Patent CA-2567420-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CRITCHLEY STUART
IPC: B21B31/00
Filed: 2006-11-07
Abstract: The stability of rolling metal sheets on a tandem mill is improved: first by reducing the influence of a disturbance in one stand on the rolling process in the adjacent stands, and second by increasing the stability within the stand. Tension fluctuations caused by a given disturbance are in inverse proportion to the length of the strip involved.  Increasing the length of strip by locating the stands long distances apart is not a practical option, so inter-stand rolls are introduced which divert the strip from its almost straight path from stand to stand. These rolls can further inhibit the transfer of disturbances from stand to stand, through their inherent inertia, and additionally if they have rotational drives attached. It is now practical to configure mill stands such that strip travels vertically between the working rolls improving stability by balancing gravitational influence on lubrication and cooling each side of the strip.

Title: Pressure monitoring of control lines for tool position feedback
Inventor: VACHON GUY
IPC: E21B47/12
Filed: 2005-05-31
Abstract: A flow control device for use in a wellbore to allow flow of formation fluid into the wellbore comprises a valve member adapted to move when disposed in the wellbore. A fluid line supplies a working fluid under pressure to move the valve member to allow the fluid to flow into the wellbore. A sensor in the wellbore, and associated with the fluid line, provides an indication of a position of the valve member. A method of determining a state of a flow control tool within a wellbore comprises supplying fluid under pressure to the flow control tool to move a flow control member of the tool into the state.  Pressure of the supplied fluid is detected downhole. The state of the flow control device is determined from the detected pressure of the supplied fluid.

Abstract: The invention relates to a torque multiplier consisting of two parts which take the form of crosses comprising four arms disposed at 90~ in relation to one another and which are mounted in pairs, aligned, separated and positioned in parallel with a hole at the centre, in which a shaft is fixed in order to serve as the axis of rotation of the assembly. In addition, four rectangular parts are fixed in the 90~ spaces defined by the four arms of the cross-shaped parts, such that, when the assembly rotates, said rectangular parts produce a centrifugal force. In this way, the rectangular parts create a lever effect, with a support point on the axis of rotation, by applying the centrifugal force on the paired, parallel arms of the cross-shaped parts to which they are fixed, in the same direction of rotation, such as to increase the torque.
