Publication number: 20230175658Abstract: Improvements a portable elevated lighting system that uses LED lighting elements for illumination. The LED lights are selected based upon the light transmission angle so the fewest number of lighting elements are needed to provide an even flood or focus of light from the system. A reflector works as a heat sink to remove heat from the LED lights and extend the operation life of the LED's. Thermal paste and or a thermal pad is used between the LED lighting element and the frame to conduct sufficient heat away from the LED element. Two versions are shown as a stadium light and as a circular flood light that provides lighting without shadows or bright areas. The system can be operated from a generator or solar for charging batteries so the lighting can operate self-contained without producing noise.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2023Publication date: June 8, 2023Inventor: Jack Roberts

Patent number: 11603931Abstract: A high temperature secondary seal between a rotating seal face adaptor sleeve and a rotating shaft does not consume additional axial space beyond the axial space occupied by the secondary seal. The seal includes a single ring drive collar comprising a plurality of radial directed bolts in tapped holes. As the bolts are tightened they enter a cylindrical cavity in the drive collar and impact therein a sloped surface of a crush ring. The vertical force thereby applied to the crush ring displaces the crush ring axially into a secondary graphite sealing element, thereby crushing the secondary sealing element against the adaptor sleeve and shaft, and forming a seal there between. The crush ring sloped surface can terminate in a vertical face, so that upon sufficient displacement of the crush ring the bolts abut the vertical face and impact the shaft, fixing the drive collar to the shaft.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2019Date of Patent: March 14, 2023Assignee: Flowserve Management CompanyInventors: Glenn Robert Owens, Jr., Jack Robert Vasko

Patent number: 11123657Abstract: An in-line grease interceptor assembly adapted to separate fat, oil, and grease (FOG) out from wastewater mixed with FOG. The assembly has an inlet for receiving wastewater mixed with FOG, an outlet for discharging wastewater after at least some FOG has been separated out from the wastewater, and a chamber hydraulically located between the inlet and the outlet. The chamber has lateral sides, a floor, and an open top, and is adapted to maintain the mixed wastewater in the chamber at a predetermined liquid level located below the open top while accumulating the separated FOG in a layer above the predetermined liquid level. An auxiliary baffle is positioned inside the chamber, extending from a downstream end toward an upstream end of the chamber, between the floor and the open top. The auxiliary baffle has a downstream end, an upstream end, and lateral sides, and defines a first separation section above the auxiliary baffle, and a second separation section below the auxiliary baffle.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2020Date of Patent: September 21, 2021Inventors: Jack Robert Meher, James Brian Mantyla, Rachel Catherine Elaine Beaulieu
