Publication number: 20100276140Abstract: A method for producing hydrocarbons from a reservoir containing the hydrocarbon comprises a steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) incorporating cyclic steam, heavy (e.g. greater than C4) solvent and light (e.g. C2 to C4) solvent injection. The method involves a series of steps wherein the injection of the respective streams is varied. The method provides a significant improvement in hydrocarbon extraction efficiency as compared to a SAGD process alone and mitigates many of the drawbacks associated with typical SAGD operations.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 28, 2010Publication date: November 4, 2010Applicant: LARICINA ENERGY LTD.Inventors: Neil Edmunds, Jeff Peterson, Behdad Moini

Patent number: 7092793Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for configuring and administering control over operations of a utility device. The utility device is described herein as being a warewash machine, but other utility devices are contemplated. A warewash controller administers control over operations of the warewash machine based on operational settings defined by the process disclosed herein. The operational settings are derived based on environmental parameters (e.g., water type, soil level, selected chemical product, etc.) specified by a field service person through a graphical user interface. If an environmental parameter is changed during the operational life cycle of the warewash machine, the operational settings are modified to accommodate for such a change. Thus, the service performed by the warewash machine is maintained at a consistent quality regardless of changes in the environment. A method for selecting the specific chemical product that will be input as an environmental parameter is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2003Date of Patent: August 15, 2006Assignee: Ecolab IncInventors: Jeff Peterson, Robert May, Dan Flesher, John Rolando, Ed Sowle, Steven Lentsch, Ronald Howes, Jr.

Publication number: 20060040845Abstract: The invention is a solid chemical concentrate system of at least two cooperative shapes. The first shape is an inwardly curved bar having an inner opening. The second shape is an insert which is capable of interlocking with the bar by insertion into the bar inner opening. The solid chemical concentrate provides chemical systems having active constituents which may be the same, different but compatible or functionally and chemically incompatible combined within one matrix to provide at least one substantially continuous surface. The system may also comprise an aqueous soluble or dispersible polymeric film cover.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2005Publication date: February 23, 2006Applicant: Ecolab Inc.Inventors: Elizabeth Gladfelter, Tina Outlaw, James Copeland, Rhonda Schulz, Daniel Boche, Jeff Peterson

Publication number: 20050149273Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for controlling concentration of a component chemical product in a chemical solution. The chemical solution is formed in a solution tank by combining the component chemical product with water. The component chemical product is dispensed to the solution tank by a chemical dispenser that is controlled by measured conductivity readings of the chemical solution taken in the solution tank. The conductivity readings are analyzed against a conductivity setpoint to determine whether the component chemical product should be added to the chemical solution. A conductivity offset is determined and applied to the analysis thereby taking into consideration any conductivity that may be attributable to constituents of the chemical solution other than the component chemical product. Such constituents include soil washed from the articles and the water used to form the chemical solution.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 3, 2004Publication date: July 7, 2005Applicant: Ecolab Inc.Inventors: Jeff Peterson, Ronald Howes, Robert May

Patent number: 5277581Abstract: An orthodontic headgear assembly which incorporates at least one magnetic release mechanism. In one embodiment, the headgear assembly generally includes an inner bow, an outer bow interconnected with the inner bow, a mechanism for generating and applying a force to the ends of the outer bow which is thus transferred to the patient's teeth, and a magnetic release mechanism which is positioned between each end of the outer bow and the force generating mechanism. When a given magnetic release mechanism is subjected to a force of a predetermined magnitude, the mechanism disconnects adjacent portions of the headgear assembly to reduce the potential for the adverse effects on the patient due to snapback of the outer and/or inner bow when at least a portion of the force is removed from the headgear assembly.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 1993Date of Patent: January 11, 1994Assignee: RMO, Inc.Inventor: Jeff Peterson
