Abstract: A downhole tool includes a thru-tubing high expansion, elastomeric inflatable seal and a thru-tubing mechanical anchoring arrangement. A method for separating pressure in a wellbore including actuating a mechanical anchoring system of a thru-tubing downhole tool; inflating a high expansion inflatable elastomeric seal against the tubing subsequent to actuating said mechanical anchor.

Abstract: A through tubing downhole tool, such as a bridge plug is delivered on coiled tubing. The setting process entails an initial pressurization to anchor the tool and compress its sealing element. The remainder of the needed force for setting the tool can come from an upward pull on the coiled tubing. Should more force than can be delivered from a pull on the coiled tubing be required to finish the setting and releasing process from the downhole tool, a jar or impact tool can be incorporated to boost the applied uphole force that is delivered from the pull on the coiled tubing at the surface. Alternatively, a pressure amplifier can be fitted to the coiled tubing so that a smaller pressure applied to the coiled tubing at the surface can deliver the required force to set and release from the downhole tool.

Abstract: An operating device for an electrical and/or electronic apparatus is adapted to the operating behavior of a user. The apparatus has a plurality of operating states which can be chosen or set by way of the operating device. The selection and/or setting, by the user, of the operating states is stored in a memory. A number of how often a given user input is implemented is ascertained and, for the next selection and/or setting of an operating state, that one which is implemented most frequently is suggested. An operating device for carrying out the method has a memory for storage of the implemented selections and/or settings of operating states, a counter for ascertaining the number of how often a selection and/or a setting is implemented, a calculator for ascertaining the frequency of a selection and/or setting and a comparator for ascertaining the most frequently implemented selection and/or settings.

Abstract: A process for producing improved alkaline water includes filtering potable source water to remove selected particles and then purifying the filtered water. Selected alkaline minerals are added to the purified water, with the resulting mineralized water being then electrolyzed to produce streams of acidic water and alkaline water, the alkaline water having a pH within the range of 9-10, a TDS range of 22-240 ppm (parts per million) and alkalinity in the range of 12-216 ppm.
