Abstract: Passive solar wire screens mount vertically on an edifice. The screens have rods vertically arranged parallel to one another and have wires horizontally arranged parallel to one another. The wires attach to the rods and have first surfaces facing away from the edifice in an upward direction from vertical. The wires also have second surfaces facing toward the edifice in a downward direction from vertical. When the sun has a summer elevation on the horizon, the first surfaces passively reflect solar energy incident thereto away from the wire screens. When the sun has a winter elevation on the horizon, however, the first surfaces passively reflect solar energy incident thereto toward the second surfaces, which in turn passively reflect the solar energy toward the edifice. A concave surface on the wires can also reflect thermal energy back to the edifice.

Title: Vertical curve system for surface grading
Inventor: WILLIAMS MARK
IPC: G06N3/12
Filed: 2008-04-18
Granted: 2014-02-25
Abstract: A method is disclosed that generates design profiles and a surface therefrom that promote water drainage from soil in an area of interest. Topographical data describing an initial surface of the area of interest are used to form initial profiles. The method generates the design profiles using the initial profiles and desired design parameters such as minimum slope, maximum slope, optimal slope, maximum depth, optimal depth, starting elevation, ending elevation, rules of curvature, and rules of earth balancing. The method generates design surface profiles so that the cut volumes and fill volumes of the soil are at or near balance as much as possible from the available soil in the area of interest.

Abstract: The invention relates to an item of seating furniture (1), in particular a working chair, the seat surface (6) of which is movable in a sliding guide (4) and connected to a frame (7) by means of a joint (14) . The seat frame (5), which is displaceable in one plane, is kinematically coupled to a frame (7) which is pivotably movable relative to the seat frame (5) and the carrying frame (2) . This frame (7) carries on the one hand a backrest (8), on the other hand also a pelvic support (9) arranged in the rear region of the seat surface (6). In order to make the pelvic support (9) run in the working position in an upwardly inclined manner in relation to the plane of the seat surface (6), a thrust bearing (13) for the frame (7) or the backrest (8), which thrust bearing allows a superimposed displacement and also pivoting movement, is arranged on the carrying element (11). The frame (7) is on the one hand supported on this thrust bearing (13), on the other hand connected, at a trailing end portion of the seat frame (5), to the seat frame by a joint (14) designed as a hinge joint, so that an inclination of the backrest out of the working position into the resting position therefore leads to an inclination and at the same time to a lowering of the backrest (8), but also to a lowering of the pelvic support (9), which is rigidly connected to the backrest (8), and forward displacement thereof. In this way, the seat surface (6) is also displaced forward on account of the kinematic coupling. In this way, various ergonomically and orthopaedically beneficial sitting positions are achieved with low mechanical complexity.

Granted: 2014-10-21
Abstract: A heater string for transmitting a heater fluid within a well, includes an inlet, an elongate tubular body and an inner tubular surface contiguous with the elongate body and contacting the heater fluid. The inner tubular surface includes a plasticized polyamide blend, allowing a reduction of the friction between the fluid and the string and thermal conductivity from the fluid toward the well, improving various functions of the string. The plasticizer may be a sulphonamide and include tougheners and reinforcement spines. Also, a hanger assembly for suspending the heater string includes an anchoring member, a nut mountable around the string and a connector body with a canalization communicating with the inlet of the string. The nut and connector body are securable together and abuttable against upstream-facing and downstream-facing surfaces of the anchoring member to enclose the anchoring member, allowing a secure hold on the heater string.

Abstract: A directional drilling system and method are provided for directional drilling a borehole by continuous rotating of the drill string in combination with an arrangement of drilling motor assemblies at the lower end of the drill string to effect drilling along a curved path and a substantially straight path. A first drilling motor assembly is coupled to a drill bit and operable to rotate the drill bit to effect drilling of the borehole. A second drilling motor assembly, positioned on the drill string above the first drilling motor assembly, is operable to rotate the first drilling motor assembly in a direction opposite the direction of rotation imparted to the drill string from the surface and to the drill bit by the first drilling motor assembly. A control system associated with the second drilling motor assembly controls fluid flow through the second drilling motor assembly so that the first drilling motor assembly is substantially rotationally stationary with respect to the rotating drill string when drilling a curved path of the borehole.
