Title: Power slip assembly for wellhead casing and wellbore tubing
Inventor: Travis Todd
IPC: E21B33/04
Filed: 2009-09-28
Granted: 2012-12-06
Abstract: POWER SLIP ASSEMBLY FOR WELLHEAD CASING AND WELLBORE TUBING 5 A power slip extends a joint from tubing disposed in casing at a well so that a casing head can install on the casing and the tubing can be packed-off from the casing. The joint attaches to an inner sleeve having collet members that fit onto the inner tubing so that the joint extends thereabove. An outer sleeve and interlocking collet assemble together and 10 install onto the inner sleeve. The collet threads onto the inner sleeve and forces the outer sleeve downward onto the inner sleeve. Being forced, the outer sleeve causes the collet members to engage around the inner tubing. The casing head then installs on the casing with the joint extending up through the head's bowl. An H-plate installs in the open bowl around the 15 extended joint, and another pack-off installs on the joint to pack it off from a spool attaching to the casing head.

Title: Luer activated medical connector having a low priming volume
Inventor: MANSOUR GEORGE M
IPC: A61M25/18
Filed: 2009-09-02
Granted: 2015-04-23
Abstract: A connector is described which includes a valve housing comprising a valve housing base and a valve cap, the valve housing defining an inlet port, and an outlet port, the valve housing further including a fluid path from the inlet port to the outlet port, the fluid path including a channel formed in an inner wall of the valve housing. A valve insert in the valve housing defines a bowl sealed by a diaphragm, such that the sealed bowl forms an inner volume in the valve housing. A valve plug operable seals the inlet port when the connector is in an unactuated state thereby closing the fluid path through the connector. Upon actuation of the connector the valve plug deforms the diaphragm into the inner volume thereby unsealing the inlet port and opening the fluid path through the connector. Because of the arrangement of the valve plug, valve insert and diaphragm, the connector has a low priming volume and has positive fluid displacement characteristics upon actuation.

Title: Systems and methods for subsurface electromagnetic mapping
Inventor: GREEN KENNETH E
IPC: G01V1/40
Filed: 2009-08-31
Granted: 2014-08-07
Abstract: Systems and methods which provide electromagnetic subsurface mapping to derive information with respect to subsurface features whose sizes are near to or below the resolution of electromagnetic data characterizing the subsurface are shown. Embodiments operate to identify a region of interest (203) in a resistivity image generated (202) using electromagnetic data (201). One or more scenarios may be identified for the areas of interest, wherein the various scenarios comprise representations of features whose sizes are near to or below the resolution of the electromagnetic data (204). According to embodiments, the scenarios are evaluated (205), such as using forward or inverse modeling, to determine each scenarios' fit to the available data and further to determine their geologic reasonableness (206). Resulting scenarios may be utilized in a number of ways, such as to be substituted in a resistivity image for a corresponding region of anomalous resistivity for enhancing the resistivity image (207).

Title: Wind power generator, and control method therefor
Inventor: FUKAMI KOJI
IPC: F03D7/04
Filed: 2009-04-30
Granted: 2012-09-27
Abstract: Provided is a yaw control technique for a wind power generator, which can reduce the magnitude of a wind direction deviation while suppressing the increase in the number of yawing motions, even if a wind direction changes gradually over a long time.  Also provided is a yaw control technique for a wind power generator, which can improve the efficiency of the wind power generator by grasping the transient change of the wind direction early, thereby to perform the yawing motions at a proper timing.  The wind power generator comprises a nacelle for mounting a windmill rotor, a turning mechanism for yawing the nacelle, a wind direction measuring means for measuring the wind direction, and a control device for controlling the turning mechanism.  The control device calculates the wind direction deviation from the wind direction, which is measured by the wind direction measuring means, and the direction of the windmill rotor.  The control device causes the turning mechanism to yaw the nacelle, if either the following conditions (1) and (2) holds: (1) the state, in which the absolute value of the wind direction deviation is at a first threshold value or higher (or exceeds the first threshold value), continues for a predetermined first duration period; and (2) the state, in which the absolute value of the wind direction deviation is at a second threshold value more than the first threshold value, or higher (or exceeds the second threshold value), continues for a predetermined second duration period shorter than the first duration period.  If the present time is designated by t and if letter T is a predetermined value, moreover, the control device stops the yawing motions of the nacelle, when the average value of the wind directions from the time instant (t - T) to the time instant t and the direction of the windmill rotor coincide.

Granted: 2016-02-11
Abstract: On magnetic particles serving as a first support, an antibody against a nonspecific reaction factor is immobilized. These magnetic particles are mixed with a specimen and suspended therein. After suspending, the suspension is sucked up into a pipette chip and a magnet comes close to the pipette chip. While remotely constraining with the magnet the magnetic particles carrying the nonspecific reaction factor bonded thereto, the residual liquid is discharged into a well. Thus, the removal of a contaminant contained in the specimen is completed. The thus treated specimen discharged into the well is subjected to an immunoassay. The magnetic particles carrying the antibody immobilized thereon are mixed with the treated specimen and suspended therein. The suspension is sucked up into a pipette chip and the magnetic particles carrying an antigen bonded thereto are separated by use of the magnet. The magnetic particles carrying the antigen bonded thereto are washed, mixed with an enzyme-labeling solution, which contains a second support, and suspended therein. After suspending, the magnetic particles being labeled and carrying the antigen bonded thereto are mixed with a substrate solution and subjected to the measurement of emission intensity, etc.
