  • Publication number: 20170343397
    Abstract: A method of measuring a flow rate of a fluid flowing in a space between an outer conduit and an inner element in the outer conduit is provided. Ultrasonic waves are transmitted and received through the space between multiple pairs of ultrasonic transducers along multiple propagation paths, respectively. A mean line velocity of the fluid is calculated based on data from each pair of ultrasonic transducers. As such, multiple mean line velocities across the space are obtained. The flow rate of the fluid is calculated based on the multiple mean line velocities.

  • Patent number: 9636564
    Abstract: A golf swing alignment and swing-aiming device is disclosed. An embodiment of the device includes a main elongated member, an aim arm that is pivotally connected to the main elongated member, an aiming strip that is pivotally connected to the aim arm, and a ball positioning arm that is pivotally connected to the main member at a location near the second end of the main member. The device collapses so that it can fit inside a club sheath in a golf bag, and can be unfolded to allow the user to position the aiming strip in a parallel arrangement with the main member, so that the aiming strip can be used to guide the swing of a golf club while positioning one's feet along the main member.

  • Patent number: 9347289
    Abstract: Blowout preventer systems are provided. According to an exemplary embodiment, the system includes a blowout preventer, a plurality of position sensing mechanisms, a plurality of pressure sensing mechanisms, and a controller configured to receive position data indicating a position of a piston and pressure data indicating the pressure of hydraulic fluid being applied to the piston, and to determine a current stroking pressure signature or fingerprint during a closing cycle, which when compared to a baseline stroking pressure signature or fingerprint, can provide an indication of the health of one or more components of the operator containing the piston. The controller can also determine a backlash of the ram block, and/or to record a position of the ram block, and/or to calculate an instant when a supplemental closing pressure is desired to be applied, and/or to determine when maintenance of a ram locking mechanism is due, and/or to determine when sealing elements are worn.

  • Publication number: 20160001925
    Abstract: Disclosed is a cover for a bottle that includes a retention feature to allow a user to hold the bottle using a single digit of the user's hand once the cover is in place. Preferably the cover is designed so that it can be slipped over a bottle containing e-liquid for refilling of electronic cigarettes. The cover is a form fitting sleeve and permits visualization of the fluid level in the bottle through openings in the sleeve or by using a semi-transparent material for the sleeve. The retention feature, preferably, can be shaped into a loop shape by the user and allows a user to slip at least one digit through the retention feature thereby permitting the user to simultaneously hold the bottle and a cartridge, cartomizer or clearomizer in one hand and to use the other hand to fill the cartridge, cartomizer or clearomizer of the electronic cigarette with the e-liquid.
