Patent CA-2854546-A1 (CA)
Title: Method, machine, and computer medium having computer program to detect and evaluate structural anomalies in circumferentially welded pipelines
Inventor: DUCKWORTH NOEL
IPC: G01N27/83
Filed: 2014-06-17
Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide methods, machines, and a computer medium or media having computer programs to determine presence anomalies in circumferential welds of one or more pipelines transporting fluids associated with energy therethrough. Wave form analysis or pattern recognition in pipeline data such as magnetic flux leakage data is employed. A screening process, for example, does not affect or change how survey data is recorded such as in survey tools; only how it is analyzed after the survey data is completed. Embodiments of the machines, methods, and computer medium having computer programs can be used to screen for anomalies potentially threatening the structural integrity of the one or more pipelines so that site excavation can occur for confirmation and validation of the output results.

Title: Modulating function of neural structures near the ear
Inventor: BORSODY MARK KLINGLER
IPC: A61N1/40
Filed: 2012-12-04
Abstract: Stimulation of the facial nerve system (e.g., electrically, electromagnetically, etc.) in ischemic stroke patients will cause dilation of occluded arteries and dilation of surrounding arteries, allowing for blood flow to circumvent the obstruction and reach previously-deprived tissue. The device approaches the facial nerve and its branches in the vicinity of the ear. In use, the device can be inserted into the ear canal and/or placed in proximity to the ear in order to stimulate the facial nerve system non-invasively (e.g., using an electromagnetic field). The device can be used in the emergency treatment of acute stroke or chronically variations for long-term maintenance of blood flow to the brain and stroke prevention. Additional embodiments of the device may be adapted for use on different regions of the body.

Patent CA-2875547-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WILLBERG DEAN
IPC: E21B43/267
Filed: 2008-08-21
Abstract: A method is given for treating a wellbore in a subterranean formation by hydraulic fracturing, slickwater fracturing, gravel packing, and the like, by using plate-like materials as some or all of the proppant or gravel. The plate-like materials are particularly useful in complex fracture systems, for example in shales. They may be used as from about 20 to about 100% of the proppant. Relative to conventional proppants, plate-like proppants demonstrate (a) enhanced crush resistance of the proppant due to better stress distribution among proppant particles, (b) diminished proppant embedment into formation fracture faces due to the greater contact surface area of proppant particles with the formation, (c) better proppant transport due to lower proppant settling rates, (d) deeper penetration into branched and fine fracture networks, and (e) enhanced proppant flowback control. Preferred plate-like proppants are layered rocks and minerals; most preferred is mica.

Title: Methods and systems for upgrading heavy oil using catalytic hydrocracking and thermal coking
Inventor: HARRIS EVERETTE
IPC: C10G47/06
Filed: 2013-07-26
Abstract: Methods and systems for hydro processing heavy oil feed stocks to form an upgraded material involve the use of a well-dispersed metal sulfide catalyst (e.g., colloidal or molecular catalyst) dispersed within a heavy oil feedstock, a pre-coking hydro cracking reactor, a separator, and a coking reactor. The metal sulfide catalyst promotes upgrading reactions that reduce the quantity of asphaltenes or other coke forming precursors in the feedstock, increase hydrogen to carbon ratio in the upgraded material, and decrease boiling points of hydrocarbons in the upgraded material. The methods and systems can be used to upgrade vacuum tower bottoms and other low grade heavy oil feed stocks. The result is one or more of increased conversion level and yield, improved quality of upgraded hydrocarbons, reduced coke formation, reduced equipment fouling, processing of a wider range of lower quality feed stocks, and more efficient use of supported catalyst if used in combination with the metal sulfide catalyst, as compared to a conventional hydro cracking process or a conventional thermal coking process.
