Abstract: A storage building such as a garage of a residential house is heated to a low temperature above freezing but below that suitable for human habitation by connecting a closed loop pipe and a pump so as to pump heat transfer liquid through a portion of the pipe embedded in a cast concrete lid of a septic tank and through another portion of the pipe embedded in a cast concrete floor of the building. The simple system avoids use of a complex heat pump by using the limited heat available from the septic tank to directly heat the garage floor to a low temperature but above freezing.

Abstract: A packer or bridge plug uses a sealing element made from a shape memory polymer (SMP). The packer element receives heat or other stimulus to soften the SMP while the element is compressed and retained. While so retained, the heat or other stimulus is removed to allow the SMP to get stiff so that it effectively seals a surrounding tubular.

The SMP or equivalent material whose modulus is changeable can be covered on the outside, the inside or both with an elastic material that protects the SMP and enhances the seal in the wellbore and against the mandrel.
