  • Character-based electronic device, system, and method of using the same
    Patent number: 9821237
    Abstract: Character-based electronic devices, systems, and methods of using the same are described. More particularly, character-based electronic devices having an actuator are described. An exemplary character-based electronic device comprises a housing, an actuator, a communication bus (e.g., USB hub), a component, and a light source. The component is attached to the communication bus and the actuator such that movement of the actuator relative to the housing alters a condition of the component.

  • Process for in SITU upgrading of heavy hydrocarbon
    Patent number: 6405799
    Abstract: A process for in situ upgrading of a heavy hydrocarbon includes the steps of (a) positioning a well in a reservoir containing a heavy hydrocarbon having an initial API gravity of less than or equal to about 8; (b) injecting a light solvent into the well at reservoir conditions so as to provide an upgraded hydrocarbon in the reservoir, the upgraded hydrocarbon having an improved API gravity greater than the initial API gravity; and (c) producing the upgraded hydrocarbon from the well.

  • Process for the downhole upgrading of extra heavy crude oil
    Patent number: 5891829
    Abstract: A down hole hydroconversion process improves the viscosity, API gravity, and distillate proportions of heavy crude oils by employing a hydrogen donor, methane and steam down hole wherein the mineral formation down hole acts as a catalyst for the hydroconversion process.
