20160061665 | Wide-Area Real-Time Method for Detecting Foreign Fluids on Water Surfaces - A method using Infrared Imaging Polarimetry for detecting the presence of foreign fluids on water comprises estimating an expected polarization response for a foreign fluid desired to be detected. Oil from an oil spill is one such foreign fluid. An optimal position of a polarimeter to take images of the water's surface is determined from the expected polarization response. The polarimeter is positioned at the optimal position and records raw image data of the water's surface to obtain polarized images of the area. The polarized images are corrected, and IR and polarization data products are computed. The IR and polarization data products are converted to multi-dimensional data set to form multi-dimensional imagery. Contrast algorithms are applied to the multi-dimensional imagery to form enhanced contrast images, from which foreign fluids can be automatically detected. | 03-03-2016 |

20120125637 | NON-METALLIC SLIP ASSEMBLY AND RELATED METHODS - A slip assembly adapted to be used with a downhole tool which comprises metal slip inserts attached to a slip carrier made of a non-metallic material, such as composite material. As such, the non-metallic slip carrier can eliminate 60-70% or more of the metal used in conventional slip assemblies. Through use of the disclosed slip assembly, downhole tools may be set, while also reducing the metallic material used therein and, thus, greatly reducing the drill out time. | 05-24-2012 |
20120125642 | CONVERTIBLE MULTI-FUNCTION DOWNHOLE ISOLATION TOOL AND RELATED METHODS - A downhole isolation tool adapted to be converted in the field into any one of a bridge plug, ball drop plug, or a caged ball plug. The components used to assemble the tool, such as the mandrel, slips, and conversion adapters and accessories, are constructed primarily of non-metallic material. Through use of the disclosed isolation tool, drillout time is greatly reduced. | 05-24-2012 |
20150176366 | NON-METALLIC SLIP ASSEMBLY AND RELATED METHODS - A downhole isolation tool includes a mandrel made of non-metallic material, the mandrel comprising an isolation region at a first end of the mandrel, a shear sleeve adapter disposable on an outer surface of the isolation region, the shear sleeve adapter having holes aligned with holes in the outer surface of the isolation region, a slip assembly positioned around an outer surface of the mandrel, a packing element positioned around the outer surface of the mandrel, and a shoe positioned around the outer surface of the mandrel at a second end of the mandrel. | 06-25-2015 |

20090148743 | High performance multilayer electrodes for use in oxygen-containing gases - Electrode materials systems for planar solid oxide fuel cells with high electrochemical performance including anode materials that provide exceptional long-term durability when used in reducing gases and cathode materials that provide exceptional long-term durability when used in oxygen-containing gases. The cathode materials comprise zinc-doped lanthanum strontium ferrite (LSZF) or an alternative ferrite, cobaltite or nickelate ceramic electrode material. The cathode material also may comprise a mixed-conducting ceria-based electrolyte material, a palladium dopant, or a combination of these. The cathode may have a bi-layer structure. A ceramic-based interfacial layer may be provided at the electrolyte/cathode interface. The multilayer cathode system and its palladium doped cathode material exhibit a high degree of tolerance to chromium contamination during operation with metallic interconnect materials. | 06-11-2009 |

20120146383 | Baby Safe Seatbelt - A child safe seatbelt comprising a belt configured to (i) releasably engage securely around the waist of a child and (ii) be engaged by a passenger seatbelt that is secured to a moving vehicle. The passenger seatbelt that engages the child safe seatbelt may be secured to a passenger such that the child secured by the child seatbelt sits on the passenger's (e.g., adult's) lap, and the child seatbelt is secured around the child's waist and engaged by the passenger seatbelt that is secured around the waist of the passenger on whose lap the child is sitting. The child seatbelt may be secured both to a child and to a passenger seatbelt that is not secured to a passenger, such that the child secured by the child seatbelt sits on a seat of a vehicle, and the passenger belt of the vehicle seat engages and secures the child seatbelt. The vehicle may be an airplane. | 06-14-2012 |
