Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé d'adaptation automatique de la vitesse d'un moteur à la vitesse du véhicule pendant un changement de vitesse sur un véhicule à transmission manuelle (37). Le rapport de vitesse couramment sélectionné est déterminé par le rapport de la vitesse du moteur à la vitesse du véhicule. Le chauffeur amorce un changement de vitesse en désengageant l'embrayage (26). Le régime du moteur, avant et après le désengagement de l'embrayage, indique que le chauffeur souhaite monter d'une vitesse ou rétrograder d'un ou deux vitesses. Pendant que l'embrayage (22) est désengagé, l'ordinateur de moteur (58) amène le moteur (22) à la vitesse nécessaire pour un réengagement sans à-coups de l'embrayage. La commande de la vitesse du moteur est rendue au chauffeur dès que l'embrayage se réengage. Le choix de la vitesse est déterminé par le régime du moteur après et avant le désengagement de l'embrayage.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé d'injection d'oxygène dans une coulée à l'intérieur d'un four métallurgique dont l'atmosphère est chauffée, de l'oxygène et un combustible étant injectés dans une ou plusieurs buses dotées de passages à configuration convergeante-divergeante dans des conditions d'écoulement étranglé afin de produire un ou des jets supersoniques qui sont déchargés desdits passages. Le combustible est injecté dans des emplacements circonférentiels internes des passages afin de fournir une structure aux jets déchargés qui présentent une région circonférentielle externe contenant un mélange de combustible et d'oxygène et une région centrale contenant essentiellement de l'oxygène. Un jet structuré au moment de sa décharge interagit avec l'atmosphère du four afin de créer une zone externe de mélange-cisaillement dans laquelle une couche circonférentielle externe se mélange avec l'atmosphère chauffée du four et s'enflamme automatiquement afin de produire une enveloppe de flammes entourant un jet supersonique d'oxygène. Le jet d'oxygène et l'enveloppe de flammes peuvent être dirigés vers une coulée contenue dans le four métallurgique afin d'injecter de l'oxygène dans ladite coulée.

Abstract: A downhole tool including a purely mechanical stabilizer is disclosed. The stabilizer includes a plurality of fixed blades, each of which includes at least one automatically extendable and retractable piston. In use, a balance of forces determines the radial position of each piston; a hydraulic force urging the piston outward, a spring force urging the piston inward, and external forces acting on the tool (e.g., the force of the borehole wall urging the pistons inward). The stabilizer is further configured such that a balance of forces between the pistons causes the tool to be advantageously automatically and continuously centered during rotation of the tool in the borehole. As such, the invention is suitable for use in boreholes that rapidly change size and shape.

Title: Steering component, steering assembly and method of steering a drill bit in a borehole
Inventor: WALKER COLIN
IPC: E21B7/08
Filed: 2009-05-26
Granted: 2016-07-26
Abstract: This invention relates to a steering component, to a steering assembly, and to a method of steering a drill bit in a borehole. The steering component is adapted for connection to a drill string, the drill string carrying a drill bit and a motor for rotating the drill bit. The steering component comprises: a rotatable driveshaft adapted for connection between the drill bit and the motor; a drive mechanism; and an offsetting component; the drive mechanism providing a rotatable connection between the drill string and the offsetting component whereby the drill string can rotate relative to the offsetting component. The drive mechanism is adapted to drive the offsetting component to rotate in an opposed direction to the driveshaft, so as to counter the rotation of the offsetting component which is induced by friction within the componentry as the driveshaft rotates. The steering component and method are likely to have their greatest utility in steering a drill bit during drilling for oil and gas.

Abstract: Devices and methods for setting a packer inside a wellbore with little appreciable reduction of the useable area of the wellbore. The outer casing or liner of the wellbore contains one or more integrated casing coupler joints having an increased diameter chamber portion. A large bore packing element is carried within the increased diameter chamber portion. The packing element may be selectively actuated to form a seal against an interior tubular member. Because the packing element is located within the chamber portion of the casing coupler, the packer may be set while saving useable cross-sectional area within the casing.

Title: Apparatus and process for minimizing catalyst residence time in a reactor vessel
Inventor: HEDRICK BRIAN W
IPC: C10G11/00
Filed: 2007-06-15
Granted: 2014-08-26
Abstract: We have discovered a way to minimize the time that catalyst and gaseous products are in contact after exiting the discharge opening (22) of a reactor conduit (10). The reactor conduit discharges into a disengaging chamber (24) that is directly connected to a separator (32). A dipleg (34) of the separator is directly connected to the disengaging chamber or to an intermediate chamber (64) which is in direct communication with the disengaging chamber. Accordingly, catalyst never gets a chance to become entrained in the large open volume of the reactor vessel. Consequently, catalyst which makes it out of the disengaging chamber is quickly returned back to the disengaging chamber, thereby minimizing the time that catalyst and product gases are in contact after being discharged from the reactor conduit.

Abstract: A storage bin (10) having two side walls (11,12), each having an upper channel (13) and a lower channel (14). The upper and lower channels have a point of entry (15,17) that is partially blocked by a tab (16,18). The storage bin also has a pair of feet (20), which are insertable into the upper channels to stack the bins, or the lower channels to nest the bins. The tabs partially block the points of entry and act as a barrier to inhibit removal of the feet from the channels. Removal of the feet from the channels generally requires a vertical force to lift the feet over the tab, and a horizontal force to slide the feet out of the channel. The channel and tab configuration therefore reduces the risk that the bins will fall into one another, tip over and separate or crack from placing unnecessary stress on the side walls of the bin when inserting and removing the feet from the channel.
