Publication number: 20200033837Abstract: A data center comprises an enclosed space, a support disposed in the enclosed space, a plurality of cryptocurrency miners disposed on the support, and a barrier wall separating the enclosed space into a first portion on a relatively cool side and a second portion on a relatively warm side. The cryptocurrency miners each comprise a miner fan for circulating air from the first portion, and the cryptocurrency miners are each disposed so that air moved by the miner fan is exhausted into the second portion. A method of cooling a data center involves drawing relatively cool air into and through miners. Once the air is warmed inside the miners, the air is exhausted into a partitioned space.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2019Publication date: January 30, 2020Inventors: Walter Neal Simmons, Walter John Simmons, Connor Tinen

Patent number: 10132165Abstract: A grouting system for anchoring a reinforcement in a mine includes a package that is a tubular member formed of polymer film and has discrete first and second compartments. Hardenable cementitious material that is a hydratable substance and water is disposed in the first compartment. A method of forming a resin grouting capsule includes: injecting a hardenable material into a first compartment of the capsule having resin mastic; wherein the hardenable material does not substantially react with the resin mastic when injected into the first compartment. Another method of forming a resin grouting capsule includes: injecting a hardenable material into a first compartment of the capsule having catalyst mastic; wherein the hardenable material does not substantially react with the catalyst mastic when injected into the first compartment.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2011Date of Patent: November 20, 2018Assignee: Terrasimco, Inc.Inventors: Walter John Simmons, Walter Neal Simmons

Patent number: 9738405Abstract: A method is disclosed for packaging a curable resin composition and a catalyst composition that react with each other when mixed, comprising providing a partitioned tube for receiving the resin composition and the curing agent in separate compartments; delivering a stream of a resin composition into one compartment of the tube; delivering a stream of a curing agent in the other compartment of the tube; advancing the partitioned tube and constricting and sealing the partitioned tube at spaced apart intervals and severing the sealed tube to produce a package partitioning the resin composition from the catalyst composition. Solid particulate is continuously added into the stream of at least one of the catalyst composition and the resin composition and mixing the solid particulate and stream to produce a mixed composition; and the relative amount of solid particulate in the mixed composition is controlled by continuously determining the mass of solid particulate added to the mass of the stream.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2013Date of Patent: August 22, 2017Assignee: J-LOK Co.Inventors: John G.

Patent number: 7775754Abstract: A nut having an injection-molded insert or delay stopper is threaded onto an end of an anchor. A capsule containing a resin component and a catalyst component and the other end of the anchor are positioned in a bore hole in a mine roof, mine wall, side of a hill, concrete wall, or concrete floor. The threaded end of the nut contacts the insert and rotation of the nut rotates the anchor, breaking the capsule and mixing the components. After the components set, increased torque is applied to fracture the insert and move the nut up the threaded end of the shaft against roof stabilizing components on the shaft.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2006Date of Patent: August 17, 2010Assignee: FCI Holdings Delaware, Inc.Inventors: Karl Anthony Calandra, John G.

Patent number: 7681377Abstract: A process for producing partitioned packages by which a first film is formed into an elongated inner tube and a second film is formed into an elongated outer tube surrounding the inner tube. Reactive components are filled into the inner and outer tubes as the tubes are formed to maintain the reactive components separate from each other. Only the outer tube is actively engaged to advance the tube longitudinally. Frictional forces from the advancing outer tube are applied to the component within the outer tube and, in turn, are applied to the inner tube thereby advancing the inner tube at a rate substantially the same as the outer tube.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2006Date of Patent: March 23, 2010Assignee: J-Lok Co.Inventors: Walter John Simmons, Walter Neal Simmons, John G.
