Abstract: Methods and devices are provided for treating multiple interval well bores. More particularly, an isolation assembly may be used to allow for zonal isolation to allow treatment of selected productive or previously producing intervals in multiple interval well bores. One example of a method for treating a multiple interval well bore includes the steps of: introducing an isolation assembly to a well bore, the isolation assembly comprising a liner, one or more sleeves and a plurality of swellable packers, wherein the sleeves and swellable packers are disposed about the liner; deploying a shifting tool inside the liner, where the sleeves are configured so as to provide open, closed and open to screen positions when actuated by the shifting tool. An open position allows for treatment of the well bore while an open to screen position allows for receiving fluid from the well bore. A closed position reestablishes zonal isolation.

Abstract: Exercise apparatus and method with selectively variable stabilization enabling a user to progressively increase his/her core body muscular strength. In various embodiments, the exercise apparatus includes a resistance cabling system providing a user defined line of motion, and a partial stabilizer pad being adjustably positionable offset from the line of motion, wherein the user's core body is positionable against the pad and required to resist the torque created by the offset. The user can progressively increase the distance between the line of motion and partial stabilizer pad, in order to progressively increase the force which the user's core body must resist to maintain an upright stature. In this way, the user can progressively, over time, increase his or her core body strength. A vertically and rotatably adjustable handle/arm assembly, resistance cabling and pulley assembly, and an overall exercise apparatus having a relatively small footprint but allowing multiple variable exercise routines, are also provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of converting a raw material stream into a product stream by passing said raw material stream through a bed of fluidized solid particles and allowing heat exchange to occur between the bed of fluidized solid particles and the raw material stream, said method being characterized in that it alternately employs a production mode and a restoration mode to control the temperature of the bed of fluidized solid particles: -said production mode comprising passing the raw material stream through the bed of fluidized solid particles and allowing the temperature of the fluidized solid particles in the bed to decrease or to increase as a result of the production energy associated with the conversion of the raw materials stream into the product stream; and -said restoration mode comprising restoring the temperature of the bed of fluidized solid particles by passing a restoration stream through the bed of fluidized solid particles to decrease the temperature of the fluidized solid particles in case the temperature of the fluidized solid particles has increased during the production mode or to increase the temperature of the fluidized solid particles in case the temperature of the fluidized solid particles has decreased during the production mode, and that -the fluidized solid particles are kept in the same reactor. The present method enables continuous operation of the fluidized bed reactor without the need of recirculating externally heated or cooled solid bed particles and/or for special heat exchange equipment placed inside or enclosing the fluidized bed reactor.

Abstract: L’invention concerne des rideaux supérieurs pour abris de quai ou sas d'étanchéité. Dans un exemple, un ensemble rideau supérieur pour quai de chargement de véhicules comprend un rideau escamotable (22) renforcé par un panneau en mousse (34) à compression élastique qui est plus souple autour d'un axe horizontal qu'autour d'un axe vertical. La différence de souplesse directionnelle peut être créée par assemblage par couture du panneau en mousse (34) à une couverture pliable (38) au moyen d'une série de lignes de fil horizontaux parallèles. Les lignes de fil créent dans la mousse une série d'indentations comprimées (36) qui traversent horizontalement le rideau (22) de sorte que celui-ci (22) tende à fléchir plus facilement le long de ces lignes. La raideur relative dans le sens horizontal permet au rideau (22) d'exercer une force adhésive appréciable contre deux éléments de sas d'étanchéité latéraux; et la souplesse verticale facilite un escamotage vertical du rideau (22) qui adapte celui-ci (22) à des véhicules de différentes hauteurs. Des dispositifs de fixation par contact (60, 62, 66, 68, 70, 74) permettent de remplacer facilement nombre des éléments individuels du rideau supérieur.
