20110098930 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ESTIMATING GEOLOGICAL ARCHITECTURE OF A GEOLOGIC VOLUME - The geological architecture of a geologic volume of interest is estimated through the generation and/or selection of one or more numerical analog models of the geologic volume of interest that represent characteristics of the geologic volume of interest as a function of position within the geologic volume of interest. The estimation of geological architecture of the geologic volume of interest may be implemented in reservoir exploration and/or development. | 04-28-2011 |
20110098997 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MODELING A GEOLOGIC VOLUME OF INTEREST - A model of a geologic volume of interest that represents the geological architecture of the geologic volume of interest is generated. The model is generated as a series of geologic events at a string of points in geologic time such that each event is deposited or eroded sequentially. A given geologic event is determined based on the topological and/or geological properties of the geologic volume of interest at the time of the geologic event, environmental conditions present at the time of the geologic event that impact geologic formation, deposition, and/or erosion, and/or other considerations. The given geologic event is further determined to honor, at least somewhat, local conditioning data that has been obtained during direct measurements of the geological parameters (and/or trends therein) within the geologic volume of interest. | 04-28-2011 |

20090312995 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MODELING FLOW EVENTS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FORMATION OF A GEOLOGICAL RESERVOIR - A system configured to model geometric architectures of flow events in geological reservoirs. In one embodiment, the system comprises a geological control input, a rules module, and a modeling module. The geological control input is configured to receive a set of environmental conditions that act as geological controls impacting a geometric architecture of a geological reservoir at a point in geologic time. The rules module is configured to apply a set of rules to the set of environmental conditions present at the point in geologic time to determine geometric flow parameters of the geometric architecture, wherein the set of rules comprise one or more empirical rules. The modeling module is configured to model the geometric architecture based on the geometric flow parameters determined for the flow event by the rules module. | 12-17-2009 |

20080314688 | Internal combustion engine with provision for lubricating pistons - An internal combustion engine including a cylinder with bore and a piston disposed to reciprocate in the bore is operated by moving the piston in the bore between top and bottom dead center positions and applying lubricant to a portion of the piston that protrudes from the bore. Lubricant is wiped from the piston as the piston travels into the bore toward its top dead center position. | 12-25-2008 |
20090293820 | Two-cycle, opposed-piston internal combustion engine - In a two-cycle, opposed-piston internal combustion engine, opposed pistons disposed in a cylinder are coupled to a pair of side-mounted crankshafts by connecting rods that are subject to substantially tensile forces acting between the pistons and the crankshafts. This geometry reduces or eliminates side forces between the pistons and the bore of the cylinder. The cylinder and the pistons are independently cooled to reduce cylindrical deformation caused by thermal expansion during engine operation. | 12-03-2009 |
20100109343 | Generating electricity with a hypocyloidally driven, opposed piston, internal combustion engine - An electrical generator includes an opposed piston, internal-combustion engine with a piston and a hypocycloidal drive connected by a rod to the piston. The construction of the hypocycloidal drive imposes a sinusoidal period on the linear motion of the piston and connecting rod. As generator associated with the piston produces a sinusoidal voltage in response to the liner motion of the piston and connecting rod. | 05-06-2010 |
20100186723 | TWO-CYCLE, OPPOSED-PISTON INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - In a two-stroke, opposed-piston internal combustion engine with optimized cooling and no engine block, opposed pistons protrude from the bore during at least a portion of an operating cycle of the engine and are cooled by application of a liquid coolant to their interiors. | 07-29-2010 |
20120152185 | Two-cycle, opposed-piston internal combustion engine - In a two-cycle, opposed-piston internal combustion engine, opposed pistons disposed in a cylinder are coupled to a pair of side-mounted crankshafts by connecting rods that are subject to substantially tensile forces acting between the pistons and the crankshafts. This geometry reduces or eliminates side forces between the pistons and the bore of the cylinder. The cylinder and the pistons are independently cooled to reduce cylindrical deformation caused by thermal expansion during engine operation. | 06-21-2012 |

20110186005 | Rolling thrust bearing constructions - A piston rolling thrust bearing construction is constituted of a pair of bearing plates with opposing faces disposed in a spaced alignment with a rolling ball assembly positioned between the opposing faces to support relative movement between the bearing plates. The piston rolling thrust bearing is mounted to the open end of the skirt of a piston disposed in a cylinder to compensate for non-axial motion relative to the cylinder axis due to the articulating motions of connecting elements or any structural misalignments within an engine drive train assembly. | 08-04-2011 |
20110186017 | Single-crankshaft, opposed-piston engine constructions - Ported engines with opposed pistons are coupled to a single crankshaft through rocker arm linkages. Each pair of opposed pistons is coupled to a single crankpin of the crankshaft. Each piston is coupled to a respective rocker arm linkage by a rolling thrust bearing which prevents linkage movement that is transverse to the axis of the piston from being transferred to the piston. Each piston of a pair of opposed pistons is coupled to the same crankpin by respective rocker arm linkages in which connecting rods run between the crankpin and respective rocker arms. One connecting rod is connected to first rocker arm below the rocker arm's pivot point and another connecting rod is connected to a second rocker arm above the rocker arm's pivot point. | 08-04-2011 |
