  • Patent number: 11959700
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to at-shore liquefaction of natural gas. One exemplary aspect includes an apparatus comprising: (i) an air-cooled electric refrigeration module (“AER Module”) configured to input electricity and preprocessed feed gas from a source, convert the preprocessed feed gas into a liquefied natural gas (“LNG”), and output the LNG; and (ii) a plurality of LNG storage tanks configured to input the LNG from the AER Module and output the LNG to an LNG transport vessel. According to this aspect, the AER Module may be on an upper deck of a water-based apparatus, and the plurality of LNG tanks may be in a hull of the apparatus. Numerous additional exemplary aspects of the apparatus and related kits, methods, and systems are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 5601161
    Abstract: A snubber brake assembly is disclosed for use with suspended, swingable bodies such as logging machine grapples. The assembly includes a pair of pivot pins extending normal to one another and each supporting brake elements which can be adjusted and the brake members of which can be replaced and adjusted without removing the pivot pins or the grapple from the mechanism suspending the grapple. The assembly includes a saddle plate that straddles the pivot pin and which can be removed from the pin without disassembling the whole unit. The removal of the saddle plate provides for shifting of the other components on the pivot pin to remove and replace brake members therein.
