Patent CA-2657905-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LEE OLAF N
IPC: B03B1/00
Filed: 2007-07-16
Abstract: A process to transform solid waste into fuel by adding water and heat to provide no more than 350 BTUs/lb of the weight of the solid waste for no more than 85 minutes. Such a process transforms the solid waste into fuel in a process time of not greater than 85 minutes. The system uses a pressure vessel; a condenser tank to permit selective addition of water to and evacuation of steam from the vessel; a heater to increase the temperature of the vessel; a vacuum pump to selectively reduce pressure within the vessel and to help evacuate steam from the vessel to the condenser tank; and a water pump to selectively add water from the condenser tank to the interior volume of the vessel. A method for converting solid waste into fuel includes loading the solid waste into a rotating pressure vessel and transforming the solid waste into fuel by adding water; reducing pressure; adding heat; and then evacuating steam. The contents are evacuated from the pressure vessel. At least some of the contents are fuel.

Abstract: A plurality of memory devices (e.g., DRAMs, SRAMs, NAND Flash, NOR Flash) is serially interconnected. Each of the interconnected devices receives a device identifier (ID) and latches it as its ID. Each device includes a circuit for calculating another ID or an incremented ID to generate it. The generated ID is transferred to another device and the ID is incremented in each of the devices in the serial interconnection. The last device in the interconnection provides a last generated ID that is provided to a memory controller having a recognition circuit that recognizes the total number of the serially interconnected devices, from the provided last generated ID. The recognition circuit recognizes the total output latency of the devices in the serial interconnection.

Title: Fluid coupler including valve arrangement for connecting intake conduit of sprayer to transfer conduit of nurse tank during refill operation
Inventor: HUEGERICH DANIEL JOSEPH
IPC: F16L29/04
Filed: 2009-07-10
Abstract: A nurse vehicle carries a supply of chemicals or fertilizer in fluid form for being applied to a crop and/or field by using a sprayer vehicle. A coupler assembly for selectively connecting a fluid transfer conduit of the nurse vehicle to a sprayer vehicle fluid intake conduit includes a receptacle connected to the transfer conduit, and a complementary dimensioned insert dimensioned for being received in the receptacle. An inflatable seal surrounds the insert and locks the insert and receptacle together when inflated. Flow of fluid through the insert and receptacle is respectively controlled by first and second poppet valves, which are normally spring biased to closed positions preventing flow through the bodies.  An extensible and retractable valve actuator is provided for selectively opening the poppet valves. An electronic controller embodies sequencing logic and once armed, acts in response to a coupled signal to sequentially cause the seal to inflate, the valve actuator to open the poppet valves, and a variable displacement pump to ramp-up to being pumping the fluid being transferred, thereafter the controller acts in response to a full tank signal to sequentially cause the pump displacement to ramp-down to zero displacement, the valve actuator to close the poppet valves and the inflatable seal to deflate, thereby placing the coupler assembly in a condition for being separated. The electronic controller also is used in conjunction with a pump condition monitoring arrangement to control the displacement of the pump for maximizing pump operation while avoiding cavitation.

Title: Reliable sleeve activation for multi-zone frac operations using continuous rod and shifting tools
Inventor: WILKIN JAMES F
IPC: E21B34/14
Filed: 2009-07-31
Abstract: An apparatus for opening and closing downhole tools, such as sliding sleeves, includes a first (opening) shifting tool connected to an end of a continuous rod, an intermediate rod connected below the first shifting tool, and a second (closing) shifting tool connected to the end of the intermediate rod. The first tool has a profile for selectively opening sleeves when moved downhole, and the second tool has a profile for selectively closing sleeves when moved uphole.  Alternatively, a single tool can couple to the end of the continuous rod and can have the profiles for opening and closing sleeves. When used, the continuous rod and shifting tools are deployed downhole to a series of sliding sleeves on a tool string.  Manipulated by the continuous rod and a rig at the surface, the shifting tools are used to successively open and close the sliding sleeves so that successive isolated zones of a formation can be treated with frac fluid.

Abstract: Un séparateur de flottaison de gaz à utiliser dans des réservoirs horizontaux, tels que ceux utilisés pour le stockage de pétrole, les dispositifs de stockage de production flottants à bord et de déchargement (FPSQ), comprend la division du réservoir en une pluralité de chambres fonctionnant en série. Avant d'entrer dans chaque chambre, la phase aqueuse contaminée est mélangée avec un courant contenant des bulles de gaz pour aider à la floculation et à la flottaison du contaminant en phase immiscible. Le courant de recyclage des bulles de gaz peut être généré en injectant un taux contrôlé d'un gaz pressurisé dans un courant liquide de l'eau propre, produite dans un processus extérieur au réservoir ou par induction d'une phase gazeuse interne au réservoir. Le mélange s'écoule dans la première chambre et empiète sur un déversoir d'eau d'entrée oblique. Une portion de la phase immiscible et de la phase gazeuse monte jusqu'en haut de la chambre tandis que les contaminants immiscibles s'écoulent vers le bas avec la phase aqueuse jusqu'au fond de la chambre. La phase aqueuse fait un virage à 180° vers le haut en entrant dans une pluralité de conduits de flux parallèles formés dans la paroi du déflecteur qui sépare la chambre de chaque série. Dans chaque conduit parallèle, un second courant de bulles de gaz est injecté pour aider ultérieurement à la floculation et à la flottaison des contaminants immiscibles. La phase aqueuse se mélange à nouveau en haut de la seconde chambre où elle empiète sur un second déversoir oblique. Ce processus est répété dans la chambre de chaque série jusqu'à la dernière chambre où l'eau nettoyée est pompée hors de la chambre par le biais d'une pompe à liquide. En modifiant le taux d'élimination de l'eau, on peut contrôler le niveau d'eau dans la dernière chambre. Le contaminant de pétrole floculé et flottant peut être éliminé soit 1) par un écrémage périodique dans un déversoir de trop-plein en augmentant le niveau d'eau dans la chambre, ou 2) une aube de rotation continue ou un objet à balai qui lève ou transporte la couche de pétrole flottante loin de la surface de l'eau et la transfère dans un système de collecteur.
