Title: Enrichment of oxygen for the production of hydrogen from hydrocarbons with co2 capture
Inventor: GROUSET DIDIER
IPC: C01B3/38
Filed: 2003-10-29
Abstract: The invention relates to a device (1) which is used to produce hydrogen from a hydrocarbon, obtaining high energy efficiency and generating low levels of carbon dioxide and pollutants. The inventive device (1) comprises (a) a conversion reactor (4) which is used to convert the aforementioned hydrocarbons using water vapour. According to the invention, pure or almost pure oxygen is fed into the reactor (4) in order to oxidise one part of the hydrocarbons and to provide the heat necessary to convert virtually all of the other part of the hydrocarbons into hydrogen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. The device (1) also comprises: (b) means (5) of pre-heating the hydrocarbons, the oxygen flow and the water to be vaporised; (c) at least one heat exchanger (6) which is used to cool the conversion products in order to recover a fraction of the thermal energy of said conversion products; and (d) hydrogen-enrichment equipment. The above-mentioned reactor (4), the pre-heating means (5), the heat exchanger (6) and the enrichment equipment all operate at high pressures, e.g. above 30 bars.

Title: Lateral downhole drilling tool
Inventor: LATOS GORDON
IPC: E21B7/04
Filed: 2005-08-05
Abstract: A flexible lateral drilling shaft is disclosed, having a concentrically nested arrangement of two or more coil springs of which the winding direction of at least one of the springs is opposite to another of the springs. The shaft is included within a lateral drilling tool which includes a deflection assembly having roller bearings to assist the deflection of the flexible shaft. Once inserted into a wellbore, increasing pressure applied to the shaft will cause the opposing springs to stiffen against each other, providing sufficient strength to support the drilling of a lateral drainhole within the wellbore. Further, the spring is wound from a steel wire having a specific noncircular profile to improve the strength characteristics of the shaft without increasing the bending stress during deflection.

Title: Turbo engines protection device
Inventor: ZUGRAVU LIVIU
IPC: F01M5/00
Filed: 2005-07-11
Abstract: In order to enhance the engine performance, the turbo charge is employed on a steady larger scale, for gasoline and diesel engines as well.   But the price paid for he advantages provided by this technical solution is what in literature is named "the turbo death".        The turbo engines are subject to considerable thermal strain. When the engine is switched off shortly after been exercised at high power levels, the extreme temperature in the turbine leads to fast wear rates and shortens the life of the turbo charger, especially by affecting its bearings.      This is "the turbo death." Because, in most cases, through the engine and turbo charger runs same oil, the high temperature can incur damages at the engine as well, though at a much lower rate. The device which makes the object of this invention protects both the engine and the turbo charger.   Same kind of damages, though at a much smaller rate may occur when the engine swiftly turns from high to low power levels.   This invention prevents "the turbo death" by protecting the turbo charger against the high temperature, thus extending its life to at least the life span of the engine itself, offering, in the same time, additional protection for the engine.   The device that is the object of this invention employs a pump, an oil radiator, a fan, sensors, and a controller and is driven by software. This invention can be built at different levels of complexity, which will be described in the subsequent sections.
