Abstract: A method for enhanced recovery of hydrocarbonaceous fluids, the method including the steps of creating a plurality of wellbores in a subterranean formation, whereby one or more of the plurality of wellbores may include a directionally drilled portion with solution disposed therein, and an electrode operatively connected with a power source. Other steps include generating an electrical field within the subterranean formation, thereby causing an electrochemical reaction to produce a gas from the solution, such that the gas mixes with hydrocarbonaceous fluids present in the formation and increases pressure within at least one of the plurality of wellbores, the subterranean formation, and combinations thereof, thereby enhancing recovery of the hydrocarbonaceous fluid.

Abstract: A method for enhanced recovery of hydrocarbonaceous fluids, the method including the steps of connecting each of a plurality of wellbores together in fluid communication with a machined flow path, providing a surface fluid to the flow path, and generating an electrical field within the flow path to cause an electrochemical reaction to produce a gas from the fluid, such that the gas mixes with hydrocarbonaceous fluids and increases pressure within at least one of the plurality of wellbores, the flow path, and combinations thereof, thereby enhancing recovery of the hydrocarbonaceous fluid.

Abstract: An outdoor grill (20) having interchangeable cooking accessories (60, 70, 80, 90, 100). As examples, the cooking accessories may include a hot dog cooker (70), a steamer, a food preparation assembly (60), a side burner, a griddle (80), a deep fryer (90), a rotisserie (100), or other cooking accessories. At least some of the cooking accessories may be sold separately from the grill (20), permitting a user to upgrade accessories when desired, or when cost constraints permit. A single grill frame and firebox (22) may be sold in the same store with different cooking accessories. Alternatively, the grill (20) may be sold in one store with a particular cooking accessory or accessories, and in another store with a different accessory. Some combinations may be sold only at particular stores, allowing a manufacturer to market specific grill combinations to a particular chain or store, and thus channel differentiation.

Abstract: A fire pit that is fueled by one or more small, disposable propane cylinders. In an embodiment, the small, disposable cylinder is directly connected to the fire pit without a hose. The fire pit includes a pilot light having a fuel feed and an air feed. The fuel feed is provided by a conduit that leads to an electrode for the pilot light. The air feed is provided by a perforated tube that extends around the electrode.

Abstract: A firearm for extinguishing a fire from a position remote from the fire. A cartridge is disposed in, and is selectively discharged from, a pistol. The cartridge includes a head containing a pressurized fire extinguishant and a casing containing a propellent. The casing is removably attached to the head by mating portions of hook and loop fasteners so as to allow the casing and the head to be independent of each other prior to use. The head has a lip containing a chamber communicating with the pressurized fire extinguishant therein and which exits through through bores in both sides of the lip, respectively. A release pin is removed from the through bores and the firing apparatus is activated causing the cartridge to exit the barrel and expel the pressurized fire extinguishant through the through bores on its way to the fire during use.

Abstract: A melt transferred imaged coated product and process for decorative simulated wood, metal or stone-like patterns especially useful on treated non-sealed, non-anodized metal-resin composites for interior signage and display, is described. The product exhibits excellent adhesion bonding between the aluminum surface and the transferred-carrier film that contains the dry-ink image that is deposited on the aluminum surface. The aluminum surface is prepared by conventional pre-etching means, coated with a suitable thermosetting resin and then optionally primed with an adhesive prior to melt transfer of the image. The final surface finish coating is protected with an additional transparent adhesive backed polymer film.
