Abstract: An example machine-gear system that connects to a prime mover in which the prime mover may operate at a first rotational speed and the machine may operate at a different rotational speed. The gear system, of the machine-gear system, may be configured to connect the prime mover and the machine such that the prime mover operates at the first rotational speed and the machine may operate at the different speed. The gear system may be located within the housing of the machine, which may result in a more compact machine-gear system, than for other arrangements. In some examples, the gear system may include two or more stages. In some examples, the multiple stage gear systems may be configured to engage or disengage from one, or more, stages, which may result in a machine-gear system that operates at two or more different rotational speeds as the operational modes change.

Abstract: A system for regulating the speed of a vehicle includes defining a first border for a first geographic region. The border has a first speed within the border and a second speed outside of the border. The system includes determining a first velocity of the vehicle including a vehicle speed and direction of the vehicle approaching the border. The difference between the vehicle speed and the second speed is the calculated, as is a distance between the vehicle and the border. If the difference between the vehicle speed and the second speed divided by the distance is greater than a predetermined value, the vehicle is decelerated at a rate so that the vehicle will have a second speed when the vehicle reaches the border.

Abstract: An injection sleeve and apparatus for injecting fluid into a well includes a flow tube having a piston which upon fluid flow opens one or more outlet ports. The injection sleeve is adapted to include a variable orifice insert which prevents flow through the tool at a first selected pressure level until the outlet ports are in an open position, thereby protecting packing seals on either side of the outlet ports from undue wear and tear, and prolonging the life of the tool. At a second pressure level, the variable orifice insert permits flow through injection sleeve to the formation injection zones. A plurality of the sleeves may be used for sequentially injecting fluid into a plurality of injection formation zones surrounding a well. When injection fluid flow is terminated, the injection sleeves act as a dual barrier valve for preventing flow from the injection formation zones back to the well head.
