  • Publication number: 20160292650
    Abstract: A system is provided that enables users to manage workforce schedules and logistics. A block-level system interface may be provided on a personal interface device of a user in electronic communication with other users through a communication network which allows users to schedule events according to scheduling availability and resources based upon user input, data restrictions and filters synchronized with a calendar database. A unique service event hopper enables users to view and select available work events matched with the user's input attributes. The visual interface allows for dragging and dropping of work events, for resource allocation and constraints, enabling prevention of the scheduling of events that conflict with availability and capabilities of users.

  • Patent number: 7591487
    Abstract: An apparatus for draining reservoirs includes a pump disposed in contact with a lower surface of the vessel to be drained, wherein the pump is connected to a discharge pipe inserted into the vessel through an insertion tube connected to a retrofit assembly of the vessel. The apparatus also includes seals within the insertion tube and within the discharge pipe to prevent gases from within the vessel from passing through the insertion tube and discharge pipe and into the atmosphere. An expansion joint unit attaches to the discharge pipe to prevent the rotation of the pump relative to the discharge pipe. The expansion joint unit also maintains the pump in substantial contact with the lower surface of the vessel even when thermal expansion causes the vessel to expand and the position of the discharge pipe to lift.
