  • Patent number: 8622125
    Abstract: An apparatus for allowing fluid flow inside at least one screen and outside a span of pipe disposed in a well bore includes at least one flow path for fluid entering at least one screen. The flow path extends from the screen(s) along the outside of the pipe at least one desired entry inlet into the pipe without at least substantial entry at any point therebetween.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8317349
    Abstract: The invention relates to a lighting system intended to light the interior of cabinets of the type used in commercial refrigerators, having glass doors. The system is based on a series of three interconnected LEDs mounted on a printed circuit board (PCB). The assembly is inserted into a diffusion tube, the shape of which enables optimized light emission and is designed for sections installed inside cabinet door frames. The LEDs can be powered by a current or voltage source and the manner in which the LEDs are housed along the inner periphery of the door enables the optimized lighting of the items on display.

  • Publication number: 20090120647
    Abstract: In some embodiments, apparatus for restricting the flow of fluid from an earthen formation into at least one interior space of a tubular member includes a passageway fluidly connecting the earthen formation and the at least one interior space of the tubular member. At least one swellable member is expandable into the passageway between the interior space of the tubular member and the earthen formation.

  • Patent number: 7506691
    Abstract: An upper-completion single trip system is described which includes a hydraulic internal seal receptacle assemble. The HISR assembly includes an overshot assembly selectively connected to a mandrel assembly. Once fully actuated, relative axial motion therebetween is allowed, which provides a spacer apparatus for the tubing above and below the HISR assembly. A shearable anchor latch as well as an indexing mule shoe are also provided in the HISR system, which allow multiple completion steps to be performed in a single trip. The HISR system is particularly well-suited for installation of permanent downhole gauges or intelligent systems—installations where rotation of pipe is prohibited. The system is also particularly well-suited for submersible pumps. A method of performing multiple completion activities in a single trip is also described.
