20160053559 | DOWNHOLE ANCHORING APPARATUS - An anchoring apparatus for engaging a borehole surface includes an anchoring member, an actuator, a fluid chamber, and an intensifier piston within a housing. The intensifier piston includes a first end having a surface area greater than a second, the second end being in communication with the fluid chamber, such that application of pressure to the first end applies a second pressure, greater than the first, to fluid in the chamber, which is in turn applied to the actuator to extend the anchoring member toward the borehole surface with intensified force. A second intensifier piston and fluid chamber can be included and used to apply intensified pressure to the actuator to retract the anchoring member. A movable mandrel within the housing can be used to physically apply a physical force to one or both intensifier pistons in place of or in addition to fluid pressure. | 02-25-2016 |

20140282373 | AUTOMATED BUSINESS RULE HARVESTING WITH ABSTRACT SYNTAX TREE TRANSFORMATION - Business rules may be harvested from software using automated processes and used in developing new computer software. Automated harvesting may speed up development, reduce cost, and decrease human error during software development. Harvesting the business rules from computer software may also allow business analysts to verify and update business rules. The business rules may be harvested by parsing existing source code into abstract syntax trees (ASTs). The source ASTs may then be transformed into target ASTs corresponding to a programming language different from the existing source code. Those target ASTs may then be recomposed into output source code of the different programming language. | 09-18-2014 |

20100026232 | Mitigation of Harmonic Currents and Conservation of Power in Non-Linear Load Systems - An AC power controller system applies three-phase AC operating power to an induction motor that drives a non-linear mechanical load. A primary low pass filter is connected in series between branch phase conductors and a power controller of the type that uses gate-controlled switching thyristors for controlling power to the motor. KVAR capacitors connected between the power controller and the induction motor phase windings form a secondary low pass filter across the controller output terminals. The primary and secondary low pass filters isolate the power controller and induction motor with respect to spurious noise and harmonics generated by local as well as remote sources, and also improve real power transfer efficiency from the power generating source to the induction motor by transforming the effective impedance of the power source and induction motor load. | 02-04-2010 |

20120246179 | Log-Based DDL Generation - Systems, methods, and computer readable media for automatically generating Data Definition Language (DDL) commands from database log information is described. In general, techniques are disclosed for analyzing database log entries to identify those associated with targeted DDL commands and associating those entries with a DDL command object. The DDL command object may be used (immediately or at some later time) to generate a DDL commands corresponding to the (possibly many) aggregated log records associated with the command object. The use of multiple database log entries as described herein enables the generation of DDL commands that capture database activity occurring over a period of time (full time context auditing) and can, therefore, naturally account for database schema changes. | 09-27-2012 |

20150114621 | Confined Volume Pressure Compensation Due to Thermal Loading - A pressure compensation system for enclosed spaces at a subterranean location changes volume with thermally induced solubility changes of a salt in water. The salt is held in an enclosure that is either rigid, or impervious and flexible or porous and flexible. As well conditions change and temperature increases, some of the salt goes into solution with a resulting decrease in volume that compensates for thermally induced volume increase due to temperature increase in the borehole. Conversely, a decrease in borehole temperature brings some of the salt out of solution for a volume increase to offset the volume decrease of the adjacent fluid to keep the pressure stabilized in the enclosed volume. In the porous enclosure embodiment the openings are sufficiently small to retain the salt even in solution. However, minimal net flows are anticipated for pressure compensation due to changing thermal effects. | 04-30-2015 |

20110290329 | Large Area Water Redistribution Network - A system and methods for the redistribution of water as a resource across large geographic distances where water deficits are matched with excess water conditions. The system utilizes a large area network of water conduits that extend between nodes, generally between water reservoirs and water usage areas. The system receives water into the network from geographic areas experiencing excess water and distributes the excess water to areas experiencing water deficits. The system includes terminal nodes having water inlet/outlet systems with metering and pumping components coupled with flow control valves. Each terminal node positioned at an existing reservoir is controlled to permit the inlet of water into the system or the discharge of water from the system. Intermediate nodes incorporate similar flow metering and pumping components as well as flow control valve components. The system is monitored and controlled through wired or wireless communication from a central station. The method provides for the establishment of normal water level ranges and the monitoring of a large number of geographic areas for excess water or water deficit conditions. The system matches excess water areas with deficit regions and coordinates the transfer of water between such regions. Excess water regions may also be coordinated with multiple normal water level regions for the distribution of excess water over a large area. A water deficit region without a direct match to a water excess region may draw from multiple normal regions. | 12-01-2011 |

20100018712 | METHOD OF TRANSITIONING TO KINETIC HYDRATE INHIBITORS IN MULTIPLE TIE-IN WELL SYSTEMS - The technical challenges for a smooth transition between using both a thermodynamic hydrate inhibitor (THI) and a kinetic hydrate inhibitor (KHI) to simply using only the KHI in multiple tie-in gas natural gas production systems is solved by adding more THI in a first pipeline leg of the production system while ceasing adding THI in a second pipeline leg of the system. Further, more KHI is added into the second leg of the system, and subsequently THI is gradually and/or slowly reduced in the remaining legs of the system until only KHI is being injected, after which the KHI amount in all legs may be reduced to the equilibrium or steady-state levels. | 01-28-2010 |
20120247972 | PROCESS FOR REDUCING THE CONCENTRATION OF HYDRATE INHIBITORS IN WATER USED FOR OIL AND GAS PRODUCTION - Reducing the concentration of kinetic hydrate inhibitors in produced water may be accomplished by treating the produced water using a method selected from the group consisting of chemical adsorption, solvent extraction, chemical coagulation, electrochemical coagulation and combinations thereof. Such reductions may in some instances allow for the reuse of produced water for irrigation or recycle in oil and gas production. | 10-04-2012 |
20150118105 | CHEMICAL INHIBITION OF PITTING CORROSION IN METHANOLIC SOLUTIONS CONTAINING AN ORGANIC HALIDE - Pitting corrosion of stainless steel occurs in solutions of organic acid, such as tartaric acid, in an electrolyte solution with methanol. However, methanolic solutions containing at least one organic halide and at least one organic hydroxyacid and some water provide reduced pitting corrosion of stainless steel. The organic hydroxyacid may be a hydroxy acid containing 2 to 10 carbon atoms with at least one hydroxyl group and at least one carboxylic acid group, in a non-limiting example, glycolic acid. The pH of the methanolic solution may range from about 3.5 to about 8. | 04-30-2015 |
