Patent CA-2538002-A1 (CA)
Title: Improved screen nozzle
Inventor: DOWSETT MURRAY FRANK
IPC: B01D29/48
Filed: 2004-09-10
Abstract: A screen nozzle for a media retention screen is disclosed which includes a nipple, a bottom cover, a top cover, and a cylindrical screen element sandwiched between the top and bottom covers. The top cover is secured to the bottom cover by means of a threaded rod extending from either the bottom cover or the nipple through the interior of the screen through an aperture in the top cover with the top cover being retained in place by a nut or the like. The nipple is secured to the bottom cover by swaging and the threaded rod is welded to the bottom cover. Assembling the screen element using an internal threaded rod has two substantial advantages over existing screen nozzles. The first advantage is that there are no external welds which may damage or deform or foul the screen and which are also are potential areas of weaknesses which may be subject to corrosion. Secondly the screen element may be replaced without removing the nozzle from the screen plate. This makes repair and replacement of the screen nozzles considerably easier and also cheaper, since the nipple itself does not need to be replaced.

Title: Electrically sequenced tractor
Inventor: MOORE N BRUCE
IPC: E21B4/18
Filed: 1999-12-17
Abstract: A downhole drilling tractor for moving within a borehole with predetermined speed, thrust and direction based on control signals from the surface and feedback signals from various sensors. The downhole drilling tractor of the invention comprises a tractor body, two packerfeet, two aft propulsion cylinders, and two forward propulsion cylinders. The body comprises aft and forward shafts and a central control assembly. The packerfeet and propulsion cylinders are slidably engaged with the tractor body. Drilling fluid can be delivered to the packerfeet to cause the packerfeet to grip onto the borehole wall. Drilling fluid can be delivered to the propulsion cylinders to selectively provide downhole or uphole hydraulic thrust to the tractor body. The tractor receives drilling fluid from a drill string extending to the surface. A system of spool valves in the control assembly controls the distribution of drilling fluid to the packerfeet and cylinders. The valve positions are controlled by motors. A programmable electronic logic component on the tractor receives the control signals from the surface and feedback signals from various sensors on the tool. The feedback signals may include pressure, position, and load signals. The logic component also generates and transmits command signals to the motors, to electronically sequence the valves. Advantageously, the logic component operates according to a control algorithm for intelligently sequencing the valves to control the speed, thrust, and direction of the tractor.

Patent CA-2548554-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GRAY CHARLES L JR
IPC: F02B5/00
Filed: 2004-12-07
Abstract: The present invention provides a multicylinder homogeneous charge, compression ignition (HCCI) type engine, also known as a premixed charge compression ignition (PCCI) engine, with a control system designed to maintain stable, efficient, low emission HCCI combustion during engine transitions from one speed/load operating point to another speed/load operating point. HCCI  combustion control in the invention is obtained by adjusting specified "engine operating parameters" that influence the crank angle location of the combustion event (viz., charge-air intake temperature, intake pressure (boost), charge-air oxygen concentration, engine cooling, and engine compression ratio), in coordination with adjustments in fuel quantity, by the following preferred method: (1) determining an existing "combustion parameter"  value such as the maximum rate of pressure rise (MRPR), for each cycle of each cylinder, (2) adjusting an engine operating parameter of the engine to effect a change in said combustion parameter value, (3) thereafter adjusting an engine "control parameter" (e.g., commanded fuel quantity) to each cylinder, responsive to the effect of the adjusted engine operating condition, to maintain a desired target for the combustion parameter value, and (4) individually adjusting cooling, heating and/or fuel command to individual "outlier" (deviating) cylinders, to achieve uniform combustion. Preferred control strategies to maximize HCCI combustion stability are also set forth, such as averaging sensed combustion parameter values and/or ignoring combustion parameter values within a specified dead band region so as to ignore cycle-to-cycle random variations of the combustion parameter values at stable HCCI operating points. Additional methods to minimize such engine combustion variability include increasing intake pressure (boost) and controlling combustion chamber cooling, and are additionally described.

IPC: A61B18/04
Filed: 2004-01-29
Abstract: An elastic tube (40) is connected to the base end portion of a catheter body (1) having a balloon (2) at its top end portion. When the tube (40) is set at a vibrator device (RP), the end portion side of the tube, projecting outside, works as a margin volume portion (40A). A roller (53) of the vibrator device (RP) can have a shut-off state where the elastic tube (40) is pressed and completely closed, and a communication state where the tube cannot be pressed.  When the roller (53) is rotated in a predetermined direction with the inside of a route from the balloon (2) up to the elastic tube (40) filled up with a liquid for heating, the liquid in the tube (40) is pressed toward the margin volume portion (40A) in the shut-off state, while in the communication state, the pressurized liquid in the margin volume portion (40A) flows back to the balloon side. Repeating the pressurizing and the backflow vibrates the liquid in the balloon (2). When the balloon (2) is larger, the length (V) of the margin volume portion (40A) is made longer, so that adequate vibration in accordance with the size of the balloon can be applied.
