Publication number: 20210016544Abstract: A prefabricated modified bitumen waterproofing membrane includes a middle layer formed of a non-woven polyester and/or fiberglass reinforcement fabric, an upper layer and a bottom layer of bitumen asphalt modified with SBS (Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene), APP (Atactic Polypropylene) or TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) polymers, aluminum flakes on a top surface of the upper layer, and polyolefin film covering the bottom layer. In a preferred embodiment, the aluminum flakes having a size ranging between 0.508 mm to 2.032 mm in length, 0.508 mm to 1.016 mm in width and 0.02 mm to 0.03 mm in thickness. The top surface, with aluminum flakes applied thereto, has a Solar Reflective Index (SRI) equal to or greater than 73, a reflectance of at least 0.72 and a thermal emittance of at least 0.18.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2020Publication date: January 21, 2021Inventors: Jorge Augusto Robles-Ramos, Jorge Robles-Glenn

Publication number: 20190112814Abstract: A prefabricated modified bitumen waterproofing membrane includes a middle layer formed of a non-woven polyester and/or fiberglass reinforcement fabric, an upper layer and a bottom layer of modified bitumen asphalt, aluminum flakes on a top surface of the upper layer, and polyolefin film covering the bottom layer. A process for manufacturing the prefabricated modified bitumen waterproofing membrane includes modifying the asphalt with SBS (Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene), APP (Attic Polypropylene) or TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) polymers, saturating the top and bottom sides of the middle layer of reinforcement fabric with the modified asphalt, applying the aluminum flakes to the top surface, and applying a polyethylene film to the bottom surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2017Publication date: April 18, 2019Inventors: Jorge Augusto Robles-Ramos, Jorge Robles-Glenn

Patent number: 8955650Abstract: A brake actuator has a motor that provides input rotation in first and second directions. A reducer couples to the motor and reduces the input rotation into an output rotation to be applied to a brake screw of a progressive cavity pump drive. A sensor measures rotational speed of the drive shaft. In manual operation, an operator can view an indication of the rotational speed and can manually operate the motor accordingly to control rotation of the shaft. In automated operation, a controller automatically controls the motor based on the rotational speed measured by the sensor. The controller can also use a torque sensor to detect the torque applied to the brake screw, a displacement sensor to detect displacement of the brake screw, and/or a current sensor to detect the current consumption of the motor.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2013Date of Patent: February 17, 2015Assignee: Weatherford Industria E Comercio LtdaInventors: Jorge Robles Villa, Eduardo Perdomini Lara

Patent number: 8662186Abstract: A backspin retarder for a progressive cavity pump deploys on the drive string uphole from a pump unit. The backspin retarder has a shaft that connects to portions of the drive string. An impeller disposes on the shaft and can move axially and radially. In an unengaged condition, the impeller and shaft can rotate relative to one another so the drive string can rotate in a drive direction without impediment from the impeller. In an engaged condition, the impeller rotates with the shaft in a backspin direction. In this way, vanes on the impeller can retard the backspin of the shaft and drive string by attempting to force the lifted fluid column flowing downhole past the impeller back uphole. The retarder can use a pin and slot arrangement or an arrangement of engageable teeth to engage the impeller to the rotation of the shaft.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2011Date of Patent: March 4, 2014Assignee: Weatherford/Lamb, Inc.Inventor: Jorge Robles

Publication number: 20090148342Abstract: This invention generally relates to compositions and method of producing diluted hypohalous acid and hypohalous acid vapor. These compositions can be used to treat allergen containing surfaces, hard surfaces, food contact surfaces, hospital surfaces, food surfaces, kitchen surfaces, bathroom surfaces, human surfaces, animal surfaces, children's items, outdoor surfaces, soft surfaces, and medical instruments. These compositions can be converted to solid particulate or granular compositions. These compositions can be put into a variety of containers which preserve the stability. These compositions can be used to treat allergens and molds and as part of a mold detection system. These compositions can be dispersed into the air to enable microbiological control.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 29, 2007Publication date: June 11, 2009Inventors: Steven E. Bromberg, Bruce K.
