Patent CA-2322911-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MARKOVIC BRANIMIR
IPC: F16L33/22
Filed: 2000-10-11
Abstract: A fluid pressure hose coupling for connecting a flexible hose to a pressurized fluid line is described. The coupling has a connecting end section for securement to a pressurizable line and a cylindrical nipple end section for securing an end section of a flexible hose thereto. The nipple end section has a tapered cone-like outer surface having a larger outer diameter section at a free end thereof. A cylindrical hose clamping sleeve is positionable about the nipple end section and also has an inwardly tapered inner surface whose diameter is larger at the front end thereof and wherein the inner surface of the clamping sleeve and the outer surface of the cylindrical nipple end section extend parallel to one another. By positioning a flexible hose end section over the nipple and placing the hose clamping sleeve over the hose end section and by applying pressure in the line and pulling the sleeve and hose sections together, in an outward direction, the hose end section becomes clampingly secured between the clamping sleeve and the tapered outer surface of the nipple end section. To disconnect the hose pressure is removed and the hose clamping sleeve is pushed rearwardly to clear the hose end section which may then be pulled off the nipple end. In another embodiment, the clamping sleeve has a piston end located in a channel which is in communication with the pressurized fluid whereby the pressurized fluid displaces the sleeve in clamping engagement with the end section of the hose.

Patent CA-2325454-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NAGAOKA MORITOSHI
IPC: F25B39/02
Filed: 1998-03-25
Abstract: In a cooling apparatus for cooling air, a metal with high heat conductivity, such as copper or aluminum, has generally been used as the material of a heat exchanger with a view to facilitating heat absorption by the refrigerant.  However, in such a heat exchanger, the temperature of the refrigerant becomes the same as the temperature of the heat exchanger because of the high heat conductivity, resulting in dryness of the interior of the refrigerator or the room. Moreover, since dryness decreases the latent heat of the air, no cooling is possible unless the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet of the heat exchanger is 10 ~C or more. This cooling apparatus uses a material with low heat conductivity for its heat exchanger with a view to entailing no humidity reduction, and decreasing the difference between the inlet temperature and outlet temperature of its heat exchanger, i.e., lessening the energy loss. Hence the surface temperature of the heat exchanger is higher than the refrigerant temperature, resulting in a rise in dew point. As a result, the space in the refrigerator or the room is not deprived of humidity.  Furthermore, since the humidity does not lower, the latent heat of the air is not reduced, so that sufficient cooling can be achieved even if the temperature difference between the outlet and the inlet of the heat exchanger is small.

Patent CA-2329673-A1 (CA)
Inventor: EDWARDS JOHN E
IPC: E21B47/04
Filed: 2000-12-27
Abstract: A method for determining a desirable depth for drilling a horizontal well within an oil reservoir includes the steps of deploying a plurality of data sensors at discrete depths in a subsurface formation penetrated by a wellbore, gathering formation pressure data for the discrete depths using the data sensors, and determining the depth of a reservoir using the gathered formation pressure data. The depth within the reservoir may be determined by identifying from the gathered formation pressure data at least one depth whose corresponding formation pressure is suggestive of a reservoir. Once such a depth is identified, the wellbore itself or a lateral drainhole depending from the wellbore may be steered into the reservoir by maintaining the trajectory of the wellbore or drainhole at a substantially constant distance from a fluid contact within the reservoir.

Abstract: Disclosed is a gene sequence which as been identified as encoding 2-methyl-6-phytylplastoquinol/2-6-solanylplastoquinol-9 methyltransferase from photosynthetic organisms. The enzyme 2-methyl-6-phytylplastoquinol/2-methyl-6-solanylplastoquinol-9 methyltransferase is a fundamental enzyme in the production of tocopherols and plastoquinols in higher plants 2-Methyl-6-phytylplastoquinol/2-methyl-6-solanylplastoquinol-9 methyltransferase is believed to be involved in regulating the relative amounts of the various tocopherols present in photosynthetic organisms. By introducing a genetic construct having 2-methyl-6-phytylplastoquinol/2-methyl-6-solanylplastoquinol-9 methyltransferase coding sequence placed under the control of a plant promoter in a plant, transgenic plants can be made having altered 2-methyl-6-phytylplastoquinol/2-methyl-6-solanylplastoquinol-9 methyltransferase expression, to effect changes in the tocopherol profile of the plant. Transgenic plants can be made that have altered tocopherol levels in their tissues.

The system (10) includes drill bit assembly (14) engageable with a drive sub (12 ) attached to the end of a drill string. Drill bit assembly (14) includes fingers (80) that can expand and collapse between a transport position and a  cutting position. The drill bit assembly (14) is carried on a bit assembly sleeve (16). Transport member (18) extends inside the sleeve (16) and is resiliently coupled thereto so that the sleeve (16 and 18) can slide relativ e to each other. Relative sliding motion of member (18) and sleeve (16) in one  direction expands the fingers (80) to the cutting position where relative sliding motion in the opposite direction collapses the fingers (18) to the transport position. This motion allows the system (10) to cut a hole of substantially greater diameter than the diameter of the drill string to whic h the drive sub (12) is attached.
