| 20120125027 | Evaporative Pre-cooler Residential Air Conditioning Condenser Coil - An evaporative pre-cooling system for increasing the efficiency of a residential air conditioner condensing unit utilizing a wet medium in contact with low velocity moving air allowing evaporation to occur across the wet medium thereby reducing the associated dry bulb air temperature of the air moving across the wet pad as the air absorbs moisture. In the present invention, the embodiment of the pre-cooling apparatus encapsulates the condensing unit with a wet cellulose media, water not absorbed during the evaporation cycle is recycled, and water generated by the evaporator coil is discharged into the sump to further reduce tap water consumption. In the embodiment of the present invention, the wet pre-cool mode is thermostatically in parallel with the electrical circuit energizing the pre-cooler system in tandem with the air conditioning compressor motor. The embodiment of the pre-cooling apparatus is constructed of cellulose evaporative pads, plastic top, plastic upper distribution channels, plastic lower water recovery channels, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) piping and fittings for water distribution, plastic frame, PVC for water drains, plastic sump reservoir, and plastic close-off panels providing total recyclability of the embodiment of the complete evaporative pre-cooler enclosure apparatus. | 05-24-2012 |

| 20080230234 | System and method for thermal change compensation in an annular isolator - In accordance with the teachings of the present invention, a system and method for forming an annular isolator between production tubing and a borehole wall is provided. A section of expandable tubing is installed in a borehole, and a sleeve disposed around a surface of the tubing cooperates with the tubing to form a fluid chamber. The sleeve includes a first portion that is predisposed to expand outwardly under fluid pressure from the fluid chamber, and a second portion that is configured such that, when expanded due to fluid pressure, the second portion stores energy that is biased to sustain the fluid pressure within the chamber, in response to a change in fluid volume. The tubing may be expanded using a tool disposed within the tubing. | 09-25-2008 |
| 20080251250 | Annular Isolators for Expandable Tubulars in Wellbores - The present disclosure addressed apparatus and methods for forming an annular isolator in a borehole after installation of production tubing. Annular seal means are carried in or on production tubing as it is run into a borehole. In conjunction with expansion of the tubing, the seal is deployed to form an annular isolator. An inflatable element carried on the tubing may be inflated with a fluid carried in the tubing and forced into the inflatable element during expansion of the tubing. Reactive chemicals may be carried in the tubing and injected into the annulus to react with each other and ambient fluids to increase in volume and harden into an annular seal. An elastomeric sleeve, ring or band carried on the tubing may be expanded into contact with a borehole wall and may have its radial dimension increased in conjunction with tubing expansion to form an annular isolator. | 10-16-2008 |

| 20080257560 | Running Tool for Expandable Liner Hanger and Associated Methods - A running tool includes subassemblies which release the running tool from the liner hanger in response to application of alternating tensile and compressive forces after application of left-hand torque. A running tool includes subassemblies which set the liner hanger in response to left-hand torque followed by increased pressure, and in response to increased pressure without prior left-hand torque being applied. A running tool includes threaded connections, without torque transmitted through the running tool being transmitted by the threaded connections. A method of setting a liner hanger includes applying a compressive force to the running tool; then applying left-hand torque to the running tool; and then applying a tensile force to the running tool. A method of releasing a liner hanger includes applying left-hand torque to the running tool; and then releasing the running tool from the liner hanger by applying a tensile force to the running tool. | 10-23-2008 |

| 20110116242 | TAMPER EVIDENT PCBA FILM - Method and apparatus for constructing and operating a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA). In some embodiments, a plurality of electronic components are attached to a first side of a substrate that has at least one electrical lead that connects the electrical components is present on an opposite second side of the substrate. A primary film is adhered to the second side of the substrate to create an air tight seal around each electrical lead. A secondary film is then adhered to the primary film and provides a cantilevered lift tab that extends outside the bounds of the primary film. The secondary film has a lower bond strength than the primary film. | 05-19-2011 |

| 20080314684 | FOOTHOLD FOR CLIMBING TREE STANDS - A climbing tree stand includes a platform, a pair of support arms attached to the platform, and a pair of stirrup-like devices attached to the platform or the support arms and extending generally over the platform. The pair of stirrup-like devices are substantially rigid, and each comprises a molded plastic body. In one embodiment, the substantially rigid stirrup-like devices are attached to the support arms of the climbing tree stand and generally are curved downwardly towards the platform. | 12-25-2008 |

| 20110029521 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR COMMUNICATION AMONG COLLABORATING USERS - Embodiments relate to methods and systems for building representations of related subjects. The representations may include a plurality of nodes, each being associated with a subject. Users may be able to access records and/or source documents related to a plurality of subjects and add or modify node characteristics based thereon. Users may interact with (e.g., by adding to or modifying) documents, files, and/or records and may also make other changes or additions to nodes in the system. A process may then identify what other users may be interested in such interaction and why. For example, a score may be associated with the interaction and other users based on factors such as whether the users have linked to the document, file or record and/or the node the interaction may apply to. Interacting users, identified users, and interaction details may be stored in a database. Identified users may be notified of the interaction. | 02-03-2011 |

| 20100319217 | Integral ankle support for a shoe - An integral ankle support for a shoe has a support element and a cushioning element. The support element has horizontally elongated, generally parallel, and panel-like edge upstanding wings having corresponding front and rear ends joined at their rear ends by an integral, curved, and edge upstanding bight panel portion. The support element is constructed of semi-rigid, but partially flexible, material that is lightweight and moldable. The support element has a bottom tab that is oriented substantially perpendicular to the wings and that extends inwardly under the insole of the shoe. The ankle cushioning element is located on the inner surfaces of the rear ends of the wings and the central portion of the lower margin of the bight panel portion. The ankle support is incorporated as part of the internal structure of the shoe so as to remain fixed in place and provide enhanced support to the wearer's foot. | 12-23-2010 |
