Toru Takehara - San Mateo CA, US
Kinya Ichimura - Foster City CA, US
Assignee:
Paceco Corp. - Hayward CA
International Classification:
B66B 1/06
US Classification:
187290, 187297
Abstract:
A method for energy storage and recovery for load hoisting equipment driven by a diode controlled DC motor and having an inverter controlling an induction motor which drives a flywheel whereby, utilizing rest power such as reverse power from the DC motor when lowering a load and unused power at small load or idle to accelerate rotation of a flywheel, whereby energy is stored, and the system is reversed when a load is lifted and power is consumed whereby the flywheel causes the induction motor to generate power and deliver it to the DC motor.

Rubber-Tire Gantry Crane With Shore Power

View page
US Patent:
8061495, Nov 22, 2011
Filed:
Nov 20, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/986326
Inventors:
Kinya Ichimura - Foster City CA, US
Assignee:
Paceco Corp. - Hayward CA
International Classification:
B60L 9/00
B61B 3/00
US Classification:
191 33R, 104 98
Abstract:
An apparatus for coupling power from shore power to a rubber tire gantry (RTG) crane comprises a power junction trolley and optionally an RTG crane. The power junction trolley receives power through a high voltage cable or alternatively through an inductive power coupling and alternatively outputs a low AC or a low DC voltage through a flexible power cable for connection to an RTG crane. A guiding apparatus directs the power junction trolley along a selected path so as to reduce a control accuracy requirement for the RTG crane. The RTG crane may move from a selected path to another selected path without interrupting a high voltage connection. The power junction trolley optionally determines its position relative to a selected path comprising a guide rail in some embodiments and a guide wire in others. Embodiments of the power junction trolley are alternately self-propelled or towed by the RTG crane.

International Classification:
G01N 23/04
US Classification:
212270, 212325, 378 57, 4141403
Abstract:
A method for nonintrusive scanning of cargo containers quay side while the containers are being transferred between ship and land transportation utilizing a mobile cargo container handling buffer crane having a bridge crane mounted thereon for transferring cargo containers between a ship and land transportation with an intermediate transfer position whereby a suspended container can be noninvasively inspected by a longitudinally reciprocating container traversing radiation emitter apparatus.

Energy Storage Method For Load Hoisting Machinery

View page
US Patent:
20050173198, Aug 11, 2005
Filed:
Feb 6, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/773484
Inventors:
Toru Takehara - San Mateo CA, US
Kinya Ichimura - Foster City CA, US
International Classification:
B66B001/00
H02P003/14
US Classification:
187277000, 318376000
Abstract:
A method for energy storage and recovery for load hoisting equipment powered by an induction hoist motor controlled by a first inverter and having a dual inverter controlling a capacitor utilizing rest power such as reverse power generated from the motor when lowering a load, and unused power at small load or idle, to charge the capacitor whereby energy is stored in the capacitor and the system is reversed when a load is lifted and power is consumed whereby the capacitor is discharged to deliver power to the hoist motor.

Relocatable Radiation Shield For A Container Scanner

View page
US Patent:
20090108216, Apr 30, 2009
Filed:
Oct 31, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/982111
Inventors:
Kinya Ichimura - Foster City CA, US
Philip Tam - Union City CA, US
International Classification:
G21F 5/00
US Classification:
2505151
Abstract:
A shield for radiation used for scanning freight containers is relocatable by cranes and lifts found in freight terminals. The relocatable radiation shield comprises a shield block having at least one solid shielding layer. A layer of the relocatable shield is adapted to hold a shielding fluid for altering a shielding property of the relocatable shield. The fluid-containing layer may optionally be a fluid container attached to or partially embedded within the shield block. The shielding fluid may be removed to reduce the weight of the relocatable radiation shield. In some embodiments the relocatable shield has a channel large enough for passage of a freight container on a conveyance such as a railroad car. An extended shielding structure for shielding a selected path may be assembled from two or more relocatable radiation shields. Some embodiments of a relocatable radiation shield include a freight container.
