  • Patent number: 10760377
    Abstract: Systems and methods for pressure testing of production tubing in an oil or gas well utilizing a valve having a first and second cylindrical body arranged for axial movement within a cylindrical housing. Movement within the cylindrical housing is regulated by introduction of hydraulic fluid into a cavity in the cylindrical housing and a spring. Systems and methods may further include the use of configuring the cylindrical bodies for sealing engagement with one another caused by movement of the cylindrical bodies within the cylindrical housing.

  • Publication number: 20150001284
    Abstract: A laundry basket which includes a main body and a chute that extends from, and away from, the main body. The main body has an enclosing side portion and an end portion, the enclosing side portion and end portion cooperating to form an enclosure having an open end and a closed end defined by the end portion. The main body is totally enclosed by the enclosing side portion except for a slit in the enclosing side portion that extends from the open end towards the closed end of the main body.

  • Patent number: 5195064
    Abstract: A timekeeping system for providing selected ones of a plurality of audio signal portions, obtained from stored audio information, to be synchronized with selected time events even though the audio signal portions are of durations differing from one another. A rotator, operating with independent rotation timing, can be synchronized to the timing generator output signal by at least temporarily removing power from the rotator before the rotation period thereof drifts by more than a selected fraction of the period of the timing generator output signal. Further, the rotator rotation period for the angular rotation of the output structure can be effectively increased by selectively removing power from the rotator.
