  • Patent number: 8171955
    Abstract: A relief vent assembly for a fuel storage tank includes a vent body defining a chamber to provide a substantially axially smooth and unencumbered path of flow for pressurized fluid to vent out from the tank. Such a path of flow allows the pressurized fluid to remain laminar throughout approximately the entire path through the chamber, maintaining a high flow rate. The vent assembly includes a crossbar that supports the rod of a lid that covers a distal margin of the vent body. The crossbar is disposed substantially at the distal margin of the vent body to prevent any premature turbulent flow of the pressurized fluid, which would slow the flow rate. A widening tapered bore of the chamber increases the flow area and serves to offset the area occupied by the crossbar.

  • Patent number: 5826252
    Abstract: A system for managing multiple projects of a similar type has a global project management database for storing data for all participating projects which is dynamically updated with best current data representing best current practices across all participating projects in the system. Localized computer terminals are operated at each local site with a common project management program and data imported from the global project management database. Periodically, the local terminals export data to the global project management database which are evaluated to determine any new best current practices across all participating projects and to update the global project management database with the new best current practices. Upon periodically importing data from the global project management database, each localized computer terminal is updated with the new best current practices across all participating projects.
