  • Publication number: 20210396194
    Abstract: This present invention relates to an electromagnetic propulsion system comprised of a plurality of electromagnets for powering an alternator, and a turbo fan inside a container specially designed to release heat and pressure therefrom via a plurality of vents in the container. More specifically, a plurality of sensors on the electromagnets detect the position of the alternator and generate electricity for the vehicle, watercraft or aircraft, and creates air in the chamber that is then vented to manipulate movements of the vehicle, watercraft or aircraft.

  • Publication number: 20130277022
    Abstract: A heat exchanger for transferring heat between two fluids consists of a shell surrounding at least two tube bundles attached at both ends to a tube header. Each of the tube bundles is constructed from a plurality of individual tubes that are twisted into identical helixes formed about a common helical axis. Because each individual tube is formed in the shape of a helix, rather than as a straight tube, thermal elongation of the individual tubes results in a considerably reduced axial force on the tube attachments and tube header. Use of multiple tube bundles wound with opposite twist direction improves spacing efficiency between tubes.

  • Patent number: 8146665
    Abstract: A wellbore services manifold trailer comprising a blender connector configured to couple to a blender, a boost pump coupled to the blender connector, a high-pressure pump suction connector coupled to the boost pump and configured to couple to a high-pressure pump, a high-pressure pump discharge connector configured to couple to the high-pressure pump, and a wellhead connector configured to couple to a wellhead is disclosed. A wellbore servicing method comprises receiving a fluid at a first pressure, increasing the pressure of the fluid to a second pressure greater than the first pressure, feeding the fluid to a high-pressure pump at the second pressure, receiving the fluid from the high-pressure pump at a third pressure greater than the second pressure, and feeding the fluid to a wellhead at the third pressure is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20070125541
    Abstract: A threaded connection assembly comprises a nut, a multiplier connected to the nut via a first threaded interface having a first number of threads per inch and a well servicing pipe coupling connected to the multiplier via a second threaded interface having a second number of threads per inch. A method of forming a threaded connection for a well servicing application comprises forming a pipe coupling between two well servicing pipe sections and threading a connector to the pipe coupling to form a threaded connection without impact loading the connector. Another method for forming a threaded connection comprises disposing a first pipe section partially within a nut, threading a multiplier into the nut, threading the multiplier onto a second pipe section, and leveraging the multiplier against the nut, or vice versa.

  • Publication number: 20070082798
    Abstract: A die cutting/scoring apparatus has die cutting/scoring and blanket covered steel anvil roller pairs arranged in sections some of which sections displace to permit dismounting of and changing die cutting/scoring rule members or printing members mounted on plywood substrates, which are bolted to a roller. The roller pairs also convey sheet material being processed through the sections. Sheet material pliable drive members are provided which replace the die cutting rule members or printing members on a roller in an idle section. The drive members comprise pliable magnetic substrates made of vinyl, rubber or elastomeric material which magnetically attach to a corresponding steel roller that is being idled. A pliable compressible foam or other rubber or plastic material high friction drive engagement member is bonded to the substrate forming a strip which is easily and quickly wrapped about a roller.

  • Publication number: 20060191390
    Abstract: Mating abutting male and female locking projections depend from a die cutter blanket at opposite ends. The ends are received in an anvil channel having an arcuate corner surface. The anvil channel has a slot that receives a locking plate lip attached to the female projection in one embodiment to secure the female end. In the alternative, the projection and anvil channel have wedge shaped complementary portions and also may use replaceable strips. A blanket locking mechanism includes tandem primary and secondary air cylinders. The male blanket end has a locking recess that receives a locking mechanism nose. The nose simultaneously circumferentially and radially pulls the male end into the channel by operation of the primary cylinder. A locking bar is rotatably secured to the primary cylinder shaft and slidably rotates about an arcuate surface on a mounting base on the anvil and on an anvil coextensive arcuate surface as the primary cylinder shaft is lowered.

  • Patent number: 7095379
    Abstract: An electrical component and a method of constructing it are disclosed. The component includes a hollow tubular structure. The structure includes a series of axially spaced apart rings and at least one outer perimeter housing member. The housing member interconnects the rings for defining an internal configuration of the hollow tubular structure for electrical purposes. The rings and the housing member each include inter-engageable elements for helping secure mechanically the rings and housing member together to facilitate final assembly of the electrical component.

  • Publication number: 20050217877
    Abstract: An apparatus for rotating a threaded tightening device includes a guide and an anvil utilized to impact a lug on the threaded tightening device to rotate the tightening device onto or off of a threaded member. The guide has a frame with a support sleeve attached thereto. A reciprocating device is received in and is supported by the support sleeve. The anvil is attached to the reciprocating device. When the reciprocating device is received in and is supported by the support sleeve, actuation of the reciprocating device will cause the anvil to repeatedly impact a lug to rotate the threaded tightening device in the desired direction.

  • Patent number: 6409390
    Abstract: A duplex bearing mount including at least one duplex bearing having an inner race and an outer race, the inner race disposed within the outer race and being rotatable relative to the outer race about an axis, the inner race having substantially no relative movement relative to the outer race in at least one direction along the axis, the inner and outer races each having first and second axial faces which are respectively located at the same axial end of the duplex bearing. The duplex bearing is radially supported by a housing, and a shaft extends through the inner race, the shaft radially and axially supported by the inner race. A first retainer is connected to the housing and engages the first axial surface of a bearing race, the movement of which race in a first direction along the axis being constrained by the first retainer.
