the devise to be folded completely flat without disassembly. The folded flat dimension is approximately 1.5″ inches including the 1 inch gunnel support flange. The devise is made ready by unfolding from the flat storage position to the V-shape with no assembly. The primary components are made of aluminum with stainless steel hinge pins making it strong and durable. The hinges are an integral part of each of six (6) parts interfacing with each other on seven (7) axis in this design. The devise rests on the side gunnel of the boat on the support flange, secured by web strap and a lever type harness clip (or other quick release connector) to the boat.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2003Publication date: February 12, 2004Inventors: Kenny Carl Richardson, Larry Donn Richardson

Patent number: 5601784Abstract: An on-line control and monitoring system for automatically and continuously analyzing key process indicators in a wet lime/limestone flue gas desulfurization process is provided. The on-line control and monitoring system obtains a slurry and/or a slurry flitrate which is directed at selected fluid flow rates to one or more analytical devices each selected to analyze a flue gas desulfurization process indicator. Data is provided to a data acquisition system which processes the analysis results from the analytical devices and provides flue gas desulfurization process control information. This on-line monitoring and control system can be used to monitor and control the addition rate of performance enhancement additives such as organic acids, thiosulfate, oxidation air and the like.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 1994Date of Patent: February 11, 1997Assignee: Electric Power Research InstituteInventors: Robert L.

Patent number: 5505854Abstract: A continuous filtration system for supplying an uninterrupted supply of filtrate from a solids-containing industrial process suitable for use by on-line automatic analyzers is provided. The continuous filtration system, which is particularly useful for filtering flue gas desulfurization process slurry to produce a solids-free filtrate for autoanalysis, includes a pair of filters connected in series which concurrently receive a tangential flow of slurry into the filter head that is discharged perpendicularly through a filtrate head. An automatic flushing system is provided to keep the filter membranes free of solid particles. An optional autoanalyzer for unfiltered slurry may also be included in the system.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 1994Date of Patent: April 9, 1996Assignee: Electric Power Research InstituteInventors: Robert L.

Patent number: 4147618Abstract: An improved apparatus for and method of measuring the mass of the contents of a product is described, in which the mass of the contents of the product is relatively small compared to the mass of the entire product. The products are sequentially conveyed to an inspection station where preferably a predetermined portion of the volume of the product (which includes at least a portion of the volume of the contents) is substantially instantaneously irradiated with a beam of radiation and preferably only scattered radiation from the contents of the product thus irradiated is detected to provide an electrical signal whose magnitude is representative of the mass of the contents of the product. The products can then be sorted in accordance with the measured mass of their contents.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 1977Date of Patent: April 3, 1979Assignee: Bedford Engineering CorporationInventors: Carl Richardson, Philip A. Wiley

Patent number: 4117935Abstract: A novel apparatus for and method of measuring product mass is described in which products are sequentially conveyed to an inspection station where the entire bulk of each product is substantially instantaneously irradiated with a beam of radiation. Scattered radiation from the product thus irradiated is detected to provide an electrical signal whose magnitude is representative of the mass of the product. The products can be sorted in accordance with their measured mass.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 1976Date of Patent: October 3, 1978Assignee: Bedford Engineering Corp.Inventors: Carl Richardson, Hugh F.
