20090113856High Efficiency Dust Separation System For Mobile Sweeper Vehicles - An improved regenerative flow sweeping system for road and pavement sweeper vehicles includes first and second filter compartments as part of the recirculation loop in which the debris-entrained air is conducted from the intake hood into an initial separation compartment where some of the debris is removed from the air flow with the remaining air flow directed alternatively through one or the other of the first and second filter compartments for a selected period of time during which time finer particulates accumulate on the surface of the filter media. Thereafter, the air flow is redirected to the other filter compartment while pneumatic valves in the first filter compartment are selectively actuated to direct one or more pulses of compressed air into the filter media of the first filter compartment to remove accumulated particles on the filter media and effective “reverse flush” or purge the filter media. The first and second filter compartments are alternately place in and out of the air flow to filter particulates therefrom with the filter compartment that is taken out of the air flow subjected to the “reverse flush” to remove accumulate particulates therefrom.05-07-2009

The translucent YAG article is characterized by an average domain size of less than 1 micron and having a density of at least 99% and inclusions present at less than 2 surface area percent. The ability of a batch of yttrium aluminum oxide nanoparticles to serve as a transparent YAG precursor includes collecting an X-ray fluorescence spectrum from a plurality of aluminum oxide nanoparticles having a predominant crystal structure other than garnet to yield an A1:Y raw integrated peak intensity ratio. The nanoparticles are sintered to yield a predominant garnet phase and a secondary phase and optionally isostatic pressing during sintering. By using only precursor nanoparticles with a standard deviation of ±0.003 in the peak ratio exceptionally high transparency YAG is reproducibly produced.02-25-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100294477Auxiliary Conduit Cutting Apparatus - A cutting assembly for external conduits on a tubing string features a breakaway in the string that can be severed with a tensile force. Preferably each external conduit is run through a cutter housing. Upon severing of the string and applying a pickup force, a tension is applied to each external conduit since the severing of the string happens above all the cutter housings. Each housing cuts at least one conduit and the upper portion of the string brings with it the upper portion of the external conduit while the lower portions of each cut external conduit are retained in the cutter housings that remain downhole below the breakaway. In that manner there are no loose external conduit ends to interfere with and/or disturb subsequent fishing or other wellbore operations.11-25-2010
20100294478Auxiliary Conduit Cutting Apparatus - A cutting assembly for external conduits on a tubing string or main tubular conduit features at least one breakaway in the string that can be severed with a tensile force. Preferably each external conduit is run through a cutter housing that is integral with a passage having threaded end connections. While in some scenarios it is preferred that the main tubular conduit is severed below the cutting assembly thus allowing the cutting apparatus to be retrieved with the upper portions of the cut main tubular conduit and external longitudinal member(s), in other circumstances it may be desired that the main tubular conduit is severed above the cutting assembly allowing the cutting apparatus to be left “downhole” with the lower portion of the cut main tubular conduit and the BHA. The cutter knife assembly chambers or channels can be in banks that are axially spaced using bypass channels to access lower banks. The cutter knife assembly and associated channels can be mirror images so that the external conduits can be cut regardless of where the tubing string is severed and one or more conduits can be cut with a single cutter assembly.11-25-2010
