  • Publication number: 20200232102
    Abstract: An active cathodic analysis protection system employs local monitors that detect the electromagnetic fields near the transmission line. This yields a set of electromagnetic field (EMF) point readings along the transmission line. From this information a three dimensional (3D) EMF field estimation is determined. EMF field estimation is used in combination with a system geometry model, which includes the transmission line geometry, the geometry of the monitors with respect to the transmission line, and the pipeline geometry.

  • Patent number: 5921163
    Abstract: An improved appliance for slicing food articles, particularly baked goods and bagels in a uniform, quick and safe manner. The appliance includes a food receptacle which is slidably inserted into one end of a main housing and into which a food item such as a bagel is placed. A motorized cutting carriage is mounted on top of the main housing and extends a serrated dual-bladed slicing assembly horizontally over the food item. When power is applied, the blades of the slicing assembly begin reciprocating, and the entire cutting carriage is depressed downward in order to move the reciprocating blades of the slicing assembly through the food item . Once the food item is cut, the cutting carriage returns to its home position, the food receptacle is to slidably withdrawn, and the sliced food item is removed and consumed.
