Title: Pressure of hydraulic flow from wave energy converters is proportional to flow rate
Inventor: KAMIZURU YUKIO
IPC: F03B13/18
Filed: 2012-05-15
Abstract: A wave energy system has a plurality of wave energy converters 1a â   1e acting as pumps for converting wave energy into a common volume flow of a pressure medium in a main line 12. There is an energy conversion device 22 which provides damping, and the degree of damping is controlled by controller 10 so that pressure is dependent on volume flow rate. The system is therefore able to operate in low sea states with low damping, and can still operate efficiently in medium and high sea states with adequate damping to ensure the optimum phase relationship between the wave energy converter and the waves. The wave energy converters 1a â   1e may be separately or collectively controlled. Control may be achieved by a variable hydraulic motor 22 or by switching between a plurality of fixed displacement motors.

Title: Packet Disinfection Method and Apparatus
Inventor: SNOWBALL MALCOLM ROBERT
IPC: A23L3/26
Filed: 2013-02-20
Abstract: A method of packaging an article comprises providing an article in a packet 8 with a gas comprising oxygen; closing the packet so that the gas is adjacent a wall of the packet and subjecting the gas to an alternating electric field through the wall of the packet whilst the interior surface of the wall of the packet is dry.

Title: Shape memory material packer for subterranean use
Inventor: DUAN PING
IPC: E21B23/06
Filed: 2012-01-05
Abstract: A shape memory polymer is initially fabricated to a size where its peripheral dimension will be at least as large as the borehole wall in which it is to be deployed. After the initial manufacturing the material temperature is elevated above the transition temperature and the material is stretched on a mandrel to retain its inside dimension as its outside dimension is reduced to size that will allow running the seal to a desired subterranean location without failing the material during the stretching. The material is allowed to cool below the transition temperature to hold the new shape. The material on the mandrel is then secured to a tubular string and delivered to the desired location. Wellbore fluid at given temperature raises the material again above the transition temperature, which causes the material to revert to its originally manufactured shape.
