Patent number: 9383326Abstract: A technique, including associated method and system, for on-line measurement of a trace element in a crude or heavy fuel stream for a refinery, including in one embodiment: providing at least one x-ray fluorescence (“XRF”) analyzer at a point for the refinery; analyzing the petroleum stream for chlorine using the analyzer; and providing results from the analyzer to refinery operators, to improve refinery operations. The analyzer may be a monochromatic wavelength XRF analyzer, wherein the analyzer focuses energy to/from the stream using an x-ray engine having at least one focusing, monochromating x-ray optic. The analyzer may be an MWDXRF or ME-EDXRF analyzer; and the trace element may be one or more of the following elements: S, Cl, P, K, Ca, V, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Hg, As, Pb, and Se; and in one embodiment the stream is crude, and the trace element is chlorine.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2012Date of Patent: July 5, 2016Assignee: X-RAY OPTICAL SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Albertus Beumer, Zewu Chen

Patent number: 8820818Abstract: A vehicle comprises a chassis and a tilt cab which is mounted to said chassis and is tiltable with respect to the chassis. The vehicle furthermore comprises a tilting system for tilting said tilt cab relative to the chassis between a lowered position and a raised position. The tilting system comprises a reservoir for hydraulic fluid, a pump and at least one double-acting hydraulic tilt cylinder having a push chamber and a pull chamber. The cylinder has a movable piston and piston rod assembly, wherein the piston separates the push chamber and the pull chamber. The cylinder is connected to the chassis and to the cab, such that when hydraulic fluid is supplied to the push chamber the cab moves to the raised position and when hydraulic fluid is supplied to the pull chamber the cab moves to the lowered position.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2011Date of Patent: September 2, 2014Assignee: Actuant CorporationInventor: Jan Albertus Beumer
