Patent number: 7789539Abstract: A compact luminaire which includes a housing, a ballast, and a first and second electrical component. The housing has a back and a perimeter wall which extends generally perpendicularly from the back. The perimeter wall has a top wall portion, a bottom wall portion disposed in a downward direction with respect to the top wall portion and sidewall portions connecting the top wall portion and the bottom wall portion. The ballast is mounted to the back adjacent the bottom wall portion and is substantially equidistant to the side wall portions and the first and second electrical components are mounted to the housing on opposite sides of the ballast in a balanced fashion.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2008Date of Patent: September 7, 2010Assignee: Howard Industries, Inc.Inventors: Rick Kauffman, Edward Bilson, Barbara Bilson, legal representative, Jason Cook

Publication number: 20100073939Abstract: A roadway luminaire generally includes a housing and a door pivotably connected to the housing. The housing includes a rear wall having an opening sized and shaped to receive a mounting arm for mounting the luminaire thereto, a top wall extending from the rear wall and an arm receiving channel formed in the top wall adjacent the rear wall for receiving an end of the mounting arm. The channel is formed with a step arrangement having a plurality of steps ascending in order along a length of the channel. The steps permit angular mounting adjustment of the housing with respect to the mounting arm depending on which step the end of the mounting arm rests.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2008Publication date: March 25, 2010Inventors: Rick Kauffman, Edward Bilson, Barbara Bilson, Gerald Ballard

Publication number: 20080037259Abstract: A luminaire assembly generally includes a reflector having a center of symmetry and a lamp supported within the reflector, wherein the lamp is offset from the reflector center of symmetry, whereby light emitted from the lamp is reflected by the reflector in an asymmetric pattern. In a method of illuminating a roadway having traffic moving in a flow direction, a luminaire having a reflector and a lamp is mounted at a side of the roadway and light emitted from the lamp is reflected with the reflector whereby a greater portion of the reflected light is directed in the traffic flow direction than is directed against the traffic flow direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 9, 2007Publication date: February 14, 2008Inventors: Chris Walker, Edward Bilson, Rick Kauffman

Patent number: 4104157Abstract: This invention relates to the process of flotation concentration of a sulfide mineral in which an aqueous pulp of an ore containing such mineral is subjected to a flotation operation to produce a final high-grade flotation concentrate of such mineral, the improvement comprising carrying out said flotation with a polyglycerol present in the aqueous pulp in an amount sufficient to increase recovery of such mineral in the final concentrate over that obtainable without the presence of said polyglycerol.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 1976Date of Patent: August 1, 1978Assignee: Inspiration Consolidated Copper CompanyInventors: Gerald F. Fountain, Jaime Veloz, Edward A. Bilson, John A. Cronin

Patent number: 4076605Abstract: This invention relates to a process for the recovery of metal values from copper refinery anode slimes composed largely of copper, selenium, insolubles, and precious metals, including silver, comprising leaching the slimes with a solution containing from 20 to 200 g/l H.sub.2 SO.sub.4 and from 2 to 25 g/l hexavalent chromium at a temperature not exceeding about 80.degree. C., whereby copper dissolution is maximized and selenium and silver dissolution are minimized, separating the leach solution from the undissolved slimes residue, precipitating selenium from the separated leach solution by treatment with metallic copper, and electrowinning copper from the resulting purified solution.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 1976Date of Patent: February 28, 1978Assignee: Inspiration Consolidated Copper CompanyInventor: Edward A. Bilson

Patent number: 4032330Abstract: A process for the leaching and recovery of copper values from copper-containing material which comprises vat leaching a sulfidic copper-containing material with an aqueous acidic ferric sulfate leach solution initially containing at least 10 gpl ferric ion to form a copper pregnant leach solution containing substantially less than 10 gpl ferric ion and a corresponding increase in ferrous ion concentration, extracting said leach solution with an extractant selective to copper and non-selective to iron to strip the copper values from said leach solution, adjusting the acid content of the stripped leach solution to between about 10 to 20 gpl to form an acidic leach solution, passing said acidic stripped leach solution through at least one mineral dump containing oxidized copper for a time sufficient to cause reoxidation of ferrous ion to restore the concentration of ferric ion to at least about 10 gpl, adding sufficient sulfuric acid to the dump off-solution to cause said solution to have an acid concentration oType: GrantFiled: June 30, 1976Date of Patent: June 28, 1977Assignee: Inspiration Consolidated Copper CompanyInventors: Gerald F. Fountain, Jaime Veloz, Harry R. Dahlberg, Edward A. Bilson

Patent number: 4028235Abstract: The improvement in the process of concentrating a sulfide mineral by froth flotation from an aqueous pulp of an ore containing such mineral, comprising using as at least part of the aqueous phase of the pulp sewage treatment plant water effluent conditioned prior to use with at least about 3 parts per million of a polyglycerol.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 1976Date of Patent: June 7, 1977Assignee: Inspiration Consolidated Copper CompanyInventors: Gerald F. Fountain, Jaime Veloz, Edward A. Bilson, John A. Cronin
