Abstract: The invention relates to rotary machines, the rotor and pistons of which are provided with nonparallel axis of rotation. A spherical cavity (4) formed by a body (1) comprises a rotor (7), which is arranged therein and is provided with a through slot (21) in which a piston (8) in the form of a slotted disc (33) is mounted in such a way that it is enabled to carry out rotational oscillatory motions. The working cavity is divided into bypass (2) and pressure (3) sections. A C-shaped divider (9) is placed in the bypass section (2) and separates the working medium input window (12) from the output window (13) thereof. In the pressure section (3),the working medium is pushed by the projecting part of the piston (8). The inventive spherical positive displacement rotary machine makes it possible to uniformly supply a working medium during a whole cycle. The input and output windows are spaced along a shaft, thereby making it possible to develop, on the basis of said machine, multistage borehole pumps and hydraulic drives. A high tightness and a low internal hydraulic resistance render the inventive machine effective within a large range of viscosities of the working medium. The simple geometrical shape and the interaction of " plane-on-plane" and "sphere-on-sphere" contacting parts provides the machine with an extended service life.

Title: Mems bubble generator for large stable vapor bubbles
Inventor: SILVERBROOK KIA
IPC: B41J2/05
Filed: 2006-10-09
Abstract: A MEMS vapour bubble generator that uses a heater in thermal contact with a liquid to generate a bubble. The heater is energized by an electrical pulse that is shaped to have a relatively low power, sub-nucleating portion and a high power portion that nucleates the bubble. The thermal energy transferred to the liquid by the sub-nucleating portion speeds up the nucleation of the bubble across the surface of the heater during the nucleating portion. This produces larger, more stable bubble having a regular shape.

Patent CA-2692994-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ANDERSON RICHARD L
IPC: E21B43/24
Filed: 2010-02-10
Abstract: Methods and systems relate to generating a flow of steam and splitting the flow of steam to enable both its injection into a formation to assist in oil recovery and its introduction into a pathway where the steam is used for generating electricity and capturing carbon dioxide (CO2).  At least part of the CO2 that is captured comes from burning of fuel used to generate the steam.  Steam assisted gravity drainage requires the steam that is injected to have a higher pressure than the steam that is needed for CO2 capture. Exhaust steam from a steam turbine used to generate the electricity reduces pressure of the steam prior to use of the steam for capturing CO2.
