  • Identification of the causative mutation for leopard complex spotting and congenital stationary night blindness in equines and a method for testing for same
    Patent number: 8993232
    Abstract: Methods are provided for determining whether or not a horse is genetically normal, is a carrier of, or is affected with or predisposed to Congenital Stationary Night Blindness and/or leopard complex spotting. The method is based on detection of an insertion in an intron in the horse Transient Receptor Potential Cation Channel, Subfamily M, Member 1 (TRPM1) gene.

  • Selective mono bore diverter system
    Patent number: 6142225
    Abstract: The invention provides a selective system of placing a guide stock into a wellbore by braided line, coil tubing or drill pipe. The device facilitates selective intervention by providing a selective orientation key an angular relationship to the lateral through a system of selective keys and dogs allowing the diverter of the guide stock to be aligned at any desired angle with the orientation sub. The orientation sub includes a key for picking up on a helical slot in the packer to rotate the assembly and a set of selectively profiled dogs to engage a selected packer and halt downhole movement of the device.

  • Lateral seal and control system
    Patent number: 5787987
    Abstract: A downhole multilateral completion tool is disclosed which includes a premachined window joint and a production tube adapted to be moved downhole through the window joint and kicked off into the pre-drilled lateral. A flange and seal form a part of the uphole end of the production tube and provide a 3500 psi seal after the production tube is placed in the lateral. The invention, moreover, includes an energizing sleeve which biases the flange into a sealed position and a packer which by pulling the production tube, enhances the seal of the flange.
