Patent CA-2287408-C (CA)
Title: Endolumenal stent-graft with leak-resistant seal
Inventor: LAU LILIP
IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 1997-12-09
Granted: 2003-08-05
Abstract: An implantable medical device has a tubular member and a sealing member secured to an outer surface of the tubular member. The tubular member is expandable to engage an endolumenal wall and has a lumen for providing an artificial conduit for flow through an endolumenal space defined by that wall.  The seal member occludes flow around the tubular member between the outer surface and the endolumenal wall. One suitable tubular member for use in the present invention is a stent-graft which may be bifurcated for use in protecting vascular wall malformations adjacent to vascular bifurcations against endolumenal pressure and flow. The seal member may be a flange that is oriented on the outer surface at one end of the tubular member as a one-way valve against flow. Multiple seal members may be used, either on opposite ends of the tubular member or in series at one end therof. Where anchors are used to secure the tubular member to the endolumenal wall, the seal member is positioned to protect against flow through leakage paths formed at localized areas of deformation in the tubular wall adjacent to the anchors. One or more seal members may also be used with two or more tubular members to prevent flow through endolumenal spaces that remain open to flow due to gaps between the multiple, parallel tubular members.

Title: Method and apparatus for handling and disposal of oil and gas well drill cuttings
Inventor: DIETZEN GARY H
IPC: E21B41/00
Filed: 2000-05-15
Granted: 2004-08-10
Abstract: A method and apparatus for removing drill cuttings from an oil and gas well drilling platform provides for the separation of drill cuttings from at least a volume of the well drilling fluid (i.e. drilling mud) on the drilling platform so that the drilling fluids can be recycled into the well bore. The cuttings are then transferred to a cuttings collection receptacle (eg. trough) on the platform. The separated drill cuttings are then suctioned with a first suction line having an intake portion. The suctioned drill cuttings are transmitted to a processing tank (or multiple such tanks) on the platform, each having a tank interior. A vacuum is formed within the processing tank interior with a blower that is in fluid communication with the tank interior via a second vacuum line. The tank is connected to a floating work boat with a discharge flow line. Cuttings are processed within the tank, being chopped or cut into smaller size particles with a pump that is preferably contained within the processing tank. Cuttings are slurrified or liquefied in the processing tank, then transmitted from the tank to the work boat via the flow line. Multiple holding tanks can be positioned on the drilling platform for storage of cuttings until a work boat arrives. The work boat can be provided with one or more high capacity work boat holding tanks (for example 100-1000 barrels) for receiving cuttings from the multiple holding tanks on the drilling platform when disposal is desired.

Abstract: The present invention intends to provide a zipper pull of a slider for slide fastener formed of resilient body on which no unreasonable force is applied when the fastener is opened or closed and which is always kept in a stabilized condition that it is urged to be fallen onto a slider body without swinging freely. A yoke which is a zipper pull mounting portion is mounted on a top face of a slider body. A half-annular shaped zipper pull formed of resilient body is fixed to lateral bars at front and rear ends of a rectangular connecting body longer than the slide body. A lateral bar is provided in the center of the connecting body and inserted through an automatic locking pawl lever incorporated in the yoke. Neck portions are provided in the vicinity of a fixing portion at the front and rear ends so that the zipper pull is elastically deformable easily. A grip portion is provided at a position apart from the fixing portion so that the zipper pull is easy to grip.      Further, a feature of the zipper pull of this invention is that a central portion to be disposed on the slider body of the connecting body is low while the sides of the fixing portions on both ends are located higher and extended horizontally with a step. Consequently, when the zipper pull is brought up slightly, the locking pawl lever can be raised so that the slider can be slid. The zipper pull is always kept in such a stabilized condition that it is fallen to the slider body.
