| 20080309437 | Fault Interrupting and Reclosing Device - A fault interrupting and reclosing device includes a circuit interrupter coupled to an actuator. The actuator includes at least one force generating element for generating an opening force for opening the circuit interrupter and for generating a restoring force to close the circuit interrupter. The device further includes a latch to engage the actuator to hold the contacts open once opened. In a preferred arrangement, the device is provided with an automatic mode of operation including a reclose process and a non-reclosing mode of operation. The device also preferably includes a method of determining the end-of-life of a vacuum interrupter monitors characteristics and/or parameters of a fault current or vacuum interrupter operation to predict a percent of life consumed with each fault current interruption operation. A cumulative percent of life consumed may also be determined, and an end-of-life may be predicted based upon the cumulative percent of life consumed. | 12-18-2008 |

| 20080241007 | Catalytic converter with inner sheath and method for making the same - A catalytic converter has a cylindrical, monolithic catalyst element cylindrically enclosed and retained in a thin metallic sheath having ends extending to end portions of a case around openings therein so that the sheath substantially divides the internal volume of the case into an inner flow channel containing the catalyst element through which substantially all gas flow is directed and an outer volume separated from the catalytic element and retaining a heat insulating mat wrapped around the sheath. The sheath may be provided with a resilient structure at each end to engage the case and thus help support the catalyst element therein. | 10-02-2008 |

| 20090217739 | METHOD FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND QUALITY CONTROL OF FLOW-OPTIMIZED SHAPED CHARGES - An improved test setup facility, referred to as a “Quick Development Cell” (QDC), which allows for rapid turnaround testing with valuable feedback to a design engineer. Because the QDC allows for quick and efficient testing at a sufficient frequency, QDC tests are compatible with production quality control. In addition to fostering improvement of the API's Section 2 type tests using stressed natural rock for benchmark experiments, the QDC tests allow for progress to be made towards the development of a flow-optimized shape charge and superior well performance. | 09-03-2009 |

| 20100132945 | Method for Perforating a Wellbore in Low Underbalance Systems - By substantially eliminating the crushed zone surrounding a perforation tunnel and expelling debris created upon activation of a shaped charge with first and second successive explosive events, the need for surge flow associated with underbalanced perforating techniques is eliminated. The break down of the rock fabric at the tunnel tip, caused by the near-instantaneous overpressure generated within the tunnel, further creates substantially debris-free tunnels in conditions of limited or no underbalance as well as in conditions of overbalance. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20100132946 | Method for the Enhancement of Injection Activities and Stimulation of Oil and Gas Production - By removing material of low permeability from within and around a perforation tunnel and creating at least one fracture at the tip of a perforation tunnel, injection parameters and effects such as outflow rate and, in the case of multiple perforation tunnels benefiting from such cleanup, distribution of injected fluids along a wellbore are enhanced. Following detonation of a charge carrier, a second explosive event is triggered within a freshly made tunnel, thereby substantially eliminating a crushed zone and improving the geometry and quality (and length) of the tunnel. In addition, this action creates substantially debris-free tunnels and relieves the residual stress cage, resulting in perforation tunnels that are highly conducive to injection under fracturing conditions for disposal and stimulation purposes, and that promote even coverage of injected fluids across the perforated interval. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20100132947 | Method for Perforating Failure-Prone Formations - By using reactive shaped charges to perforate failure prone formations, the present invention is able to keep formation sand in place and increase productivity. An efficient flow distribution is surprisingly produced without requiring surge flow or post-perforation stimulation. Further, using the secondary reactive effects of reactive shaped charges allows for the reduction of the risk of erosion and minimization of sand production. In a preferred embodiment, a liner capable of producing a strongly exothermic intermetallic reaction between liner components within and around the tunnel is used to achieve a high percentage of substantially clean and enlarged perforation tunnels conducive to flow or gravel packing | 06-03-2010 |
| 20100133005 | Method for the Enhancement of Dynamic Underbalanced Systems and Optimization of Gun Weight - By using reactive shaped charges, a dynamic underbalance effect associated with detonation of a perforating system is enhanced without compromising shot density. Fewer shaped charges can be loaded to achieve the same or better effective shot density as a gun fully loaded with conventional shaped charges, thereby increasing the free volume within the gun while creating debris-free tunnels with fractured tips and substantially eliminating the crushed zone surrounding each perforated tunnel. Further, the strength and grade of gun steel required to construct the gun can be reduced without compromising the amount the gun swells following detonation. | 06-03-2010 |

| 20090101308 | MICRO-CHANNEL PULSATING HEAT PUMP - A heat pump device and method in which micro-channel embedded pulsating heat pumps are incorporated into a substrate. A volume of fluid in a vacuum is introduced into a micro-channel which will become slugs of liquid. Heating of the contents of the micro-channel at an evaporation (heat source) will cause vaporization within the micro-channel and cooling at a heat sink will cause condensation within the micro-channel, acting to both drive fluid flow within the micro-channel and efficiently transfer heat. Such devices could be used in a number of different configuration, including as a stacked set of micro-channel embedded substrates. | 04-23-2009 |
