Patent CA-2445244-C (CA)
Title: A motor driven sampling apparatus for material collection
Inventor: HARRIS JOEL S
IPC: B01L3/02
Filed: 2003-10-03
Granted: 2010-03-09
Abstract: An apparatus to excise a sample of material and temporarily store sample has a hollow clamshell casing with a blended grip under which is a tubular sample sleeve extends downwards from the base of the grip. Within the casing an electric motor is housed which drives, via juxtaposed spur gears, the sample sleeve in a rotational manner. The end of the sample sleeve, distal from the clamshell casing, forms a cutting edge circumscribing a circular region. An ejection rod slides reciprocally within the sample sleeve between a stowed position and an expulsion position. When the ejection rod moves from the stowed position to the expulsion position it will extend past the cutting edge and expel any material sample contained within the sample sleeve. A user cuts a sample from a source material resting on a pliable substrate, using the cutting edge of the sample sleeve when the ejection rod is in the stowed position. A sample is cut when the cutting blade contacts the source material while gentle downward pressure is applied. The thumb activates the electric drive which rotates the cutting sleeve. Once the source material has been cut it is simultaneously extracted and lodged within the tubular sample sleeve. The extracted sample remains lodged in the hollow of the sample sleeve until the user extends the ejection rod through the sample sleeve to the expulsion position to eject the sample of source material. The automatic return of the eject rod is comprised of a compression spring that biases the ejection shaft which holds the ejection rod in the retracted and stowed positions.

Title: Remedial system to flush contaminants from tubing string
Inventor: CHAN KWONG-ONN C
IPC: E21B37/00
Filed: 2004-04-16
Granted: 2010-03-23
Abstract: A method of cleaning debris from a string of production tubing in a well enables removal without pulling the string of rods that extend through the tubing. A rotary pump is suspended to a lower end of the tubing for pumping well fluid through the tubing to a wellhead at the surface. A motor assembly at the surface rotates the rods to drive the pump. A closure member is placed on a lower end of an elastomeric hose that will open when a selected level of internal fluid pressure is applied. The operator applies internal pressure to the hose at a pressure less than the selected level to increase rigidity of the hose. The operator inserts the hose through a port in a sidewall of the wellhead, the hose deflecting downward into the tubing. At a desired point, the operator increases the internal pressure in the hose to open the closure member, then discharges a cleansing fluid into the tubing, which flows back up the tubing along with debris.

Abstract: A container including a nozzle and body depending therefrom. The body is preferably tubular and defines an interior which retains a product to be dispensed. A cap engages the nozzle to prevent inadvertent release of the product. In order to dispense the product, the cap is removed and pressure is applied to the body and the nozzle allows release of the product. The nozzle releases the product without exposing the remaining product to the external atmosphere, thus the sterility of the interior of the body is maintained and the shelf life of the product is increased. The nozzle includes an inner body, coupled to the tubular body, surrounded by a flexible outer cover. A seam between the inner body and flexible outer cover forms a one-way release valve wherein a portion of the seam remains closed during dispensing the product.

Title: Image fusion system and method
Inventor: TIANA CARLO
IPC: G09G5/00
Filed: 2003-08-27
Granted: 2010-06-01
Abstract: A contrast-based image fusion system and method of processing multiple images to form a processed or fused image including regions selected from one or more images. Images are divided into image regions. Portions of the images are filtered if necessary. A contrast map is generated for each image via a convolution kernel resulting in a contrast map with contrast values for each image region. Contrast values are compared and image regions are selected based on a selection criteria or process such as greater or maximum contrast.  The selected image regions form the fused image. If necessary, the luminance of one or more portions of the fused image is adjusted. One sensor is selected as a reference sensor, and an average intensity of each region of the reference sensor image is determined across the reference sensor image. The intensity of one or more regions in the final image is adjusted by combining the determined average luminance values and intensity values of the final image.
