In one embodiment, a source of electromagnetic energy from an array of antennae transmitting immediately in the far field recharges a power source embedded in the nano devices. In another embodiment, the return signals from the nano devices maps the morphology of ensembles of nano devices. In yet another embodiment the transmission controls the movement of the nano devices and controls the function preformed by the nano devices relative to effecting changes in the well to improve production of oil. | 04-29-2010 |

20100071955 | SUB-SURFACE IMAGING USING ANTENNA ARRAY FOR DETERMING OPTIMAL OIL DRILLING SITE - The invention provides for systems and methods of enhancing crude oil recovery providing an array of electromagnetic receiver antennae arranged and operated in conjunction with an array of far field electromagnetic transmitter antennae for mapping subsurface features of a reservoir. Mapping is performed according to the relative intensities, frequencies, phase shifts, and/or other reflected signal parameters of the reflections received by the receiver antennae (relative to the transmit signals) associated with a given location or target area within a reservoir. Such mapping aids in determining an optimal location of a production well or the location of an auxiliary well relative to the production well. | 03-25-2010 |
20100082254 | SYSTEM AND METHOD TO MEASURE AND TRACK FLUID MOVEMENT IN A RESERVOIR USING ELECTROMAGNETIC TRANSMISSION - Systems and methods of enhancing crude oil recovery include radiating electromagnetic energy in the form of focused electromagnetic pulses into a permeable formation containing the crude oil and/or fluid via an array of antennae transmitting immediately in the far field. The electromagnetic pulses are focused at the depth of the fluid reservoir. Pulses will be reflected by the fluid according to the fluid material (e.g. oil vs. water) and/or the strata (e.g. rock, sand, etc.). An array of receiver antennae may be used to initially establish a reference of the reflected electromagnetic pattern, and then operated in conjunction with the transmit array to monitor the relative horizontal movement of oil and/or water within the subterranean reservoir. | 04-01-2010 |

20100221092 | HAY BALE LIFTER - The present invention provides an apparatus for lifting and transporting a hay bale. The apparatus may include a hitch attachment for insertion into a receiver attached to a truck. The hitch attachment is coupled to an attachment slide which may be adjusted to match the height of the truck bed. The attachment slide is coupled to a bale spike which may be pivoted from a horizontal position to a vertical position. The attachment slide is coupled to a fifth wheel slide and coupler support, which is coupled to a fifth wheel ball hitch or other attachment point. A hydraulic cylinder or other power transfer means is attached at one end to the fifth wheel slide, and at the other end to the bale spike. A power source energizes a hydraulic pump to actuate the hydraulic cylinder. The apparatus may be assembled and installed by one person in a relatively short period of time, and likewise may be removed quickly. Once the apparatus is set for a particular vehicle, then no further adjustments are necessary the next time the apparatus is used. Accordingly, installation time is significantly reduced for subsequent uses. | 09-02-2010 |

20090072676 | ROTATING ELECTRIC MACHINE HAVING SWITCHED OR VARIABLE RELUCTANCE WITH FLUX TRANSVERSE TO THE AXIS OF ROTATION - An electric machine, such as a switched reluctance motor (SRM), having one or more transverse flux axes is described. The rotor and stator of the electric machine have more than one phase, not necessarily of even number. Flux guidance regions within the stator are angularly and spatially located such that they may be transverse, or not coinciding with, the plane perpendicular to the axis of shaft rotation. The flux guidance regions are composed so as to contain a magnetic field whose flux is guided in either a loop or coupled configuration. In the loop configuration, multiple flux guidance paths that are able to operate simultaneously exist within each chuck arrangement. In the coupled configuration, a single primary flux guidance path exists within the chuck arrangement. Transverse flux guidance allows for the removal and replacement of stator windings without significant disassembly or removal of the motor. | 03-19-2009 |
20100033033 | ROTATING ELECTRIC MACHINE HAVING REPLACEABLE AND INTERCHANGEABLE CHUCK ASSEMBLIES - An electric machine, such as a switched reluctance motor (SRM), having a stator housing that allows for stator chuck assemblies to be removed and replaced independently of other stator chuck assemblies is described. The stator housing of the electric machine has a plurality of slots for receiving the stator chuck assemblies and for supporting the chuck assemblies in fixed positions relative to a rotor assembly of the electric machine. In preferred embodiments, the slots are disposed on the exterior surface of the stator housing. | 02-11-2010 |

20120072080 | IMAGE ACQUISITION AND PROCESSING SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE EQUIPMENT CONTROL - An image acquisition and processing system includes an image sensor and one or more processors that are configured to receive at least a portion of at least one image from the image sensor. The dynamic aim of the image sensor is configured as a function of at least one feature extracted from at least a portion of an image. To accomplish the task, the system utilizes a series of adaptive thresholds used in parallel comparators to determine whether or not a pixel in a given image scene falls on the edge of a given lane line on a road. The location of the lane lines are then used to determine the scene vanishing point, which ideally will be co-located at the optical scene center. If they are not in agreement, the pixel data set being processed can be adjusted to accommodate for any disagreement. | 03-22-2012 |
