Title: Inhibition of paraffin deposition in oil wells by use of an electromagnetic field
Inventor: JUENKE MICHAEL
IPC: B08B9/02
Filed: 2007-08-23
Abstract: A method for treating hydrocarbon fluids to inhibit the deposition of paraffin compounds on the interior of pipes and other surfaces includes injecting a catalyst fluid containing scale forming compounds into the hydrocarbon fluid. The scale forming compounds may be calcium carbonate, calcium bicarbonate, calcium, bicarbonate barium sulfate, or other compounds/ingredients. The catalyst fluid may be an aqueous or non-aqueous solution. The method further includes inducing an electromagnetic field in the fluid so as to cause the formation of seed crystals from the scale forming compounds. The paraffin will then adhere to the seed crystals, i.e., scale particles. The resulting particles can then be filtered out or otherwise removed from the solution. Paraffin deposition on the interior of pipes and other surfaces is therefore inhibited. Also disclosed are hydrocarbon wells and other piping systems constructed to take advantage of the described techniques.

Title: Fiber optic transceiver and receptacle having a floating transmitter port
Inventor: JEON YONG M
IPC: G02B6/38
Filed: 2007-11-30
Abstract: The invention provides a "floating" port assembly of a receptacle (10) of a transceiver (1). The configuration allows a transmitter port assembly 55 to float conically (e.g., angularly from side to side and up and down) relative to the axial direction of a receptacle sleeve 23 inside of the receptacle when a mechanical load placed on an optical fiber cable connected to the receptacle is transferred to the sleeve of the port assembly. The port assembly has a spring-return mechanism 45 e.g. an O-ring that biases the assembly such that it returns to its original center position when the load is removed. This floating isolates the ferrule 47 of the optical fiber cable and the sleeve of the receptacle from external loadings transmitted via the fiber optic cable. Isolating the ferrule and the sleeve from the external loading reduces the effects of these external wiggle loads on the optical performance of the transmitter of the transceiver.
