Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090218099Method for Enhancing Heavy Hydrocarbon Recovery - Amines or ammonia and amines may be used to enhance recovery of heavy hydrocarbons. The amines or ammonia and amines alone or with water, steam or an oil solvent are combined with the heavy hydrocarbons to promote the transport of the heavy hydrocarbons. The amines or ammonia and amines may be injected downhole or admixed with heavy hydrocarbon containing ore on the surface, optionally with water or steam. Ammonia may be used alone with high quality steam.09-03-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090036329INHIBITING NAPHTHENATE SOLIDS AND EMULSIONS IN CRUDE OIL - Naphthenic acid solids and/or emulsions can be inhibited by introducing an additive to crude oil prior to or concurrent with the deprotonation of the naphthenic acids present in the crude oil. The additives may be surfactants and can be amines, quaternary ammonium compounds, quaternary phosphonium compounds, and mixtures of both. The additives may also be linear compounds having at least two carboxylic acid or acrylic acid functional moieties.02-05-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110067825Digital Printed Privacy Shade - The present invention relates to window or doorway shades or blinds assemblies. These assemblies contain top translucent portions for simultaneously allowing indoor occupants to receive natural outdoor light in a room while maintaining the privacy of a closed shade or blind. In addition, these assemblies may be customized with internal and external images, which may be removable or directly printed on the assemblies.03-24-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110024131METHOD FOR RECOVERING OIL FROM AN OIL WELL - In a method for optimizing gas lift operations in the production of crude oil, a surfactant is injected into the an oil well such that the surface tension between a lift gas and the formation fluid being produced is reduced and/or a lift gas-formation fluid foam is formed. The reduction in surface tension and/or foam formation increases the efficiency of the lift gas for lifting the formation fluid to the surface. The surfactant is a silicone resin which may be combined with other surfactants, in some embodiments. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract which will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.02-03-2011

20090027213Perishable product electronic label including time and temerature measurement - An electronic assembly may be contained in a label that performs time-temperature integration (TTI) and indicates that time and/or temperature levels have been reached that may compromise the quality, shelf life, or safety of the item to which the label is affixed. The label may be used on a wide variety of objects that require careful handling in terms of temperature and/or time elapsed before use. The labeling system includes circuitry that measures and calculates, and indictor(s) that signal that the time has come for discounted sale, and, later, that the time has come for disposal rather than sale. Optionally, the circuitry may act as an “over-temperature alarm” system, to measure, calculate, and indicate when a one-time temperature violation has occurred that is of such a magnitude that the item is immediately considered compromised or spoiled. The label may take the form of a flexible, disposable label that is typically powered by a small battery. Methods may include providing a temperature-variable oscillator or time-base, counting cycles of said oscillator within a logic circuit to determine when one or more preset total cycle counts is/are reached, and signaling when said total cycle count(s) is/are reached. Extra sensing, time-keeping, memory storage, and/or communication interface circuits may be incorporated to augment the electronic assembly's and method's capabilities.01-29-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120079100ELECTRONIC DEVICE DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEMS AND METHODS - Embodiments of methods of evaluating a wireless communication device using a computing system are provided. The embodiments include establishing a data connection between the wireless communication device and the computing system, and receiving device-specific information associated with the wireless communication device. The device-specific information includes at least one identifier associated with the wireless communication device. The device-specific information is provided to a server over a network, and additional device-specific information associated with evaluating the wireless communication device is received in response to providing the device-specific information to the server. Finally, in response to receiving the additional device-specific information, diagnostic-related information and a representation of the additional device-specific information are displayed on the computing system.03-29-2012
