Title: Process for testing an engine fuel system component
Inventor: COURTNEY BRIAN
IPC: F02M65/00
Filed: 2007-07-25
Abstract: An engine fuel system component such as a fuel pump (22) is mounted on a test bench (23). A preset series of tests with test fuel at different temperatures and pressures is carried out to allow calibration of the electronic controller for the fuel pump (22). A controller (25) controls delivery of selected quantities of test fuel from three separate test fuel tanks (2,6,7)-each of which maintains test fuel at a different temperature-for mixing in a mixer (14) to provide test fuel at a desired test temperature. From the mixer (14) a pump (18) delivers test fuel through a pressure controller (19) which regulates the pressure of the test fuel delivered to the fuel pump (22). This test fuel at a desired temperature and pressure is delivered through the fuel pump (22) for each test in a preset testing sequence.

Title: Tool holder for a turret lathe
Inventor: COOPER COLIN
IPC: B23B31/20
Filed: 2007-08-31
Abstract: The tool holder is adapted to be received in the bore of a tool support of a turret lathe. The holder includes a tubular body 4 having outer and inner surfaces, the outer surface being provided at one end with a threaded portion. The inner surface defines a cavity to receive a collet 3 which serves to hold the tool. A portion of the inner surface locates and cooperates with the received collet. A tubular collet clamping means 1 includes outer and inner surfaces. The inner surface of the clamping means engages the threaded portion of the body and cooperates with the collet when it is received in the cavity. The engagement of the clamping means with the threaded portion of the body causes pressure to be applied to the received collet, thereby causing the tool to be held to be gripped by the collet. The outer surface of the clamping means has a maximum edge-to-edge distance the same or less than the maximum edge-to-edge distance in a cross-section of the body. A tool stop element 5 is located within the cavity to engage with the body to provide a support for the tool. The body may also include a channel and a groove for coolant to flow.

Title: Downhole wet connect using piezoelectric contacts
Inventor: O'MALLEY EDWARD J
IPC: E21B17/02
Filed: 2007-10-18
Abstract: A downhole wet connect uses a bearing relation between materials to take advantage of the piezoelectric effect between them. Voltage is applied from the surface to the uphole pad (14) which induces a voltage to be generated from the downhole pad (10) to a storage device (34) to store power for operating downhole equipment. The generated voltage can also be used as a real time power supply for downhole equipment. Alternatively, the generated voltage can be coded as a signal to downhole equipment to send date acquired downhole to the surface. The transmission of information is two way. Voltage input from the surface is stopped as downhole equipment sends a voltage based signal uphole for conversion by surface processors to capture the data. Alignment or downhole debris issues do not affect the transmission capability of the pads in the wet connect.
