Well Tending Method And Apparatus
US Patent:
6542827, Apr 1, 2003
Filed:
Aug 31, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/653144
Inventors:
Wallace C. Koster - Chambersburg PA 17201
International Classification:
G06F 1900
US Classification:
702 22, 702 11, 702 50, 73 3104, 73 32 R, 73 394, 700 75, 700 83, 210 58, 210 97
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for monitoring, controlling, recording, and transmitting operational parameters of an aquifer test, municipal well, dewatering project, pump and treat remediation project, or similar activity is presented. Water from a water source, typically a well, is directed through a flow control and monitoring assembly containing sensors to measure well parameters. Sensor readings are sent to a computing device for processing. Discrepancies are detected and operational parameters adjusted to avoid discrepancy-related failures. On-site and off-site personnel interface with the system through a man-machine interface or telephonic communication means, respectively. Performance and efficiency are determined in terms of drawdown, yield, rate of flow, residual drawdown, and specific capacity.
E-Z Hose Coupling
US Patent:
2002004, Apr 18, 2002
Filed:
Oct 9, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/973246
Inventors:
Wallace Koster - Chambersburg PA, US
International Classification:
F16L033/00
US Classification:
285/242000
Abstract:
A hose coupling device is connected to a hose to allow the hose to freely rotate around the axis of the hose coupling device and the hose, such that torque, twisting or kinking of the hose is relieved, released, or eliminated. A hose is cut into two portions. Each portion of the hose is fitted with an insert which holds a nut against the lipped side of said insert Hose clamps are placed over each portion of the hose above each insert and against each nut A threaded pipe nipple is fitted into each nut Screws are tightened into hose clamps Torque, twisting or kinking of the hose is relieved, released, or eliminated by allowing the two portions of the hose to rotate relative to each other.
