Patent number: 8668153Abstract: A spray nozzle includes an orifice disposed on a substantially planar discharge surface. An impingement surface is disposed opposite the orifice, the impingement surface forming an angle with a centerline of the orifice. A deflection ridge bridges a gap between the impingement surface and the discharge surface. Adjacent the deflection ridge is a further trough which extends into the impingement surface. The nozzle includes a fluid fitting adapted for providing a pressurized fluid to the orifice.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2010Date of Patent: March 11, 2014Assignee: UDOR U.S.A.

Patent number: 6815399Abstract: A plugging fluid for plugging a subterranean formation zone surrounding a drill hole consisting of an emulsion comprising an oil phase containing an oil, an emulsifier and 2.4 to 4 kg of cement per liter of oil and an aqueous phase containing water and 12-16 g of polysaccharide per liter of water, wherein the oil to water volume ratio ranges from 20:80 to 25:75. Upon shearing, the emulsion inverts so that the rupture of the emulsion droplets releases the cement into the water phase thus providing metallic divalent ion to crosslink with the polysaccharide and forming a gel structure.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2002Date of Patent: November 9, 2004Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Les Johnson, Kamal Arsanious, David Quinn, Patrick Murphy, Allen R.

Patent number: 5378816Abstract: Proteins having an epidermal growth factor-like binding region, such as thrombomodulin, may be recovered and purified on a anion exchange resin, such as a polyethyleneimine resin. Conditioned medium containing recombinantly produced protein is applied to the resin under conditions of pH and ionic strength selected to result in specific binding of the protein to the resin. The column is then washed to remove non-bound proteins and bound proteins other than the desired protein to be separated. The desired protein is then eluted from the column and collected in a medium. Further purification, concentration, and other treatment of the protein may be performed by conventional techniques.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 1992Date of Patent: January 3, 1995Assignee: Berlex Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: Erno Pungor, Les Johnson, Monica R.

Patent number: 5199489Abstract: Gas channeling to the surface in the setting of surface casing can be avoided by employing a cementing process in which a right-angle setting cement is positioned within a wellbore annulus between the wellbore and the casing above a gas-bearing zone with a low fluid loss cement slurry being placed below the right-angle setting cement. Pumping of the cement slurry is stopped for a period of time to allow the setting of the right-angle setting cement at which point pressurized pumping is resumed to displace remaining portions of the low fluid loss cement slurry into the wellbore annulus against the plug created by the set right-angle setting cement to block off gas migration and squeeze the low fluid loss cement into the gas-bearing zone.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 1990Date of Patent: April 6, 1993Assignee: Dowell Schlumberger IncorporatedInventors: Les Johnson, Brian Sissons, Kerry Crapo

Patent number: 4825907Abstract: A low restriction fluid control valve has a body (12) which a first inlet port (14) and first and second outlet ports (16, 18). The valve body has an internal cavity (24). A rectangular slide (50) having a circular aperture (52) is movable in said cavity. Movement of the slide places the outlet ports of the valve selectively in fluid communication with the inlet port through the circular aperture of the slide.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 1988Date of Patent: May 2, 1989Assignee: Parker Hannifin CorporationInventors: J.
