A piston rod (15) and a first piston (13) are arranged in the interior of an external cylinder (11) and internal cylinder (12); a second piston for absorbing the change of volume of operating fluid (24) is also arranged therein. Also, a first return spring (18) for returning the piston rod (15) to the interruption position is provided and a second return spring (20) for returning the operating fluid 24 into the high-pressure chamber (25) by pressurizing the second piston (14) is provided. In addition, the air in the interior of the buffering device (10) is withdrawn by a vacuum pump (38), and operating fluid (24) is thus introduced in a degassed condition.

A rotary compressor (100) includes a closed casing (1), a cylinder (15), a piston (28), a lower bearing member (7), a vane (33), a suction port (20), a discharge port (41), and a partition member (10). The partition member (10) is attached to the lower bearing member (7) so as to form a refrigerant discharge space (52) serving as a flow path of a refrigerant discharged from a discharge chamber (26b) through the discharge port (41). The lower bearing member (7) is provided with a first recess (7t) on the same side as the suction port (20) with respect to a reference plane, the reference plane being a plane including a central axis of the cylinder (15) and a center of the vane (33) when the vane (33) protrudes maximally toward the central axis of the cylinder (15). A portion of oil stored in an oil reservoir (22) flows into the first recess (7t), and thereby an oil retaining portion (53) is formed.

A bent and twisted mobile phone support, a bendable part of the mobile phone support being made according to the bendability of some articles, has three or more supporting legs, the spacing between the supporting legs of the support can be adjusted by bending the supporting legs; and has two or more support-stop hooks, extending or protruding forward from a planar structure. Because a deformation part twisted or rotated is distributed on a relatively long connecting arm or supporting leg or twisting rod and is not easy to break by repeated bending and twisting, the support-stop hooks do not need to be bent again after being extended by the twisting or rotating of the supporting legs or connecting arms.

In hybrid electric vehicles having increased battery storage capacity and plug-in capability, electric-only operation of significant duration is available. To supplement lubrication for the electric and mechanical components provided in a fluid circuit by an engine-driven mechanical pump, an electric pump is provided in parallel to the mechanical pump. When the electric pump is operating, a diagnostic can be performed to determine system integrity. According to one embodiment, an actual quantity provide to the circuit is determined; an expected quantity is estimated; and a fault is determined when the actual and expected quantities differ by more than a predetermined amount. The fault may indicate a leak or plug in the fluid circuit or a failure of a component in the fluid circuit.

System and method for a permanent monitoring and control automation system for a well includes a grease tank including a storage container configured to hold grease, sensors for measuring grease volume in the grease tank and pressure levels, and a pump for greasing a valve at a pre-set pressure level value using grease from the grease tank. The system further includes a greasing control system for monitoring parameters, inputting parameters into an artificial intelligence model, determining pumping rate, volume, and time schedule, predicting a greasing maintenance schedule, and pumping grease. The greasing control system includes a computer processor connected to a remote terminal unit and a supervisory control and data acquisition. The system further includes an alert system for transmitting alarms to notify a user of system status. The alarms include low grease level on the valve, operational status, alert type, system malfunction, and grease tank low level.

Methods and apparatus to remove liquid from a housing are disclosed. An example system includes a pump including a chamber, a shaft positioned at least partially in the chamber, and a bearing to support the shaft, the chamber including a chamber inlet and a chamber outlet, the chamber to hold a fluid in a first state, a first conduit to carry the fluid in a second state of the fluid, the first conduit fluidly coupled to the chamber inlet, a second conduit to carry the fluid in the first state of the fluid, the second conduit fluidly coupled to the chamber outlet, at least one jet pump to deliver a mixture of the fluid in the first state of the fluid and the second state of the fluid to a third conduit, and a heat exchanger coupled to the first conduit upstream of the first inlet.
