Title: Surface controlled subsurface safety valve
Inventor: GOKDAG EMRAH
IPC: E21B34/06
Filed: 2012-08-13
Abstract: A safety valve for subsurface disposal equipped with an interfacing element of elastomeric and non-elastomeric components. The components include an elastomeric energizing component and a non-elastomeric seal ring configured to work together in attaining an internal seal sufficient for allowing the valve to remain consistently closed. Indeed, the aid afforded by the interfacing element may allow the valve to remain consistently and effectively closed even in particularly low pressure well environments or those of widely varying temperatures.

Title: A night vision attachment for an optical rifle scope
Inventor: ADAM NICOS ADAMOU
IPC: G02B23/12
Filed: 2016-03-29
Abstract: A night vision attachment for coupling to the viewing end of an optical rifle scope S is disclosed. The attachment unit is an add-on housing 10 that includes a deflector 11 such as a mirror or a prism, a camera 12 with infrared capabilities, and a view-finder 14, which may receive an image from the camera. The distance of the path of light travelled from the scope S to the camera 12 corresponds to a defined eye relief distance R of the scope S, which is determined during set up. The attachment can be fitted to a regular day-scope. The invention provides the advantage that the shooter does not need to adjust his shooting position, since the eye relief R will be unchanged and the eye E of the shooter remains in line with the scope S due to the position of the view finder 14. The eye relief of the viewfinder provides sufficient distance to the eye of the user to avoid impact during recoil of the rifle.
