Abstract: This invention is a hydraulic operated pipe pincher. It has a head segment having two hydraulic jacks linked with said head section, a sliding die head housing with said jacks connected to said sliding die head and a foot segment having a die linked with said foot segment. A boat is located on the surface of the water above where the pipe is to be pinched is located. The pipe pincher would be lowered and positioned around the pipe by way of a manipulator arm on a deep water submarine. The sliding die head would then be forced down against the pipe to pinch the pipe closed to restrict or nearly stop the flow of oil within the pipe. The dies are shaped to compress the pipe from each side equally.

Abstract: The invention relates to the hydraulic actuation and variable timed engine poppet valves. A conventional hydraulic pump pressurizes a rotor vane distributor, wherein hydraulic lines are appropriately timed and linked with a shuttle release valve which is linked with a hydraulic actuator/lifter apparatus. In one position the shuttle valve directs the fluid to the actuator; and a second position, wherein the fluid is dumped to a return line during the poppet valve return. The distributor is timed and driven from the engine power shaft and comprises a plurality of movable counter weights that advances the rotation of the distributor rotor as engine speed or R.P.M. increases. The system also relates to the hydraulic actuation and variable timed engine fuel injectors.

Abstract: The invention is directed towards adjusting the combustion ratio of an internal combustion engine. The apparatus has a compensator piston which is selectively hydraulically positioned. The piston is linked to a shock adsorber so as to keep the combustion chamber charge from reaching the pressure detonation limit.

Abstract: Due to the present energy problems there is a need for a more efficient internal combustion engine. Herein is disclosed a means of making the engine more efficient through use of a flywheel apparatus. The flywheel provides a means of allowing the crankshaft of the engine to be rapidly advanced to that of the flywheel on the power strokes which will transfer the heat produced to rotatable power before the heat can be lost into the engine block. The flywheel further comprises the means of rapidly retarding the crankshaft on the compression strokes so that in the high speed cycle its speed would equal 5000 RPM, while the slow cycle is 1000 RPM, with the total RPM being 3000 RPM or midway between the slow and high speed cycles. A cam connected to a flywheel shaft drives cam action rods housed within the flywheel housing outward against nitrogen charged bladders on the power strokes building up potential energy within the bladder and is used to slow the rotational motion on non power strokes of the engine.

Abstract: A means of packaging drugs and the like is described comprising a container, having two compartments, one of which is to leave evidence that the container has been previously opened by attaching a plunger to link up with the lower compartment by way of a tip being inserted into the lower compartment and when the cap is removed, said tip will be separated for the plunger releasing a dye along with the tip to remain in said lower compartment, making it necessary to destroy the lower compartment to remove said tip or dye that said drugs and the like can be stored in the upper compartment, making a sure and visible way for packaging, making it known to the consumer should the container have been previously opened.

Abstract: A remote manipulator arm for positioning and operating tube sheet repair tools within a nuclear generator shell. The arm includes a number of arm segments linked serially, each having a remotely-controlled motor to pivot an elbow in the arm segment by way of gears. A mounting bracket passes through a manhole in the generator shell and provides a stable point of connection for the arm, both inside and outside the shell, as well as connections for power and control signals to the arm. A workhead is provided for mounting on the arm end opposite the bracket, and can carry a plurality of tools to conduct repair operations on tubes. The mounting bracket can be installed from without the shell and does not block the manhole, and the arm is self-installing, requiring no human presence within the generator shell.
