20150033819 | TIE BAR TENSIONING SYSTEM - A tie bar tensioning system that allows a bending machine operator to removably couple an upper end of a bend die post of the bending machine to a base of the bending machine via a tie bar, and to lock the tie bar in a tensioned position. The tensioning system includes a stationary member and a rotatable member, each with aligned tie bar passages for receiving the one end of the tie bar. Both the stationary member and the rotatable member include respective engagement surfaces, with the rotatable member engagement surface being rotatable relative to the stationary member engagement surface between a released position and a tensioned position whereat the rotatable member is selectively lockable. The rotation of the rotatable member with the stationary engagement surface in engagement with the stationary engagement surface longitudinally displacing the rotatable member relative to the stationary member. | 02-05-2015 |

20120134682 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CLEARING AN OPTICAL CHANNEL - A method and apparatus for clearing an optical channel for transmitting data through free space between a first and second location includes a light beam, wherein the light beam has a spatially and/or time-dependent modulated intensity profile, and is substantially collimated so that the intensity profile is conserved over a specified distance of operation. The light beam includes a cross-sectional profile having regions of low and high intensity, portions of which are provided for the transmission of an optical data signal. A light source wavelength and intensity are selected for types of obscurant particles having optical properties whereby the radiation pressure acts on the particles, and the particles may then be either attracted into or repelled from portions of the spatially modulated optical beam, leaving certain portions of the optical channel beam absent of obscurant particles, thereby enabling transmission of optical data through the cleared optical channel with low attenuation. | 05-31-2012 |

20080262809 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MODELLING PETROLEUM MIGRATION - A method for modelling the migration of reactant in a subsurface petroleum system is described. The method comprises in part generating a mesh for an area of the petroleum system. The mesh comprises a plurality of nodes, with each node representing a point in space in the area. The method also comprises calculating one or more variables representing one or more physical characteristics at each node in the area and determining the migration of reactant in the petroleum system based on the one or more variables. The method can also handle multiple reactant phases and non-static meshes. | 10-23-2008 |

20150205001 | Basin-to-Reservoir Modeling - Systems and methods for basin to reservoir modeling to identify any hi-grade drilling targets based on the linking of static and dynamic reservoir rock and fluid properties. Static, present-day, reservoir and field scale description grids or unstructured meshes are transformed into dynamic (through time) simulation grids or unstructured meshes that can subsequently be used for input to dynamic calculators. Basin modeling may be performed at the reservoir scale, providing a link between present-day and the historical process that acted on the rocks and fluids. | 07-23-2015 |
