20090255664 | COMBINATION WHIPSTOCK AND SEAL BORE DIVERTER SYSTEM - A combination whipstock and seal bore diverter system includes a whipstock; and a diverter configured to receive and support the whipstock in a selected orientation, the system being installable in a single run in a borehole. | 10-15-2009 |
20100084140 | DOWNHOLE SEAL AND ANCHOR RELEASING SYSTEM AND METHOD - A downhole seal and anchor releasing device includes, a seal defeatable via a first pull, an anchor releasable via a second pull, and an energy dissipation device configured to dissipate enough energy from the first pull subsequent defeat of the seal to prevent release of the anchor in response to the first pull | 04-08-2010 |
20110315389 | Downhole Multiple Cycle Tool - A tool for use in a wellbore which includes a housing having an axial flow bore and a piston sleeve moveably disposed within the flow bore. The tool is moveable between first and second operating positions by an actuation mechanism having a piston with a ball seat. The tool can be moved between first and second operating positions with the use of actuating balls of different sizes that can be landed upon the ball seat. | 12-29-2011 |
20120211221 | Annulus Mounted Potential Energy Driven Setting Tool - An actuator and method for setting a subterranean tool uses an externally mounted actuator on a tubular string that is operably engaged to the tool to be actuated. At the desired location for actuation a signal is given to a valve assembly. The opening of the valve releases the pressurized compressible fluid against a floating piston. The piston drives viscous fluid ahead of itself through the now open valve that in turn drives an actuating piston whose movement sets the tool. The triggering mechanism to open the valve can be a variety of methods including an acoustic signal, a vibration signal, a change in magnetic field, or elastic deformation of the tubular wall adjacent the valve assembly. | 08-23-2012 |

20090285947 | FROZEN CONFECTIONERY PRODUCTS - A frozen confection product that has a relaxatory effect when consumed is provided, the product comprising a frozen composition and a chocolate composition or a chocolate analogue composition which comprises non-fat cocoa solids. The product comprises at least 0.01 wt % γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and at most 0.05 wt % theobromine. | 11-19-2009 |
20100166933 | Frozen Confectionery and Beverage Products - A frozen confection or a beverage product is provided which contains at least 400 mg of theobromine and at least 40 mg of caffeine per 100 grams of the product. Also provided is a frozen confection or a beverage product for the enhancement of mood without transient elevation of blood pressure. | 07-01-2010 |
20120142963 | PROCESS FOR PRODUCING COCOA HUSK EXTRACT - A process for producing a cocoa husk extract containing gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is provided, the process comprising: a) extracting GABA and methylxanthines from cocoa husks with an aqueous medium thereby to form an aqueous solution containing GABA and methylxanthines; b) removing at least part of the methylxanthines from the aqueous solution with a solvent which is immiscible with water; and c) retaining the aqueous solution containing the GABA. A cocoa husk extract comprising GABA and methylxanthines wherein the ratio of GABA to methylxanthines is at least 1:20 and a food product containing such an extract are also provided. | 06-07-2012 |
