  • MAGNETORHEOLOGICAL DOWN-HOLE PACKING ELEMENTS
    Publication number: 20190242208
    Abstract: Aspects of drilling, production, hydraulic fracturing, and well work-over operations operations that create full seal magnetorheological down-hole packing elements are described. Some examples describe a system that includes a magnetorheological fluid and a magnetic assembly tool (installed on a work-string) configured to generate a magnetic field and create, in a flow of the magnetorheological fluid, a semi-solid packing element, and/or a magneto-rheological effect altering the fluid viscosity, in a drill pipe, casing, or hole. Various examples also include disclosure of methods for releasing stuck pipe, controlling fluid loss while drilling, open-hole packing, conforming, plugging and abandoning, and multistage fracturing that can reduce operational risks and non-productive time.

  • AUTO-FEEDBACK VALVE FOR A SLEEP APNEA DEVICE
    Publication number: 20190224440
    Abstract: A system for treating a patient suffering from obstructive sleep apnea or snoring is diclsoed. The system includes an air flow generator configured to deliver an air flow at a positive therapeutic pressure during the treatment, and an expiratory valve with an open pressure connected air flow generator. The open pressure is dependent on the therapeutic pressure from the air flow generator. The expiratory valve further exerts a back pressure upon each exhalation from the patient sufficient to create a pneumatic splint in the patient's respiratory tract. The exhalation from the patient has a first half followed by a second half and the back pressure is varied such that during the start of the first half the back pressure is between 0 and 50% of a peak back pressure and increases to a peak back pressure in the second half.
