  • Publication number: 20040258799
    Abstract: A machine for injecting liquids. An air booster pump is adapted to receive injectate. The air booster pump is in fluid communication with one or more heads having apertures for nozzles. A hollow tube is preferably, but not necessarily, located within each head and is in fluid communication with the air booster pump. Injectate flows from the air booster pump into the head, preferably through the apertures in the wall of the hollow tube. Preferably, but not necessarily, the head is designed so that upon installation one point of the inside of the head will be at the highest elevation. Near such point the head has an escape aperture so that any gas within the injectate that enters the head will tend to flow to and through such escape aperture. Furthermore, a return line preferably, but not necessarily, takes injectate that flows through the escape aperture to the low-pressure side of the air booster pump.

  • Publication number: 20020088134
    Abstract: A measurement device for locating positions and creating layouts on a surface. An upper section is rotatably attached to a base. The upper section has a first releasable fastener to hold an end of a measuring tape. The releasable fastener lies at a known distance along a radius from the point of rotation for the upper section. Optional second and third fasteners on the upper section permit the end of a measuring tape having a reel to be placed in second and third fasteners; the other end of the measuring tape runs through the first releasable fastener. Attached to the base is a device which indicates on a surface upon which a measurement is to be made the projection of the point of rotation of the upper section. The base can be fastened either to the surface or to a tripod, in case the surface is not level. For accommodating less pronounced variations in the surface, an extension tube is inserted on the base rotatably to hold the upper section.
