Title: Methods of making cement compositions using liquid additives containing lightweight beads
Inventor: VARGO RICHARD F JR
IPC: C09K8/467
Filed: 2005-04-14
Abstract: Methods of making a cement composition include combining a liquid additive comprising lightweight beads and fluid with a cement, wherein the liquid additive is substantially absent of a water absorbing material. The liquid additive may further comprise a dispersant. A mass ratio of the fluid to the lightweight beads in the liquid additive may be less than or equal to about 1:1.

Title: Surface Representation from a Point Cloud
Inventor: JONES DIDIER-MADOC
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 2008-01-08
Abstract: This invention relates to a computer-implemented method of creating a representation of the surface of an object from a point cloud comprising data points. Each point defines a position on the surface of an object. The method comprises fitting trend lines (<B>1003</B>, <B>1005</B>, <B>1007</B>) to the data points, wherein a trend line represents a surface contour of the object. Intersection points (in subcells <B>1001d</B> and <B>1001b</B>) between trend lines are determined wherein an intersection point represents a corner feature of the surface of the object. An output comprising data defining the trend lines and intersection points to represent the surface of the object is produced. The object may be a building, typically in a model of a town or city.

Title: Reinforced open-hole zonal isolation packer
Inventor: O'MALLEY EDWARD L
IPC: E21B17/10
Filed: 2006-07-14
Abstract: A packer device and methods of use for a packer within uncased wellbore to form a complete fluid seal. The packer device (36) includes a central mandrel body (44) that retains a plurality of nested, telescopic expanding elements (50) that are moveable outwardly from the mandrel body. The mandrel body and expanding elements are surrounded by a load- distributing structure (58) as well as a sealing element (60), which is typically comprised of elastomer.

Title: Improvements in the treatment of artificial filaments, threads, ribbons and similar materials of organic derivatives of cellulose
IPC: D01F2/28
Filed: 1935-04-01
Abstract: A process for the treatment of artificial filaments, threads ribbons and similar materials having a basis of organic derivatives of cellulose comprises subjecting them in the absence of tension sufficient to stretch them to treatment with neutral organic shrinking agents particularly latent solvents such as methylene chloride, ethylene chloride, chloroform tetrachlorethane or ethyl acetate at a temperature of 12 DEG  C. or less.  Suitable diluents may be added to the shrinking agents, preferably diluents with boiling points of 80 DEG  C. or less.  Examples are benzene, hexahydrobenzene, petroleum ether, carbon tetrachloride, ethyl chloride, dichlorethylene, or ethyl-isopropyl ether or di-isopropyl ether.  The yarns may be treated in hank form or during travel from one point to another, the shrinking agent being applied either in a bath or as a vapour.  The degree of shrinkage may be controlled by means of positively driven rollers.  The shrinking may be effected continuously with production of the yarns or with stretching or saponification processes.  It is particularly valuable for yarns which have been stretched, e.g. in presence of steam or hot water as in Specifications 438,584, 438,585, 438,586, 438,587, 438,655, and 438,656.  Cellulose ester yarns treated according to the present invention may be saponified, e.g. as described in Specifications 402,104, 402,105, 402,106, 417,220, 428,224, 429,103, 430,349, 430,350, 430,351, 432,027, and 432,028.  Cellulose acetate yarns in warp form may be stretched in the presence of steam, shrunk according to the invention and then saponified.  Examples are given employing as shrinking agents mixtures of 60--70 per cent methylene chloride and 40--30 per cent ethyl chloride at 6--10 DEG  C., and mixtures of 75--80 per cent methylene chloride and 25--20 per cent petroleum ether at 10--12 DEG  C.  In each case rollers are used and a shrinkage of 10--12 or 15 per cent obtained.  Specification 389,823 also is referred to.
