  • Publication number: 20210405836
    Abstract: The present invention is a system and method for automating several processes that are presently time-consuming and labor intensive projects, and more specifically, the invention is a system and method implemented by a computer-based tool that enables a user to bring multiple cables (202) together and illustrate in a graphical manner the splices between individual fibers (206) in multiple tubes (204) within multiple cables (202). In addition, user may dynamically move one of more cables (202) in the schematic diagram (200) and the tool will automatically redraw all of the splices between fibers (202) in a manner that creates an efficient layout of the splices. The schematic diagram (200) may show different levels of detail and thereby hide specific splices between fibers (206) until they are needed.

  • Patent number: 6572261
    Abstract: An agitator assembly for mounting in a wall of a storage tank that includes a body having a rotatable shaft extending therethrough. The body includes a duct having a diameter that is larger than the diameter of the shaft to allow passage of a fluid therebetween. An impeller is secured to one end of the shaft and a collar is secured to the other end. A bushing is provided between the body and the shaft and allows passage of a fluid during a cleaning cycle. A motor assembly is attached to the shaft and provides power for rotation of the shaft. A resilient member is provided over the shaft between the motor assembly and collar to control axial movement of the shaft. During a cleaning cycle, fluid pressure overcomes the biasing force of the compressible member permitting the fluid to escape the body to effectively clean the impeller.
