  • Patent number: 12075247
    Abstract: A method for determining conflicts in updates of a hydrocarbon control system includes obtaining a first configuration and a second configuration from different locations in the hydrocarbon control system. The method also includes comparing the first configuration and the second configuration to determine if differences are detected. If differences are detected, the method includes operating a display to notify a user that differences are detected, using conflict resolution techniques to automatically determine a resolved configuration, and updating a configuration of the hydrocarbon control system with the resolved configuration. If no differences are detected, the method includes operating the display to notify the user that no differences are detected and updating the configuration of the hydrocarbon control system with the first configuration or the second configuration.

  • Patent number: 12070649
    Abstract: An adjustable dumbbell system may include a base, two or more weights, a handle assembly, an additional weight, and selection assembly. The two or more weights may be supported by the base and grouped into a first set of weights associated with one end of the dumbbell system and a second set of weights associated with an opposing end of the dumbbell system. The handle assembly may be selectively fixedly joined to the first and second set of weights. The additional weight may be disposed distally of the handle assembly. The selection assembly may be secured to the additional weight. The selection assembly may include a selection member that may be linearly moveable between a selected position where the additional weight is operatively secured to the handle assembly and an unselected position where the additional weight is disengaged from the handle assembly.

  • Patent number: 4347090
    Abstract: A laminated tubular structure is obtained by a process in which a fabric sleeve is applied about a tube of thermoplastic polymer, following which plugs are inserted into the opposing ends of the liner. A liquid, such as water, is then introduced to the liner, and the liner is rotated about a horizontal axis while heat is applied to the exterior surface of the liner, causing the surface to become molten. The heat also causes vaporization of some of the liquid in the liner and the resulting vapor pressure causes the molten surface of the liner to expand radially into the interstices of the fabric sleeve. The inner surface of the liner remains solid and form-maintaining by reason of the liquid within the liner and heat absorbed on vaporization of liquid. Upon cooling there is obtained a good mechanical bond between the liner and sleeve.

  • Patent number: 4258089
    Abstract: Surfaces of thermally conductive substrates are covered with thermoplastic polymers, particularly certain fluorocarbon polymers by bonding said polymeric materials directly to surfaces of said substrates. Adhesives, etchants, or the like are not used as bonding elements. The process involves treating the surfaces to make them wettable by water and then cleaning the surfaces, if necessary, followed by heating the substrate to a temperature at which the polymer melts, gels or softens (herein called the softening point), then placing the polymeric material into contact with the prepared surfaces and applying pressure on the polymeric material to force it into fusing and bonding contact with the heated surface and then cooling the substrate to a temperature below the softening point of the polymer. The products produced are preferably rolls. In their covered form as produced by this invention they are useful as processing rolls in office copier's fusing systems, rolls used in food cooking processes, and the like.

  • Patent number: 3953742
    Abstract: A cathodic protection system monitor is coupled to an impressed current cathodic protection circuit used for corrosion protection of a submerged marine drive. The cathodic protection circuit includes one or more anodes and a reference electrode mounted below the water line and connected to an automatic controller for supplying an anode current which is regulated in order to maintain a predetermined reference potential on the protected structure. A switch selectively connects a light emitting diode (LED) lamp or other light source between the controller output and ground so that the controller current may, when tested, be used to operate the light source in order to confirm that power is available to the anode.
