20100300760 | ENHANCED SMEAR EFFECT FRACTURE PLUGGING PROCESS FOR DRILLING SYSTEMS - This invention relates to drilling a well, particularly an oil or gas well, where casing or liner will be installed to stabilize the wellbore. The present invention is intended to permit more drilling and longer lengths of casing or liner to be installed at one time. The present invention includes a combination of a smear tool and specially sized granular lost circulation material solids in the drilling mud which work together to close and seal leaking formations and fractures whether pre-existing or induced by drilling. By the natural collection of the inventive solids along with the conventional particles in the drilling mud to form a filter cake at the problem areas along the wall of the wellbore and the smear tool arranged to compress the filter cake into the problem areas, lost circulation is minimized. Maintaining circulation naturally allows for longer drilling cycles and potentially fewer liner joints in the well. As such, larger diameter boreholes are located in the hydrocarbon bearing formation and less time is spent installing casing or liner pipe. | 12-02-2010 |
20120325559 | CORE CAPTURE AND RECOVERY FROM UNCONSOLIDATED OR FRIABLE FORMATIONS AND METHODS OF USE - Methods and systems for enhanced capture and recovery of core samples from unconsolidated or friable formations are provided using drilling fluids that permit increased overpressures to preserve the ability to cut core samples and to strengthen the core samples obtained. Drilling fluids used during capture and recovery of core samples may comprise a solid particulate loss prevention material having a size range from about 150 microns to about 1,000 microns. The solid particulate loss prevention material prevents fracture initiation and propagation in the subterranean formation to allow the use of higher overpressures than would otherwise be possible. Thus, by circulating drilling fluid in the borehole while drilling a core sample, higher overpressures may be achieved, which have been found to be beneficial during core capture and recovery by maintaining core integrity and avoiding core loss. In this way, core sample integrity is improved, yielding more accurate representations of the subsurface. | 12-27-2012 |

20080222179 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SHARING AND REUSE OF STRUCTURED KNOWLEDGE ARTIFACTS - In areas that require repetitive data collection and entry, an efficient way to reuse data that is already available in the system is proposed. This technique involves the reuse of data artifact fields, validation and categorization of data artifacts, and computerized filling in of “inheritable” data into reports such as aircraft maintenance reports. | 09-11-2008 |

20080245340 | Combustion Seal - A combustion seal for a fuel injector assembly mountable within a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine is provided. The combustion seal is energized by combustion gases within a combustion chamber to effect sealing of an injector tip portion of the fuel injector assembly with respect to the cylinder head, thereby preventing the leakage or escape of combustion gases from the combustion chamber. A cylinder head assembly including the combustion seal is also disclosed. | 10-09-2008 |
20090065292 | Low Noise Fuel Injection Pump - A fuel pump assembly has a bushing defining a pumping chamber, a plunger, a cam follower piece, and a compliance device for absorbing noise by increasing either or both of a hydraulic and/or a mechanical compliance of the fuel pump assembly. The compliance device may includes a spring washer or a press-fit spring. The pump bushing and/or plunger may include a cavity as the compliance device for increasing dead volume, the cavity being in fluid communication with the pumping chamber via an orifice. A deflectable or movable mechanism is positioned within a cavity for increasing dead volume, and a solenoid varies a diameter of the orifice. The moveable mechanism includes a poppet valve having a switching pressure related to engine speed. A vehicle includes an engine, transmission, fuel rail, and a fuel pump assembly configured with at least one compliance device for absorbing a hydraulic noise component. | 03-12-2009 |
20090068041 | Low Back-Flow Pulsation Fuel Injection Pump - A fuel pump assembly includes a pump bushing defining a dual-chambered pumping cavity, a fluid channel for shuttling fuel between the chambers, a plunger, and a plurality of fluid control valves. A first check valve is a pressure relief valve in fluid communication with an outlet of the pump bushing and with either an inlet of a second check valve or an inlet of the pump bushing. Another check valve or a control orifice may be used in parallel with the second check valve, with the third check valve or control orifice being positioned at least partially external to the fuel pump assembly. A vehicle includes a transmission, engine, a returnless high-pressure fuel pump assembly, and a low-pressure fuel line in fluid communication with an inlet side of an inlet control valve. The high-pressure fuel pump assembly inhibits a pressure pulsation from propagating through the low-pressure fuel line. | 03-12-2009 |
20100101538 | Low Noise Fuel Pump With Variable Pressure Regulation - An engine assembly may include an engine structure defining a combustion chamber, a fuel injector in fluid communication with the combustion chamber, a fuel supply and a fuel pump assembly. The fuel pump assembly may include a housing, a reciprocating member, and a solenoid valve assembly. The housing may define an inlet in fluid communication with the fuel supply, an outlet in fluid communication with the fuel injector, and a bypass passage. The reciprocating member may be located within the housing to define a compression chamber in fluid communication with the inlet, the outlet, and the bypass passage. The solenoid valve assembly may include a valve member located within the bypass passage and displaceable between open and closed positions to selectively provide fluid communication between the compression chamber and the fuel supply during a compression stroke of the reciprocating member. | 04-29-2010 |

20160044301 | 3D MODELING OF IMAGED OBJECTS USING CAMERA POSITION AND POSE TO OBTAIN ACCURACY WITH REDUCED PROCESSING REQUIREMENTS - 3D Modeling System and Apparatus for mobile devices with limited processing capability is disclosed. This invention uses the standard camera and computing resources available on consumer mobile devices such as smart phones. A light projector (e.g. laser line generator) is attached as an accessory to the mobile device or built as a part of the mobile device. Processing requirements are significantly reduced by including a known object or reference template in the scene to be captured which is used to determine the pose and position of the camera relative to the object or scene to be modeled. The position and pose of the camera and projector is facilitated by image distortions of known dimensions of the reference template or known object in a sequence of captured images. The distortions also facilitates the proper registration between all images in the sequence. | 02-11-2016 |
