  • Patent number: 11810058
    Abstract: A method and system for managing carrier vessel information are provided. A carrier path and shipment planning system receives carrier information associated with individual carrier vessels from a plurality of carrier information sources. Based on the carrier information the carrier path and shipment planning system processes the carrier information to form complete path scenarios. The carrier path and shipment planning system associates control rules to the complete path scenarios to determine one or more candidate paths. The carrier path and shipment planning system can then generate various interfaces for identifying selected, ranked paths, information associated with a competitive marketplace and availability information for contracting for cargo shipment. A user can then further manipulate the user interfaces for scenario planning or filtering available selections.

  • Patent number: 10792582
    Abstract: A system of generating steam from an emulsion stream produced from a reservoir via thermal recovery has a heat exchanger for adjusting the emulsion to a first temperature; at least one separation device for separating water from the emulsion at the first temperature to obtain produced water; an optional produced-water preheater, and a high-pressure evaporator for receiving the produced water and generating steam using the produced water. The evaporator has a vapor drum; a heating element receiving the water stream, and in fluid communication with the vapor drum via a pressure letdown device; a heating source for imparting sensible heat to the water stream for generating steam. The evaporator also includes a recirculation pump for circulation of blowdown concentrate, and a bubble generator for generating bubbles and injecting generated bubbles into the heating element to enable self-removal of scales and other solid deposits in the evaporator.

  • Patent number: 4975584
    Abstract: A system for public display of ultraviolet radiation levels wherein said radiation is collected and measured by one or several optical collectors or sensor assemblies at remote sensing stations. Optical fibers receive and then convey the radiation of the sun through a filter and onto a photovoltaic sensor, measuring the intensity of the ultraviolet radiation. An electrical signal proportional to the ultraviolet radiation is produced with the signal being amplified and either used directly as analog data or converted to a digital signal for the modulation of a radio transceiver. The signal is transmitted to a transceiver of a central data processing station, where it is processed. The processed signal is retransmitted to a receiver in which the processed signal carrier is demodulated and the signal fed to a display station providing the level of exposure to the public.
