Publication number: 20230152293Abstract: Samples are collected from a first wellbore and a second wellbore. Genetic material is extracted from the samples and analyzed to determine microorganisms present in subsurface geological features through which the first wellbore and the second wellbore pass. Movement of microorganisms originating in subsurface geological features at the location of the first wellbore to subsurface geological features at the location of the second wellbore can indicate movement of a carbon-based gas between the first wellbore and the second wellbore.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2022Publication date: May 18, 2023Inventors: Caroline Burke, Jordan Sawadogo, John Haggerty, Mathias Schlecht, Thomas Ishoey, Cooper Gill

Patent number: 8265428Abstract: A method of determining whether particular data is included in a data store. The particular data comprises a plurality of first data values and the data store comprises a plurality of second data values. The method comprises obtaining identification data associated with the particular data. The identification comprises a subset of said first data values. A portion of the data store is retrieved and it is determined whether at least a predetermined number of data values of the identification data have a predetermined relationship with corresponding second data values of the retrieved portion of the data store.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2008Date of Patent: September 11, 2012Assignee: Forsigs LimitedInventors: John Haggerty, David Llewellyn-Jones

Patent number: 5215328Abstract: A suspension system for a vehicle having a torsion spring interconnecting the wheels and axle to spaced portions of the frame via suspension arms wherein each suspension arm has one end secured to one element of the torsion spring and its other end connected to one end portion of a torsion type shackle. The other end of the shackle has its outer shell connected to the vehicle frame via replaceable shims that adjust the height of the vehicle frame relative to the axle and the ground.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 1991Date of Patent: June 1, 1993Inventors: Mark J. Bono, John A. Haggerty, Roy L. Orndorff, Jr.

Patent number: 4880319Abstract: A bearing assembly for a suspension system having a torsilastic spring including a pair of diametrically opposed tapered elastomeric thrust rings operative to take up thrust forces as well as forces normal to the axial centerline of such elastomeric thrust rings. The elastomeric rings are under compression and take up axial thrust forces and rotation forces.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 1986Date of Patent: November 14, 1989Assignee: The B. F. Goodrich CompanyInventor: John A. Haggerty

Patent number: 4778199Abstract: A suspension system for a motorized propeller vehicle wherein the weight of the vehicle is supported by torsion springs. The vehicle chassis supports the drive output shafts and are connected to the driven wheels via a splined connection. The vehicle wheels have a stationary wheel drum bracket with an upper bracket section and a lower bracket section located respectively above and below the drive shaft connection to the wheel. The torsion spring suspension includes a pair of upper torsion springs interconnecting the vehicle chassis to the upper bracket section of the wheels and a pair of lower torsion springs interconnecting the vehicle chassis to the lower bracket section of the wheels.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 1986Date of Patent: October 18, 1988Assignee: The B. F. Goodrich CompanyInventors: John A. Haggerty, Roy L. Orndorff, Jr.

Patent number: 4738467Abstract: A suspension system for a vehicle which maintains the chassis at a constant height above the axle under varying conditions of load. Torsion spring means are employed in conjunction with a support beam that is secured to the chassis. One primary torsion spring has its external shell connected to the axle housing of the vehicle while the remaining torsion spring means has a radially disposed plate means in alignment with a radially disposed plate means extending from the shell of the one primary torsion spring. An inflatable bladder positioned between the plates is controlled by control means which maintains the chassis at such constant height by pressurizing the bladder to a pressure to maintain such height under variable conditions of load.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 1987Date of Patent: April 19, 1988Assignee: The B. F. Goodrich CompanyInventors: Roy L. Orndorff, Jr., John A. Haggerty

Patent number: 4685974Abstract: A method suitable for removing settled sludge from the bottom of a storage tank uses a machine (1) including a central body (15) rotatable about which is a casing (2, 3) provided with two substantially diametric nozzles (4, 5) arranged so that liquid emerging therefrom sweeps substantially only in one plane, a turbine (12) rotating the casing about the central body (15) and half cylinder (18) ensuring that when the casing (2, 3) is continuously rotated, alternately one nozzle is closed for substantially 180.degree. rotation while the other nozzle is open. Such machines may be suspended above the floor of the tank adjacent to a wall thereof. Liquid is emitted from the nozzles in a sweep substantially parallel to the bottom plane of the storage tank, thereby resuspending the sludge which thereafter is withdrawn as a suspension.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 1983Date of Patent: August 11, 1987Assignee: Butterworth Systems, Inc.Inventors: John A. Furness, John Haggerty

Patent number: 4472448Abstract: This invention is concerned with the emulsification and stabilization of fat in meat-in-sauce, meat-in-gravy and meat filling foods which are heat processed. The method includes first adding from about 0.5% to about 3.5%, by weight of the meat fat, of a refined soybean phosphatide, adding water, thereafter adding from about 2.5 to about 30% of a soybean protein or from about 2.5 to about 35% of a textured soybean protein, and thereafter cooking the resultant mixture for at least 10 minutes at 180.degree. F.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 1983Date of Patent: September 18, 1984Assignee: Central Soya Company, Inc.Inventors: John A. Haggerty, Dennis D. Corbin
