Publication number: 20190376648Abstract: A pressure vessel balanced refuelling system enables greater volumes of gas to be used as working volumes and increases gas storage efficiency. The system includes a plurality of pressure vessels, each vessel having a liquid transfer opening for the entry and exit of a liquid that is used to displace a gas inside each vessel. A liquid transfer line extends from an outside to an inside of each vessel in the plurality of pressure vessels through the liquid transfer opening, and a liquid balance line inter-connects the liquid transfer opening of each vessel with the liquid transfer opening of each other vessel. Thus a balance liquid transfer path extends from an inside to an outside of one vessel, then from the outside to the inside of each other vessel through the liquid balance line, enabling a liquid level in the one vessel to remain approximately equal to a liquid level in each other vessel.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2019Publication date: December 12, 2019Applicant: MOSAIC TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT PTY LTDInventors: Paul Anthony WHITEMAN, Derek Shane FEKETE

Patent number: 10132447Abstract: A pressure vessel refueling system enables consistent mass flow rates and reduces the in-tank temperature rise caused by the heat of compression as gas is added to a vessel. The system includes a pressure vessel having a first gas inlet/outlet port and an interior cavity, and a nozzle is in fluid communication with the first gas inlet/outlet port. The nozzle and the pressure vessel are thermally coupled such that Joule-Thomson expansion of a gas flowing through the nozzle cools the interior cavity and contents of the pressure vessel.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2013Date of Patent: November 20, 2018Assignee: MOSAIC TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT PTY LTDInventors: Paul Anthony Whiteman, Derek Shane Fekete

Patent number: 7676196Abstract: A telecommunications system provides service to a cellular device located within a radio-frequency (RF) shadow of a communication station. The system may include a line-of-sight (LOS) antenna located in a line of sight of the station and a shadow antenna in communication with the LOS antenna and located within a line of sight of the RF shadow. The LOS antenna receives a transmitter signal from the station, and the shadow antenna receives a cellular signal from the cellular device. The LOS antenna also receives the cellular signal from the shadow antenna and, in turn, transmits the cellular signal to the station. Similarly, the shadow antenna receives the transmitter signal from the LOS antenna and, in turn, transmits the transmitter signal to the RF shadow. Accordingly, the cellular device is able to receive the transmitter signal T, and the station is able to receive the cellular signal.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2003Date of Patent: March 9, 2010Assignee: Mosaic Technology Group CorporationInventors: Alexander C.

Patent number: 6330547Abstract: A method and apparatus for deciding whether to make a loan using an intangible asset, such as intellectual property, as collateral and for making such a loan more attractive to a lender. The method requires that an assessment of the transferability and viability of the asset be made to determine if the asset and loan applicant meet minimum qualifying criteria. If they do, a more detailed analysis is undertaken in which judgments are reached concerning various factors related to historical, comparative and prospective market behavior in market sectors identical with, as well as parallel and corollary to the primary market sector for the asset sought to be used as loan collateral. The analysis leads to calculation of an asset liquidation value and production of a correlated depreciation schedule which are both presented to the prospective lender.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 1999Date of Patent: December 11, 2001Assignee: Mosaic Technologies Inc.Inventor: David E.
