Title: Hydrogen peroxide capacitor process for the recovery of hydrocarbons
Inventor: PEARCE DAVID
IPC: C10G1/04
Filed: 2007-11-06
Abstract: The method relates generally to an improved method of the recovery of hydro-carbons from bitumen/oil deposits such as oil sands, tar sands, oil shales and conventional oil deposits. The method charges the silicon particles thus repulsing the oil, at the same time the hydrogen peroxide selectively reacts with metals, metal compounds and the charged silicon particles giving off energy and oxygen which then floats the oil to the surface. By reacting with the organo-metallic compounds it destroys them thus freeing the oil from transition metals producing a much cleaner product.

Abstract: Apparatus for bending stock to an acute angle. A  hydraulic cylinder with a ram extendable under hydraulic pressure provides the bending power. The ram automatically retracts from an extended position when hydraulic pressure is removed. One end of an apparatus supporting arm consists of a slide bar. The slide bar end of the arm is secured to a support with the opposite end pivotably mounting a forming die and a lever. The lever pivotably mounts a forming roller.  The lever carries the forming roller around the die and bend stock secured to the die around the die. A slide is slideably attached to the slide bar. The cylinder and ram are pivotably attached extending between the slide and the lever. With this arrangement providing hydraulic pressure to extend the ram will rotate the lever and forming roller around the die and bend secured stock around the die, then removing pressure will retract the ram and move the slide with the attached cylinder and ram towards the die where the slide is automatically locked in place. This permits making an acute angle bend by successive bends with the cylinder and ram at two different locations with respect to the die.

Abstract: A method for removing a weld crown from a weld joint between first and second work pieces includes steps of positioning a rotary milling tool proximate to the joint and at an offset angle to set a cutting arc relative to the joint.  The milling tool is positioned so the cutting arc intersects the weld crown, weld toes, and parent metal on each side of the weld joint. As the milling tool traverses the joint to cut away the weld crown, the milling tool may tilt from side to side to compensate for misalignment between the work pieces along the weld joint. An apparatus for weld crown removal holds a milling tool at an offset angle, and provides a tracking mechanism to permit the milling tool to track misalignment between the work pieces, maintaining the cutting arc in intersection with the weld toes and parent metal along the weld joint.
