Filed:

Mar 16, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/378416

Inventors:

John Ardente - Queen Creek AZ, US
James Garrison - Apache Junction AZ, US

International Classification:

B61B 13/10

US Classification:

104138100

Abstract:

An apparatus () configured to effect personnel traverse though a pipeline () is presented. This apparatus () is suitable for pipelines () having an inner diameter () of not less than fifteen inches and not greater than thirty-six inches. The apparatus () is made up of a frame (), a platform (), a single drive wheel (), and a pair of guidance wheels (). An electric motor () is supported by a motor bracket () affixed to the frame (). The motor () is coupled to the drive wheel () by a drive belt or chain (). Each of the guidance wheels () has a plane of rotation (), and is configured to contact an interior surface () of the pipeline () at a contact point () within that plane of rotation () when that plane of rotation () is substantially perpendicular to the interior surface () of the pipeline (). This allows the apparatus () to automatically follow the curvature of the pipeline () during traverse.

International Classification:

C07C 8722

US Classification:

Abstract:

A process for making halogen salts which comprises reacting elemental halogen, hydrazine or a hydrazine compound, and a compound selected from the oxides and hydroxides of alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, Zn, Bi, Sn(II,IV), and Mn(II), the carbonates and bicarbonates of the alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, Sc, Y, Ti(IV), Zr, Hf, V(IV), Nb, Ta, Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni, Cu(I), Ag, Zn, Cd, Hg(II), Al, Ga(III), Tl(III), Sn(II,IV), Pb(II) and Bi and the hydrates thereof, ammonia and ammonium compounds, such as ammonium carbonate, amines such as ethylenediamine, in the presence of a solvent medium selected from water, alcohols, ethers, and mixtures thereof. Thus, lithium carbonate, hydrazine, and elemental iodine react in water to produce lithium iodide which can be isolated from the water solution by evaporation.
