Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100232121Interconnect for Printed Board Assembly - A printed board includes a base printed board including a trace; an electronic component operably associated with the base printed board; and a dielectric connector build-up extending from the base printed board. The dielectric connector build-up defines a via. The printed board further includes a land attachment site disposed in the via. The land attachment site extends through the dielectric connector build-up and into the base printed board. The land attachment site is electrically coupled with the trace and is configured to be electrically coupled to another printed board by one of an electrically conductive compound and a flowed solder ball.09-16-2010

20090250264Method of Drilling and Production Hydrocarbons from Subsurface Formations - A method associated with the production of hydrocarbons. In one embodiment, a method for drilling a well is described. The method includes identifying a field having hydrocarbons. Then, one or more wells are drilled to a subsurface location in the field to provide fluid flow paths for hydrocarbons to a production facility. The drilling is performed by (i) estimating a drill rate for one of the wells; (ii) determining a difference between the estimated drill rate and an actual drill rate; (iii) obtaining mechanical specific energy (MSE) data and other measured data during the drilling of the one of the wells; (iv) using the obtained MSE data and other measured data to determine one of a plurality of limiters that limit the drill rate; (v) adjusting drilling operations to mitigate one of the plurality of limiters; (vi) and iteratively repeating steps (i)-(v) until the subsurface formation has been reached by the drilling operations.10-08-2009
20100181073Method For Controlling Loss of Drilling Fluid - Methods for drilling and treating for lost returns continuously while drilling are provided. High fluid loss drilling fluid is used, along with particulate material that forms an immobile mass in hydraulic fractures to prevent their growth. The particulate material may be selected based on the predicted size of a hydraulic fracture, based on particle size to minimize fines, based on specific gravity to attain high solids content for a selected fluid density, and/or based on permeability of the particles to a high spurt loss.07-22-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100152676Drug Loading Through Plunger - A drug loading apparatus includes a plunger with a through hole or slit valve located in the top face of the plunger. A dispensing chamber housing located in a drug delivery device is configured to receive the plunger so that a dispensing chamber is formed when the plunger is located in the dispensing chamber housing. The drug can then be loaded into the dispensing chamber through the plunger, and a piston with an end configured to seal the through hole or engage the plunger with the slit valve can then be inserted.06-17-2010
20100160870Two Piece Housing For Drug Loading - A drug loading apparatus has a dispensing chamber housing formed by a top housing part and a bottom housing part. The top housing part is separable from the bottom housing part. A plunger is located in the bottom housing part such that the plunger forms a first fluid seal with an inner wall of the bottom housing part. When the top housing part is coupled to the bottom housing part, a second fluid seal is formed.06-24-2010

20110002480SYSTEM, METHOD, AND DEVICE FOR INTELLIGENCE GATHERING AND POSITION TRACKING - A mobile communication device that may be used by an investigator to secretly record a suspect and track the investigator's location includes a microphone for detecting sounds, a communication component for transmitting signals or data representative of the sounds to one of the portable computers via the wireless communication network, a display for displaying information related to operation of the device, a computing device, and a computer program implemented by the computing device. The computer program is operable to place the device in a stealth mode in which the display is turned off or otherwise deactivated to make the entire device appear to be turned off while the microphone continues to detect sounds and the communication component continues to transmit signals or data representative of the sounds to a surveillance or support team operating one of the portable computers. The mobile communication device may also include a location-determining component for determining geographic locations of the device and for transmitting location data to the portable computer.01-06-2011
