Patent number: 8407972Abstract: A container sealing apparatus 10 comprises an electrically conductive linearly displaceable cutting member 14 operable to cut a portion 18 of sealing material from a web 16 and an independently linearly displaceable transfer member 42 comprising an electrically insulating material and extendible relative to the cutting member 14 to transfer the cut portion 18 of sealing material to an open top of a container 12 to be sealed. An induction coil 52 produces an induction field 54 for heating the cut portion 18 of sealing material, either directly or indirectly, by induction heating to seal the cut portion 18 of sealing material to the open top of the container 12. The linearly displaceable transfer member 42 holds the cut portion 18 of sealing material against the open top of the container 12 during induction heating.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2010Date of Patent: April 2, 2013Assignee: Relco UK LtdInventors: Mark Gill, Paul Gill, Richard William Adams, Daniel Vanko, Keith Leslie Harman

Patent number: 7686938Abstract: An electrochemical noise method, apparatus and system calculates parameters of interest related to corrosion rates of an electrically conductive article. The method involves placing a test electrode, a reference electrode, and an auxiliary electrode in an environment of interest; placing the test electrode under potentiostatic control regime for a potential scan; measuring the relationship of current v. potential (polarization resistance, Rp) of the test electrode relative to the reference electrode during a first period; switching from potentiostatic control to the open circuit potential (OCP) of the test electrode; monitoring the OCP of the test electrode during a second period; determining ?I from the relationship Rp=?V/?I, where ?V is measured over a second period of time; and calculating the localized corrosion from the measured potential and current data.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2005Date of Patent: March 30, 2010Assignee: Baker Hughes IncorporatedInventors: Raymond Paul Gill, Vladimir Jovancicevic, Wai Yeung Mok, Paul Hammonds

Patent number: 7622030Abstract: Simultaneous determination of general corrosion and localized corrosion rate measurements is achieved with polarization applied by the electrodes themselves rather than externally applied polarization. Two or more working electrodes may be galvanically coupled. A localized pitting corrosion event on one of the electrodes will lead to a potential transient. The area within the potential transient is measured with the baseline being the initial starting potential. This gives localized corrosion as a function of time. The relationship Rp=?V/?I is calculated, where Rp is the polarization resistance of the working electrodes and is a measure of generalized corrosion rate.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2006Date of Patent: November 24, 2009Assignee: Baker Hughes IncorporatedInventors: Raymond Paul Gill, Vladimir Jovancicevic, Wai Yeung Mok, Paul Hammonds

Publication number: 20070215238Abstract: An assembly for controlling delivery of material from a bin opening includes a movable bin gate for closing the bin opening and providing a high flow rate of material when the movable gate is open, wherein a low flow aperture is formed in the bin gate to provide a low flow rate of material when the bin gate is positioned such that only the low flow aperture is open. A two-stage flow enhancer within the bin includes a first stage for impelling material in the direction of the low flow aperture and a second stage for impelling material to exit through the low flow aperture. A controller controls operation of the bin gate to adjust a flow rate of material from the bin opening.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2006Publication date: September 20, 2007Inventors: Anders Ruikka, Paul Gill, Richard Johnson, Dale Kratochwill
