Title: Composite drill gun
Inventor: JUSTIN MASON
IPC: E21B43/1185
Filed: 2015-04-17
Abstract: A composite drill gun for use in a wellbore environment can include a detonation housing containing a detonation source, a composite carrier containing one or more encapsulated charges, and a detonation train connecting the detonation source to the encapsulated charges. The detonation source and each individual encapsulated charge are all sealed with respect to the wellbore environment, and thus the carrier need not be sealed with respect to the wellbore environment. The carrier can be made out of composite materials without worry of leaks into the interior of the carrier, as the detonation source and encapsulated charges are all sealed with respect to the wellbore environment. The composite carrier can be easily drilled out of the wellbore after detonation.

Title: A method of determining an optimal route
Inventor: CRAIG LUCAS
IPC: G08G3/00
Filed: 2017-12-07
Abstract: Traffic data is received for a geographical region relating to the movement of several vessels, sub-regions 602 are defined where the data has similar characteristics, and nodes 606 are associated with the sub-regions. These nodes comprise a representation of the region that is used to determine a vessel’s optimal route. Neighbouring nodes may be joined with one or more edges based on journeys identified using the traffic data, where different edges may represent journeys associated with vessels having different characteristics. The edges may be weighted according to travel time, fuel requirements, monetary cost, or the number of identified journeys that relate to that edge. The route may be determined using a shortest-path algorithm. Sub-regions may be defined by identifying regions where the variation in the traffic data is below a threshold value. Proposed sub-regions may be split into smaller sub-regions (fig. 4) if the variation is too large.

Title: A design for an efficient symbiotic electricity generation plant
Inventor: JOHN JACKSON
IPC: F01K13/00
Filed: 2018-03-08
Abstract: A power station fuelled by fossil fuels or biomass may have increased in efficiency and reduced in harmful emissions by adding secondary units to utilise waste gases and recover heat. Electrolysis may separate water into hydrogen and oxygen, with a calcium carbonate (CaCO3) slurry remaining. Renewable energy, such as solar energy, may power the electrolysis. The oxygen may be used to increase combustion efficiency in the power station’s main furnace. The hydrogen may react with the carbon dioxide (CO2) produced by the main furnace, in a Sabatier reaction, to make methane (CH4)​, to provide further fuel for burning. The calcium carbonate may be reacted with sulfur dioxide (SO2) to form calcium sulfate (CaSO4)​, which may be used for cement. The fuel is combusted with Oxygen to redues the production of nitrous oxide.
