  • Publication number: 20240125304
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a system and a method for generating energy from geothermal sources. The system includes an injection well and a production well extending underground into a rock formation, a first lateral section connected to the injection well and a second lateral section connected to the production well, the first and second lateral sections connected with a multilateral connector, defining a pressure-tested downhole well loop within the rock formation and in a heat transfer arrangement therewith. The downhole well loop cased in steel and cemented in place within the rock formation. The downhole well loop to receive working fluid capable of undergoing phase change between liquid and gas within the downhole well loop as a result of heat transferred from the rock formation. The system also includes a pump to circulate working fluid, a turbine system to convert the flow of working fluid into electricity, and a cooler.

  • Publication number: 20070125280
    Abstract: Blow molded plastic structures are provided for use in various structures such as, but not limited to, tables, chairs, walls, backboards, storage bins, sports equipment and the like. The blow molded plastic structure has a first surface and a second surface extending between a first end and a second end and forming a chamber there between. A plurality of depressions is formed on the second surface and extends into the chamber. The depressions are usually unitary structures formed by a depression wall. Generally, the steeper the depression wall, the more strength is provided to the structure. In addition, where the plurality of depressions has a low profile and a greater density, increased strength is provided to the structure. The depressions may or may not be joined to the first surface.

  • Patent number: 5454362
    Abstract: A device for holding an arrow to an overdraw rest system of a bow comprising a first plate; a second plate; a mechanism for coupling the first plate to the second plate to define an L-shaped configuration; a flapper stop pin coupled to the edge of the first plate opposite the edge where the first and second plates are coupled, the pin extending therefrom; a flapper having a first end, second end, and intermediate portion therebetween, the first end having a adapted to be rotatably coupled to the first plate near the flapper stop pin, the second end adapted to hold the shaft of an arrow securely to an overdraw rest system until the arrow is ready to fire, whereupon firing, the rubber flapper releases its hold of the arrow, causing the second end to rotate about the first end until the intermediate portion makes contact with the flapper stop pin, whereby ensuring that the flapper does not make contact with the arrow and alter its direction of flight; a mechanism for rotatably coupling the flapper to the plate;
