  • METHOD TO UNDERDISPLACE HYDRAULIC FRACTURES IN HORIZONTAL OR DEVIATED WELL
    Publication number: 20150129212
    Abstract: A method for underdisplacing fracture proppant in a well bore. The method can include providing a set retainer having a passage configured to receive a wiper plug. The method may also include installing the set retainer in the well bore and injecting a proppant-laden fluid into the well bore, through the passage of the set retainer and through a perforation to create the fracture. The method may include providing a wiper plug configured to be received in the passage of the set retainer. The method may also include inserting the wiper plug into the well bore and allowing the wiper plug to wipe a portion of the proppant-laden fluid past the set retainer and into the fracture. Additionally, the method may include allowing the set retainer to receive the wiper plug.

  • SUITCASE
    Publication number: 20150034520
    Abstract: A container comprising a bag simulative of an animal with a plurality of storage compartments. The present container for items and personal effects for travel will be seen to provide not only a useful container for the transportation of goods, but also serve as a fashion accessory for people of all ages. The container is also easy to use, and provides for a more ergonomic option as it only requires gentle pulling to activate the rear leg wheel system for the transportation of the container. When the tension has been released to a preset tension, the rear leg wheel system will retract, and the container resembling an animal will “sit down,” and can also provide other entertainment at the time with other gestures such as panting, yawning, or wagging its tail, for example.

  • UNIVERSAL STYLUS
    Publication number: 20140362022
    Abstract: The present device provides for a universal stylus. The stylus emits a light incident upon a distal metallic object therein causing electrons on the metallic object to be ejected from the metallic object, resulting in a non-uniform electric field near the metallic object. When the metallic object is brought into close proximity of a capacitive touch-screen of a smartphone, tablet, kiosk, computer or other electronic device, the local disruption in the electric field surrounding the touch-screen is registered as a touch, in a similar manner as a human finger normally activates the touch-screen. In an embodiment, the device utilizes a light incident directly upon the electronic device, without the need for the light incident striking a metallic object.
