Abstract: A hydraulic pump avoids problems with gas lock found in conventional pumps. The pump draws in production fluid in a lower pump volume during the pump's upstroke and diverts the produced fluid to an upper pump volume during the downstroke. Spent power fluid is communicated to the upper pump volume during the pump's upstroke. The pump piston in the upstroke expels the entire volume via a check valve that communicates the upper pump volume with a discharge outlet. The check valve increasing the discharge pressure of the upper pump volume, the upper pump volume of the spent power fluid being greater than the upper pump volume, and the upper pump piston compressing produced gas in the upper pump volume all combine to prevent or reduce the chances that the pump will gas lock during operation.

Abstract: In a plane emission device comprising a transparent substrate, a light scattering layer formed on a surface of the transparent substrate, and a luminescent body of organic or inorganic material which is formed on a surface of the light scattering layer and emits light by light or electric energy, efficiency to takeout light to outside is improved. The light scattering layer contains binder and two kinds of fillers, and when a refraction index of the binder is assumed as Nb, a refraction index of one of the two kinds of fillers is assumed as Nf1, and a refraction index of the other is assumed as Nf2, a relationship that Nf2>Nb>Nf1 is satisfied. Since the light scattering layer contains two kinds of fillers, disorder occurs in critical angle when light exits from the light scattering layer to the transparent substrate, incidence rate of light into the transparent substrate rises, and efficiency to takeout the light to outside increases.
