  • Publication number: 20090090499
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention allow the placement of a stand alone device (valve) along a flow path, without a physical connection to the surface or reliance on the borehole for signaling, to provide a means to control the flow between reservoirs. This is achieved using a valve located in the flow path that can be actuated without sending signals down the borehole or well path and thereby eliminating the need for complicated signal lines and or fluid columns to actuate the valve.

  • Patent number: 5769534
    Abstract: An illuminated display box includes one or more display sides. Each side includes identical panel support units connected to angled sidewalls of a bracket on the opposite sides of the display. Each support unit is an integrally extruded U-shaped plastic member, and includes an attachment leg and a panel support leg connected by a U-shaped base. The attachment leg has an edge slot extended over the angled sidewall and fixedly secured by a lanced portion of the angled sidewall. The support leg has an open slot to receive a dual panel unit including superimposed transparent panels between which a display poster is held. The panel units are formed of a flexible and optically clear plastic and have a width in excess of the distance between the slots of the two side panel support units. Insertion of the panel edges into the slots creates a curved panel unit. The display box may have a single display panel unit or a plurality of display panel units arranged to form a plurality of sides of the display box.

  • Patent number: 5215285
    Abstract: A display card holder for releasably mounting a display card, sign, poster, etc. The display card holder serves as a permanent, tamper proof, message holder for inexpensive point of purchase material in a high risk exposure retail environment. The display card holder includes a stand having adhesive thereon for fixing the holder in a conspicuous location, e.g., on top of a cash register or counter top, so that the display card is visible to consumers. The holder further includes a substantially hollow, elongated housing having a body portion and first and second end walls. The housing is secured to the stand by fastening means, so as to allow for angular adjustment of the housing and display card or sign with respect to the stand. The housing includes a longitudinal slot for receiving the display card or sign and which extends along an upper surface of the body portion.

  • Patent number: 4979569
    Abstract: A valve in a tool may be opened and closed by sequential application of a first predetermined annulus pressure and a second predetermined annulus pressure. A first rupture disc ruptures when the first predetermined annulus pressure is applied to the well annulus thereby allowing such pressure to be applied against a surface of an operator and moving the mandrel. This moves a yoke connected to the valve, opening the valve. A second rupture disc ruptures when the second predetermined annulus pressure is applied to the well annulus thereby allowing such pressure to be applied against a surface of a collet mandrel, moving the collet mandrel in a direction opposite to the direction in which the operator mandrel originally moved. Since the collet mandrel is connected to the operator mandrel and to the yoke, movement of the collet mandrel in the opposite direction moves the operator mandrel and the yoke in the opposite direction, thereby closing the valve.

  • Patent number: 4659252
    Abstract: A dam structure for retaining water in a reservoir includes precast concrete panel assembly forming the face or upstream side. A bonded impervious liner means, such as polyvinylchloride sheet, is provided on the downstream face of the precast concrete panels assembly. The liner means includes individual membranes bonded to adjacent panels, and heat welded impervious strips are provided along the joints between the panels. A poured concrete curtain wall is provided adjacent the liner means of the precast concrete panel assembly. Roller compacted concrete (RCC) is then provided in layers on the downstream side of the poured concrete curtain wall. An elongated, substantially horizontal blocking sheet of polyvinylchloride membrane is also provided at least adjacent the base of the dam to prevent water migrating upward through the dam between the precast concrete panels and the poured concrete curtain wall.
