Patent GB-2401636-A (GB)
Title: Plastically deforming and radially expanding a tubular member
Inventor: COOK ROBERT LANCE
IPC: E21B43/10
Filed: 2001-09-27
Abstract: An expansion cone 1085 is actuated in a downward direction by a direct application of axial force using a support member 1100 and/or through the application of fluid force. The axial displacement of the expansion cone 1085 plastically deforms and radially expands the upper portion of an expandable tubular member 1080 so as to couple the upper portion of the tubular member 1080 to a recess 910 of a preexisting casing 900. During the downward actuation of the expansion cone 1085, a locking member 1015 prevents axial displacement of the tubular member 1080. The expansion cone 1085 and support member 1100 are then raised out of wellbore 10. The continued injection of the fluidic material 1125 into the apparatus 1000 then causes an expansion cone launcher 1060 and the tubular member 1080 to be plastically deformed and radially expanded off of an expansion cone 1045.

Title: Vehicular device for infrared vision
Inventor: MOISEL JOERG
IPC: B60R21/00
Filed: 2004-09-16
Abstract: A vehicular infrared vision device comprises a display unit 4 which is controlled to switch off when a recommended maximum vehicle velocity is exceeded. This discourages inappropriate reliance on infrared vision for high speed driving. The device comprises an infrared radiation source 2, an infrared sensitive camera 3, the unit 4 displaying image data, a control unit 1 and an evaluation unit 6, evaluating image data with respect to the recommended maximum velocity. At high velocities, the display 4 is switched off gradually, suddenly or after a delay. A warning of such switching off may be provided to the driver. The display 4 may be switched back on manually, by using a headlamp flasher switch 5, for instance. When the display 4 switches off, the camera 3 and radiation source 2 may also be automatically switched off. The state of the surroundings can be evaluated from image data to derive the recommended maximum velocity as a function of the underlying surface, weather conditions, road signs and/or traffic volume.
