Abstract:

An apparatus and method of manufacture is disclosed for a fiber optic lighting device. The fiber optic lighting device is formed by adhering fiber optic strands onto a backing material in a radial pattern from a centralized illumination receiving port within a perimeter of the backing material. The centralized illumination receiving port of the fiber optic strands is where the illuminating source would transfer the illuminations into the fiber optic strands. The fiber optic strands can include a surface finish, which enhances the intensity of the light emitting from the fiber optic strands. The fiber optic lighting device can provide a non-linear sheared edge along the entire perimeter of the backing material.

Abstract:

A fiber optic lighting device is formed by adhering fiber optic strands onto a backing material in a radial pattern. The radial pattern projects from a centralized illumination receiving port within a perimeter of the backing material. The centralized illumination receiving port transfers light from the illuminating source into the fiber optic strands. The fiber optic strands can include a surface finish, which enhances the intensity of the light emitting from the fiber optic strands. The fiber optic lighting device provides a non-linear sheared edge along the entire perimeter of the backing material. The fiber optic lighting device includes multiple arrangements of the fiber optic strands, each grouping illuminated in a manner to distinguish one arrangement from another. This provides the ability to sequence through the illumination process with the result being an animated presentation. Colors can be utilized in the illumination process to further accentuate the animation.

Abstract:

A fluid quality monitoring apparatus () comprising a fluid flow channel () having a photo sensing material () disposed upon a first surface and a light source emitting light () through an opposing light transitive surface (). The condition of the fluid affects the absorption and reflection of the light. The penetrating light is received by the photo sensing material (), which provides an output that can be utilized to analyze the condition of the fluid. The light can be provided via a plurality of LEDS, the incorporation of a radially distributed series of fiber optic strands, or any other light source. The sensing material can include defraction gratings, improving the monitoring process. The sensing material can be incorporated in a variety of configurations. The apparatus is preferably designed to be integrated between a fluid filter and the respective filter mounting bracket.

Abstract:

A lubricant reclamation system having a reclamation device () is sectioned into three processing sections: a centralized core section (), a peripheral filtering section (), and a base filtering section (). A series of peripheral conduits () are disposed within the peripheral filtering section () having an entrance port () in communication with an inlet manifold () and discharging via an exit port () in communication with the base filter (), a peripheral filtering material (), or the core filtering section (). The peripheral conduits () can be linear, multi-directional, tapering, and spiraling. The filter is in fluid communication with a series of stacked reclamation members (). The stacked reclamation members () provide processing and/or monitoring of the lubricant via electrical or pneumatic interface.

US Classification:

210232, 2103231, 210341, 210345

Abstract:

A lubricant reclamation configuration includes a series of fluid inlets that distribute the fluid to a series of parallel arrangement of individual filter assemblies. A filter control valve assembly is assembled between the distribution manifold and each respective filter assembly individually controlling fluid flow between the distribution manifold and each respective filter assembly. The filter assembly processes the fluid. The processed fluid is collected and retuned to the system via a series of collection channels. The distribution manifold is preferably fabricated of a series of plates.

Abstract:

A lubricant additive dispensing apparatus comprising a base providing a manifold distribution to present lubricant to a series of dispensing chambers. The dispensing chambers are fabricated having a porous sidewall formed in a tubular shape. Additive is stored within a reservoir formed by the tubular shape. A delivery piston is provided proximate and in fluid communication with the manifold. The lubricant applies pressure to the delivery piston. The delivery piston applies pressure to the stored additive. The pressure forces a small volume of additive to pass through the porous sidewall, blending the additive with the flowing lubricant. The reservoir can be formed between an outer tubular member and an inner tubular member. Lubricant can pass through an interior of the inner tubular member, existing a flow discharge port located proximate an end cap assembled to a distal end of the reservoir.
