Title: Use of downhole high pressure gas in a gas-lift well
Inventor: HIRSCH JOHN MICHELE
IPC: E21B47/12
Filed: 2001-03-02
Abstract: A gas-lift petroleum well (38, 98, 150) and method for producing petroleum products using downhole pressurized gas to provide lift. The gas-lift well (38, 98, 150) comprises a well casing (22), a production tubing (24), a pack er (40), and a gas-lift valve (148). The packer (40) can comprises an electrically controllable packer valve (44), which is adapted to control a flow of downhole pressurized gas from one side of the packer to another. The  downhole pressurized gas is provided by a gas zone that the wellbore passes through. The downhole gas-lift valve (148) is coupled to the tubing (24) and  is adapted to control a flow of downhole pressurized gas into oil in the tubing for lifting the oil. The gas-lift valve (148) can be an electrically controllable valve. The tubing (24) and casing (22) are used as electrical conductors for supplying power and/or communications downhole.
Patent CA-2403493-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FISHER DANIEL
IPC: E21B43/12
Filed: 2001-10-08
Abstract: A programmable controller monitors and operates a variety of analogue and digital devices. An on-cycle of the well is initiated based on a pressure differential measured between a casing pressure and a sales line pressure. When a predetermined ON pressure differential is observed, the controller initiates the on-cycle and open a motor valve to permit fluid and gas accumulated in the tubing to be urged out of the well. Thereafter, the controller initiates a mandatory flow period and maintains the motor valve open for a period of time.  During sales time, the controller monitors the gas flow through an orifice disposed in the sales line. When the measure pressure differential across the orifice is less than or equal to a predetermined OFF pressure differential, the controller initates the off cycle. The off cycle starts with a mandatory shut-in period to allow the plunger to fall back into the well.

Title: Surgical staple
Inventor: CUMMINGS CRHISTY
IPC: A61B17/064
Filed: 2002-06-04
Abstract: A generally U-shaped surgical staple comprises a base 10 and a pair of generally "L"-shaped legs 12 extending substantially perpendicularly from opposite ends of the base respectively. The legs 12 in use of the staple are bent through approximately 9~ relative to the base. To effect a greater compression of the stapled tissue the legs include a penetrative portion 16 adjacent the tip and a compressive structure 30 which, due to its increased height relative to that of the penetrative portion, spreads the compressive forces of the staple further along the length of the incision being closed.  The compressive portion also provides a depth stop to avoid the tip penetrating too deeply into the tissue in which it is deployed.
