Title: Cabinet scraper with blade having two sharpened edges
Inventor: SIEMERS MATTHEW BRUCE
IPC: A47L13/08
Filed: 2003-08-07
Abstract: A cabinet scraper (fig1,10) that protects the scraper blade 14 from damage due to contact with the body of the scraper (fig1,12) and that protects the user from contact with the upper edge 38 of the blade, preferably by including a portion of the body that extends 36 beyond the upper edge 38 of the blade. The blade is held in place by a clamp bar 16 and the shape of the blade may be modified using an adjustment screw 18. Preferably, the clamp bar includes a chamfer 42 along an edge, so that shavings produced during scraping do not bunch up between the blade and body of the scraper.

Title: Apparatus and methods for radially expanding a tubular member
Inventor: MACKENZIE ALAN
IPC: E21B43/10
Filed: 2002-04-19
Abstract: Radially expanding a tubular (12) such as a liner or casing, especially in a downward direction. The apparatus includes at least one driver device (20, 22) such as a piston that is typically fluid-actuated, and an expander device (14) is attached to the or each driver device (20, 22). Actuation of the or each driver device (20, 22) causes movement of the expander device (14) to expand the tubular (12). One or more anchoring devices (36, 40), which may he radially offset, are used to substantially prevent the tubular (12) from moving during expansion thereof.
Patent GB-2410200-A (GB)
Title: A valve assembly
Inventor: RIDLEY MICHAEL
IPC: F23D14/38
Filed: 2004-01-23
Abstract: A valve comprises a valve body having an inlet 309 and outlet connected by a channel 319 within the valve body. A substantial cross-section of the channel is occupied by a filter 301 being a porous mass of metal containing a plurality of pores each having a diameter of 0.5 microns to 50 microns. The surface of the filter may be coated with a non-wettable fluorocarbon film coating to aid the separation of liquid from gas by promoting beading of the liquid fuel on the surface of the filter. Preferably a movable flow control element 323 such as a metal ball is disposed in the channel 319 above the filter 301 and forms a gas permeable contact with an internal surface of the channel. Advantageously the valve finds application in hand-held gas torches where non-vaporised liquid fuels such as butane or propane are prevented from passing into a burning chamber thus preventing the problem of flaring from occurring.

Title: Healthcare information system with clinical information exchange
Inventor: DVORAK CARL DAVID
IPC: G16H10/60
Filed: 2003-01-17
Abstract: Modern healthcare enterprises often support complex computer networks for the many functions of the enterprise, and the networks are often running multiple incompatible application programs. Described here is a clinical server exchange device for such a complex network. The clinical exchange server maintains a master table of applications on the network and the patient identification used by each of the applications for each patient. The clinical exchange server can then serve as a sort of interpreter to allow each application to communicate through the clinical exchange server to obtain information from another application about the patient. To facilitate that exchange, each application sends to the clinical exchange server an abstract of any events involving the patient. The clinical exchange server system also envisions a protocol for information exchange, preferably through the clinical exchange server.

Title: Injection device with a piston having needle and plunger attachments.
Inventor: CHOWDHURY DEWAN FAZLUL HOQUE
IPC: A61M5/28
Filed: 2004-10-04
Abstract: The invention relates to an injection device that may be used with standard pharmaceutical vials, or other similar type of container, for the dispensing, or administration of the contents of the container without the use of a syringe. When assembled, the injection device includes a container 2 having a base and an open neck. An internal piston 10 is located within the container 2 and has an orifice 28. A needle 22 is releasably secured to the main body 14 of the internal piston 10 in fluid communication with the orifice 28. A plunger rod 26 is also releasably secured to the main body 14. Both the needle 22 and the plunger rod 26 extend in the same direction through the open neck of the container 2. Movement of the internal piston towards the base of the container 2 therefore forces that part of the contents of the container that is below the internal piston 10 though the orifice and out of the needle 22.

Abstract: A method for logging a wellbore includes actuating a positioning device to adjust the position of a module relative to a reference point or object such as a wellbore axis or proximally positioned downhole device. With respect to a wellbore (14), an exemplary positioning device (140A, 140B) can set the measurement tool (104A, 104B) such as an acoustic device to successive radial positions (e.g., substantial concentricity or substantial eccentricity relative to an axis of the wellbore). In one embodiment, the module includes a measurement tool to measure different parameters of interest (e.g., acoustic logging data, check-shot data measurement, bonding of cement to casing). With respect to an adjacent downhole device, the positioning device can provide a selected relative orientation (e.g., azimuth, inclination, radial displacement) between the module (102A, 102B) and the adjacent downhole device. The positioning device can also be adapted to apply a jarring force to a wall of the wellbore to free a downhole device.

Title: Steering tool housing with accelerometers for measuring rotation rate
Inventor: SUGIARA JUNICHI
IPC: E21B7/06
Filed: 2006-11-13
Abstract: A steering tool (100, fig 1) comprises a shaft 115 and a housing 110 with extendable blades (150, fig 1) for directional movement of the tool. The housing includes two sensor sets 310A, 310B for measuring the rotation rate of the housing. The sensor sets each include at least one accelerometer to measure a cross-axial acceleration component. This may be a centrifugal acceleration AC, tangential acceleration (AT. fig 6) or a combination. The steering tool may further include a shaft rotation rate sensor (210, fig 3) to derive an aggregate rotation rate for the shaft. The tool has the advantage that it can take into account slippage of the 'non-rotating' housing for a more reliable shaft rotation rate reading. The rotation rate of the shaft may be used to derive encoded commands from the surface.
