Patent number: 11920092Abstract: The present invention is related to the use of ethylene alkanoate-alkyl acrylate bipolymers with a high randomness monomers distribution, which are synthesized by semicontinuous emulsion polymerization process, characterized because it is carried out using slow addition rate of the pre-emulsion feeding ({dot over (q)}?0.009 kgL·L?1·min?1), stabilized this last one by alkyl glycol ether type surfactants, at temperatures higher than 75° C. and with solids contents above 25 wt %, which avoids the formation of large sequences (blocks) of a same monomer. This structural characteristic gives the ethylene alkanoate-alkyl acrylate bipolymers a high efficiency as chemical agents for removal of complex water/crude oil emulsions of crude oil blends.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2023Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: INSTITUTO MEXICANO DEL PETROLEOInventors: Cesar Andres Flores Sandoval, Flavio Salvador Vazquez Moreno, Fernando Alvarez Ramirez, Gerardo Zavala Olivares, Erika Gomez Buendia, Enrique Cevada Maya, Jessica Valeria Fuentes Santiago, Edgar Benedicto Zamora Guerrero, Citlally Janinne Vargas Martinez

Patent number: 11702126Abstract: A compact power steering system is suitable for small vehicles. A torque sensor on a steering shaft detects operator intention to turn. In response, a motor provides torque to assistance in rotating the steering shaft. A strain wave gear set multiplies the motor torque. A coupler having a torsional isolator links the gearbox output to the steering shaft.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2020Date of Patent: July 18, 2023Assignee: Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co.

Patent number: 11635071Abstract: A pumping system for fracking fluid is designed to provide nearly constant flow rate. The pumping system includes a set of linear actuator pumping units, each driven by at least one electric motor. Each pumping unit includes a hollow threaded shaft driven by the linear actuator, two hollow cylinders fixed to an interior of the hollow shaft, and hollow pistons in each of the hollow cylinders. The hollow cylinders and hollow pistons form two pumping chambers. A first pumping chamber expels fluid when the linear actuator is moving in a first direction and a second pumping chamber that expels fluid when the linear actuator is moving in an opposite direction. The speeds of the actuators are coordinated such that a total flow rate of the pumping system is substantially constant.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2021Date of Patent: April 25, 2023Assignee: Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co.

Patent number: 11396868Abstract: A pumping system utilizes a linear actuator to move a shaft attached to two pistons within cylinders to pump a working fluid. A housing is designed with coolant passageways and one-way valves such that movement of the shaft also pumps coolant past cooling fins and over a motor. The shaft is formed of several sections joined by couplers which slide within a bore of the housing. The couplers have a non-round shape and the bore has a complimentary non-round cross section such that rotation of the shaft is prevented.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2020Date of Patent: July 26, 2022Assignee: Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co.
