Title: Method of starting a four stroke engine using compressed air
Inventor: MA THOMAS TSOI HEI
IPC: F01L13/04
Filed: 2009-08-06
Abstract: A method is disclosed for starting a four stroke engine having a compressed air supply, the engine being provided with cam actuated intake and exhaust valves adapted to operate selectively with a first valve timing schedule that causes the engine to act as a compressed air driven motor and with a second schedule that causes the engine to perform as a four stroke cycle internal combustion engine.

Title: Azimuthal measurement-while-drilling (MWD)tool
Inventor: SINCLAIR PAUL L
IPC: E21B47/026
Filed: 2008-05-30
Abstract: Various systems and methods determine a distance, magnitude, and azimuthal angle describing the location of an anomaly within a geologic formation. For example, a method involves identifying an electrical characteristic (e.g., resistivity or conductivity) at each of several sensors in a measurement- while-drilling (MWD) tool. Based on the electrical characteristic, information identifying a formation property of the anomaly is generated. The information includes at least one magnitude and at least one distance. Information information identifying an azimuthal angle is also generated based upon the electrical characteristic. The azimuthal angle relates a position of the anomalous formation to a position of a first sensor in the WWD tool.

According to one example, the composition C is made by corning 90 parts of the lead salt containing 58 per cent of lead with 10 parts of potassium chlorate with the aid of a solution of 1-2 parts of acacia gum in 60 parts of water. The main charge B consists of 1 gram of a mixture of mercury fulminate and potassium chlorate in the proportions 80 : 20. According to a further example, 100 parts of the lead salt containing 59 per cent of lead is corned with 60 parts of a 2 per cent solution of acacia gum. The detonator in this case consists of an aluminium shell containing a base charge of 0À25 gram tetryl, a primary initiating charge consisting of 0À35 gram of a mixture of 70 parts of lead azide and 30 parts of lead styphnate, and a deflagrating charge of 0À12 gram of the corned mixture.

Abstract: 558,924. Lock nuts. THOMPSON, A. H. July 23, 1942, No. 10309: [Class 89 (i)] Nuts stamped from sheet metal have toothed tongues 13 which owing to slight outward splaying of.the flanges 11 have a slight clearance with the bolt thread enabling the nut to be screwed on with the fingers. The inner edge of the base is upturned and notched at 10, the edges being bent to engage one turn of the thread. The tongues enter the notches which restrain them from bending beyond the dead centre position.
