Abstract: Reduction of the water permeability within a subterranean formation, particularly within a proppant pack or a gravel pack, can be achieved through the use of a relative permeability modifier (RPM) coated on a particulate material. Methods for reducing the water permeability include providing RPM-coated particulates that contain a RPM coating on the particulates, and placing a treatment fluid containing a base fluid and the RPM-coated particulates in at least a portion of a subterranean formation. The treatment fluid can also contain a companion polymer that serves to further reduce the water permeability compared to that achievable when using the RPM alone.

Patent CA-2834576-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HEATH NICHOLAS
IPC: H01M10/42
Filed: 2012-05-01
Abstract: The teachings herein disclose a method and apparatus for preventing excessive battery passivation in an electronic meter-reading module. The module operates in a low-power state most of the time. The low-power state is interrupted at defined transmit times, wherein the module temporarily turns on or otherwise activates an included communication transmitter, for wireless transmission of data to a remote node. Because of its low current draw during the times between data transmissions, the module's battery is vulnerable to passivation layer buildup. Advantageously, however, the module is configured to perform dummy activations of its transmitter at times other than the defined transmit times, e.g., in the intervals between data transmissions. These dummy activations are not for data transmission, but rather are temporary activations of the relatively high-power transmitter, for reducing passivation layer buildup on the battery in advance of a next data transmission.

Abstract: A flexible thermal trip actuator unit for a circuit breaker is disclosed. The circuit breaker prevents electrical connection between a power line source in the event of an over current. The circuit breaker includes a line connector, a load connector and a trip mechanism. The trip mechanism has an on position allowing electrical connection between the line connector and the load connector, a tripped position interrupting electrical connection between the line connector and the load connector in response to detection of a high current condition, and an off position which is required before resetting the trip mechanism to the on position. The actuator unit has a cold bar coupled to the trip mechanism, a compliant hinge and a parallel hot bar electrically coupled to the load connector. The cold bar deforms from a high current to cause the trip mechanism to assume the tripped position.

Abstract: An array of boxes in one or more carts is closely associated with addresses in a database of a computer. This computer-box association is used to keep track of the sequence, placement and presentation of each window frame element to each workstation. This association is maintained until these frame elements are assembled into rectangular window frames. Then, individual window frames are tracked into other workstations using bar code labels. Temporary storage of frame elements between workstations constitute work banks to each workstation. In another aspect, the lengths of frame elements are adjusted to compensate for the melt factor of the specific welding head in which a joint will be made.
