Publication number: 20190204028Abstract: A evaporator provides an evaporator that includes an evaporator core, an evaporator tank attached to the evaporator core, at least one baffle incorporated into the evaporator tank, and multi-piece end plate assemblies attached to the tank. Each end plate assembly includes inner and an outer end plate layers. Each of the layers includes crimps. The inner end plate layer is preliminarily attached to the open end of the evaporator tank, during which proper alignment of the plate to the tank is made. The crimps of the inner end plate layer are crimped over. The outer end plate layer is then preliminarily attached to the inner end plate layer by crimping, thereby allowing preliminary attachment of the end plates to the tank to assure proper alignment prior to the end plates being fixed in position by a method such as brazing.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2017Publication date: July 4, 2019Applicant: Air International (US) Inc.Inventors: Halim Wijaya, Nickolaos Economou, Marius Daniel Luca, Shen Jie

Publication number: 20140217802Abstract: There is provided an adjustable air chamber which is located beneath the prostate area that is housed within the cushion of the seat contour which may be vertically deflated and reinflated 1½ inches by utilizing an electronic two-position switch located alongside the automobile and truck seat. The rider may select the desired position to allow for maximum rider comfort. The electronic pump would be actuated by a motor controlled by the electronic two-position switch and force air into the air chamber. A pressure valve between the pump and air chamber would be used to bleed off excessive air to prevent over inflation. Accordingly, the prostate automobile and truck seat would eliminate contact on the prostate thereby reducing the risk of deleterious effects on the rider's prostate.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2013Publication date: August 7, 2014Inventor: Eugene Daniel Lucas

Patent number: 8230645Abstract: An adjustable restraining stop assembly permits a residential double hung window to be locked in a partially opened position to permit ventilation through the partial opening. The stop assembly includes an outer tube with a telescoping inner tube. The outer tube is mounted to a window sash by a removable fixation device, such as a mounting hook and loop arrangement. A convenience knob is attached near the distal end of the inner tube. Adjustment is set by placing a desired hole of a plurality of holes in the telescoping inner tube in registration with a single hole in the outer tube and then inserting the end of a fastener, such as a cotter pin, locking both tubes together.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2008Date of Patent: July 31, 2012Inventors: Alex Luca, Daniel Luca

Patent number: 8113583Abstract: The prostate golf cart seat protects the prostate area of men from continuous bouncing by providing 1½ inches of air space between the seat and the prostate. The prostate golf cart seat may be movable or stationary. The stationary seat has two 7 inch wide spaces with 1½ inches of air space under the prostate. All seat cushions are 1½ inches thick allowing for the 1½ inches of air space between the seat and the prostate. The movable seat has two 8 inch stationary end cushions. The center would consist of two 8 inch cushions moving along a rail which allows riders to close the 7 inch seat gap to 3 inches from the stationary end cushion. The center air space between each rider and seat of each would have a depth 1½ inches. A “T” bolt or a knurled knob is used for adjusting the seat cushions. The stationary seat has two 7 inch wide spaces. A depth of 1½ inches between the prostate and the seat is effectuated as the seat itself is 1½ inches thick.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2009Date of Patent: February 14, 2012Inventor: Eugene Daniel Lucas

Patent number: 8073665Abstract: A method for analyzing an oilfield network. The method includes collecting oilfield data from an oilfield network, modeling a first wellsite and a second wellsite using the oilfield data to create a first production model of the first wellsite and a second production model of the second wellsite. The method further includes modeling a sub-network of the oilfield network to create a third production model of the sub-network. The modeling of the sub-network includes identifying a junction of branches associated with the first wellsite and the second wellsite. A fourth production model is created for the junction by combining the first production model with the second production model. The production model of the sub-network is created using the fourth production model of the junction. The method further includes solving the oilfield network based on the third production model to create a production result, and storing the production result.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2009Date of Patent: December 6, 2011Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Colin Watters, Adrian Ferramosca, James Bennett, Daniel Lucas-Clements
