Title: Computer-implemented systems and methods for forecasting performance of water flooding of an oil reservoir system using a hybrid analytical-empirical
Inventor: RAI KHYATI
IPC: E21B43/20
Filed: 2011-10-04
Abstract: Computer-implemented systems and methods are provided for generating corrected performance data of water flooding of an oil reservoir system based on application of a statistical correction factor methodology (SCF). For example, data related to properties of the oil reservoir system and data related to a water flooding scenario are received. Water flooding performance data is generated based on application of an analytical water flooding performance computation methodology. Based on application of the SCF methodology to the generated water flooding performance data, corrected water flooding performance data is determined, representative of oil recovery by the water flooding of the oil reservoir system. The SCF methodology can also be used to evaluate water production based on parameters such as water-oil ratio and water cut, identify possible analog reservoirs that have similar water production performance, and calculate a Gross Injection Factor to account for water loss in the reservoir.

Title: A mounting bracket assembly for a shielded electrical cable
Inventor: HUTCHINSON RICKY NEIL
IPC: H01R4/18
Filed: 2013-11-06
Abstract: A mounting bracket assembly 24 provides strain relief, electrical grounding and physical support for an electrical cable, wherein the cable has a Faraday shield 26 surrounding at least one conductor 22, 22. The mounting bracket assembly 24 comprises: a base 30 which is mounted, and electrically coupled, to an electrical apparatus (e.g. a fire detector of a jet engine); and a cable-holding element which is connected to the base 30. Strain relief is provided by a deformable portion 32 of the cable-holding element that defines a passageway 38 through which the conductor(s) 22, 22 pass. When deformation occurs in the deformable portion 32 (e.g. via crimping), the portion compresses around the conductors 22, 22 to hold them in position. The cable-holding element further comprises a shield support 35 in the form of a collar 34 that extends from the deformable portion 32 and is telescopically received within the Faraday shield 26 of the cable. The coupling of the Faraday shield 26 to the collar 34 creates an electrical ground path extending from the shield 26 through the base 30 to the electrical apparatus.

Title: Tie strips
Inventor: HARSLEY ANDREW JOHN
IPC: B65D63/10
Filed: 2014-02-13
Abstract: A multiple use cable or horticultural tie 1, formed in a ladder-shaped construction comprising two substantially linear side rails 2 of generally uniform cross-section. These rails are interconnected by a plurality of closely spaced curved or chevron rungs 3 which define between them similarly shaped apertures 4. The free end of the strip can readily pass through an aperture in a forward direction and form a closed loop, but when pulled in the reverse direction, the rungs engage to form a co-operative latch and thereby prevent withdrawal. The cable tie may be formed from a polymer material such as nylon where the side walls are formed with a rhomboidal cross section. The interconnecting rungs 3 may have longitudinal vertical and horizontal rakes, be tapered outwardly both laterally and vertically, have rounded leading edges, a cutaway notch at its rear portion and flattened section which widens the centreline portion of the rung. The tie may also comprise a tapered front end having a pointed tip where the front tip has raised grips or knurls.

Title: Rigid piston-actuator-assembly supported for performing a pendulum-type tolerance compensation motion
Inventor: KURZ AME
IPC: F04B19/00
Filed: 2014-02-27
Abstract: A pump 20 for pumping fluid comprises a working chamber 200, a piston assembly 202 configured to reciprocate within the working chamber 200 to thereby displace fluid, and a piston actuator 204 rigidly assembled with the piston assembly 202 (at least in a working mode of the pump 20) . A bearing arrangement 208, 210 supports the piston-actuator-assembly so that it is capable of performing a collective tolerance compensating pendulum motion about a pendulum point 212. Three rotary degrees of freedom are permitted by the actuator bearing 208 to allow pendulum movement of the actuator-piston-assembly. Rotation of the actuator-piston-assembly about the pump axis 206 is inhibited by rotation inhibitor 214, and rotation about the two perpendicular axes is prevented only by piston bearing 210. This bearing arrangement avoids redundant constraints, and so may allow relaxed tolerance requirements.

Title: Mechanical linkage and trigger assembly for a coupling member for a detachable tow ball
Inventor: EDWARDS JONATHAN
IPC: B60D1/52
Filed: 2014-03-07
Abstract: A mechanical linkage 202 for a detachable tow ball comprises a housing 2, a shuttle 8 movable relative to the housing between a first position and a second position and an actuation shaft 26. The actuation shaft includes first and second interface lugs (121,122, fig 6C) which cooperate with first and second interface slots 101,102 on the shuttle. Rotation of the actuation shaft in a first direction drives the shuttle in the direction from its second position to its first position. When the shuttle is moved in the direction from its second position to its first position, to rotatably drive the actuation shaft, an abutment section of the second interface lug contacts an abutment section of the shuttle and prevents the shuttle from reaching its first position. The mechanical linkage may comprise a handle 24 that is releasably connectable to the actuation shaft. The handle may be disposed at a position off the rotational axis of the actuation shaft. The actuation shaft may comprise interface lugs and slots configured to meshingly engage to form a rack and pinion mechanism, where each interface lug includes an arcuate portion which is substantially in the shape of a segment of a cylinder.

IPC: H01L29/78
Filed: 2013-08-15
Abstract: Methods and structures for forming a localized silicon-on-insulator (SOI) finFET (104) are disclosed. Fins are formed on a bulk substrate (102). Nitride spacers (208) protect the fin sidewalls. A shallow trench isolation region (412) is deposited over the fins.
