Title: User interface with navigation context
Inventor: NGUYEN TRUC
IPC: G06F3/0482
Filed: 2013-12-18
Abstract: A system and method provides a user interface for navigation context. The user interface may present visual indications to a user of where the user has navigated to in a hierarchy of the user interface. The representations of the multiple levels of the user interface navigated by the user may be partially overlaid. Portions of the previously navigated levels of the user interface may be partially non-overlaid in order show a path that the user has previously navigated to reach a current level in the user interface. The representation of the path navigated through the levels of the user interface provides a context to the user. The representation of the context by non-overlapping portions of previously navigated levels may provide for efficient use of limited screen area available on, for example, mobile computing devices.
Patent CA-2837938-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SWINFORD JERRY L
IPC: E21B17/042
Filed: 2012-03-29
Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of the downhole oscillator includes an outer housing at least partially surrounding a motor and a removably coupled eccentric member. The motor at least partially drives the rotation of the eccentric member thereby producing oscillations or vibrations along the outer diameter of at least a portion of the downhole assembly. The motor's action is at least in part facilitated by expulsion of fluid from the drill string through the motor and onto the interior of the control sleeve such that the force of the interaction between the motor and outer housing produces rotation in the motor. This rotation may be enhanced through expulsion of fluid from the eccentric member whereby the interaction of the expelled fluid therefrom interacts with the interior of the outer housing thereby providing rotation of the eccentric member. Alternatively, the fluid may be expelled from the motor and/or the eccentric member against the interior the wellbore thereby providing the desired rotation. A method of use may include providing an outer housing, motor capable of producing rotational movement, and an asymmetrical eccentric member and functionally coupling same. Whereby the production of vibration in at least a portion of the outer diameter of a bottom hole assembly may be produced.

IPC: B25D9/18
Filed: 2012-08-17
Abstract: A fluid pressure driven, high frequency percussion hammer for drilling in hard formations is presented. The hammer piston (20) of the percussion hammer has a relatively large and longitudinally extending bore (41 ) that provides minimal flow resistance for a drilling fluid flowing through the bore (41 ) during the return stroke of the hammer piston (20). The bore (41 ) is closeable in the upstream direction by a valve plug (23) that follows the hammer piston (20) during the stroke. The valve plug (23) is controlled by a relatively long and slender valve stem (49) that is mechanically able to stop the valve plug (23) by approximately 75 % of the full stroke length of the hammer piston (20) and separates the plug (23) from a seat ring (40). Thus the bore (41 ) opens up such that the bore fluid can flow there trough, and the inherent tension spring properties of the valve stem (49) returns the valve plug (23) so rapid that it will be good through flow during return of the hammer piston (20).

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for producing at least one low sulfur distillate fuel product with improved low temperature properties. A potential distillate fuel feed is initially hydrotreated to reduce sulfur and nitrogen levels in the feed to desired amounts.

The heavy diesel fraction is then dewaxed to improve the cold flow properties of the heavy diesel fraction. The dewaxed heavy diesel fraction can be combined with the light diesel fraction, or the dewaxed heavy diesel fraction can be fractionated as well. Optionally, the heavy diesel fraction is dewaxed under conditions effective for producing a dewaxed fraction with a cloud point that is less than or equal to the cloud point of the light diesel/distillate fraction.
