  • Publication number: 20080272303
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for determining fuel quality and ethanol content. A mobile fuel analysis apparatus including a vehicle is provided. A database includes near-infrared spectra of standard fuel from a plurality of suppliers to establish correlation between quality parameter and the spectra of the oils. A near-infrared spectrometer is equipped on the vehicle and transported to a fuel distribution point. A near-infrared spectrum of a fuel sample is collected from the fuel distribution point. The collected spectrum is compared to the near-infrared spectra in the database, and converted into corresponding quality parameters.

  • Patent number: 6293745
    Abstract: A screw includes a shank and a head. The head includes a driving socket having a long slot that extends axially into the head to a depth. A first short recess is defined in a bottom wall defining the long slot and extended along a longitudinal axis of the long slot, the first short recess being narrower yet deeper than the long slot. A second short recess extends along an axis that is normal to the longitudinal axis of the long slot. The second short recess is as deep as the first short recess, the short recesses together defining a cross-shape recess for receiving a Phillips type screw driver, the cross-shape recess including four ends. The driving socket of the head further includes a square recess that is located within an area defined by the four ends of the short recesses, the square recess being adapted to receive a square socket type driver. The square recess extends axially into the head to a depth deeper than the short recesses.
