  • Patent number: 11786880
    Abstract: A preparation method of the microcapsules for low-temperature well cementation to be used to control cement hydration heat includes: (S1) a shell material, and added into deionized water, then the resultant mixture being stirred in a thermostat water bath so as to completely dissolve it into a homogeneous and stable shell material solution; (S2) a core material and an emulsifier being put into a three-necked flask and stirred in a thermostat water bath so as to uniformly emulsify and disperse them, forming a stable oil-in-water core material emulsion, while adjusting the pH value of the emulsion with a pH adjuster; (S3) the three-necked flask containing the core material emulsion being transferred to a water bath, and then the shell material solution being dropwise added into it with stirring, after reacting, a solid-liquid mixture being poured out so as to naturally cool it to room temperature.

  • Patent number: 11739667
    Abstract: An engine valve actuating apparatus includes a housing that contains an activation piston bore and an actuation piston bore. The activation piston is disposed in the activation piston bore and configured to actuate an engine valve. The actuation piston includes at least one side surface that is in sliding contact with the inner surface of the actuation piston bore so that the actuation piston can slide within the actuation piston bore. The actuation piston also has a guide mechanism, which guides the first and second links to move in a plane between the first position and the second position. At least a part of the guide mechanism is below at least a part of the at least one side surface of the actuation piston.

  • Patent number: 11120439
    Abstract: A server includes a memory and a message processor. The memory stores a data record that includes a credential stored in association with an access restriction indicator, and further includes a cryptographic key. The processor is configured to receive from a network device an access request that includes the credential and a token. The token includes a first data layer and a second data layer that incorporates the first data layer and is encrypted with the cryptographic key. The processor is configured to determine that, prior to the access request, the credential was stored in the data record in association with the access restriction indicator; recover the first data layer from the token by (i) locating the cryptographic key in the data record, and (ii) decrypting the second encrypted data layer with the cryptographic key. The processor is configured to provide the network device with the first data layer.

  • Patent number: 10626764
    Abstract: A single valve compression release bridge brake is provided. The single valve compression release bridge brake includes a braking piston (160) integrated into an inner end of a valve bridge (400) which is located under a rocker arm (210) of an engine. The braking piston (160) is slidably disposed in a braking piston bore (190) opened downwards from the inner end of the valve bridge (400). The lower end of the braking piston (160) is connected to the inner exhaust valve (3001). Oil is supplied to the braking piston bore (190) in the valve bridge (400). The inner end of the valve bridge (400) above the braking piston (160) is pushed upwards against the rocker arm (210) by oil pressure, and a hydraulic linkage is formed between the braking piston (160) and the valve bridge (400).
