Abstract: This invention is a sensor probe, generally used in the oil fracking business, and includes structurally a pair of tube members, concentrically assembled, an inner housing tube, and an outer spout tube, affixed to a cap and adaptor, with the inner housing holding one or more sensors, to detect the level of fuel within the fuel tank of the fracking truck. The adaptor has a first aperture for attachment of the fuel line, for delivery of fuel in the space between the tube members, and the adaptor has a second aperture for connection of an electrical receptacle, for attachment with the electric lines leading from the various sensors, to the adaptor, for connection with a circuit line from a remote monitor.

Abstract: This application relates to a system for disassembling a portable electronic device. The portable electronic device can include a housing that carries a display assembly including a cover glass in a front opening, a battery, and operational components. The system can include (i) a first module capable of: receiving the portable electronic device, characterizing physical attributes of the portable electronic device, separating the display assembly from the housing, and binning the housing; and (ii) a second module operably coupled to the first module and capable of: receiving the binned housing, separating the battery from the housing without damaging the battery, and isolating the separated battery in a thermal event containment compartment.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, a method is described that can include based on dimensions of a first housing of a first portable electronic device, adjusting a position of an adjustable supporting member capable of supporting the first housing relative to a disassembly station. The method can further include using the disassembly station, separating a first display from the first housing while the first housing is supported by the adjustable support member. The method can further include receiving a second portable electronic device, where the second portable electronic device includes a second housing having dimensions that are different than the first housing. The method can further include based on the dimensions of the second housing, adjusting the position of the adjustable supporting member. The method can further include using the disassembly station, separating a second display from the second housing while the second housing is supported by the adjustable support member.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, a method operable by an electronic component recovery system for detaching an electronic component adhesively bonded to a housing by way of an adhesive bond, is described. The electronic component is carried within a cavity defined by the housing of a portable electronic device. The method can include while the housing having the electronic component attached thereto is located at an electronic component detaching module, where the electronic component detaching module includes a movable arm capable of rotating about a hinge: cooling the housing and the electronic component attached thereto to a temperature that is low enough to weaken the adhesive bond, and causing the movable arm to rotate about the hinge such that a portion of the housing strikes a detachment element with sufficient force to separate the electronic component from the housing.

Abstract: This application relates to a method for disassembling a portable electronic device. The method can include generating data associated with disassembling the portable electronic device based on measurements of a housing of the portable electronic device, removing a display assembly from the housing using a first module of a modular system based on the measurements of the housing, and removing an energy storage component from the housing using a second module of the modular system based on the measurements of the housing.

Abstract: A co-fueling nozzle incorporating dual spouts, having a nozzle housing, a pair of fuel flow paths provided through the housing, a separate poppet and automatic shut off valve operatively associated with each flow path, such that when fuel or additive flows through the various flow paths, it is dispensed out of separate nozzle spouts, when fuel dispensing is initiated. A single actuating lever operates to open or close the poppet valves of the nozzle, and the actuating lever connects with a pair of independent actuators, that engage with their respective poppet valves and automatic shut off valves, to provide for simultaneous or independent opening and closing of the poppet valves, to allow for simultaneous or separate flow of fuel or additives through the nozzle for co-fueling of a vehicle fuel tank or tanks.

Abstract: Modularized components assembled dispensing nozzle, including operating components in the category of a poppet valve assembly, an automatic shutoff device, a hand operating lever for providing a turn on or shutoff of the dispensing of fluid through the nozzle, and a connected spout that delivers fluid to the fill pipe and fuel tank for a vehicle or fluid accepting container. Each of the identified components having been redesigned for assembly in modularized form, such as a modular cartridge for the poppet valve, a modular cartridge for the automatic shutoff device, a modularized operating hand lever, and a spout and its gland and retaining nut that provide for high speed interconnection with the nozzle body, during assembly, or servicing. Each of these modularized components can be installed, during assembly of the manufactured nozzle, or can be replaced, out in the field, by a service person, as a modularized component or cartridge assembly.
