  • Publication number: 20050267673
    Abstract: A fuel management server creates a primary transaction record for a primary fueling agent assigned to a fueling transaction and a secondary transaction record for each secondary fueling agent assigned to the fueling transaction. Each fueling agent interacts with a fueling agent client device to collect fueling transaction data to be stored in the transaction records. Certain transaction data collected by the secondary fueling agent is shared with the primary fueling agent. The primary transaction record stores final fuel load data indicating the amount of fuel dispensed from a primary fueling vehicle and an aggregate amount of fuel dispensed during the fueling transaction. The secondary transaction record stores final fuel load data indicating the amount of fuel dispensed from a secondary fueling vehicle during the fueling transaction. Selected portions of the primary transaction record and the secondary transaction record may be accessed for purposes of reporting and presentation.

  • Patent number: 5093975
    Abstract: A side trimmer made from hardened steel has an inner diameter with a keyway, an outer diameter, and two faces. A recess is machined in the faces to a radius greater than the keyway root. The recesses enable the faces to be hard faced with a ceramic tool without the tool being destroyed by interrupted cuts at the keyway. At least one face is formed with an annular groove that separates the faces into inner and outer faces. The outer face cooperates with the outer face of a second side trimmer to form a nip that trims a moving coil. When the outer faces have worn, they are resharpened by hard turning with a ceramic tool.
