Title: Valve and vent cap
Inventor: MAJKOVIC DAVOR
IPC: E21B21/10
Filed: 2000-04-14
Abstract: A valve is disclosed which can be used for controlling drilling mud flow by connection between a kelly and a drill pipe. The valve has first and second pistons 28, 60 reciprocably retained within a housing 10 having a longitudinal axis. The pistons both move axially and co-operate to open a valve fluid port or flow bore 22, 24, when fluid flow exerts pressure.

The first piston 28 may be cammed 52, 54 to rotate about the longitudinal axis of the housing upon axial movement. There may be alignment pins 76 residing in axial slots 72, 74 to prevent rotation of the second piston when it moves axially. The pistons may have end plates 32, 64 having complementary fluid flow apertures 40, 70 which are aligned or misaligned by rotation of the first piston 28 with respect to the second piston 60. The end plates 32, 64 may be secured to the piston in a keyed relation and may be replaceable. There is also disclosed a frangible vent cap 100 having a radially outwardly protruding lip 110 to aid insertion into an opening and to prevent its withdrawal from the opening. The vent cap may have fluid flow openings 106 which open when the cap moves axially within a valve.

Patent GB-2366335-A (GB)
Title: Dispense valve
Inventor: HEYES KEITH JAMES
IPC: F04B13/00
Filed: 2000-08-22
Abstract: A beverage dispensing valve (10) comprises a diluent inlet (14) leading to a lower (first) chamber (22) and a syrup inlet (12), leading via a one way suction valve (34) to an upper (second) chamber (20). A diaphragm (26), connected between the chamber walls (28) and a piston (24) separates the upper and lower chambers (20, 22). The piston (24) controls the diluent flow from an outlet (30) of the chamber (22) to a dispense nozzle (32). Movement of the piston (24) in a direction to open outlet (30) causes the diaphragm (26) to force syrup out of the upper chamber (20) to the dispense nozzle (32) and movement of the piston (24) in a direction to close outlet (30) causes the diaphragm (26) to suck syrup into the upper chamber (20). The piston (24) may be reciprocated between two open positions of the diluent outlet (30) to pulse syrup from the upper chamber (20) while continually dispensing diluent. The valve (10) provides means to accurately and reliably meter the desired ratios of syrup to diluent.

IPC: A61F13/15
Filed: 1998-08-13
Abstract: An ostomy pouch (10) includes a front wall (12) provided with a comfort layer (16) and a vent (22). In a preferred embodiment, an apertured cover layer (24) is secured to the front wall (12) through the comfort layer (16) to define a chamber for a filter element (28) and to provide a smooth surface to which can be applied an adhesive sticker. The cover layer (24) includes a plurality of apertures (30), and the flow rate through the vent can be controlled by positioning the sticker to selectively block one or more of the apertures (30). An adhesive wafer (40) may include both circular and non-circular (race-track) cutout guidelines for enabling the aperture to be cut to any desired shape and size. The wafer (40) is secured to the pouch along a weld line having a shape corresponding to a combined circular and race-track silhouette.

Title: Liner sliver retrieval for multilateral wells using a washover pipe and a fishing device
Inventor: DAVIES JOHN P
IPC: E21B31/16
Filed: 2000-12-21
Abstract: A method and device for removing a liner fragment (30) includes the use of a washover pipe (18) having a rotary shoe (28) and a fishing device within the washover pipe (18). In use, the device is lowered into the wellbore until rotary shoe (28) contacts the upper end (24) of liner (22). Rotation of the device causes the rotary shoe (28) to cut through the liner (22) and washover whipstock (32) freeing the liner fragment (30, fig 3). The device is lowered further to enable spear (16) to enter the upper end (24) of the liner fragment (30). Shear pins (52, fig 1c) are sheared to allow the force cone (54) to be pulled upward to allow the spear (16) to engage the liner fragment (30). Raising of the device allows the liner fragment (30, fig 5) to be raised within the washover pipe (18). Mechanically (figs 2-5) and hydraulically (figs 6-9) activated versions of the device are described and allow cutting the end of a liner in a lateral wellbore, washing over the whipstock and retrieving the liner fragment in one trip.
