  • Publication number: 20250020034
    Abstract: A non-pressure sensitive (“NPS”) module. The NPS module may include a mandrel, a lug assembly, a release sleeve, and a retention mechanism. The mandrel may have fluid pathways that balance pressure uphole of the mandrel and downhole of the mandrel when the NPS module is positioned within the borehole. The lug assembly may extend at least partially through the mandrel, a lug of the lug assembly extendable through a port in the liner hanger to prevent setting of the liner hanger when the lug assembly is in a run-in position. The release sleeve may be coupled to the lug assembly and operable to shift the lug assembly from a run-in position to an intermediate position that allows the liner hanger to be set. The retention mechanism may be operable to prevent the lug assembly from shifting to a retracted position until run-in tool is pulled uphole.

  • Patent number: 11230109
    Abstract: In a continuous ink jet printer for use with pigmented ink, the entrance to the ink path (81), (35) from the interior of the ink tank (27) to the ink pump (31) is made up of a plurality of small inlet openings, which may be provided by nozzles 85 formed in a shroud 83 that fits around an ink filter (33) in the ink tank (27). The openings are provided at the bottom of the ink tank (27), close to the floor, and face parallel to the floor or at least partially towards it. If the ink pump (31) is driven in reverse, any ink in the ink path is driven at speed out through the inlet openings into the interior of the ink tank (27), followed by air. This tends to disperse pigment that may have settled to the bottom on the ink tank (27).

  • Patent number: 11156181
    Abstract: A method of operating a hydrogen-fueled internal combustion engine. The engine is determined to have a mode control value, which represents a threshold torque. During operation of the engine, a demanded torque of the internal combustion engine is determined and compared to the threshold torque. If the demanded torque is less than the threshold torque, the engine is operated in a low load mode that uses spark ignition and pre-mixed combustion. If the demanded torque is greater than the threshold torque, the engine is operated in a high load mode that uses compression ignition and diffusion combustion.

  • Patent number: 9611554
    Abstract: Oils from plants and animal fats are hydrolyzed to fatty acids for a Kolbe reaction. The invention relates to a high productivity Kolbe reaction process for electrochemically decarboxylating C4-C28 fatty acids derived from sources selected based on their saturated and unsaturated fatty acid content in order to lower anodic passivation voltage during synthesis of C6-C54 hydrocarbons. The C6-C54 hydrocarbons may undergo olefin metathesis and/or hydroisomerization reaction processes to synthesize heavy fuel oil, diesel fuel, kerosene fuel, lubricant base oil, and linear alpha olefin products useful as precursors for polymers, detergents, and other fine chemicals.

  • Patent number: 9517627
    Abstract: A cap 13, 15, for the print face 9 of a drop-on-demand ink jet printer moves between a closed position, in which it covers the print nozzles on the print face 9, and an open position in which the print nozzles are uncovered, without requiring movement of the print face 9. In the open position, the cap is recessed relative to the front surface 21 of the printhead. For at least part of the movement of the cap, it is further forward than the print face 9, so that it does not slide across and damage the print nozzles. The drop-on-demand ink jet printer may be used to print onto objects 3 conveyed past it, for example on a packing line. The cap 13, 15, does not obstruct the path of the objects 3 even if they pass very close (e.g. 0.5 mm) to the print face 9 because its uncapped position is further back than the front surface 21 of the printhead.
