Patent number: 10458087Abstract: The installation of one or more prefabricated drains beneath the surface of sediment in a sediment pond utilizing suction or a vacuum to withdraw water from the sediment material to lower the water level down to the level of the prefabricated drains below the pond surface. Dewatering may be coupled with imparting vibrations to the material to further promote both additional dewatering and compaction of the sediment material in the pond. A suitably graded bottom ash, fly ash, sand or large-diameter-solid particle or sediment layer may be added on top of the horizontal drains to enhance dewatering of finer sediment material.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2018Date of Patent: October 29, 2019Assignee: AECOM Technical Services, Inc.Inventors: Steven Kosler, David Seeger, George Richard Bird

Patent number: 10144892Abstract: The installation of prefabricated drains in a horizontal, generally co-planar pattern below the surface of the CCR with suction or a vacuum to withdraw water from the CCR material to lower the water level down to the level of the prefabricated drains below the CCR surface. Dewatering may be coupled with imparting vibrations to the material to further promote both additional dewatering and compaction of the CCR material in the pond. A suitably graded bottom ash, fly ash, sand or large-diameter-solid particle layer may be added on top of the horizontal drains to enhance dewatering of finer CCR material.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2017Date of Patent: December 4, 2018Assignee: AECOM Technical Services, Inc.Inventors: Steven Kosler, David Seeger, George Richard Bird

Publication number: 20180112367Abstract: A device for installing horizontal drains in a coal combustion residual or other sludge pond consists of a trenching device that extends downwardly to the depth of required installation of the drains and an attachment through which the drains are fed during installation. The trenching device and attachment are mounted onto a carrier for floatation of the required equipment on the surface of a water-filled sludge pond. The carrier can be winched, hauled or driven across the surface of the sludge. A hydraulic system may be used to raise and lower the trenching device and attachment. The trenching device may be equipped with a chain driven blade mechanism or dredging device for the purpose of cutting a trench into the pond sludge, and a vibratory trenching device may be used to effectively liquefy the material to make the trenching device easier to pull or tow through the sludge in the pond.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 14, 2017Publication date: April 26, 2018Applicant: AECOM Technical Services, Inc.Inventors: David Seeger, Steven Kosler, David Martinez-Morett, Michael Fontenot

Publication number: 20070210446Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for integrating microchannel cooling modules within high-density electronic modules (e.g., chip packages, system-on-a-package modules, etc.,) comprising multiple high-performance IC chips. Electronic modules are designed such that high-performance (high power) IC chips are disposed in close proximity to the integrated cooling module (or cooling plate) for effective heat extraction. Moreover, electronic modules which comprise large surface area silicon carriers with multiple chips face mounted thereon are designed such that integrated silicon cooling modules are rigidly bonded to the back surfaces of such chips to increase the structural integrity of the silicon carriers.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2007Publication date: September 13, 2007Inventors: Paul Andry, Evan Colgan, Lawrence Mok, Chirag Patel, David Seeger

Publication number: 20060043002Abstract: Sulfur sought to be removed from deposits formed at a subterranean gas producing well are dissolved in a high boiling point relatively pure and low cost non-aqueous solvent. The dissolved sulfur is then removed from the solvent by lowering the temperature of the solution to precipitate the sulfur which is then separated and recovered as a relatively pure product. After additional processing the regenerated solvent is injected back down the well hole to dissolve additional sulfur and reutilized in successive cycles of the process.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 19, 2005Publication date: March 2, 2006Inventors: Bryan Petrinec, David Seeger

Publication number: 20050156695Abstract: A microelectromechanical switch including: at least one pair of actuator electrodes; at least one input electrode and at least one output electrode for input and output, respectively, of a radio frequency signal; and a beam movable by an attraction between the at least one pair of actuator electrodes, the movable beam having at least a portion electrically connected to the at least one input electrode and to the at least one output electrode when moved by the attraction between the at least one pair of actuator electrodes to make an electrical connection between the at least one input and output electrodes; wherein the at least one pair of actuator electrodes are electrically isolated from each of the at least one input and output electrodes. The microelectromechanical switch can be configured in single or multiple-poles and/or single or multiple throws.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2005Publication date: July 21, 2005Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Panayotis Andricacos, L.

Patent number: 6639488Abstract: Disclosed is a capacitive electrostatic MEMS RF switch comprised of a lower electrode that acts as both a transmission line and as an actuation electrode. Also, there is an array of one or more fixed beams above the lower electrode that is connected to ground. The lower electrode transmits the RF signal when the top beam or beams are up and when the upper beams are actuated and bent down, the transmission line is shunted to ground ending the RF transmission. A high dielectric constant material is used in the capacitive portion of the switch to achieve a high capacitance per unit area thus reducing the required chip area and enhancing the insertion loss characteristics in the non-actuated state. A gap between beam and lower electrode of less than 1 &mgr;m is incorporated in order to minimize the electrostatic potential (pull-in voltage) required to actuate the switch.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2001Date of Patent: October 28, 2003Assignee: IBM CorporationInventors: Hariklia Deligianni, Robert Groves, Christopher Jahnes, Jennifer L.
