Title: Downhole tubular expansion tool and method for installing a tandem clad liner
Inventor: BRITT O BRADDICK
IPC: E21B43/10
Filed: 2017-05-24
Abstract: An expansion tool includes a housing and a hydraulic power section for stroking a first expander on a pulling mandrel through a bore of an expandable outer clad, the expansion tool including a ratcheting reaction assembly, having a ratchet rack and a ratcheting component thereon, that engages a proximal end of the outer clad to prevent axial movement of the outer clad as the first expander is drawn through a portion of the bore of the outer clad to expand the outer clad. The ratcheting reaction assembly remains engaged with the proximal end of the outer clad as the housing is repositioned uphole to permit staged expansion of the outer clad using the first expander. The expansion tool improves sealing and structure integrity of the expanded outer clad within the casing by maintaining the outer clad in a position throughout the staged expansion process.

Abstract: A stator 1 and a stator housing 2 for an electric machine 3, the housing comprising an opening to receive the stator in a direction extending along a longitudinal axis of the machine to enable the stator housing to be shrink-fitted to the stator, wherein the shape of the opening in the housing lying in a cross-sectional plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis comprises four quarter circle arcs (10, figs 2a-c,), with at least two of the arcs being separated by a non-zero distance, the stator having a corresponding shape to the housing. Each of the arcs may be separated from each other by a non-zero distance. The shape of the opening in the housing in a cross-sectional plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis may be a rounded square or may be obround. The housing is manufactured by plunging a circular cutting tool in a first axial direction into material from which the stator housing is to be formed to form a circular opening, translating the circular cutting tool in a first direction extending at right-angles to the longitudinal axis; and removing said circular cutting tool in a second axial direction. The machine may be used in a drive system for a vehicle.

Title: Personal vapour condenser & filter bag
Inventor: CURTIS MAURICE DORRINGTON
IPC: A24F47/00
Filed: 2019-04-01
Abstract: A filter for removing vapour exhaled after using an electronic cigarette. The filter comprises a tube 1 which acts as a mouthpiece for the exhalation of vapour, the tube leading into a breathable and absorbent pouch 2 having a high surface area, and optionally made using expanded polymers. The tube and pouch are inserted into an outer cover 3 that has an integral labyrinth seal 4. In use the user breathes into the tube 1 and in doing so rapidly expands the pouch 2 increasing the pressure within the pouch and condensing the majority of the vapour to liquid i.e. moisture and oil that is absorbed by the pouch as the exhaled vapour is forced through the pouch. The vapour is restricted further by the outer cover 3 that collects and condenses any vapour which has passed though the pouch 2. Clean air is permitted to leave the device via the labyrinth seal 4 that restricts the oil from the vapour escaping. The device filters the vapour of oil and moisture and used repeatedly until the pouch is saturated and obstructs the airflow.

Title: Systems and methods for purging reductant from a reductant injector
Inventor: NEHA VERMA
IPC: F01N9/00
Filed: 2019-07-02
Abstract: A reductant insertion system for inserting reductant into an aftertreatment system via a reductant injector comprises a reductant insertion assembly comprising a pump operatively coupled to the reductant injector via a reductant delivery line.
