  • Patent number: 12221884
    Abstract: This disclosure presents systems and processes to collect elemental composition of target fluid and solid material located downhole of a borehole. Waveguides can be utilized that include capillary optics to deliver emitted high energy into a container or a conduit and then to detect the high energy. A source waveguide can be used to emit the high energy into the target fluid and a detector waveguide can collect resulting measurements. Each waveguide can include a protective sheath and a pressure cap on the end of the capillary optics that are proximate the target fluid, to protect against abrasion and target fluid pressure. In other aspects, a pulsed neutron tool can be utilized in place of the waveguides to collect measurements. The collected measurements can be utilized to generate chemical signature results that can be utilized to determine the elemental composition of the target fluid or of the solid material.

  • Patent number: 12209492
    Abstract: A method and system for disposing a fluid sampling tool into a wellbore, taking a plurality of fluid samples with the fluid sampling tool, identifying a plurality of asphaltene onset pressures (AOP) downhole based at the least on the plurality of fluid samples. The method may further comprise forming an AOP map from at least the plurality of AOPs, identifying a laboratory property from at least one of the plurality of fluid samples; and developing a relational model between at least one of the plurality of AOPs and the laboratory property. The system may include a fluid sampling tool with one or more probes for injecting the one or more probes into a wellbore and taking a plurality of fluid samples from the wellbore.

  • Publication number: 20140050423
    Abstract: A biodegradable lawn waste collection system is provided. The system generally includes a waste receiver, a shaping insert, and a handle. The waste receiver may comprise a mesh structure having a filling end and a sealing end. The mesh structure may be formed from a biodegradable polymer composition. The shaping insert is configured for removable reception within the filling end of the waste receiver. The shaping insert provides the waste receiver with rigidity and stability when filling the waste receiver with lawn waste. After the waste receiver has been filled with lawn waste, the shaping inert is removed and the filling end is secured, such as by tying a knot. The full waste receiver is then releasably attached to the handle, which enables the full waste receiver to be easily carried or dragged to a desired destination.

  • Patent number: 6220465
    Abstract: The present invention would be fabricated from a plurality of rectangular boxes having several external slots along their outer surface. The rectangular boxes would be placed against one another, and would have a plurality of female tracks running lengthwise along each outer surface. Female tracks from adjoining boxes would join up, allowing a male track to be inserted through both female tracks, locking them in place. The present invention would include a center-mounted rectangular box which would include a hinged door. Additional rectangular boxes could be made available for use if desired, depending on the size of a particular freezer unit. The present invention would be sold as a kit, and would come in configurations to fit top mounted, side mounted, and full freezers.

  • Patent number: 4772864
    Abstract: A multilayer circuit prototyping board for prototyping circuits in a three-layer transmission line structure. The multilayer circuit prototyping board includes grooves and mesas on one side thereof, with wires to be run in the grooves for interconnecting electronic components. The electronic components are mounted on the bottom surface of the prototyping boards with leads protruding through holes in a bottom ground plane into the grooved portions. Wires or solder bridges are located within the grooves for interconnecting the leads of the various electronic components. A removable top ground plane is then placed atop the board base for completing the three-layer structure.
