Abstract: A vacuum cleaner is described having a suction unit, a first cleaning tool, and a second cleaning tool. The first cleaning tool is attachable to the suction unit and includes a first dirt separator. The second cleaning tool is likewise attachable to the suction unit and includes a second dirt separator. The first dirt separator and the second dirt separator employ different mechanisms for separating dirt from an airflow.

Abstract: A gauge for indicating a measured variable such as pressure. The gauge includes a motion detection device including a drive magnet that is adapted to be moveable in response to changes in the variable. The pointer rotation device includes a pivot member, a power magnet coupled to the pivot member, and one or more director members located adjacent the power magnet. Each director member includes a generally helical flange. A pointer is coupled to the pointer rotation device. The director members and the power magnet form a magnetic field adapted to magnetically couple the pointer rotation device to the drive magnet. The pointer rotation device is adapted to rotate about a rotational axis. Movement of the drive magnet in response to changes in the variable rotates the pointer rotation device and the pointer about the rotational axis such that the pointer indicates the measured variable.

Abstract: The present invention provides a submersible motor and pump system for use in a wellbore. More specifically, the present invention provides a submersible system having a sealed motor and a magnetic coupling to transmit torque from the sealed motor to the pump.

Abstract: A multiphase pumping system comprising an electric submersible pumping system. To accommodate the multiphase environment, the electric submersible pumping system utilizes self-lubricating, abrasion resistant ceramic bearings. In one embodiment, the bearings are made from graphite impregnated silicon carbide.

Abstract: A system and method for the abatement of industrial process gases utilizing a combustion engine in combination with an oxidizer. The use of these two elements in conjunction with the use of concentrating equipment where required provides for an energy efficient pollution control method. Means are provided for splitting the gas flow into two streams in any proportion or manner, the first stream mixed with air being passed to a combustion engine, the second being passed to the combustion unit. Means for detecting and controlling are also provided to provide optimal ratio/quantity of gases to the engine in accordance with its requirements.
