Patent CA-2469990-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SPAULDING GREG
IPC: F02P5/04
Filed: 2004-06-03
Abstract: A method for improving engine performance, by increasing fuel efficiency and/or power output, and/or by decreasing the output of pollutants. When the temperature of the engine's exhaust system is lower than a target temperature, the ignition position of the cylinders of the engine is changed such that fuel and air propagate from the cylinders into the exhaust system while undergoing combustion. The heat from the combustion of the fuel and air in the exhaust system increases the temperature of the exhaust system. The ignition position may be retarded from the normal operating ignition position by up to 40 degrees or more, or to 10 to 20 degrees after top dead center.    The ignition position may be changed manually or automatically. The exhaust temperature may be sensed and displayed. An engine control system for improving engine performance includes an ignition changing mechanism to change the ignition position of the cylinders, and an activating mechanism for activating the ignition changing mechanism. The system may also include an exhaust sensing mechanism for sensing the temperature of the exhaust system, a display mechanism for displaying an indication of the exhaust system temperature, a comparing mechanism for comparing the temperature to other data, and a control mechanism for controlling the ignition changing mechanism based on the results of the comparison.

Title: Hybrid threaded connection for expandable tubulars
Inventor: HASHEM GHAZI J
IPC: E21B17/02
Filed: 2005-06-21
Abstract: An expandable threaded connection between segments of expandable tubulars that allows the threaded tubular connection to withstand the stresses and deformations imposed on the connection by the tubular expansion process is disclosed. The present invention is a unique hybrid threaded connection that utilizes two complementary thread segments to form the expandable threaded connection. The first segment of the threaded connection utilizes standard box and pin threads such that the threads on the pin member in the area of the first segment fully engage the mating threads on the box member. The second segment of the threaded connection has the threads machined on the pin member in a manner such that material is removed from the stab flank of the pin threads to reduce the standard width of the pin threads. In contrast to the pin threads of the second segment, the box threads of the second segment are standard thread width and, thus, are the same thread width as the box threads in the first segment. The use of the reduced thread width in the pin threads of the second segment allows for a loose fit between the pin threads of the second segment and the box threads of the second segment.  As the threaded connection is expanded, the loose fit between the pin and box threads of the second segment allows radial and axial movement between the pin and box threads of the second segments of the threaded connection without causing disengagement of the threaded connection. The disclosed hybrid threaded connection thus utilizes multiple thread segments in which the second thread segment accommodates the stresses and deformations generated by the radial expansion process while the threads of the first segment maintain the coupling strength and the pressure integrity of the threaded connection.
