Abstract: The present invention is related to a downhole device for hydrocarbon producing wells without conventional tubing (tubingless completion), which improves the hydrocarbon production (gas, oil and condensate), selectively controls produced solids (reservoir sand and hydraulic fracture proppant) and eliminates liquid loading. The device of the present invention is designed according to selected well and reservoir characteristics by an integral methodology which includes the stages: data collection and analysis of the well operating conditions, selection of candidate well, sampling and analysis of produced solids, simulation of production conditions, design and manufacture and installation.

Abstract: An electroded donor roll for mounting partially within a mixing chamber of a development unit for forming a development zone with an image bearing member and moving charged toner particles from the mixing chamber to the development zone. The donor roll includes a conductive shaft core and a dielectric material layer that is injection molded over the shaft core. The donor roll also includes axially extending electrodes formed in the surface of the dielectric layer, and robust commutator contact pads that are formed from a conductive commutator washer device which has been overmolded into the dielectric layer. The commutator pads each are in line with, and contact an axially extending electrode.

Abstract: A development apparatus includes a housing defining a chamber holding a supply of two-component developer material including toner, and magnetizable carrier beads. The development apparatus also includes an increased reliability roller assembly within the housing for repeatably transporting a desired quantity of attracted developer material through a development zone. The roller assembly includes a first and a second preformed end cap sections each having a stub shaft portion and a cylindrical capping portion connected to the stub shaft portion and having an outer surface and assembly recesses formed into the outer surface. The roller assembly also includes a sleeve section connecting the first and the second preformed end cap sections, the sleeve section being spincast as a layer over each of the cylindrical capping portions, and into the assembly recesses of the end cap sections, so as to precisely and reliably assemble each capping portion, to the sleeve section.
