Title: Improvements in or relating to well abandonment and slot recovery
Inventor: MICHAEL WARDLEY
IPC: E21B47/005
Filed: 2017-12-20
Abstract: Method of abandoning a well leaving production tubing 7 and control lines 15 in place. Tubing 7 is perforated at a zone of interest. The tubing 7, casing 33 and annulus 18 can be washed to remove debris and residual fluids after perforation. An acid soluble settable composition (21, fig 2c) is injected through the perforations into the annulus 18 and allowed to set to support the tubing 7 and secure control lines 15 so that they can be cut and milled away to expose the casing 33. The zone of interest is washed with an acid wash to dissolve the settable composition, cleaning the zone for a cement bond log (CBL). A cement bond log is performed on the exposed casing and if the quality of the cement bond is acceptable a cement plug is deployed. If quality of cement bond is not adequate, the process can be repeated at a shallower depth. A self-supporting settable composition can be used when the zone is spaced from a seal or packer.

Title: Method and apparatus for encapsulating images with proprietary information in a file
Inventor: NAËL OUEDRAOGO
IPC: G06F16/78
Filed: 2018-04-05
Abstract: A method of encapsulating images in a file comprises, for at least one image: generating one or more property data structures associated with the image(s) and comprising vendor identification information (e.g. company or corporation name) and proprietary information (e.g. manufacturer-specific camera or other device type data, capture/processing conditions, etc) related to the image; and embedding the property data structure and the images in the file. Proprietary information may affect or not affect image rendering. Vendor information may comprise a vendor name identifier (ID) and a parameter identifying the type of proprietary information or type of property in the property data structure. An item property container may be generated comprising plural property data structures, ordered with any descriptive data structures followed by any (e.g. colour) transformative data structures; a specific property data structure may be inserted between descriptive and transformative data structures, or after the last ordered descriptive structure, i.e. signaling the following, transformative, data structures. A further parameter can indicate whether the property is essential for image rendering. Syntax parameters, descriptive of proprietary information, may be generated and embedded.

Title: Energy storage system for powertrains of machines
Inventor: EVAN EARL JACOBSON
IPC: B60W10/02
Filed: 2018-04-10
Abstract: A powertrain system 170 for a machine includes a transmission unit 178 that varies speed of the machine in discrete steps, and a differential unit 182 that receives the transmission unit's rotary power. Further, a flywheel 222 is coupled with the differential unit, a planetary gear assembly 220 transfers power between the differential unit and the flywheel, and a clutch 226 selectively transfers power between the flywheel and the differential unit through the planetary gear assembly. A motor 224 selectively powers a rotation of the flywheel. Moreover, a controller 300 detects a predetermined discrete step, controls the clutch to disable a power transfer between the differential unit and the flywheel based on the predetermined discrete step, activates the motor to rotate the flywheel up to a speed, and controls the clutch to enable a power transfer from the flywheel to the differential unit, during a shift from the predetermined discrete step to a succeeding discrete step. This ensures that torque continues to be transmitted to the differential (and thus the rear wheels) during gear changes, thereby avoiding torque holes and allowing the machine to maintain a constant speed. This may be especially useful for grader machines.

Title: Improved injection device
Inventor: DONALD WILLIAM STEEL
IPC: A61M5/32
Filed: 2020-02-14
Abstract: An injection device 10 with an outer housing 12 receiving a syringe 14 with a barrel 16 for containing medicament, a stopper 18, plunger rod 38, and needle 20. A needle shield 22 is axially moveable relative to the outer housing between a forward needle covering position and a rearward needle exposing position. The needle shield is biased 24 forwardly toward the needle covering position. A locking sleeve 28 is movable between a forward non-locking position and a rearward locking position. When the plunger rod is moved forwards, a locking member 66 moves from a first position to a second position. In the second position, the locking member selectively limits movement of the locking sleeve. In a first configuration, the needle shield covers the needle, the locking sleeve is in the non-locking position and the needle shield can slide rearwardly within the locking sleeve. In a subsequent configuration, the needle shield is in the needle covering position and the locking sleeve is in the locking position, so the needle is prevented from moving rearward by interference with the locking sleeve. The locking member may comprise shunt arms which are engageable with protrusions on the plunger rod.
