  • Publication number: 20160053595
    Abstract: Extracting of Heavy Oil (Hydrocarbon) from Tar Sand and Oil Shale in deep reservoirs 7,000-12,000 feet below the ground surface by using Circular Waveguides Technology and Microwave Energy High Power System. Using Circular Waveguides as microwave energy radiator connects to the Microwave High Power System is the most practical method and provides a relatively cost-effective means of extract heavy oil from target Tar Sand or Oil Shale in deep reservoirs. This invention method can be applied for future new well bores that are in the plan to be drilled. It also can be used for existing un-use well bores that are being closed; waiting for cleaner new enhance oil recovery technology becoming available in order to reclaim of heavy oil without damaging the environment.

  • Publication number: 20100138489
    Abstract: Video and audio signals are streamed to remote viewers that are connected to a communication network. A host server receives an originating video and audio signal that may arrive from a single source or from a plurality of independent sources. The host server provides any combination of the originating video and audio signals to viewers connected to a communication network. A viewer requests the host server provide a combination of video and audio signals from the host server. The host server transmits an instruction set to be executed by the viewer. The instruction set causes the viewer to transmit parameters to the host user, including parameters relating to the processing capabilities of the viewer. The host server then transmits multimedia data to the viewer according to the received parameters. A plurality of viewers may be simultaneously connected to the host server.
