| 20100054961 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR A SUBMERSIBLE PUMP SYSTEM AND LINEAR ELECTROFUSION - This invention relates generally to a high volume, buoyancy controlled submersible pump assembly designed to sit on the bottom of a body of water or other liquid substance and move a large volume of water or liquid substance. Alternatively, the submersible pump assembly is capable of achieving and maintaining neutral buoyancy or near neutral buoyancy in a particular body of water or liquid substance. The neutrally buoyant version includes the means to maintain the pump assembly at a given depth without requiring it to sit on the bottom of the body of water or other liquid substance. This invention also relates to linear electrofusion for thermoplastic components. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20110123357 | FLOATABLE PUMP UNIT - A pump assembly is buoyant and includes an electrical drive motor ( | 05-26-2011 |
| 20130294945 | Water Pump and Methods of Use Thereof - A system for pumping water in a body of water from a first depth to a second depth using energy generated by a passing wave. The system can have a floatable member and a submergible member having a conduit and a valve, a vertical support, a stabilization member, a passageway, and a depth adjusting member. | 11-07-2013 |
| 20140017098 | FLOAT DEVICE - A float device for use in a body of water includes a float configured to transform between a deflated state and an inflated state. The float includes at least one internal chamber. The float includes a manual inflation value configured to provide a passageway for adding gas to the at least one internal chamber and a deflation valve configured to provide a passageway for releasing gas from the at least one internal chamber. A float attachment member is attached to the float, such that when the float is placed in the body of water, the float attachment member is underwater. | 01-16-2014 |
| 20140140862 | INTAKE AND DELIVERY MODULE FOR A FLUID AND ASSOCIATED SYSTEM FOR TREATMENT OF SAID FLUID - The invention relates to an intake and delivery module for a fluid, in particular water for a swimming pool or more generally for a tank, and an associated system for treatment of said associated fluid. It makes it possible to facilitate the installation and the activation of the system for treatment of the fluid of a tank, to generate a sufficient output of fluid, to decrease the number of pieces of equipment and to prevent any damage to the treatment means. The fluid intake and delivery module comprises an intake port which co-operates with a proximal part of a fluid outlet conduit and a delivery port which co-operates with a proximal part of a fluid inlet conduit. It also includes a self-priming pump which co-operates with the fluid outlet conduit downstream of the intake port. | 05-22-2014 |
| 20150086389 | PUMPING SYSTEM - According to embodiments described in the specification, a pumping system for use in a tailings pond is provided. The pumping system comprises a pump support and at least one mooring element coupled to the pump support. The at least one mooring element has an extended position for fixing the pump support to a bed of the tailings pond, and a retracted position for permitting movement of the pump support towards a shore of the tailings pond. The at least one mooring element is configured for transitioning from the extended position to the retracted position when a distance from the shore to the pump support exceeds a threshold as a result of a change to tailings pond geometry, and for returning to the extended position following movement of the pump support to reduce the distance below the threshold. | 03-26-2015 |
| 20150132151 | WATER LEVEL FLOW SPEED-INCREASING GENERATING STATION, POWER STATION, WATER SUPPLY STATION, AND OFFSHORE FLOATING CITY - The present invention relates to the field of hydraulic machinery, and relates to, by using the law of motion conversion and Bernoulli's equation, a generating station formed with a water level speed-increasing water tunnel set on a special ship or offshore floating city increasing a natural flow velocity V1≦1 msec of a water source to a high speed of V2≧200 msec to propel a turbine, and drive a generator; a power station formed with the turbine driving various load machinery; and a water supply station formed with an outlet of the speed-increasing water tunnel being connected to a lift tube. Hence, the present invention can replace high dams of a small number, to convert planar flow dynamics of wide rivers, seas, and oceans into inexhaustible, cheap, clean, and sustainable energy, which is a major theme project of the third industrial revolution. | 05-14-2015 |
| 20150308433 | Inlet Sieve for Self-Priming Floating Pumps - An inlet sieve for a self-priming floating pump features a bottom wall that is carried in a position that underlies the inlet of the self-priming floating pump at a distance therebelow with the inlet of the pump aligned with an axis that passes through the bottom wall of the sieve. A perforated outer wall of the sieve stands upward from a top side of the bottom wall and extends about the axis. The bottom wall features an outer area that spans inwardly from the perforated outer wall toward the axis, and a protuberance that bulges upwardly from the outer area to an apex of the protuberance that is situated at the axis. Water flowing inwardly toward the protuberance from different radial directions is directed smoothly upward into the inlet of the pump with minimal turbulence in order to optimize the performance of the pump. | 10-29-2015 |
