Device For Determining And Maintaining Mold Gyration Angle In A Gyratory Compactor

View page
US Patent:
7370574, May 13, 2008
Filed:
Sep 28, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/536124
Inventors:
Raffaello Verna - Creedmoor NC, US
Dirk Matthew Steckmann - Cary NC, US
William A. Gowan - Raleigh NC, US
Rayvonn Donnell Core - Mebane NC, US
William Matthew Moscrip - Durham NC, US
Assignee:
Troxler Electronic Laboratories, Inc. - Research Triangle Park NC
International Classification:
G01N 3/62
G01N 3/08
B30B 15/14
US Classification:
100 48, 73 114, 73 115, 73824, 100 99
Abstract:
A gyratory compactor apparatus is provided for interacting with a sample within a generally cylindrical mold having a flange. Such an apparatus comprises a frame defining an axis and an offsetable member engaged with the frame for engaging one end of the mold. The offsetable member is displaceable from the axis and is concurrently movable in an orbital motion thereabout. A pressure ram is movable along the axis and a mold-engaging device is engaged with the frame for receiving the mold such that the mold and frame axes are coaxial. The pressure ram is axially movable within the mold to apply a compaction pressure on the sample, and thereby maintains a portion of the mold at a gyration point along the frame axis. The mold-engaging device axially moves the mold into engagement with the offsetable member. A securing device engaged with the offsetable member and movable therewith reversibly engages the mold to secure the mold to the offsetable member as the secured end is moved in the orbital motion by the offsetable member.

Calibration Of Gyratory Compactor Apparatuses And Associated Methods

View page
US Patent:
8359900, Jan 29, 2013
Filed:
Jan 11, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/685519
Inventors:
Francis D. Caulfield - Raleigh NC, US
Raffaello Verna - Creedmoor NC, US
Donald E. Weger - Wendell NC, US
Francois J. Malassenet - Raleigh NC, US
Dirk M. Steckmann - Cary NC, US
Assignee:
Troxler Electronic Laboratories, Inc. - Research Triangle Park NC
International Classification:
G01C 25/00
G01N 3/08
US Classification:
73 177, 73818
Abstract:
A method for calibrating a gyratory compactor apparatus is provided. The gyratory compactor apparatus is of the type being configured to compact and impart an orbital motion to a sample in a mold that defines a mold axis and includes at least one actuator for imparting lateral displacement of the mold relative to a longitudinal axis of the gyratory compactor apparatus. The method includes the steps of imparting lateral orbital displacement of the mold relative to the gyratory compactor apparatus by actuation of the at least one actuator to thereby define a gyratory angle between the gyratory compactor apparatus and the mold axis, measuring the gyratory angle, and determining adjustments to actuation of the at least one actuator based on the measured gyratory angle and a target angle. An associated apparatus and method for calibrating the apparatus are also included.

US Classification:
73856, 73824
Abstract:
A gyratory compactor apparatus is provided for interacting with a sample within a generally cylindrical mold having a flange. Such an apparatus comprises a frame defining an axis and an offsetable member engaged with the frame for engaging one end of the mold. The offsetable member is displaceable from the axis and is concurrently movable in an orbital motion thereabout. A pressure ram is movable along the axis and a mold-engaging device is engaged with the frame for receiving the mold such that the mold and frame axes are coaxial. The pressure ram is axially movable within the mold to apply a compaction pressure on the sample, and thereby maintains a portion of the mold at a gyration point along the frame axis. The mold-engaging device axially moves the mold into engagement with the offsetable member. A securing device engaged with the offsetable member and movable therewith reversibly engages the mold to secure the mold to the offsetable member as the secured end is moved in the orbital motion by the offsetable member.

Method And Apparatus For Controlling Gas Flow Via A Gas Shut-Off Valve Assembly

View page
US Patent:
20120031499, Feb 9, 2012
Filed:
Aug 9, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/852684
Inventors:
Tim Scott - Lawrenceville GA, US
Dirk Steckmann - Cary NC, US
Daniel W. Peace - Punxsatawney PA, US
Doug Vargas - DuBois PA, US
Assignee:
SENSUS USA INC. - Raleigh NC
International Classification:
F16K 37/00
US Classification:
137 14, 137557
Abstract:
The present invention comprises a method and apparatus for controlling gas flow via a gas shut-off valve assembly. In at least one embodiment, the assembly is configured to drive its shut-off valve from an open position to a closed position, in response to detecting a valve closure condition. The assembly in one or more embodiments operates as an intelligent node in an AMR network, and it interprets a received closure command as a closure condition. Additionally, or alternatively, the assembly detects abnormal operating conditions as the closure condition. Advantageously, the assembly performs initial closure verification, based on detecting movement of the valve into the closed position, and performs subsequent closure verification, based on monitoring downstream gas pressure. In the same or other embodiments, the assembly provides enhanced stand-alone reliability and safety by incorporating one or more valve clearing/cleaning routines into its operations.
