Device and method for remotely venting a container

Patent Vodila, James M [North Huntingdon, PA]; Bergersen, Jeffrey A [Idaho Falls, ID]

A device for venting a container having a bung includes a saddle assembly curable to a container and having a support extending therefrom. A first arm is rotatably secured to the support, and the first arm extends in a first direction. A second arm has a first end portion drivingly engaged with the first arm, so that rotation of the first arm causes rotation of the second arm. A second end portion of the first arm is positionable proximate the bung of the container. A socket is operably associated and rotatable with the second end portion and is drivingly engageablemore » « less

Remote vacuum compaction of compressible hazardous waste

Patent Coyne, Martin J [Pittsburgh, PA]; Fiscus, Gregory M [McMurray, PA]; Sammel, Alfred G [Pittsburgh, PA]

A system for remote vacuum compaction and containment of low-level radioactive or hazardous waste comprising a vacuum source, a sealable first flexible container, and a sealable outer flexible container for receiving one or more first flexible containers. A method for compacting low level radioactive or hazardous waste materials at the point of generation comprising the steps of sealing the waste in a first flexible container, sealing one or more first containers within an outer flexible container, breaching the integrity of the first containers, evacuating the air from the inner and outer containers, and sealing the outer container shut.

Laser remote sensing of backscattered light from a target sample

Patent Sweatt, William C [Albuquerque, NM]; Williams, John D [Albuquerque, NM]

A laser remote sensing apparatus comprises a laser to provide collimated excitation light at a wavelength; a sensing optic, comprising at least one optical element having a front receiving surface to focus the received excitation light onto a back surface comprising a target sample and wherein the target sample emits a return light signal that is recollimated by the front receiving surface; a telescope for collecting the recollimated return light signal from the sensing optic; and a detector for detecting and spectrally resolving the return light signal. The back surface further can comprise a substrate that absorbs the target samplemore » « less

Local intelligent electronic device (IED) rendering templates over limited bandwidth communication link to manage remote IED

Patent Bradetich, Ryan; Dearien, Jason A; Grussling, Barry Jakob; ...

The present disclosure provides systems and methods for remote device management. According to various embodiments, a local intelligent electronic device (IED) may be in communication with a remote IED via a limited bandwidth communication link, such as a serial link. The limited bandwidth communication link may not support traditional remote management interfaces. According to one embodiment, a local IED may present an operator with a management interface for a remote IED by rendering locally stored templates. The local IED may render the locally stored templates using sparse data obtained from the remote IED. According to various embodiments, the management interfacemore » « less

System and method for evaluating wind flow fields using remote sensing devices

Patent Schroeder, John; Hirth, Brian; Guynes, Jerry

The present invention provides a system and method for obtaining data to determine one or more characteristics of a wind field using a first remote sensing device and a second remote sensing device. Coordinated data is collected from the first and second remote sensing devices and analyzed to determine the one or more characteristics of the wind field. The first remote sensing device is positioned to have a portion of the wind field within a first scanning sector of the first remote sensing device. The second remote sensing device is positioned to have the portion of the wind field disposedmore » « less
