Filed: 2008-10-14
Abstract: La présente divulgation porte sur un reformeur d'hydrocarbures à vapeur étagé, pourvu d'une chambre contenant les étages du reformeur chauffés par convection. Les étages du reformeur sont constitués de tubes contenant un catalyseur de reformage à la vapeur. Les étages sont en communication mutuelle fluide en série au moyen de récipients de mélange placés entre chaque étage. Le premier étage de reformage est alimenté d'un mélange de vapeur et d'hydrocarbures gazeux. Des gaz partiellement reformés qui présentent une concentration en hydrogène accrue sont produits à chaque étage et sont mélangés à des hydrocarbures gazeux supplémentaires et, facultativement, à de la vapeur dans les récipients de mélange. La collecte et la distribution d'orgues assurent une communication fluide entre les étages du reformeur et les récipients de mélange. Une méthode est également divulguée concernant le mélange de gaz partiellement reformé à partir d'un étage précédent, avec des hydrocarbures gazeux et de la vapeur dont le rapport vapeur/carbone est inférieur à celui du contenu fraîchement alimenté par l'étage précédent.

Patent CA-2645243-A1 (CA)
Inventor: STAUDHAMMER MARITA
IPC: C08G18/30
Filed: 2007-03-09
Abstract: A fluorine-modified additive having a content of isocyanate and also urethane and/or urea groups is described. It has been found that, surprisingly, the inventive fluorine-modified additive, even at very low dosage, is outstandingly suitable for permanent hydrophobic and/or oleophobic and/or soil-repellent in-bulk modification of products based on inorganic or hydraulic or mineral binders, without significantly influencing the fundamental property profile (for example compressive and flexural strengths) of these products. In addition, it was not foreseeable that, in the products treated with the inventive fluorine-modified additives (for example hardened building materials), a significantly lower water absorption (prevention of frost damage and corrosion) and suppression of blooms on the surface (prevention of visual impairments) are observed. Moreover, it could not have been expected that, in spite of the high fluorine modification, there is sufficient self-dispersibility.

Title: Reclosable vacuum-tight pouch and resealable vacuum-tight closure mechanism therefor
Inventor: DAIS BRIAN C
IPC: B65D33/25
Filed: 2009-06-19
Abstract: A resealable vacuum-tight closure mechanism comprises a first closure element that includes a first base and a second closure element that includes a second base. A first contact surface on a first interlocking profile depends from the first base and a second contact surface on a second interlocking profile depends from the second base. The first and second contact surfaces provide a maximum occlusion distance when the first and second interlocking profiles are in an occluded state. A first sealing member extends from the first base, has a first length, is spacedly disposed from the first interlocking profile, and has a first sealing surface disposed thereon. A second sealing member extends from the second base, has a second length, is spacedly disposed from the second interlocking profile, and has a second sealing surface disposed thereon that is complementary to the first sealing surface. A sealing reservoir protrusion is disposed between the first sealing member and the first interlocking profile and has a volume sufficient to form a first gastight seal in a first occluded space between the first and second closure elements and bounded by the first and second occluded sealing members and the first and second occluded interlocking profiles upon formation of an end-stomp at an end of the first and second closure elements.  A sum of the first and second lengths of the respective first and second sealing members is greater than or about equal to a length necessary to maintain a second gastight seal between the first and second sealing surfaces when the first and second interlocking profiles are in the occluded state.

Title: Geothermal power system
Inventor: ROGERS WILLIAM H
IPC: F24J3/08
Filed: 2009-09-22
Abstract: A geothermal system in deep, hot, dry rock has closed loop circulation, in which the water and steam circulating in the system are protected from any direct contact with the base rock. The system has a single L-shaped bore with a casing that lines the wellbore and has a sealed bottom end. A tubing within the casing has an open bottom end. Water or other liquid or gas is injected under pressure into the casing in the space between the casing and the tubing and is heated by the deep hot rock strata, creating heated liquid or gas which flows into the tubing through its open bottom end and is returned to the surface for use for heating, or in a power plant, or other applications. In a reverse configuration, the working fluid is injected into the tubing and is returned via the space between the casing and the tubing.

Title: Em-guided drilling relative to an existing borehole
Inventor: BITTAR MICHAEL S
IPC: E21B47/022
Filed: 2008-01-18
Abstract: Parallel drilling systems and methods suitable for drilling wells for steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD). In some method embodiments, a tilted-antenna tool gathers azimuthally- sensitive electromagnetic signal measurements. Such measurements enable accurate measurement of inter-well distance and direction, thereby providing the necessary information for drilling accurately-spaced wells having reduced vulnerability to 'short-circuits' that inhibit effective reservoir exploitation. In some other method embodiments, a tilted-antenna tool transmits azimuthally non-uniform signals as it rotates. The attenuation and azimuthal variation detected by one or more receivers enables accurate direction and distance determination. The transmitter and receiver antennas can in some cases be combined into a single tool, while in other cases the transmitters and receivers are placed in separate wells to increase detection range.
