  • Publication number: 20100294506
    Abstract: A method for removing fluids from a commingled well comprises positioning a fluid removal system in the well. In addition, the method comprises sealing a first formation from a second formation, shutting in the annulus, and closing off an inner flow passage of a tubing string. Further, the method comprises allowing the pressure of the first and second production zones to build up naturally. Still further, the method comprises flowing a fluid from the first production zone through a first of a plurality of check valves into the inner flow passage, and flowing a fluid from the second production zone through a second of the plurality of check valves into the inner flow passage. Moreover, the method comprises re-opening the inner flow passage of the tubing string and lifting the fluid in the inner flow passage to the surface.

  • Publication number: 20100263901
    Abstract: A water drain for a busway housing at the lowest point in a busway, typically at the elbow transition from vertical to horizontal and at the outside to inside junction of a building. There is a bulge made in the lowermost housing edge with a drain hole. A cap is fitted over the drain hole so no debris/conductors can blow in, but water leaks out.

  • Patent number: 7768694
    Abstract: A doubly-resonant cavity structure includes at least one cavity structures so as to allow total frequency conversion for second or third-harmonic generation using ?(2) and ?(3) nonlinearities between the at least one cavity structures. The total frequency conversion is efficiently optimized by determining a critical power allowing for such total frequency conversion to occur depending on the cavity parameters of the at least one cavity structures.

  • Patent number: 7718895
    Abstract: A device for electrical connection of two sections of a pre-fabricated electrical canalization electrical canalization has a certain number of conducting bars extending substantially parallel to one another. This device includes a first set of at least one portion of bars and a second set of at least another portion of bars, where the portions of bars of the first set at least partially and respectively overlap the portions of bars of the second set, and the portions of bars of the first set of bars are in electrical contact respectively with the portions of bars of the second set over a contact zone. The two sets of portions of bars are movable with respect to one another to modify the overlap length of the portions of bars and the length of the connection device. The device includes means for securing the two sets of portions of bars in a selected adjustment position.

  • Publication number: 20090205826
    Abstract: A method for increasing the fluid productivity of a hydraulically fractured well and reducing the production of particulate proppant plugging during production of fluids from a hydraulic fracture in a subterranean formation penetrated from an earth surface by a well by the use of smart memory particles and dissolvable proppant particles in the fracturing fluid.

  • Patent number: 7524092
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rear-view mirror for vehicles, which consists of compatible, combinable and exchangeable modules such as: (A) and (B), or integrated (A+B), functional, signal, lighting and sensor modules, and structural (C), (D) and (E) modules; cover-housing, body-housing and support which may include functional modules. (A), (B) and (A+B) fulfill their function even if the rear-view mirror is folded. They use a multifocal light source of LED's inserted into a flexible and orientable circuit and/or a mixed rigid-flexible circuit-combining LED's+bulbs and other lighting elements, with variable optical and reflective means enabling more than one signal from one same transparent surface with direct light output, indirect-reflected light output and/or through intermediate optical light guides depending on the directions required in the front, the side, the back and the lateral ground for different commands, applications and safety signals.
