  • Publication number: 20200179823
    Abstract: A mixing apparatus and method of mixing additives are described herein. The mixing apparatus comprises a mixing conduit having a wall, a first end, and a second end opposite the first end. A fluid inlet is formed in the wall between the first end and the second end. A fluid outlet is also formed in the wall between the first end and the second end. An injection conduit fluidly connects the fluid inlet with the fluid outlet. A pump is disposed to pump fluid in the injection conduit. An additive conduit is fluidly coupled to the injection conduit.

  • Patent number: 10670519
    Abstract: A system of spectroscopic devices deployed amongst the fluid infrastructure of hydrocarbon fluids are described herein. The devices provide early visibility into the characteristics of those fluids which inform and educate downstream parties of the potential value of the fluid, or the opportunity to reblend or redirect the fluid to optimize the formulization. By allowing downstream parties to determine the quality and quantity of refined products at an early stage, they are better able to determine the true value of the fluid. The data from the distributed network of spectroscopic analyzers provides valuation information that can be used to make more informed purchasing decisions or allow processors to create blends that optimize the efficiency of refining operations.

  • Patent number: 10647321
    Abstract: A transmission includes an input shaft coupled to a prime mover, a countershaft, main shaft, and an output shaft, with gears between the countershaft and the main shaft. A shift actuator selectively couples the input shaft to the main shaft by rotatably coupling gears between the countershaft and the main shaft. The shift actuator is mounted on an exterior wall of a housing including the countershaft and the main shaft. An integrated actuator housing includes a single external power access for the shift actuator. A controller interprets a shaft displacement angle, determines if the transmission is in an imminent zero or zero torque region, and performs a transmission operation in response to the transmission in the imminent zero or zero torque region.

  • Publication number: 20200141873
    Abstract: Various techniques for characterizing a target within a sample are described. An example method includes applying, to the sample, a recognition construct that includes a metal and a scaffold, wherein the scaffold is configured to bind to the target. Energy can be applied to the sample, wherein the applied energy is sufficient to transform at least some of the sample into a plasma. Electromagnetic radiation emitted by the plasma can be detected to provide an optical-spectrum signal of the sample.
