Inventor: KACY KLAUS
IPC: G05D13/00
Filed: 2006-10-27
Granted: 2011-09-13
Abstract: A method of damping the oscillations during an emergency stop of an ascending single drum hoist system in a shaft having a conveyance, the mechanical brakes applying a braking force to the drum and the drum rotating in a first direction having a speed, comprising applying a first brake force when the drum speed reaches close to zero enabling the drum to roll back in an opposite direction to the first direction by a force generated from a first conveyance downward swing, and controlling the brake force during the first conveyance downward swing to dissipate the energy of the swing.
Patent CA-2567399-C (CA)
Inventor: NENNIGER JOHN
IPC: C10G1/04

Granted: 2009-01-27
Abstract: A method and apparatus for stimulating heavy oil production from an oil bearing formation. The method includes the steps of placing a downhole heater in the formation adjacent to the oil producing zone to heat heat transfer fluid and then energizing the downhole heater. The method further includes the step of passing the heat transfer fluid through the heater to heat the heat transfer fluid and then injecting the heat transfer fluid into the oil bearing formation. This brings the heated fluid into contact with the oil to increase the flowability by decreasing the effective viscosity of the oil. In this manner, an oil extraction chamber can be quickly formed in the oil bearing formation. In another aspect of the invention, the apparatus, includes a source of energy and flow through heater connected to the source of energy. The flow through heater is attached to the end of coil tubing, and placed downhole. The apparatus further includes a control system for monitoring the heater, a source of injection fluid, a pump to inject the injection fluid and a pressure reducer on the exit of the heater, to maintain fluid pressure in the heater for efficient heat transfer.

Title: Embeddable polarimetric fiber optic sensor and method for monitoring of structures
Inventor: WILLIAMS JEFFERY LEE
IPC: G01B9/02
Filed: 2005-10-17
Granted: 2012-10-02
Abstract: The present invention provides the capability of ascertaining, through a quick and simple measurement, locations on a structure that may have experienced damage that could result in reduced structure lifetime, strength, or reliability. The sensing element is a connectorized section of polarization maintaining ("PM") optical fiber, where a length of PM fiber represents a fully distributed sensor array. Stress-induced changes to the sensor are measured through white-light Polarimetric interferometry. The output of the measurement is a data array representing the stress concentration magnitude at an array of locations along the length of the sensor. In an application, the knowledge of the optical fiber position on the structure, coupled with the measurement of stress locations along the fiber length, allows the user to determine locations on the structure with large stress concentrations. These locations may signify structural damage. This knowledge would allow the user to employ a more sophisticated system, albeit a larger and slower one, to fully characterize and evaluate that area of potential damage and take appropriate action.

Abstract: Apparatus and methodology for inserting an intraocular lens (IOL) into an eye.  The apparatus includes a cartridge for holding an IOL and a handpiece with a body member for receiving the cartridge, an injector rod that is receivable by the body member, and a drive mechanism that longitudinally oscillates the injector rod in the body member when a rotational force is applied about a longitudinal axis in a single direction. In other words, a constant rotation in a single direction of the drive mechanism causes the injector rod to move distally and proximally in discrete increments, with the distal increments being larger than the proximal increments. Accordingly, the injector rod urges an IOL out of the handpiece in a two-steps-forward, one-step-back manner, thereby minimizing or eliminating the chance of the injector rod engaging with the IOL.

Abstract: A linear electric motor has a fixed primary comprising a stator that is divided into a number of sections, a translating secondary that has an operative length that is longer than any two adjacent sections of the stator in the form of a reaction plate, and a connecting means for connecting only those sections of the stator that are covered, either fully or partially, by the reaction plate. The stator sections are categorised in three groups - two groups of representative sections and an ordinary group of sections. The first and second representative sections alternate with ordinary sections between them. The position of the reaction plate relative to the stator is determined by monitoring current in the active representative sections. The length of the reaction plate is equal to the distance from the beginning of a first representative stator section to the end of the ordinary stator section immediately following the next second representative stator section. Power is supplied to each stator section individually, with power being supplied in a modulated manner to end active stator sections that are only partially covered by the reaction plate. Current to the first and second representative sections is used to determine the position of the stator as well as measurement of the inductance of the stator sections.

Abstract: An end-of-service life indicator for a sorbent filter includes a tube containing a noble metal nanoparticle film on an optically transparent substrate, the substrate being perpendicular to the axis of the tube. An opening in the tube adjacent to the film allows chemical vapor to accumulate in the tube and be absorbed by the film. A light source located at one end of the tube and a light detector at the other end determines the amount of light absorbed by the nanoparticle film due to exposure to chemical vapor. A signal from the light detector is applied to an electronic processor that determines attenuation of light by the film, and the processor is connected to an indicator to provide an indication of the exposure of the film to the vapor.

Abstract: A method of forming a hydrogen transport membrane in which isolated deposits of palladium, a palladium alloy or a component of such alloy are produced on a surface of the porous ceramic support that bridge pores within the porous ceramic support without penetrating the pores and without bridging regions of the surface defined between the pores. The isolated deposits of the metal are produced by an electroless plating process that involves contacting the porous ceramic support with a precipitating agent so that the precipitating agent fills the pores but does not seep out of the pores onto the regions of the surfaces defined between the pores. The surface is then contacted with a salt solution containing a salt of the metal so that said metal precipitates and produces the isolated deposits. Thereafter, a dense layer of palladium, palladium alloy ,is formed on the surface having the isolated deposits.
