  • Patent number: 7040592
    Abstract: A universal fastening system for a pole comprises an adjustable upper bracket and an adjustable lower bracket each having a plurality of mounting holes, allowing the brackets to accommodate poles of varying size. The upper and lower brackets are mounted to one or more planes of a structure and cooperatively engage and support the pole.

  • Patent number: 6204256
    Abstract: A cyclodextrin derivative, wherein at least 60 percent of the free hydroxy groups of said cyclodextrin are acylated with acyl groups where at least one of said acyl groups comprise a free carboxylic group.

  • Patent number: 6145318
    Abstract: Compressor discharge air flows through a heat exchanger in heat exchange relation with cooling water and is supplied at reduced temperature in atomizing air and purge modes to combustors in a dual-fuel gas turbine. The heat exchanger has a pair of bypass passages in parallel with a temperature regulating valve controlling flow of water through the heat exchanger in response to the temperature of the compressor discharge air exiting the heat exchanger. Should the flow control valve close in response to low temperature of the compressor discharge air, in the air atomizing mode, the bypass passages with orifices therein provide a minimum protective flow of cooling water to the heat exchanger. In the purge mode where only half the air flow and heat rejection is required in the heat exchanger and the flow control valve closes, a bypass valve in one of the bypass passages closes to enable reduced flow of cooling water through the heat exchanger.

  • Patent number: 5762130
    Abstract: A down flow, two pass radiator includes a means for selectively venting air displaced during coolant fill from one side of the top tank flow baffle to the other, while the baffle remains fluid tight during normal operation. The uppermost wall of the top tank slopes continually upwardly from the far, low end of the tank to a filler neck at the opposite, high end. A vent inlet through the baffle, near the inner surface of the uppermost wall, may be covered and uncovered by a blocking valve accessible from outside the top tank. The valve is left closed during normal radiator operation, but opened during coolant fill to allow free escape of displaced air across the baffle and out through the open filler neck.
