20160083968 | Safety platform scaffold apparatus - A portable safety platform scaffold apparatus includes a plurality of wall-supportable units for being supported by the top portion of a wall. The wall support units each include a wall-top engagement portion, a common removable floor member, and a common removable fence. With the apparatus, a worker can stand on the floor members with the wall-top engagement portions secured on the top of the wall. In this way, the worker is in a safe location when a roof truss is lowered onto the wall. | 03-24-2016 |

20110191028 | MEASUREMENT DEVICES WITH MEMORY TAGS AND METHODS THEREOF - A downhole measurement device includes one or more sensors configured to measure a parameter in a well; a plurality of memory tags for storing measurement data from the one or more sensors; and an ejection module configured to release one of the plurality of memory tags upon a predetermined condition. A method for monitoring a well includes deploying of a measurement device having one or more sensors and a plurality of memory tags into a wellbore; obtaining measurement data of the parameter using the one or more sensors; writing the measurement data to one of the plurality of memory tags; releasing the memory tag having the measurement data; allowing the memory tag having the measurement data to be carried by a flow in the wellbore uphole; reading the measurement data from the memory tag having the measurement data at a location remote from the downhole measurement device. | 08-04-2011 |

20110000825 | CARBONACEOUS MATERIAL UPGRADING USING SUPERCRITICAL FLUIDS - Systems and methods for extracting, handling and upgrading carbonaceous material. The systems and methods involve forming a reaction mixture of a carbonaceous material, a supercritical fluid, a catalyst and a source of hydrogen, and maintaining the reaction mixture at moderate temperatures for modest time periods. Exemplary reaction temperatures are those below 200° C. Exemplary reaction times range from 30 minutes to less than 24 hours. | 01-06-2011 |
20110049016 | BITUMEN UPGRADING USING SUPERCRITICAL FLUIDS - The invention provides systems and methods for extracting and upgrading heavy hydrocarbons from substrates such as oil sands, oil shales, and tar sands in a unitary operation. The substrate bearing the hydrocarbon is brought into contact with a supercritical or near-supercritical fluid, a source of hydrogen such as hydrogen gas, and a catalyst. The materials are mixed and heated under elevated pressure. As a consequence of the elevated temperature and pressure, upgraded hydrocarbon-containing material is provided in a single or unitary operation. In some embodiments, sonication can be used to improve the upgrading process. Fluids suitable for use in the process include carbon dioxide, hexane, and water. It has been observed that upgrading can occur within periods of time of a few hours. | 03-03-2011 |
