| 20100018234 | FABRICATION MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUES FOR PLATE HEAT AND MASS EXCHANGERS FOR INDIRECT EVAPORATIVE COOLERS - Heat exchanger plates for indirect evaporative coolers, of the type having a dry side having low permeability to an evaporative liquid and formed to allow a product fluid to flow over a heat transfer area of its surface, a wet side designed to have its surface wet by an evaporative liquid, and formed to allow a working gas to flow over its surface to evaporate the evaporative liquid, are formed such that the wet side comprises a hydrophobic fiber sheet and the dry side comprises a non-permeable sealing layer on the sheet. Heat seal strips are formed at the inlet and outlet of the plates and air flow perforations are formed through the plates. | 01-28-2010 |
| 20110108406 | WATER DISTILLATION METHOD AND APPARATUSFOR INDIRECT EVAPORATIVE COOLERS - Apparatus for distilling a fluid such as water includes a vessel and heat transfer plates within the vessel structures to form at least one each cooling channel, evaporative channel, and condensing channel. Air enters the vessel and passes through the cooling channel, where it is cooled due to evaporation taking place in an adjacent evaporative channel. In the evaporative channel, input fluid is supplied to the walls of the heat transfer plates facing into the evaporative channel and evaporation forms vapor. The vapor is condensed in a condensing channel. In some embodiments, an evaporation channel forms a vacuum chamber and a condensing channel forms a compression chamber. | 05-12-2011 |

| 20090090555 | AUTOMATED DIRECTIONAL DRILLING APPARATUS AND METHODS - Methods and systems for drilling to a target location include a control system that receives an input comprising a planned drilling path to a target location and determines a projected location of a bottom hole assembly of a drilling system. The projected location of the bottom hole assembly is compared to the planned drilling path to determine a deviation amount. A modified drilling path is created to the target location as selected based on the amount of deviation from the planned drilling path, and drilling rig control signals that steer the bottom hole assembly of the drilling system to the target location along the modified drilling path are generated. | 04-09-2009 |

| 20090277905 | LOCKING DEVICE FOR A BOX - A locking device for a locking a lid to a body of storage box is disclosed. The locking device a key operated turnable portion and arms extending from the arms. Each arm has an end portion that is received in a first recess in the side of the body and a hook portion that is received in a second recess in the front face of the body. When the locking device is in an unlocked position the end portions do not extend into the first recesses and the hook portions are positioned so that they can move in and out of the second recess as the lid is lifted. In the lock position the end portions extend into the first recesses and the hook portion can engage a surface of the recess preventing their removal from the recess. | 11-12-2009 |

| 20090194296 | Extended Length Cable Assembly for a Hydrocarbon Well Application - A cable assembly for use in a hydrocarbon well of extensive depth. The cable assembly may be effectively employed at well depths of over 30,000 feet. Indeed, embodiments of the assembly may be effectively employed at depths of over 50,000 feet while powering and directing downhole equipment at a downhole end thereof The assembly may be made up of a comparatively high break strength uphole cable portion coupled to a lighter downhole cable portion. This configuration helps to ensure the structural integrity of the assembly in light of its own load when disposed in a well to such extensive depths. Additionally, the assembly may be employed at such depths with an intervening connector sub having a signal amplification mechanism incorporated therein to alleviate concern over telemetry between the surface of the oilfield and the downhole equipment. | 08-06-2009 |
| 20100032154 | Scale Removal Assembly - An assembly for cleanout of scale buildup from a wall of a hydrocarbon well. The assembly is configured to be deployed and operated under pressure without the requirement of coiled tubing to deliver cleanout fluid. The assembly may include a plug for sealing against the wall of the well immediately above the location of scale buildup. A cleanout tool, such as a jetting nozzle may be coupled to the downhole side of the plug. Thus, fluid and pressure may be provided to the well uphole of the plug. In this manner, the plug may direct the fluid to the jetting nozzle to achieve cleanout of the scale buildup. | 02-11-2010 |
| 20100181072 | Downhole Well Access Line Cutting Tool - A cutting tool for cutting a wireline, slickline, coiled tubing, or other well access line stuck downhole in a well. The tool includes a host of features including a propulsion mechanism to aid in delivering the tool to a predetermined cut location of the line. In this manner, the risk of unintended uphole cutting of the line may be minimized. Thus, the time and expense of any follow-on fishing operations to remove tools stuck further downhole may be reduced. | 07-22-2010 |

| 20100263441 | MULTIPLE STAGE MECHANICAL DRIFT TOOL - A downhole tool for measuring a diameter within a borehole includes a mandrel having a first end and a second end with an axis defined therethrough. A tapered surface is formed on an outside surface of the mandrel such that a first end of the tapered surface has a larger diameter than a second end of the tapered surface. The downhole tool further includes a collet disposed about the mandrel such that the collet is configured to move along the axis of the mandrel with respect to the mandrel in a direction from the first end of the mandrel to the second end of the mandrel. A method of measuring a diameter within a borehole, using a downhole tool including a mandrel having a first end, a second end, and an axis defined therethrough; and a collet disposed about the mandrel, the method includes: disposing the downhole tool into the borehole such that the first end of the mandrel enters the borehole before the second end of the mandrel; and applying a force to the second end of the downhole tool, upon the downhole tool contacting an obstruction in the borehole. Based on the force applied to the downhole tool, the collet moves along the axis of the mandrel with respect to the mandrel such that an outer diameter of the downhole tool decreases. A method of manufacturing a downhole tool for measuring a diameter within a borehole includes providing a mandrel having a first end and a second end with an axis defined therethrough, forming a tapered surface on an outside surface of the mandrel such that a first end of the tapered surface has a larger diameter than a second end of the tapered surface; and disposing a collet about the mandrel such that the collet is configured to move along the axis of the mandrel with respect to the mandrel in a direction from the first end of the mandrel to the second end of the mandrel. | 10-21-2010 |

| 20110184748 | Self-administered patient healthcare management system - A system to help patients manage their healthcare using a comprehensive package of healthcare reminders administered by remote computing and wireless communications devices. Healthy lifestyle, preventive care, chronic condition maintenance care, medication compliance and custom reminders are set according to a schedule and delivered via email, SMS text message, IVR phone message, live voice phone or other communications methods. Participants respond to reminders with their actual progress toward achieving the goal or with data concerning their condition which is recorded and reported. Tools allow users to schedule healthcare provider appointments and receive related reminders and follow-ups, refill prescriptions and generate a variety of reports to track their own progress and condition and which can be shared with a physician. Participating physicians have direct access to patient records to monitor progress and compliance in real time and to communicate with and manage their patients. Integration of personal health records and electronic medical records systems when available permit detailed analysis to identify potential issues and recommend certain reminders to improve the overall quality and integration of care. | 07-28-2011 |
