Patent CA-2415909-A1 (CA)
Title: Borehole inspection videocamera
Inventor: MELTZER BRAD A
IPC: E21B47/00
Filed: 2001-07-17
Abstract: An instrument for the inspection of well bores includes an improved light source contained within the same pressure barrel as the camera. A low power lamp is disposed within an elliptical-shaped reflector that reflects the lamp light to a focal point distal of the reflector. Optical fibers are disposed at that focal point and conduct the light received from the lamp to form an array of light sources disposed about the camera. An annular window disposed in the line of illumination of the array of light sources directs the illumination into the field of view of the camera. The light source arrangement provides an unobstructed and illuminated field of view for the camera. Because of the increased efficiency of the light source that includes the described elliptical reflector, a self-contained power system may be used in the instrument thereby resulting in a much smaller support cable for the instrument with the ability to inspect much smaller boreholes. Standard size batteries may be used in the power system. A slickline cable may be used with the disclosed instrument.

Inventor: YABLOCHNIKOV BORIS A
IPC: B23K20/06
Filed: 2003-03-06
Abstract: An apparatus for supporting a workpiece, such as a yoke having a body portion and a pair of opposed yoke arms, during a magnetic pulse welding operation includes a lower jaw, an upper jaw, and a support pin extending therebetween. During the magnetic pulse welding operation, the lower and upper jaws of the support apparatus engage the opposed yoke arms, and the support pin extends through respective openings formed through the opposed yoke arms. The support apparatus can also include a counter die that is disposed between the lower jaw and the upper jaw and has an arcuate recess formed therein that receives the outer portions of the opposed yoke arms therein. Lastly, the support apparatus can further include a pair of positioning rails that engage the body portion of the yoke. As a result, the support apparatus prevents deformation of the opposed yoke arms and absorbs shock waves that can be propagated through the yoke during the magnetic pulse welding operation.
Patent CA-2425483-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DANILOFF YURI
IPC: G01N33/569
Filed: 1992-05-21
Abstract: Methods are disclosed for determining an analyte in a medium suspected of containing the analyte. One method comprises treating a medium suspected of containing an analyte under conditions such that the analyte, if present, causes a photosensitizer and a chemiluminescent compound to come into close proximity. The photosensitizer generates singlet oxygen and activates the chemiluminescent compound when it is in close proximity. The activated chemiluminescent compound subsequently produces light. The amount of light produced is related to the amount of analyte in the medium. Preferably, at least one of the photosensitizer and chemiluminescent compound is associated with a surface which is usually a suspendible particle, and a specific binding pair member is bound thereto. Another method comprises providing (1) a medium suspected of containing the analyte, (2) a label reagent comprising a first specific binding pair (sbp) member associated with a photochemically activatable chemiluminescent compound wherein the first sbp member is capable of binding to the analyte or to a second sbp member to form a complex related to the presence of the analyte. This method further comprises photochemically activating the chemiluminescent compound. The amount of luminescence generated by the chemiluminescent compound is detected. The amount thereof is related to the amount of analyte in the medium. Compositions and kits are also disclosed.
