Patent number: 11653483Abstract: Systems, apparatus, methods, and techniques of assembly of discrete modules of a control panel are disclosed. The modules can be independently wired, tested, and installed into a control panel. Module definitions are defined specifying components to perform the electrical function, a mechanical arrangement of the components, electrical connections, and logical interactions of the module. A bill of materials can be generated based on a designation of a set of modules for a control panel and the module definitions. Modularly assembled control panels are disclosed. An assembly frame is described herein for temporarily mounting components of a module for independent assembly of a control module and for eventual removal and installation into a control panel frame. The assembly frame may include a faceplate frame and side frames and temporary mounting features.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2021Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: Julian M. Alzate, Cameron Scott Soller, Bryan Gentry, Kyle Ellis Hildenbrand

Patent number: 11460114Abstract: A bonnet seal assembly for a gate valve includes a generally cylindrical packing nut positioned in the stem bore around the valve stem. The packing nut includes first and second spaced-apart annular sealing surfaces, and the bonnet seal assembly includes a third annular sealing surface connected to or formed integrally with the valve stem and a fourth annular sealing surface formed concentrically in the stem bore. In a first position of the valve stem, the first annular sealing surface sealingly engages the third annular sealing surface to thereby form a first seal between the valve stem and the packing nut, and the second annular sealing surface sealing engages the fourth annular sealing surface to thereby form a second seal between the packing nut and the stem bore. In this manner, the first and second seals together operate to seal the stem bore from fluid pressure in the gate cavity.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2020Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Inventor: Kyle Ellis

Patent number: 9102644Abstract: The present invention describes methods and apparatuses for the synthesis of 5-(chloromethyl)-2-furaldehyde (CMF) from saccharides in pure or crude form, the method comprising: (a) continuously contacting saccharides in pure or crude form, hydrochloric acid, and an organic solvent, by way of a continuous, biphasic-flow reactor assembly at a temperature from about 60 degrees C. to about 200 degrees C. and pressures from about 1 atmosphere to about 20 atmospheres, such that CMF is produced; (b) separating 5-(chloromethyl)-2-furaldehyde by liquid/liquid and solid/liquid phase separation; (c) producing at least five kilograms per day with at least 50% yield. Embodiments of the present invention can produce CMF in a continuous fashion, with high yield and without degradation of CMF to such side products as 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF), 2-(2-hydroxyacetyl)furan (HAF) and levulinic acid (LA).Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2014Date of Patent: August 11, 2015Assignee: XF Technologies Inc.Inventors: Peter Mikochik, Aviad Cahana, Edward Nikitin, Jeremy Standiford, Kyle Ellis, Luzheng Zhang, Timothy George
