  • Buoyant Ball Assisted Hydrocarbon Lift System and Method
    Publication number: 20140151020
    Abstract: As disclosed, a buoyant ball assisted hydrostatic lift system and method for lifting fluid(s) from an enclosed subterranean reservoir to the earth's surface, comprises a pipe string configured at a steady state gas pressure with any quiescent gas escape offset by an equal gas input. The system also includes a plurality of buoyant balls in the pipe string; the balls configured to at least one of displace a fluid mass and have a surface friction moving in fluid(s) therein. The system additionally includes a column of the buoyant balls in the pipe string, an aggregate weight of the balls configured to entrain the balls into a fluid in an annulus formed with an outer bore pipe. The system further includes a hydrostatic pressure differential in the annulus with respect to the reservoir via the buoyant balls, the pressure configured to lift fluid(s) in the annulus to the surface.

  • FIELD-REPLACEABLE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD CABLE ASSEMBLY AND METHOD OF USE
    Publication number: 20140134888
    Abstract: A field-replaceable printed circuit board (“PCB”) cable assembly comprises at least one field-replaceable PCB, at least one cable, a connector with a plurality of beams, and top and bottom hood portions. A first end of the at least one field-replaceable PCB is attached to the at least one cable, and a second end of the at least one field-replaceable PCB is attached to the plurality of beams. The at least one field-replaceable PCB can be replaced by disassembling the hood portions, detaching the at least one field-replaceable PCB from the plurality of beams, and attaching at least one new field-replaceable PCB.

  • ATTACHABLE AND REMOVABLE PROTECTIVE RUGGED HOOD ASSEMBLY FOR AN ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR AND METHOD OF USE
    Publication number: 20140134866
    Abstract: An attachable and removable protective rugged hood assembly for an electrical connector, including board-mounted electrical connectors. The rugged hood assembly comprises a male connector hood portion and a female connector hood portion. The rugged hood assembly allows standard electrical connectors to be used in harsh conditions, such as in military equipment, and also provides electromagnetic interference (“EMI”) shielding.

  • RIGHT ANGLE TRANSITION ADAPTER WITH INTERCHANGEABLE GENDER COMPONENTS AND METHOD OF USE
    Publication number: 20140134887
    Abstract: A right angle transition adapter allows vertical connector components to be used in a right angle connector. The right angle transition adapter comprises a vertical connector housing, a wafer, overmolded lead frames, and a right angle transition housing. The overmolded lead frames can be mounted to a board while the vertical connector housing can connect with mating connectors as if it were a vertical connector.
