Abstract: Une mise à l'essai intégrée, horizontale et sélective du flux de production à partir de perforations individuelles ou d'embranchements latéraux individuels d'un puits d'embranchement hautement dévié ou horizontal et multilatéral est bien réalisée avec un outil de test du débit d'un fond de puits qui est sélectivement positionné dans le puits par le biais d'un système de déploiement de tubes enroulés pour des tests de débit de production d'un fond de puits pour indiquer les débits de production d'embranchements latéraux individuels ou de zones perforées. Des outils de diagraphie sont à bord de l'outil d'essai du débit d'un fond de puits pour la précision de la localisation d'outils et pour effectuer les tests de débit de production du fond de puits. Un débitmètre multi-phases à la surface mesure le débit de production total du fluide circulant dans les conduits d'écoulement du puits. Des mesures en temps réel des flux du fond du puits sont corrélées pour fournir un profil de débit de production. L'opérateur du puits peut ainsi prendre des mesures correctives à l'aide d'équipement sur place si les tests indiquent une quantité excessive d'eau ou de pétrole dans un des embranchements latéraux.

Title: Inflatable device and method for reducing fractures in bone and in treating the spine
Inventor: WEIKEL STUART
IPC: A61F2/958
Filed: 2002-04-15
Granted: 2010-02-09
Abstract: The present invention is directed to an inflatable device for use in restoring he anatomy of diseased or fractured bone. The inflatable device may be a balloon of varied size or shape to conform to the bone to be treated and may be deployed in any type of bone where collapsed fractures of cortical bone may be treated by restoring the bone from its inner surface. Once the bone has been sufficiently restored the balloons may be deflated and removed, or may remain inside the bone. The balloon may have multiple layers to provide desired surface characteristics, resistance to puncture and tearing, or other beneficial properties, as appropriate for the particular application of the device. The balloon comprises first and second components, wherein the first component is a barrier that forms a balloon wall and a second component is a reinforcing component extending over the first component. Making the reinforcing component as a braid can improve shape control in balloons having a tapered end or unsymmetrical geometry.

Title: Ion mobility separation devices
Inventor: LABOWSKY MICHAEL J
IPC: H01J49/04
Filed: 2004-02-21
Granted: 2012-07-10
Abstract: The invention describes a system and a method to separate ions (and charged particles) suspended in gas based on their ion electrical mobility. Most common ion mobility analyzers involve two parallel plate (or concentric cylinder) elements (electrodes) (200 and 210 in Fig. 2) between which is imposed an electrical field perpendicular to a sheath gas flow field between the cylinders. Separation occurs because high mobility ions tend to follow the electric field while low mobility ions tend to follow the flow field (260 and 280 in Fig. 2). This invention describes various configurations of electrical elements and sheath gas flow fields for ion mobility separation devices with unique performance characteristics. These characteristics include devices in which: the ion inlet and outlet (630 and 625 in Fig. 6A) are on the same element; the inlet and outlet are at the same voltage; the outlet is upstream from the inlet; the outlet is on the axis; the inlet is on the axis; and the ions are focused on the outlet.
