      <title>METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DIRECTION OF SOLID BODIES IN PIPELINE</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/18195</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Some or all of a number of large solid bodies being transported in successive order in a pipeline stream are diverted into another pipeline stream, or the bodies are separated into a number of other pipeline streams by selectively injecting jets of liquid into the pipeline for impingement on the bodies at a suitable location.]]></description>

      <title>HOW FLUIDICS CONTROL PIPELINE BOOSTER</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/19433</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Design and construction of a prototype fluidic control system for a pipeline booster station was carried out for Snam Progetti S.p.A. in collaboration with Pignone Sud S.p.A.  The control problem, the fluidic elements used, and the operation are described.  Over 1000 start-stop sequences were performed with no uncertainty, demonstrating the high reliability of the system.]]></description>

      <title>PROPORTIONAL SPEED FLOATING SYSTEMS IMPROVES LIQUID PIPE LINE CONTROL</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/19444</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The jet pipe principle is illustrated, and its application to move the piston of a control valve is described.  The jet pipe swings in response to the magnitude of the controlled variable, causing the speed of correction to be directly proportional to the amount of the error.  The control is "floating" because there is no fixed relationship between the value of the controlled variable and the position of the final control element.  It is possible for the control valve to operate in a wide open position until a pressure limit is exceeded, and then to throttle the flow to restore the pressure to the preset limit.]]></description>

      <title>COMPUTER SIMULATION ANALYSES DESIGN OF INDUSTRIAL COMPLEXES</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/19580</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The advantages of and methods of implementing computer simulation modeling are reviewed, and three sample applications are presented, including a deterministic model of hydraulic transients for long-distance pipelines; a stochastic model used to estimate pipeline reliability as a function of electrical-storm outages; and a stochastic model of an LNG complex consisting of a liquefaction plant, a tanker fleet, and two regasification facilities.]]></description>

      <title>A PIPELINE SHUTOFF PIG</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/18173</link>
      <description><![CDATA[A pipeline shutoff pig for closing the interior of the pipeline in response to a radio signal includes an inflatable toroidal seal attached to the body, an inflatable cylindrical member in the flow opening of the torus, a valve for inflating the seal in response to a first signal was gas stored in the body, and another valve for venting the gas from the seal in response to a second signal.]]></description>
