Patent number: 8869839Abstract: An device and method for repairing the junction of a main pipe line and a lateral pipe. The device uses a series of independently controlled bladders to adjust the timing and pressure exerted by the bladders on the pipes. The device also uses a liner assembly of resin absorbent material is formed, with a tubular lateral liner connected to a concentric circular main liner. The liner also includes an opening to facilitate loading of the liner in the device. Upon loading the bladders and resin-embedded liner into a train, the device is positioned and the bladders independently inflated, either concurrently or in sequence, installing the liner assembly onto the pipe. Once the resin is cured, the bladder assembly and launcher are removed from the sewer pipe.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2010Date of Patent: October 28, 2014Assignee: Perma-Liner Industries, LLCInventor: Gerald Scott D'Hulster

Patent number: 8590575Abstract: Stretch-resistant liners for lining pipes, pipes lined with stretch-resistant liners, and methods for lining pipes with stretch-resistant liners. The liners are made from a lamination that includes a sealing layer, a strength layer of stretch-resistant woven material that overlies the sealing layer, a support layer of non-woven resin-impregnated material that overlies the strength layer, and a barrier layer that overlies the support layer. The lamination is rolled into a tube and inverted when inserted into a pipe so that the barrier layer is the layer that abuts the interior wall of the pipe, the support layer underlies the barrier layer, the strength layer underlies the support layer and the sealing layer underlies the strength layer is contacted by materials flowing through the pipe.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2009Date of Patent: November 26, 2013Assignee: Perma-Liner Industries, LLCInventor: Gerald Scott D'Hulster

Patent number: 7632336Abstract: A degassing and water removal apparatus is used in combination with the testing or replacement of dielectric oil in an RF transmitter. The apparatus comprises at least one ultrasound transducer in vibrational communication with a bulk oil sample held in a tank having a reduced internal air pressure. The tank has fluid connections to the RF transmitter through which oil from the transmitter is drained to the tank and through which the ambient air pressure in the transmitter is reduced. A fluid pump is used to pump the oil from the tank back to the RF transmitter. In a method of using such an apparatus, the RF transmitter is held at reduced internal pressure during the return of oil thereto, so that the oil does not dissolve gases in the atmosphere internal to the RF transmitter.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2007Date of Patent: December 15, 2009Assignee: DRS Sustainment Systems, Inc.Inventors: Douglas Lee Williams, Jeffrey Stephen Malkmus, Gerald Scott Brown, Samuel Berliner, III

Patent number: 7347247Abstract: A core rod is utilized in the process of forming a core in a metal casting. The core rod has a length and opposite ends. The core rod is generally round in cross-section along at least a portion of the length of the core rod proximate at least one of the ends configured for use in forming the core of the metal casting. The core rod is made from a precipitation-hardenable alloy including about 40.0 to 75.0 wt. % Ni, about 0.0 to 25.0 wt. % Co, about 10.0 to 25.0 wt. % Cr, and about 0.0 to 20.0 wt. % Fe. A method for forming a core within a metal casting includes the steps of providing a precipitation-hardenable alloy core rod having a length and opposite ends; packing sand around at least one end of the core rod to form a sand core with core rod; placing the sand core with core rod into a mold; pouring molten metal into the mold and around the sand core with core rod; and producing a metal casting having a core and a uniform sidewall thickness in a range of +/?0.060 inches.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2007Date of Patent: March 25, 2008Assignee: Hildreth Manufacturing, LLCInventors: Gerald Scott, Gerald Selan, Terry Hildreth

Patent number: 6687849Abstract: Systems and methods for implementing a memory-efficient fault tolerant computing system are provided. A generic backup process may provide fault tolerance to multiple working processes. The backup process need not include a copy of the code segments executed by the working processes, providing very large savings in memory needed to implement the fault tolerant system. Alternatively, multiple backup processes provide fault tolerance but need not include duplicated code segments for the working processes they support.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2000Date of Patent: February 3, 2004Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventor: Gerald Scott Cherf
