Abstract: Expandable casing has an expandable slip used for completion of a mono-diameter wellbore. The expandable casing is run through the upper casing and has an upper end that overlaps a lower end to form a fluid flow path between the expandable casing and the upper casing. The operator expands the overlapping portion of the expandable casing to an intermediate position, causing the expandable slip to anchor the expandable casing to the upper causing without blocking the flow path. Cement is then pumped up around the outside of the expandable casing and wellbore fluid displaced by the cement and excess cement are permitted to flow through the fluid flow path and up the upper casing. After sufficient cement is in place, the expandable casing is further expanded, compressing the expandable slip into to the inner wall of the upper casing and sealing off the fluid flow path.

IPC: F16B13/14
Filed: 2008-01-17
Abstract: An anchor has an anchor rod (3) which must be rotated during the setting of the anchor, an anchor plate (4), and an anchor nut (1). The screw thread in the anchor nut (1) matches the screw thread of the anchor rod (3) only for part of the threaded bore (13). Thus the anchor nut (1) can be screwed only a little further on the anchor rod (3) and can be used to rotate said rod during the setting of the anchor up to a specific torque. As soon as the anchor rod (3) fits tightly in the bore hole by means of cementing, mortar, or expansion, the anchor rod (3) forms a continuous thread in the threaded bore (13) when the anchor nut (1) is rotated relative to the anchor rod (3), such that the anchor nut (1) can be screwed finally so far down on the anchor rod (3) that said anchor nut fixes the anchor plate (4) in the final position on the substrate (7).
Patent CA-2683978-A1 (CA)
Title: Dental implant system
Inventor: MENZEL MICHAEL
IPC: A61C8/00
Filed: 2008-04-15
Abstract: The invention relates to a dental implant system comprising an implant and a superstructure (10; crown, bridge, etc). The implant is made as one piece and extends from the bone region to the height of the approximal gum papillae. The enossal (1, 2) and gingival regions (3) of the implant are formed corresponding to diagnostically derived patient data. As a result, the enossal region is adapted precisely to the shape of the ridge of the jaw, and completely fills the bone dehiscence arising from the implantation. The gingival region (3) correspondingly fills the cavity in the gingiva. The superstructure (10) is connected over the entire surface to the transgingival implant head (4), which both fill the remaining cavity of the gingiva, and is also connected to a prosthetic abutment pin (7) on the implant. The adapted surface structure thereof allows complete growing together in the enossal and gingival regions. Formation of gum pockets is completely prevented. No micromovements can occur in the implant system due to the construction thereof. Optimal force distribution is also ensured. The enossal region of the implant can also have a rotationally asymmetrical shape.
