Publication number: 20240092551Abstract: A polymeric container including a finish defining an opening of the container, a base, and a body. The body is between the finish and the base. The body includes a flexible panel extending entirely around the container A longitudinal axis of the container extends through an axial center of the finish, the base, the body, and the flexible panel. The flexible panel includes alternating concave portions and vertically extending columns arranged about the flexible panel. In response to a vacuum within the container resulting from filling and capping the container, the concave portions are configured to flex inward towards the longitudinal axis to become more concave, and the vertically extending columns are configured to flex outward away from the longitudinal axis of the container.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2020Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: John SICILIANO, Tyler M. NUNNOLD, Michael T. LANE, James STELZER, Omkar DOLE

Publication number: 20240068494Abstract: The present invention provides a controller for hydraulic apparatus (100). The controller is configured to determine (310) that an energy return criteria has been met by movement of a first movement component of a first hydraulic actuator. In response thereto, the controller is further configured to select (320) at least one among a plurality of energy control strategies based on at least one operational characteristic of the hydraulic apparatus, and to control (330) the hydraulic apparatus to implement the energy control strategy during movement of the first movable component in such a way as to meet the energy return criteria. The plurality of energy control strategies comprises a first energy control strategy and a second energy control strategy. The at least one operational characteristic of the hydraulic apparatus comprises an indication of an expected energy recovery of one or more of the energy control strategies.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2021Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Alexis DOLE, Matthew GREEN, John HUTCHESON, Daniel ABRAHAMS, Niall CALDWELL

Patent number: 9186665Abstract: An apparatus and method for regenerating spent ion exchange resin and recovering regenerant fluid is described. A regeneration system has a regeneration vat, a regeneration solution tank, a regenerant recovery tank, a chemical dispenser, a solids separator, a pH adjuster and a pump. The regeneration vat holds the spent resin and is connected to the regeneration solution tank to allow transfer of regenerant solution into the regeneration vat. Spent regenerant fluid travels to the regenerant recovery tank, where it is treated with chemicals provided from the chemical dispenser. The solids separator receives the treated regenerant liquid and separates precipitate flocs from the treated regenerant liquid. The concentration of chloride ions in the separated regenerant solution can be adjusted by the pH adjuster to form fresh regenerant solution. The pump pumps the fresh regenerant solution to the regenerant solution tank to regenerate additional spent cation exchange resin.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2013Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Assignee: RAYNE DEALERSHIP CORPORATIONInventors: H. Martin Jessen, Eric John Dole, David Morgan

Patent number: 8585906Abstract: An apparatus and method for regenerating spent ion exchange resin is described. In one method, a fresh regenerant solution comprising sodium ions and chloride ions is prepared, and passed across spent cation exchange resin to regenerate the spent resin. To recover the spent regenerant solution, a regenerant treatment composition is added to the spent solution to form precipitate flocs, which are then separated out of the regenerant solution. The concentration of at least one of the sodium or chloride ions in the regenerant solution can also be adjusted to form fresh regenerant solution which can be reused.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2010Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignee: Rayne Dealership CorporationInventors: H.

Patent number: 8273156Abstract: Contaminated water stored in an equalization basin is distributed to one or more flash vessels and a desired vacuum is pulled in a filled flash vessel, reducing the boiling point of the contained contaminated water. The suction force is preferably created by passing the contaminated water under pressure through a differential pressure injector. The contaminated water in the flash vessel completes an electrical circuit between conductive plates and a heating element that are submerged therein. An alternating electrical current is applied, some of which is conducted by the contaminated water to a heating element that heats the water, and the rest of which dissipates as thermal energy, heating the contaminated water. The alternating current is preferably generated by passing the contaminated water under pressure through a hydroelectric power generator. Little thermal energy is needed to evaporate the contaminated water, which condenses at the top of the flash vessel and is collected from a collection trough.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2009Date of Patent: September 25, 2012Inventor: Eric John Dole

Publication number: 20060031223Abstract: A virtual private network 10 system running on a computer server 11 such that a plurality of end users 12 can access the virtual private network over the internet 14. Applications 26 are accessed through a plurality of web page displays 72, 100, 408. A client request 402 causes a page object 406 to be created which page object retrieves a template 44 with placeholders 258. Data is obtained from a database 38 to fill in the placeholders 258, including a virtual operating system 76 type of user interface, wherein folders 78 and files 80 can be treated by each user 12 as though that user has complete control of the virtual operating system 76 while not changing the arrangement and existence of folders 78 and files 80 for other users.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2004Publication date: February 9, 2006Inventor: John Dole
