| 20100282476 | PRODUCTION TUBING DRAIN VALVE - A tubing drain valve in a production tubing string, positioned above a pump, is operated to open drain ports in the housing for draining produced fluids from the production tubing when the pump is shut off. The drain valve incorporates a check valve assembly which is freely moveable within the drain valve to shift a sleeve to open and close the drain ports. An uphole end of the check valve assembly is above the sleeve and seals to the top of a sleeve to shift the sleeve downhole and open the drain ports. A downhole end of the check valve is positioned below the sleeve in the valve. When the pump is turned on, the downhole end of the check valve assembly moves uphole to seal to the sleeve, creating a positive force to lift the sleeve to block the drain ports. The produced fluids flow through the valve and the production tubing to surface. The positive force minimizes the effect of fouling of the valve due to debris above the valve which might otherwise result in failure to shift the sleeve uphole, leaving the drain ports open. | 11-11-2010 |

| 20110045928 | SYNCHRONIZED SEGMENTALLY INTERCHANGING PULLEY TRANSMISSION SYSTEM - A segmented pulley transmission is provided. A pulley assembly is rotationally mounted on an axle. The pulley assembly includes a core pulley having a first set of mating features on a peripheral surface thereof. A pulley segment set comprises a number of pulley segments slidably mounted in the pulley assembly and arranged in a ring concentric with the core pulley. The pulley segments are individually actuatable out of the pulley assembly into an engaging position and into the pulley assembly into a non-engaging position. The pulley segments have a second set of mating features on an peripheral surface matching the first set of mating features. An endless drive member has corresponding mating features on an inside surface for engaging the first and second sets of mating features of the core pulley and the pulley segments in an engaging position. Contact between the endless drive member and a core pulley defines a contact zone. An actuator actuates the pulley segments between the engaging and non-engaging positions when the pulley segments are outside of the contact zone. One of the key pulley segments in the pulley segment set is a key pulley segment that is positioned relative to the core pulley such that when the key pulley segment is actuated to the engaging position and rotated into the contact zone, the corresponding mating features of the endless drive member engage the first set of mating features of the core pulley and the second set of mating features of the key pulley segment without the introduction of significant slack or tension. | 02-24-2011 |

| 20120096448 | APPARATUS AND METHOD TO SELECTIVELY REMOVE MEMOIZING FUNCTIONS FROM PROGRAM CODE - A method to selectively remove memoizing functions from computer program code is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, such a method includes locating a memoizing function call in program code. The method then replaces the memoizing function call with a simple object allocation. Using escape analysis, the method determines whether the replacement is legal. If the replacement is not legal, the method removes the simple object allocation and reinserts the original memoizing function call in its place. If the replacement is legal, the method retains the simple object allocation in the program code. If desired, certain compiler optimizations, such as stack allocation and scalarization, may then be performed on the simple object allocation. A corresponding computer program product and apparatus are also disclosed herein. | 04-19-2012 |
