Title: Method for removing gravel pack screens
Inventor: LYNDE GERALD D
IPC: E21B43/04
Filed: 2003-09-02
Abstract: A method of removing a gravel packed screen to reach another zone is described. The method involves a bottom hole assembly comprising an isolation device for the screen and a tool to latch on to it. A perforating gun is shot off to put holes in the screen to allow gravel to come through. A flow through a reversing valve is initiated to urge the gravel into the newly perforated screen while a vibrator shakes the screen and stimulates gravel flow through the screen. Alternatively, the screen is not isolated and a reverse circulation from the surface in conjunction with vibration urges the gravel to flow through the screen and out through the tubing supporting the bottom hole assembly.

Title: Method for producing ethanol by using corn flours
Inventor: VENERI ATTILIO
IPC: C12P7/06
Filed: 2005-08-03
Abstract: A method for producing ethanol starting from corn flours, which provides for the milling of the corn, the separation of the light fractions (bran), a first refining of the milled fractions, a first sifting with germ separation, a second refining of the milled fractions, and a second sifting with germ separation. In particular, according to the invention, impact milling of the wet corn is provided so as to preserve the largest possible average particle size of the milled fractions, and subsequent crushing of the germ is also provided, so as to facilitate size separation thereof. With respect to known systems for producing ethanol starting from corn flours, the method according to the invention allows to extract from corn at least 7%, preferably at least 10% (by weight with respect to the initial product) of pure germ (i.e., germ not contaminated by other components) and at least 1% pure bran, preferably at least 2.5%, before transfer to the ethanol extraction plant, with the previously cited consequent advantages and overcoming the drawbacks that arise from using the systems that constitute the background art. In particular, the extraction from corn of at least 7% of the germ, preferably at least 10%, and of at least to bran, preferably at least 2.5%, allows to achieve drastic reductions in the production of pasty residues in the subsequent ethanol extraction process.

Filed: 2004-01-29
Abstract: The invention provides for the design of a dragline bucket of the type where there are separate front and rear hoist ropes attached to front mounting points (110, 111) and rear mounting points (109) respectively. The front and rear hoist ropes can be independently operated to vary the horizontal attitude of the bucket. The bucket design methodology seeks to equalize the loads in the front and rear hoist ropes during the major phases of the operating cycle such as digging, hoisting and dumping, and this is typically achieved by providing a bucket with comparatively shallow side walls (103, 104) compared with the overall length of the bucket and the positions at which the front and rear hoist ropes ultimately join onto the bucket. The bucket typically has a flat floor (102) and relatively shallow side walls which may in some embodiments taper downwardly from the rear section (106) to the front section (107).
