Title: Simulation gridding method and apparatus including a structured areal gridder adapted for use by a reservoir simulator
Inventor: FARMER CHRISTOPHER LEONARD
IPC: G01V1/28
Filed: 1998-06-04
Abstract: A "Flogrid" Simulation Gridding Program is disclosed which includes a Flogrid "structured gridder". Input data is loaded into a Flogrid reservoir data store. The results generated by the reservoir data store are provided to the Flogrid reservoir framework. The reservoir framework is comprised of a structural model and a property model. The structural model will construct 3D structural models and the property model will create and edit properties. A Flogrid upgridder enables the user to group layers within a fine scale model into coarse layers, The results generated by the property model are input to the Flogrid "structured gridder" of this invention. The Flogrid "structured gridder" includes a "structured areal gridder" and a "block gridder". The "structured areal gridder" will build an "areal grid" on an uppermost horizon of an earth formation by performing the following steps: (1) building a boundary enclosing one or more fault intersection lines on the horizon, and building a triangulation that absorbs the boundary and the faults; (2) building a vector field on the triangulation; (3) building a web of control lines and additional lines inside the boundary which have a direction that corresponds to the direction of the vector field on the triangulation, thereby producing an "areal grid"; and (4) post-processing the "areal grid" so that the control lines and additional lines are equi-spaced or smoothly distributed.  The "block gridder" of the "structured gridder" will drop "coordinate lines" down from the nodes of the "areal grid" to complete the construction of a three dimensional "structured grid".  The "structured gridder" provides the "structured grid" to a Flogrid upscaler which samples specified properties within each grid block of the structured grid and performs appropriate averaging to assign a representative grid block property to each grid block of the structured grid, thereby producing a "simulation grid". A reservoir simulator will receive the "simulation grid" and generate a set of "simulation results" which are displayed on a 3D Viewer for observation by a workstation operator.

Patent CA-2243900-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RIDLEY RODNEY K
IPC: G01N11/00
Filed: 1998-07-23
Abstract: A method for evaluating rheological properties of certain non-Newtonian liquids employs the principle of a multiple forced flow of a single sample of the liquid through an orifice, thus effecting a significant elongation of the sample. The liquid is forced through the orifice by means of a piston. Preferably, the orifice is built into the piston so that the liquid remains stationary during the piston advance. The timing and rate of the sequential strokes of the piston are controlled and the differential pressure across the orifice is measured. A function between the timing of the piston strokes, the stroke rate and the differential pressure can be determined. The function has been found to represent a relatively reliable rheological "signature" of the tested liquid.

Title: Percutaneous endomyocardial revascularization
Inventor: ABELA GEORGE S
IPC: A61B5/06
Filed: 1997-02-20
Abstract: This invention is a system and method for percutaneous myocardial revascularization using laser energy emitted from the distal end of a catheter. A technique for controlling beam direction allows the creation of channels in a patient's heart tissue with the channels having different orientations relative to the distal end. An arrangement provides for the creation of a plurality of channels at one time by simultaneous application of a plurality of beams of laser energy. A navigation arrangement uses two non-coplanar magnetic sensing coils (124F, 124T, 124S) in the distal end of the catheter cooperating with three sets of three magnetic field generating external coils (i.e., external to the patient) (120F1-120F3, 120S1-120S3, 120T1-120T3). Each of the three sets is sequentially energized and the sensing coils in the distal end sense the magnetic fields established. A computer compares the sensed fields with the known sequence of energizing the external coils and thereby determines the opposition of the distal end. A pressure sensor in the catheter senses ventricular pressure in the patient's heart during and immediately after revascularization.

IPC: F15B15/14
Filed: 1999-02-17
Abstract: A cylinder includes a cylindrical casing, a cap mounted to the cylindrical casing, a retaining member, a mounting member and a piston rod assembly which is positioned in the interior of the cylindrical casing. The cylindrical casing includes a casing wall which extends along a longitudinal axis and defines an interior, an open end, and a closed end. The piston rod assembly includes a rod end and a piston, with the piston including at least one piston seal sealing against an inner surface of the casing wall, which divides the interior of the casing wall into first and second fluid reservoirs. The rod end of the piston rod assembly extends through the cap and moves between extended positions and retracted positions as a function of the pressures in the first and second reservoirs. The casing wall may have a first annular groove adjacent the open end, and a first port, which is in fluid communication with the first fluid reservoir for delivering fluid to the first fluid reservoir, is provided in either the closed end or the casing wall. The cap includes a second port, which is in fluid communication with the second reservoir for delivering fluid to the second reservoir, and may include a second annular groove which is aligned with the first annular groove of the casing wall when the cap is mounted to the open end of the casing wall, thus defining a cavity therebetween. The retaining member is positioned in the cavity and limits the longitudinal movement of the cap with respect to the cylindrical casing and, yet, permits rotational movement of the cap with respect to the cylindrical casing about the longitudinal axis of the casing, thereby, permitting adjustment of the second port about the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical casing. The mounting member is rotatably secured to the closed end of the cylinder and allows rotation of a mounting attachment relative the cylinder while preventing longitudinal movement therebetween.
