Patent GB-2316427-A (GB)
Title: Intermediate radius steerable tool
Inventor: HILL DOUGLAS
IPC: E21B7/06
Filed: 1997-08-22
Abstract: A single jointed rotatable and steerable drilling tool (10) having a flexible motor stator housing (21), and optionally a flexible bearing housing (19). The flexible portions can have a reduced outside diameter or increased inside diameter, and they can be made from a relatively high yield strength, low modulus of elasticity material. Also disclosed is a method for using the tool (10) to drill all sections of a deviated wellbore from kickoff to the desired inclination angle in a target reservoir. The tool (10) has but one angle (A), such as an angled sub (14), making it rotatable to drill a straight hole and to increase the radius of curvature of a curved hole. The tool (10) also has a fluid driven motor (12), making it operable in the sliding mode of operation for drilling a short radius of curvature. The flexibility enables the drilling tool (10) to be used around tighter curves, and the rotatability enables the tool (10) to drill in both sliding and rotating drilling modes of operation to complete all sections of the lateral wellbore with a single tool.

Title: Unit fuel injector with threadless connection of body sections
Inventor: VETTERS DAN K
IPC: F02M61/16
Filed: 1999-03-29
Abstract: A threadless attaching device 12 is provided for attaching an upper body section 36 of the fuel injector to a lower body section 38 to avoid imparting a transverse load to the upper body section 36 thereby minimizing bore distortion, plunger wear and the likelihood of injector failure.

Title: Vascular graft for blood supply
IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 1983-12-02
Abstract: A vascular graft is used to supply blood to one or more coronary artery branches. The vascular graft has an elongated U-shaped tubular body providing a continuous passage for carrying blood from a high pressure blood supply to a blood receiver. One or more openings in the body allow blood to flow into the coronary artery branches. The flow and pressure of the blood in the passage is controlled by a restriction providing a Venturi passage located remote from the inlet end of the tubular body. The restriction is reinforced with an annular sleeve to maintain a desired cross sectional area and length of the Venturi passage. The pressure differential between the blood supply and blood receiver maintains continuous and adequate blood flow at a desired pressure in the body passage and provides a continual supply of blood for the coronary artery branches.
