Patent number: 6575194Abstract: An arrangement for passing an electrical signal between first and second areas includes a body disposable between the first and second areas and having an aperture. A first sleeve is at least partially disposed in the aperture and defines a first opening. A second sleeve is also at least partially disposed in the aperture and defines a second opening. The arrangement further includes an electrically conductive element having a first portion disposed in the first opening, and a second portion disposed in the second opening.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2001Date of Patent: June 10, 2003Assignee: Dynetek Industries Ltd.Inventors: Gary Wayne Miller, Thomas Dean Barker, Garth James Schultz, Stephen Alan Carter

Patent number: 6517615Abstract: A filter arrangement for use with a vessel containing pressurized fluid includes a body engageable with the vessel. The arrangement further includes a coalescing filter assembly supported by the body such that the filter assembly is disposable inside the vessel when the body is engaged with the vessel. In one embodiment of the filter arrangement, the coalescing filter assembly includes a housing having a cavity, a coalescing filter disposed in the cavity for removing entrained liquid from the fluid, and a drain device in fluid communication with the cavity for draining the liquid removed by the coalescing filter from the cavity into the vessel.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2001Date of Patent: February 11, 2003Assignee: Dynetek Industries Ltd.Inventors: Gary Wayne Miller, Thomas Dean Barker, Garth James Schultz, Stephen Alan Carter

Patent number: 6495032Abstract: A filter arrangement for use with a vessel that receives fluid includes a body engageable with the vessel. The body has an inlet port, an outlet port, a body cavity, a first fluid path disposed between the inlet port and body cavity, and a second fluid path disposed between the body cavity and the outlet port. A filter is disposed at least partially in the body cavity, and includes a filter cavity and filter media for filtering the fluid. A valve is associated with the body for allowing the fluid to flow into and out of the vessel. When the fluid flows into the vessel, the fluid flows through the filter cavity and along the first fluid path without flowing through the filter media. When the fluid flows out of the vessel, the fluid flows along the first fluid path, through the filter media and along the second fluid path.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2001Date of Patent: December 17, 2002Assignee: Dynetek Industries Ltd.Inventors: Gary Wayne Miller, Thomas Dean Barker, Garth James Schultz, Stephen Alan Carter

Patent number: 6452099Abstract: An arrangement is provided for passing an electrical signal between a first area having a first pressure, and a second area having a second pressure, wherein the first pressure is normally greater than the second pressure. The arrangement includes a body disposable between the first and second areas. The body has a first surface disposable adjacent the first area, and an aperture extending from the first surface. A sleeve is non-threadingly engaged with the body and defines a passage. The sleeve further has a first portion disposed adjacent the first surface, and a second portion disposed in the aperture. The arrangement further includes an electrically conductive element disposed at least partially in the passage. When the sleeve is exposed to the first pressure, the first portion is urged toward the first surface of the body.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2001Date of Patent: September 17, 2002Assignee: Dynetek Industries Ltd.Inventors: Gary Wayne Miller, Thomas Dean Barker, Garth James Schultz, Stephen Alan Carter

Patent number: 6321779Abstract: A regulator for regulating outlet pressure of a fluid supplied to the regulator from a fluid source includes a body having an inlet, and a pressure regulating chamber disposed in the body. A high pressure fluid circuit extends between the inlet and the pressure regulating chamber for transmitting the fluid from the inlet to the pressure regulating chamber. The high pressure fluid circuit includes at least two longitudinally extending high pressure passages in fluid communication with each other. One longitudinally extending high pressure passage transmits the fluid in a first direction, and another longitudinally extending high pressure passage transmits the fluid in a second direction different than the first direction.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2000Date of Patent: November 27, 2001Assignee: Veritek NGV, Corp.Inventors: Gary W Miller, Thomas Dean Barker, Sathish Atluri, Garth J Schultz, Stephen A Carter
