Abstract: A method, apparatus, and kit are provided for non-invasively freezing a content of a pipe. The method comprises the steps of applying a substantially continuous seal over an outside surface of a pipe at a location where a content of the pipe is to be frozen, covering a surface area of the pipe with a cover sheet in such a way that the substantially continuous seal separates the cover sheet from the surface area to define a cavity between the surface area and the cover sheet, and introducing a cryogenic fluid into the cavity to draw heat away from a content of the pipe, through the surface area. A periphery of the cavity is defined by the substantially continuous seal. The method advantageously provides an apparatus for freezing the content of the pipe. A kit can be used to assemble the apparatus. Advantageously, the method, apparatus 80, and kit provide a non-invasive way of freezing the pipe's content. There is no need to penetrate the wall of the pipe to insert any complex structures or mechanisms. Nor do the method, apparatus, and kit require multiple complex devices, each of which accommodates different diameters of pipe. The method, apparatus, and kit advantageously can be used at locations along the pipe where there are external obstructions 30. They also can be used in such a way that the escape of cryogenic fluids into the atmosphere is minimized, if not eliminated.

Abstract: A protective shield and bracket assembly adapted to cooperate with a flowmeter in which a variable-area flow tube subject to breakage in the course of operation is supported in an upright position within a meter body having a rear wall in a manner exposing all but the rear portion of the tube, whereby the vertical position assumed by a float within the tube may be observed to provide a reading of flow rate. The bracket is formed by a strip which lies against the rear wall of the meter body and is secured thereto, the strip being provided with resilient arms which project forwardly from opposite sides thereof and terminate in fingers to which opposing margins of a channel-shaped transparent plastic shield are attached, whereby the exposed sides of the meter tube are enveloped by the shield to define a safety chamber which confines explosion products resulting from breakage of the tube. Fluid discharged from the shattered tube is exhausted rearwardly from the chamber to prevent injury to personnel in the vicinity of the flowmeter.

Abstract: A portable fluid dispensing apparatus comprising an fluid reservoir, an air compressor, and a dispensing gun. The fluid reservoir is fitted with a pressure switch which regulates the pressure within said fluid reservoir. Once fluid is charged into the fluid reservoir, the air compressor is activated to pressurize said fluid reservoir and the apparatus is ready for use. The fluid dispenser is then transported to the servicing site. An operator pulls the trigger on the dispenser gun for delivery of fluid on demand. When the pressure in the fluid reservoir drops, the air compressor is automatically triggered to raise the pressure to the predetermined set point. The fluid reservoir may be replenished with fluid as needed by simply depressurizing the fluid reservoir, refilling and repressurizing same. The fluid dispenser may additionally be fitted with a manually operated pump. The fluid reservoir may also be thermally insulated with heat tape to maintain the desired viscosity of the fluid contained therein.

Abstract: A golf club holder can be folded up to be carried in a golfer's pocket and can then be unfolded or extended so that its ground-piercing legs can be pushed into the ground. The golf club holder includes a clamp, having first and second clamping surfaces, at least one of which is movable relative to the other for clamping the golf club onto the golf club holder. The golf club holder is clamped onto the club and is then pushed into the ground simply by holding the grip of the club and pushing the club down until the head of the club rests on the ground. To remove the holder, the golfer simply pulls the club by its grip, pulling the holder out of the ground, and then removes the holder from the club. In this way, the golfer can keep a spare club handy without its grip getting wet and without having to bend down to pick up a club from the ground.

Abstract: A rotating arc fault-current interrupter, also known as an arc spinner interrupter, is provided that establishes an easily visible open gap via a movable blade member having a first portion for engaging a stationary main contact and a second portion formed by an arcing electrode for engaging an auxiliary contact associated with an arc spinner assembly. The geometry, orientation and placement of the auxiliary contact is such that during opening of the movable blade member, the arcing electrode remains engaged with the auxiliary contact after the blade member and the stationary main contact are separated from each other whereby current is transferred through the auxiliary contact into the arc spinner assembly, i.e. the current is commutated into the arc spinner assembly. Thus, the current in the arc spinner creates a magnetic field to cause the arcing current to rotate rapidly so as to extinguish the arc as the arcing electrode separates from the auxiliary contact and moves to the opened position whereby a visible open gap is established that is easily visible without any obstructions from a range of viewing angles or orientations.

Abstract: A cryogenic tool capable of freezing the pipe content which otherwise flows through a pipe is provided to permit isolation of a repair site in the pipe. The cryogenic tool comprises a tool body and a cryogenic device. The tool body has a tip which is adapted for insertion through a wall of the pipe. The tip is of sufficient length to extend entirely through the wall of the pipe and into the pipe content. The cryogenic device is connected to the tip. The cryogenic device is adapted to reduce the temperature of the tip sufficiently to freeze the content of the pipe in the vicinity of the tip. Also provided is a method of freezing the content of a pipe to prevent flow through the pipe. The method comprises the steps of: inserting a thermally conductive tip of a cryogenic tool through a wall of the pipe so that the cryogenic tool extends into the content; and applying a cryogenic fluid to the conductive tip so that heat from the content of the pipe is transferred through the tip to the cryogenic fluid, to vaporize the cryogenic fluid.

Abstract: A passive current limiting device and isolator is particularly adapted for use at high power levels for limiting excessive currents in a circuit in a fault condition such as an electrical short. The current limiting device comprises a magnetic core wound with two magnetically opposed, parallel connected coils of copper, a high temperature superconductor or other electrically conducting material, and a fault element connected in series with one of the coils. Under normal operating conditions, the magnetic flux density produced by the two coils cancel each other. Under a fault condition, the fault element is triggered to cause an imbalance in the magnetic flux density between the two coils which results in an increase in the impedance in the coils. While the fault element may be a separate current limiter, switch, fuse, bimetal strip or the like, it preferably is a superconductor current limiter conducting one-half of the current load compared to the same limiter wired to carry the total current of the circuit. The major voltage during a fault condition is in the coils wound on the common core in a preferred embodiment.

Abstract translation: 无源限流装置和隔离器特别适于在高功率电平下使用以限制诸如电短路的故障条件下的电路中的过大电流。 限流装置包括磁芯，其缠绕有铜，高温超导体或其它导电材料的两个磁性相对的并联连接的线圈，以及与一个线圈串联连接的故障元件。 在正常工作条件下，由两个线圈产生的磁通密度相互抵消。 在故障条件下，故障元件被触发以引起两个线圈之间的磁通密度的不平衡，这导致线圈中的阻抗增加。 虽然故障元件可以是单独的限流器，开关，保险丝，双金属条等，但是优选的是超导体电流限制器，其传导电流负载的一半与相连的限制器相连以承载电路的总电流 。 在优选实施例中，在故障状态期间的主电压是卷绕在公共芯上的线圈。
