  • Patent number: 11912545
    Abstract: A wireless hoist system including a first hoist device having a first motor and a first wireless transceiver and a second hoist device having a second motor and a second wireless transceiver. The wireless hoist system includes a controller in wireless communication with the first wireless transceiver and the second wireless. The controller is configured to receive a user input and determine a first operation parameter and a second operation parameter based on the user input. The controller is also configured to provide, wirelessly, a first control signal indicative of the first operation parameter to the first hoist device and provide, wirelessly, a second control signal indicative of the second operation parameter to the second hoist device. The first hoist device operates based on the first control signal and the second hoist device operates based on the second control signal.

  • Publication number: 20230091233
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to processes, apparatuses, and systems for the removal of sulfur compounds from a heavy hydrocarbon feed as part of steam cracking processes to produce light olefins. In at least one embodiment, the process includes introducing a hydrocarbon feed having a first sulfur content to a steam cracker to produce a steam cracker effluent having a second sulfur content less than the first sulfur content. The process includes introducing the steam cracker effluent to a fractionation system to produce a light hydrocarbon product stream having a third sulfur content less than the second sulfur content.

  • Patent number: 5881506
    Abstract: An anchor (100) for anchoring a structure to the ground includes a cylindrical section (102), an anchor shank (104), and an anchor body (106). The cylindrical section has a driving surface (108) and a hole (112) and is connected to the anchor shank (104) at an attachment point (110). The anchor shank (104) has a connection feature (114) and a pivot slot (122), wherein the anchor body (106) is pivotally coupled to the anchor shank (104) at the pivot slot (122). The anchor body (106) has an angled portion (126) for engaging the ground when the anchor is set and a leading edge (128). The anchor (100) has a pre-set state in which the anchor body (106) is parallel with the anchor shank (104) and a set state in which the anchor body (106) is no longer parallel with the anchor shank (104).
