Flowserve Management Company - Irving TX

International Classification:

A62C 3100

US Classification:

239566, 239438, 239442, 239447

Abstract:

A remotely operated cutting mode shifting apparatus for use with a decoking tool of the type in which the cutting mode is changed by rotation of a diverter valve plate, has a shifter body adapted for mounting to the decoking tool and a control rod for engaging with the diverter valve plate. It includes a mechanism within the shifter body for rotating the control rod to drive the diverter valve plate to shift the cutting mode of the decoking tool upon release of cutting fluid pressure from the tool.

Appl. No.:

10/873955

Inventors:

Richard Tran - Santa Ana CA, US
Nancy Tran - Santa Ana CA, US

International Classification:

H05K 5/00

US Classification:

361686, 713201, 709225

Abstract:

A computer system including a switch box and bracket assembly including one or more manual switches are provided for controlling the selective activation and deactivation of the computer systems' memory storage devices and network system. Preferably, the computer system includes a wire harnesses including a network cable for connecting a network to the bracket assembly's input port, a relay cable for connecting the bracket assembly's output port to the computer's network port and a manual switch. Instead of network communications being transmitted directly from the network to the network port, the signals are rerouted through the bracket assembly's input port, manual switch and output port, and then routed to the computer's network port. Access to the network is then controlled by simple manual manipulation of a button, toggle or knob to create an open or closed circuit.

Appl. No.:

10/808766

Inventors:

Richard Tran - Santa Ana CA, US
Nancy Tran - Santa Ana CA, US

International Classification:

G06F013/00

US Classification:

710100000

Abstract:

A computer system including a switch box is provided for controlling the selective activation and deactivation of the computer systems' memory storage devices. The switch box includes one or more pairs of switches with each pair including a power switch and a signal switch. The power switch selectively provides power to the corresponding power switches. Meanwhile, the signal switch selectively provides an open or closed circuit for allowing or restricting the transmission of data signals between the computers processor and memory storage device.

Appl. No.:

11/356810

Inventors:

Richard Tran - Santa Ana CA, US
Nancy Tran - Santa Ana CA, US

International Classification:

G06F 13/00

US Classification:

710100000

Abstract:

A computer system is provided including a variety of switch components for controlling the selective activation and deactivation of the computer systems' memory storage devices, network system and interface peripheral devices. The switching components may include a switch box having one or more switches for controlling activation and deactivation of various computer components. The switch components may also include a bracket assembly having an input port, output port and an intermediate manual switch for controlling the communication between a network and a computer's processor. The bracket assembly and switch box may also be constructed to control the transmission or restriction of power or data signals to a memory storage device or may control the transmission of power or data signals to one or more interface peripheral ports.

US Patent:

Filed:

Apr 17, 1997

Appl. No.:

8/842860

Inventors:

Richard Tran - San Gabriel CA
Robert M. Purton - Long Beach CA

Assignee:

Ingersoll-Dresser Pump Company - Liberty Corner NJ

International Classification:

C10C 318

US Classification:

239443

Abstract:

A decoking tool includes a valve body equipped with a pressurized fluid inlet and having a plurality of fluid passages, including drilling fluid passages extending substantially the full length of the valve body to conduct fluid to drilling nozzle sockets, and cutting fluid passages extending approximately half as far as the drilling fluid passages to conduct fluid to cutting nozzle sockets, the drilling and cutting fluid passages being disposed alternatingly on a circular locus about an axial centerline of the valve body. There are nozzles installed in the nozzle sockets. A diverter plate is interposed between the valve body and the pressurized fluid inlet and has axial fluid passages disposed on a circular path congruent with the circular locus, the disposition of the axial fluid passages being such that the passages align either with the drilling fluid passages or with the cutting fluid passages of the valve body. Means are provided for rotating the diverter plate to selectively provide fluid communication to either the drilling fluid passages or the cutting fluid passages.

Appl. No.:

9/188746

Inventors:

Robert M. Purton - Long Beach CA
Richard Tran - San Gabriel CA

Assignee:

Ingersoll-Dresser Pump Company - Liberty Corner NJ

International Classification:

B08B 302

US Classification:

134167R

Abstract:

An apparatus for a decoking system, for raising and lowering a cutting tool into a coking drum, has at least one rigid vertical member extending above the coking drum with a toothed rack extending substantially the full height of the member. A rigid frame with provisions for mounting a cutting tool is movably mounted to the rigid vertical member. A motor is mounted to the rigid frame and powers a pinion gear which is drivably engaged on the toothed rack such that rotation of the pinion gear raises or lowers the rigid frame on the vertical member.
