Publication number: 20060104582Abstract: Microstructured optical fibre is fabricated using extrusion. The main design of optical fibre has a core suspended in an outer wall by a plurality of struts. A specially designed extruder die is used which comprises a central feed channel, flow diversion channels arranged to divert material radially outwards into a welding chamber formed within the die, a core forming conduit arranged to receive material by direct onward passage from the central feed channel, and a nozzle having an outer part in flow communication with the welding chamber and an inner part in flow communication with the core forming conduit, to respectively define an outer wall and core of the preform. With this design a relatively thick outer wall can be combined with thin struts (to ensure extinction of the optical mode field) and a core of any desired diameter or other thickness dimension in the case of non-circular cores. As well as glass, the extrusion process is suitable for use with polymers.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2003Publication date: May 18, 2006Inventors: Kenneth Frampton, Daniel Hewak, Kai Kiang, Tanya Monro, Roger Moore, David Richardson, Harvey Rutt, John Tucknott

Patent number: 4656313Abstract: A method, and apparatus for practicing the method, is provided for the transit of one or more cables through an opening in a bulkhead while preventing electromagnetic interference and electromagnetic pulse energy from passing through the opening. A housing of electrically conductive material is positioned in the opening and secured around its full perimeter in electrically conductive contact with the bulkhead. The sheathing of each cable is treated so that the conductive shield of each cable is exposed. The cables pass through the housing with their exposed shield being within the interior of the housing. The end portions of the housing are sealed, such as by the use of deformable material. Electrically conductive material, such as shot, granules, powder, grease, liquids or the like, is used to fill the interior of the housing to form conductive paths between the shield of each cable and the housing. The material may be in the form of particulates, semi-liquid, or liquid, including conductive coatings.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 1986Date of Patent: April 7, 1987Assignee: General Signal CorporationInventors: Rogers A. Moore, Joseph R. O'Brien, David O. Brown

Patent number: 4116275Abstract: Disclosed is a method for recovering hydrocarbons from a hydrocarbon-bearing formation. A wellbore is drilled to penetrate the formation and to extend, preferably substantially horizontally, into the formation for a suitable distance. The well is completed with a slotted or perforated casing means and with dual concentric tubing strings. The tubing strings comprise an inner tubing and a surrounding larger diameter outer tubing. The inner tubing cooperates with the outer tubing to form a first annular space and the outer tubing cooperates with the casing means to form a second annular space. After the wellbore is suitably completed, a heated fluid is circulated within the casing means such that the heated fluid passes through a portion of the first annular space to heat the well and to provide a fluid flow path through both the first and second annular spaces. After the well is suitably heated, a heated fluid is injected into the formation through at least a portion of the second annular space.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 1977Date of Patent: September 26, 1978Assignee: Exxon Production Research CompanyInventors: Roger Moore Butler, Caurino Cesar Bombardieri, Bruce Alexander Slevinsky

Patent number: 4085803Abstract: Disclosed is a method for recovering hydrocarbons from a subterranean formation. A heated fluid is injected into the formation by means of a perforated conduit which is positioned substantially horizontally through the formation to heat hydrocarbons within the formation. After a suitable heating period, injection of heat is terminated to permit fluids including formation hydrocarbons to drain from the formation into the conduit. The drained fluids within the conduit are then heated to a temperature such that at least a portion of the drained fluids are vaporized. These vaporized fluids pass from the perforated conduit and into the formation to further heat formation hydrocarbons. Subsequently, formation fluids of reduced viscosity are recovered from the formation through the perforated conduit.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 1977Date of Patent: April 25, 1978Assignee: Exxon Production Research CompanyInventor: Roger Moore Butler
