Abstract: A process for the separation of components of a normally vapor stream containing methane and heavier components by a cryogenic process. This process consisting of cooling the inlet stream, separating the remaining vapor from the resulting liquid which is directed into a distillation column. The vapor is expanded and produced liquids are fed into the distillation column. The expanded vapor stream is contacted with a reflux obtained from a specific source resulting in a secondary reflux which is directed to the top of the distillation column. The origin of the reflux stream is determined by the specific application requirements.

The shield receives the paint roller with a portion of the roller extending outwardly from the shield, where it is exposed to a stream of water from a hose, the shield having a drip guard and the handle of the shield having means for accommodating several sizes of handles and the shield accepting several sizes and styles of paint rollers.

Abstract: A sonic fracing process and means to enhance production of oil and gas wells, increasing formation permeability by creating sonic waves that cracks and loosens the formation interstices. The sonic waves are created by a series of directed detonations and harmonic pulsations. The explosive material is placed inside the well bore and detonated from the surface. Two methods commonly used to increase formation permeability are known as Acidizing and/or Hydraulic Fracturing. The Sonic Frac has been designed to complement these fracing processes.Three inherent benefits are derived by using the Sonic Frac Process. First, and most important, is that the fine formation fissures are cracked and "opened" to allow flow of oil or gas to migrate from pores that would otherwise not be affected by conventional fracing processes. Second the pressure pulsations, which are created by the expansion of the gas utilized in conjunction with the Sonic cause the fluid in the wall bore to oscillate through the perforated zones.

Abstract: A pool skimmer, such as may be used to remove leaves, grass and insects that are on the surface of a swimming pool, or the like, consists of a pair of floats separated by an oblong open framework on which the open end of a net is mounted. The floats are longitudinal members having their respective ends tapered so that the device may be passed over such things as vacuum hoses, and the like, commonly found in a swimming pool, having vertical indentations forming receiving indentations to receive the end members of the framework and having horizontal passageways extending through said indentations to receive anchoring means for maintaining said end members in said grooves.The floats will maintain the bottom of the net opening submerged at the proper depth, and a harness attached to the forward ends of the floats and to one end of a pole, provide means for drawing the device over the surface of the water as desired.

Abstract: A batting practice device for baseball having a base member and a telescoping vertical shaft, with a laterally extended tubular member mounted on the extended end of said shaft and rotatable thereon with a pair of springs resisting the rotatable movement in two directions to yieldably maintain the said tubular member against rotation. A yieldable band such as a strip of rubber or other elastic, is secured adjacent the inner end of said tubular member and extends through said member, and a ball, similar to a baseball, is secured to the other end of said elastic strip and is suspended as a batting target.

Abstract: A bicycle tube repair device having a spherical rubber member from which strands of rubber bands extend, the spherical member being adapted to be forced through a rupture in a tube to repair punctures, particularly those too large to be repaired by tube repair fluid, thus avoiding the necessity of replacing the tube.

Abstract: A clip for telescoping shelf supports for use in anchoring shelving, such as in forming a metallic shelf framework, providing means for erecting and maintaining shelf supports without the use of screws or bolts. A base member is anchored to the outer wall of a male section of the framework, as by welding, and an anchor member is mounted on the frame at a point where the cross member is to be mounted, and is held in place by means of a tension plate, which engages the anchor member and on which are formed outwardly extending lips which receive the side margins of the base member mounted on the cross bar. The frame is composed of telescoping male and female sections having spring loaded stops adapted to extend upwardly through spaced openings in the other and adjoining member.

Abstract: The processing of gaseous streams of feed gas containing hydrocarbons, and other gases of similar volatility, to recover components such as ethane, propane and heavier hydrocarbons from a residue gas containing methane, by cooling the incoming raw gas and to separate the desired products by distillation. The cooling action is obtained by expanding the raw feed gas from a high feed pressure to a lower pressure at which distillation occurs. In the present invention, the raw feed gas is divided into two gas streams before expansion, the first stream, which consists primarily of vapor, is again cooled through a heat exchange device, and is then expanded through an expansion valve to lower the pressure and then fed into the top of the conventional demethanizer column.

Abstract: A process for recovery of components of volatile gas containing methane and heavier components, by a cryogenic process, cooling the incoming raw gas and separating the desired products by distillation, wherein the feed gas is divided into two streams, one being primarily liquid, which is expanded to lower the pressure and then fed into the demethanizer tower at a selected point, and the other stream, being primarily gas, is divided and expanded and discharged into the demethanizer at selected positions to place the streams in the demethanizer to accomplish maximum separation and recovery of the desired components in either an ethane recovery mode or an ethane rejection mode, the pressures and temperatures of the demethanizer being adjustable for either.
