Title: Swivelling device for a downhole rod pump
Inventor: WALKER LLOYD
IPC: F04C2/08
Filed: 2007-05-02
Granted: 2014-06-17
Abstract: A swivelling device is provided for picking up or backing off a drive string after it has been stuck in a down hole. The device allows the drive string to move longitudinally and rotate. The device has a shaft rotatably mounted in a housing so that the shaft can freely rotate but can not move radially or axially relative to the housing. A frame support is moveably connected to the housing and has an aperture that is attachable to a support system capable of lifting up the drive string. A pair of biasing mechanisms bias the housing towards the frame support. When a downward force is applied to the shaft by the drive string, the housing can be displaced downwards away from the support frame. Once the downward force ceases, the biasing mechanism moves the housing back towards the support frame.

Title: Standoff compensation for imaging in oil-based muds
Inventor: SAN MARTIN LUIS E
IPC: G01V3/00
Filed: 2006-09-07
Granted: 2014-08-12
Abstract: Disclosed logging systems include a logging tool in communication with surface computing facilities. The logging tool is provided with a sensor array having at least two voltage electrodes positioned between two current electrodes. The two current electrodes are each shielded with conductive shields to prevent current leakage into the logging tool body. A common mode voltage is measured, and the phase and amplitude of the excitation source is controlled to reduce the difference between the common mode voltage and reference voltage of a voltage detector. The logging tool is further provided with electronics coupled to the voltage detector and the current electrodes to determine a differential voltage between the voltage electrodes and current flows from the current electrodes. From the differential voltage and multiple current flows, the computing facilities determine, and may display, the resistivity as a borehole wall image.

Title: Prosthetic valve crimping device
Inventor: SPENSER BENJAMIN
IPC: A61F2/24
Filed: 2006-09-11
Granted: 2013-12-31
Abstract: An improved crimping mechanism well-suited for use with stented prosthetic heart valves. The crimping mechanism includes a plurality of jaws (1) configured for linear non-rotational movement toward a central axis (10). A  rotational plate (3) is formed with a plurality of spiral grooves or tracks (14) for engaging the jaws. Rotational movement of the spiral tracks produces linear movement of the jaws. Nesting of the inner ends of the jaws permits each to be acted on along different radial lines while their inner faces move together evenly to reduce the crimping aperture in a smooth fashion. The crimping mechanism is particularly well-suited for use with stented prosthetic heart valves, such as a prosthetic aortic valve, though it can also be applied to other stented heart valves, venous valves, and even stent grafts which tend to be fairly large.
