  • Design and engineering project management system
    Patent number: 6036345
    Abstract: A design and engineering project management system comprising a computer including a microprocessor, program memory, data storage memory, one or more displays, logic for identifying overall product objectives and group objectives relating to each of one or more subsystems or components of the overall product and displaying the overall objective and group objectives in a plurality of graphic windows which are quickly retrieved by the system operator, thereby integrating the diverse interests and activities of the groups into a comprehensive system design and implementation program. The system also preferably includes logic for identifying one or more strategies for achieving group objectives and presenting the strategies in a graphic form which allows for quick comparison of competing strategies.

  • Well pump-off controller
    Patent number: 4058757
    Abstract: A system for measuring current or load for shutting down a motor of a walking beam type pumping unit in the event that pump-off occurs. The system employs a peak picker which picks either minimum current or maximum load and an integrator coupled to the peak picker for integrating current or load during each stroke cycle. A threshold device coupled to the output of the integrator produces a control signal for shutting down the motor if the integrator output fails to reach a predetermined threshold during each stroke cycle.
