Appl. No.:

11/594648

Inventors:

Ronald Walker - Goodyear AZ, US

International Classification:

H01R 3/00

US Classification:

439500, 439759

Abstract:

A quick connect unit is used to quickly connect a battery cable to a terminal of a battery, such as an automobile battery. The quick connect unit includes jaws that are adapted to be connected to a battery terminal and a handle connected to the jaws that is squeezed to lock the jaws to the battery terminal in electrical contact with that terminal. The handle can be locked in a position that locks the jaws to the terminal. An electrical connector is mounted on the element and a battery cable is easily connected to and disconnected from the electrical connector.

International Classification:

G21C 17/00

US Classification:

702184

Abstract:

A turbine and method for determining turbine maintenance. The method for determining hot gas path turbine maintenance comprises recording a number of part load starts (), base load starts (), fast starts (), full speed no load trips (), and load trips (); forming a weighted equivalent starts as a weighted summation of part load starts, base load starts, fast starts, full speed no load trips, and load trips; comparing the weighted equivalent starts to a predetermined threshold; and initiating the maintenance procedure. The method for determining rotor parts turbine maintenance comprises recording the number of fast starts, normal starts (), and elapsed time starts () from shutdown to restart; forming a weighted equivalent starts as a weighted combination of fast starts, normal starts, and elapsed time starts from shutdown to restart; comparing the weighted equivalent starts to a predetermined threshold; and if a weighted equivalent starts exceeds the predetermined threshold, initiating the maintenance procedure.

Appl. No.:

5/879667

Ronald E. Walker - Auburn WA

Assignee:

Weyerhaeuser Company - Tacoma WA

International Classification:

B01F 702

US Classification:

366156

Abstract:

An apparatus for continuously mixing liquid resin and powdered hardeners in accurate proportions to produce adhesives is described. A mixing screw and tube lock into a mounting from which they may easily be removed for quick cleanout. The preferred screw has mixing threads that are of the buttress type, having rectangular leading and sloped trailing edges in cross section. The screw is divided into transporting and high shear rate mixing sections. In the transporting section, the rectangular thread edges face in the direction of material flow through the tube. The high shear rate section's buttress threads are modified by spiral cuts in the threads, at a greater lead than the buttress threads. This section is installed with the sloped edge facing the direction of material flow.
