Abstract: According to an embodiment of the present invention, an improved fish finder apparatus is provided that allows for the apparatus to be attached to and removed from a fishing line without need to cut said fishing line. This is achieved by providing an improved fish finder apparatus with a channel for receiving fishing line, thread or other filamentous material. One of ordinary skill in the art would appreciate that any type of fishing line, thread, or other filamentous material could be used with embodiments of the present invention, and embodiments of the present invention are contemplated for use with any fishing line, thread or other filamentous material.

Abstract: An oil cleaning system is provided that includes a source of oil that is substantially free of aqueous content. The system further includes an oil flow conduit that is in fluid communication with the oil source. The oil flow conduit is operable to draw a flow stream substantially free of aqueous content from the oil source. Further, a barrier filter is positioned in the conduit to filter particles from the flow stream. Furthermore, an electrostatic fluid cleaner is positioned in the oil flow conduit downstream of the barrier filter to remove contaminants from oil flow exiting the barrier filter, particularly insoluble, submicron particles of oil degradation products.

Abstract: An oil cleaning system is provided having an oil source and a re-circulating oil flow conduit that is in fluid communication with the oil source and operable to draw an oil flow stream therefrom. A barrier filter is further provided and positioned in the oil flow conduit to filter particles from the flow stream. An electrostatic fluid cleaner is also positioned in the oil flow conduit downstream of the barrier filter to remove particles from oil flow exiting the barrier filter. Furthermore, a selectively operable bypass conduit is provided that is fluidly connected to the oil flow conduit upstream of the electrostatic fluid cleaner. A sensor is positioned to detect a predetermined aqueous content upstream of the electrostatic fluid cleaner and to divert flow in the flowstream into the bypass conduit.

Abstract: A compressor valve comprising at least one valve port opening and a flexible valve member located over the at least one valve port for controlling gas flow therethrough, wherein the compressor valve is adapted to cause elements of the valve member to vibrate at least substantially out of phase during operation of the compressor valve.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a system for cleaning an apparatus like a paper making apparatus. The system sprays a thickened liquid composition that has a soil treating agent, and the system may be used at pressures which do not exceed 100 psi.
