20050145623, Jul 7, 2005

Filed:

Dec 24, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/746409

Inventors:

James Pool - Richardson TX, US
Peter Ashcraft - McKinney TX, US

International Classification:

H05B006/80

US Classification:

219730000

Abstract:

A cooking tray (optionally interstices-defining, microwave-transparent and providing an appropriate view factor) has a one-piece, integral, unitary construction formed of a food-grade, non-stick material suitable for use in a rapid cook oven which cooks by a combination of at least two heat transfer mechanisms selected from the group consisting of radiant heat transfer, convection heat transfer and microwave energy transfer. The construction defines a base and an upstanding peripheral sidewall about the base for the collection of solid debris created during cooking. Preferably the material is food-grade fiberglass with a non-stick coating.

Appl. No.:

6/605150

Inventors:

James R. Pool - Athens TX

International Classification:

B26D 316

US Classification:

83 17

Abstract:

A tube slotting apparatus (10) includes a base (12) upon which a polyvinyl chloride tube (86) is disposed. The tube (86) is mounted over a convex surface (71) to allow bowing thereof. A tensioning apparatus (52) presses the tube (86) against the convex surface such that the upper surface thereof is tensioned and the lower surface thereof is in compression. A plurality of saw blades (70) are mounted on a pivoting bracket (72) to provide cutting of the slots in the tube (86). Rotation of the saw blades (70) on to the tensioned surface of the polyvinyl chloride tube (86) results in the formation of slots. The saw blades (70) are rotated in the opposite direction to the cutting teeth and the portion of the polyvinyl chloride tube (86) disposed between the two saw blades during formation of the slots pulls away from the surface of the saw blades such that binding is prevented.

US Classification:

83876

Abstract:

A cutting apparatus (10) having blades (42) disposed on a plate (32). A lever arm (50) moves the blades (42) up and down, simultaneously with a ratchet (72). On its upward stroke, the ratchet (72) rotates a chain (76). The rotation of the chain (76) moves a conveyor (97) holding the pipe (55) or other material to be cut into a position for the next cut.

International Classification:

E21B 4304

US Classification:

166 51

Abstract:

A fabric sleeve is used to hold gravel pack granular material in place over the open (slotted, perforated, punched, louvered, etc. ) portions of a well screen. A well screen is described having an attachment device oriented to form longitudinal fabric sleeve pockets parallel to the longitudinal axis of the well screen. The pockets are filled with a gravel pack material.

International Classification:

US Classification:

126 21A

Abstract:

A recycling cooking oven for cooking food at least in part by hot air flow and providing a substantially closed but vented environment includes a cooking chamber for receiving a stream of hot air from an upstream thermal plenum via a plurality of openings in the cooking chamber, the cooking chamber cooking food therein at least partially with hot air from the plurality of openings and the cooking of such foods adding oxidizable components to the hot air. A blower circulates the stream of hot air in substantially a continuous travel path including the thermal plenum, the plurality of openings and the cooking chamber. A main catalytic converter is disposed in the continuous travel path for flamelessly oxidizing the oxidizable components leaving the cooking chamber. A vent communicating with ambient atmosphere and the main catalytic converter diverts an auxiliary vent stream of hot air from the main catalytic converter into the vent; and an auxiliary catalytic converter is disposed in the vent, downstream of the main catalytic converter, for flamelessly oxidizing oxidizable components in the hot air of the auxiliary vent stream passing through the vent, thereby to further remove oxidizable components from the hot air of the auxiliary vent stream and so release a relatively clean auxiliary vent stream of hot air from the vent into the ambient atmosphere.
