| 20100169286 | Methods, Systems, and Products for Updating Web Content - Methods, systems, and products are disclosed for dynamically updating web content using W3C standards. One such method sends a request to a web server for a web page. A web browser receives and renders a static HTML web page. The web browser periodically sends a query to the web server and, in response, receives a latest date and time stamp indicating the latest update to the web page. The web browser compares the latest date and time stamp to a previously stored date and time stamp representing a previous update. If the latest date and time stamp matches the previously stored date and time stamp, then no update has occurred and no update is required. If, however, the date and time stamps do not match, then the web page has changed since the previous update and the web browser retrieves the latest update to the web page. | 07-01-2010 |

| 20090084553 | SLIDING SLEEVE VALVE ASSEMBLY WITH SAND SCREEN - A system and method for completing a well with multiple zones of production is provided, including a casing having a plurality of valves integrated therein for isolating each well zone, establishing communication between each underlying formation and the interior of the casing, delivering a treatment fluid to each of the multiple well zones, and filtering produced fluids from each underlying formation. | 04-02-2009 |
| 20090242197 | FLOW CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DOWNHOLE OIL-WATER PROCESSING - A technique is provided for processing well fluid downhole. The technique utilizes equipment for separating a well fluid downhole into a water component and an oil component. The separation of water and oil can be controlled by selecting an appropriately sized flow restrictor for use in limiting the flow of one or both of the water and the oil. Additionally, a sensor system is used to monitor a well characteristic that enables adjustment of the downhole fluid processing based on well characteristic data from the sensor system. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20100040492 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REDUCING THRUST ACTING ON SUBMERSIBLE PUMPING COMPONENTS - A technique is provided to facilitate pumping of fluids in a well environment. A submersible pumping system having a submersible pump incorporates features that manage thrust loads resulting from rotating impellers. The thrust reducing features cooperate with the action of the impellers in one or more pump stages to reduce forces otherwise acting on certain pump related components. | 02-18-2010 |
| 20100200513 | SURFACE SEPARATION SYSTEM FOR SEPARATING FLUIDS - The present application relates to a surface separation system used to separate fluids such as oil, gas, water, and/or sand slurry produced from a well. The separation system may include a pumping system, such as a horizontal pumping system (HPS), a separator, and flow control hardware. The separator system may be mounted on a skid or incorporated directly into a production flow. The separator system may be used in conjunction and/or in parallel with a conventional surface separation facility. | 08-12-2010 |
| 20110000675 | FLOW CONTROL DEVICE AND METHOD FOR A DOWNHOLE OIL-WATER SEPARATOR - A downhole device having an oil/water separator having a well fluid inlet, an oil stream outlet conduit, and a water stream outlet conduit; a removable flow-restrictor located in at least one of the water stream outlet conduit or the oil stream outlet conduit. | 01-06-2011 |
| 20110146977 | TWO-STAGE DOWNHOLE OIL-WATER SEPARATION - A method for downhole oil-water separation, according to one or more aspects of the present disclosure, comprises disposing a oil-water separation system in a wellbore, the system comprising a first separator connected in hydraulic series with a second separator; separating a well fluid in the first separator into a first injection stream and a first production stream; discharging the first injection stream to an inlet of the second separator; separating the first injection stream in the second separator into an output injection stream and a second production stream; and injecting the output injection stream from the wellbore into an injection formation. | 06-23-2011 |

| 20090105782 | VAGUS NERVE STIMULATION APPARATUS, AND ASSOCIATED METHODS - Methods and apparatus for providing vagus nerve stimulation for the treatment of diseases such as depression and epilepsy that do not require an onboard, implanted power supply. Power may be supplied from outside of the body by near-field inductive coupling with an external power supply provided in a support article (e.g., garment) worn by the patient. Power may also be supplied by providing an antenna for harvesting ambient RF energy and converting it into DC power. In addition, the methods and apparatus provide for remote, wireless programming of the parameters that specify the nature of current pulses provided to the vagus nerve by probes implanted in the body of the patient. The preferred stimulation profile is 1-2 milliamp pulses of 250 microseconds in duration at a frequency of 20 to 30 Hz, wherein the profile is repeatedly on for 30 seconds and off for 5 minutes. | 04-23-2009 |
