Inventor: DEATON THOMAS M
IPC: E21B34/06
Filed: 2001-01-29
Abstract: An apparatus and method of operating devices (such as devices in a wellbore (10) or other types of devices) utilizes actuators (300, 400, 600) having expandable elements. Such expandable elements may include piezoelectric elements (306), magnetostrictive elements (406), and heat-expandable elements (602). Piezoelectric elements (306) are expandable by application of an electrical voltage; magnetostrictive elements (406) are expandable by application of a magnetic field (which may be generated by a solenoid (404) in response to an electrical current); and heat-expandable elements (602) are expandable by heat energy (e.g., infrared energy or microwave energy). The expandable elements are abutted to an operator member (152) such that when the expandable element expands, the operator member (152) is moved in a first direction, and when the expandable element contracts, the operator member (152) moves in an opposite direction.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for treatment of wastewater. More particularly, the methods of the present invention are designed for the biological removal from wastewater of contamination in the form of insoluble suspended solids and soluble and insoluble organic and inorganic material, including nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients. A wastewater treatment process is described, which process is a hybrid continuous flow, cyclic operating, substantially constant level, activated sludge process with a symmetric functional cycle. In this functional cycle each compartment of a reactor is subsequently in a different functional phases, which functional phases are continuously separated: phase 1, phase 2, phase 3, phase 4, phase 1, phase 2, phase 3, phase 4, etc. . . . The symmetric functional cycle allows for symmetric (equal) influent distribution and therefore symmetric sludge and oxygen demand distribution.

Abstract: The flow of the deris sucked in together with air is guided towards the suction inlet port (4) of the vacuum cleaner by means of a guide (2) placed inside the brush (1). The guide (2) consists of symmetrical concave lateral edges (6) and a suction inlet port window (5) with an opening which matches with teh suction inlet port (4). As the lateral edges (6) of the guide (2) are inclined at a certain degree, the losses that may occur at the flow region are minimized. The guide (2) is so placed along the brush (1) that its opening is at the base of the brush. The ssuction inlet port window (5) prov,ded at the upper portion of the guide (2) overlaps with teh suction inlet port (4) and it ahs a width that matches with the suction inlet port (4). Furthermore, pressure losses are avoided by preventing the dirt laden air from entering the undesired regions of the brush (1) by means of the guide (2).

Abstract: An improved method of imprint lithography involves using direct fluid pressure to press the mold into a substrate-supported film (A). Advantageously the mold and/or substrate are sufficiently flexible to provide wide area contact under the fluid pressure (C). Fluid pressing can be accomplished by sealing the mold against the film and disposing the resulting assembly in a pressurized chamber. It can also be accomplished by subjecting the mold to jets of pressurized fluid. The result of this fluid pressing is enhanced resolution and high uniformity over an enlarged area.

Abstract: A thermal barrier enclosure system (10), comprising one or more thermal barriers. The thermal barrier enclosure system (10) is used to control the temperature in a shipping container or a refrigerator. Thermal control is achieved with one or more thermal control barriers comprised of an insulation barrier (20), a temperature sensitive device (22, 60), and a thermal conduit through which energy flows. The combination of the temperature sensitive device and thermal conduit forms a thermal regulator (22) that varies the thermal energy flow as the regulator is operated from its open to its closed position, and vise versa. A thermal control barrier with a reverse acting thermal regulator (60) can also be used to cool an energy storage material (58) and then to thermally insulate that material when the cooling source (23) is removed.
