Publication number: 20140025301Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide techniques for using data from a select set of wells to develop correlations between surface-measured properties and properties typically determined from subsurface measurements (e.g., from logging tool responses, core analysis, or other subsurface measurements). When new wells are drilled, the surface data acquired while drilling may be used as an input to these correlations in order to predict properties associated with subsurface measurements.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2012Publication date: January 23, 2014Inventors: Bruce H. Storm, JR., Barry Fen Zhang, Charles Perry Matula

Patent number: 8362731Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a first member that supports a magnetic flux carrying member and a second member that supports a magnetic flux generating member disposed for movement relative to the first member. An air gap control system is coupled to at least one of the first member or the second member and includes an air gap control device that is separate from a primary magnetic flux circuit formed between the first member and the second member. The air gap control device is configured to exert a force on one of the first and second members in response to movement of the other of the first and second members in a direction that reduces a distance between the first and second members to maintain a minimum distance between the first and second members and/or substantially center the one of the first and second members within the other.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2012Date of Patent: January 29, 2013Assignee: Boulder Wind Power, Inc.Inventors: James S.

Patent number: 7988420Abstract: Third stage turbine buckets have airfoil profiles substantially in accordance with Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y and Z? set forth Table I wherein X and Y values are in inches and the Z? values are non-dimensional values from 0 to 1 convertible to Z distances in inches by multiplying the Z? values by the height of the airfoil in inches. The X and Y values are distances which, when connected by smooth continuing arcs, define airfoil profile sections at each distance Z. The profile sections at each distance Z are joined smoothly to one another to form a complete airfoil shape. The X, Y and Z distances may be scalable as a function of the same constant or number to provide a scaled up or scaled down airfoil section for the bucket. The nominal airfoil given by the X, Y and Z distances lies within an envelope of +/?.0.040 inches in directions normal to the surface of the airfoil.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2007Date of Patent: August 2, 2011Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Brian Peter Arness, Tony A Chiurato, Sze Bun Brian Chan, Bogdan Razvan Raica, Samar Barua, Jacob Charles Perry, II

Publication number: 20070208660Abstract: Let me point out what is new about this process versus the old credit repair process: A) In the old process of credit repair you need to write numerous letters pertaining to each account and/or use codes stipulated in the fair credit reporting act to respond or challenge the credit bureaus. Each letter must be neatly typed or handwritten using the properly codes and/or pre-printed letters (if you bought the software). This usually took a lot of time and confusion for writing the software pre-printed letters and use codes that correspond to each item or letter. You could spend not only a lot of time writing and/or completing letters, you also had to buy stamps for each letter, with could add up to a lot of postage. Also, it did specifically show or explain how to successfully remove a “bankruptcy” from your credit report. B) The new process eliminates wasted time, confusion, and remembering all those codes for each item.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 2, 2006Publication date: September 6, 2007Inventor: Charles Perry

Publication number: 20070000558Abstract: A sludge removal system for removing contaminants from a fluid storage tank. The sludge removal system includes a contaminant intake for receiving contaminants within the tank and a removal member for transporting the contaminants from the contaminant intake to the outside of the tank. The contaminant intake prevents the layer of contaminants or sludge from reaching a predetermined level within the tank. The contaminant intake is formed to define a plurality of perforations that can receive contaminants from the storage tank. Portions of the contaminant intake are in communication with the removal member via joint members, such as flexible or swivel joints. The joint members permit the portions of the contaminant intake to rotationally move between a first position distal to the bottom of the tank and a second position proximate to the bottom of the tank.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 19, 2006Publication date: January 4, 2007Applicant: Fuel Delivery Systems, LLCInventors: STEVEN BURRIS, Charles Perry

Patent number: 6915818Abstract: A fluid pick up device for removing fluid from storage tanks includes an intake, a submerging member that maintains the intake submerged in the fluid, and a float that enables the intake to move in relationship to the level of fluid. The submerging member can include an extension communicating with the intake. The extension can be an adjustable arm connected to a delivery member by a swivel joint. A stopping member can control the arm's range of motion. The intake is angled downward, and the length of the arm is set to prevent the intake from passing into a contaminated volume of fluid near the tank bottom. The intake can also be movable. The adjustable arm can retract into the delivery member.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2004Date of Patent: July 12, 2005Assignee: Fuel Delivery Systems, LLCInventors: Steven Y Burris, Charles A.
