Abstract: A fuel delivery system for transferring fuel using pressurized air includes a vehicle having a fuel tank supported by the vehicle, the fuel tank including a volume of fuel and a volume of pressurized air. A compressor supported on the vehicle and in fluid communication with the fuel tank operates to maintain a pressure of the pressurized air by monitoring a pressure of the air within the tank using a pressure sensor. A fuel transfer hose in fluid communication with the interior of the tank transfers the fuel to an item to be refueled using only a force of the pressurized air acting on the fuel when a tank valve of the tank is in the open position.

Abstract: Described is a system and method of verifying documents for users possessing little or no document examination skill or experience. The system and method involve simple, secure, and expeditious means for determining the authenticity of identity or financial documents. In addition, users can submit documents of questionable authenticity to the appropriate authority.

Abstract: A jacketed pipe flange (10) for connection to an end of an inner pipe (12) and to an end of a jacketed outer pipe (14) surrounding the inner pipe includes a central throughport (16) for mating with the inner pipe. The first annular sealing surface (18) surrounds a central throughport for sealing fluid within the inner pipe, a second annular sealing surface (20) surrounds the first sealing surface, and a third annular sealing surface (22) surrounds the second annular sealing surface for sealing fluid in the jacketed outer pipe from the exterior of the flange. An annular gap (24) separates the first and second sealing surfaces, and a test port (26) fluidly connects the annular gap with an exterior port in the flange. A plurality of axially extending throughports (34) in the flange between the second and third sealing surfaces pass fluid through the jacketed outer pipe and the flange to downstream components.

Abstract: A hologram imaging device for obtaining hologram images and associated document markings which are commonly being used for document verification is disclosed. The imaging device comprises a housing defining an imaging chamber, camera, hologram light source, document light source and imaging platform. The hologram light source consists of a series of illumination devices (e.g., LEDs) adjustably mounted in an arc or semicircular arrangement. An LED controller regulates the state of the LEDs by controlling whether each LED is on or off and adjusting the intensity of each LED in an on position. During use, a document is secured within the housing by the imaging platform such that a hologram or other document marking is positioned beneath a camera lens. Then, the LEDs of the hologram light source are regulated by the LED controller such that different images and/or colors of the hologram may be captured by the camera.

Abstract: The pipe shoe 10 includes a generally horizontal base plate 12, 52, a left-side support plate 22, 62, a right-side support plate 24, 64, a curved lower plate 32, 72, and a curved upper plate 34, 84. An attachment mechanism for securing the lower end of the upper plate to the respective support plate includes a bolt which passes through a hole in a lower end of the upper plate and a port in the respective support plate. When the bolt is tightened, the curved upper plate is pulled toward the base plate to place the bolt in both tension and shear. Each support plate is preferably angled with respect to a plane perpendicular to a plane of the base plate and away from the centerline of the pipe.

Abstract: An improved pipe shoe is provided for permanently supporting a length of insulated pipe above a pipe rack of the type used in industrial facilities. The pipe shoe includes a base member for sliding engagement with the pipe rack, a first clamp member including a spacer portion, a first clamp portion, and a through slot. A second clamp member includes a second clamp portion and a projecting plate, such that the plate can be fitted within the through slot and the second clamp member rotated to its closed position. A securing member retains the plate adjacent the spacer portion, so that adjacent edges of elongate insulation members may be positioned on opposing sides of the spacer portion and the adjacent plate. The insulation thus retains its generally sleeve-like configuration about the pipe and the pipe shoe, thereby decreasing the time required to install the insulation.

Abstract: A transducer for indicating the percentage filling of an underground mine storage bunker. The contents of the bunker is proportional to the rotation of a shaft of a conveyor which feeds it. The transducer comprises a shaft encoder for sensing this rotation and derives a signal indicative thereof. The signal is fed to a circuitry which includes a visual display for a further signal derived in the circuitry which is equal to the first mentioned signal and a bunker full warning light which is energized when the further signal exceeds a preselected value. The circuitry is compatible with a varied range of input signals.
