Portable verification system and method for use in verifying a gas pipeline flow meter when in field
Patent number: 11112295Abstract: Embodiments of a portable verification system can move from one in-field gas flow meter location to another and temporarily connect downstream of a main pipeline's meter run or station. A control valve of the portable verification system allows volume measurement at different flow velocities to be verified. In some embodiments, the portable verification system is connected to the meter run and the main pipeline by an adjustable pipeline section. This section can extend horizontally and vertically, as well as swivel to provide versatility when connecting in the field. Adaptor fittings having one flange sized for and fitted to the inlet and outlet ends of the portable verification system and another flange sized for the meter run or main pipeline connection provide additional versatility. Downtime is limited to the time required to complete a circuit between the meter run, portable verification system, and main pipeline.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2019Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignee: Big Elk Energy Systems, LLCInventor: Dennis McClintock -

Patent number: 11110247Abstract: A breathing circuit system for delivering gas from a fresh source to a user through a face mask. The system includes a cylindrical housing and a resiliently-biased valve supported substantially centrally within the housing. In the default or “off” position, the resilient bias causes the valve to be seated on a valve seat shutting off axial flow of gas through the valve housing. When the patient or user breathes, negative pressure is applied to one side of the valve effective to sufficiently overcome the resilient bias imposed on the valve to move the valve off the valve seat axially (or otherwise open in another direction) within the housing, thereby allowing flow of gas through both the valve seat and the valve housing, and into the breathing circuit connected thereto. When the patient's breathing pauses and begins to exhale, the valve bias returns the valve to its default or off condition shutting off flow of gas through the valve.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2018Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignee: Sedation Systems, LLCInventor: Ramses Nashed
