20140202710 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRESSURE-ACTUATED TOOL CONNECTION AND DISCONNECTION - A method is presented for connecting and disconnecting sections of a work string for use in a subterranean wellbore. A preferred method of disconnecting includes the steps of positioning a stinger and a downhole tool assembly of a work string adjacent upper and lower sealing rams, such as in a BOP and lubricator assembly. The sealing rams are closed, defining a first and second pressure zone adjacent the tool. A differential pressure is applied across the pressure zones, moving a piston element in the tool assembly. Axial movement of the piston element causes relative rotational movement of cooperating locking elements. In one embodiment, the locking elements are rotated to an unlocked position and then move relative to one another axially in response to a biasing spring. The relative axial movement of the locking elements results in unlatching of a latching assembly, thereby disconnecting the tool and stinger. | 07-24-2014 |

20100189606 | Elemental Separation Process - The purpose of this system is to separate components of a molecule from the larger molecule or separate a molecule into smaller pieces. This system uses the shearing and/or breaking of molecular bonds using pressure waves, sudden pressure differentials, rotary movements, high velocity collisions to separate the molecule, or any combination of these methods. The system uses high voltage through no voltage to facilitate the separated or broken particles to remain in a separated state. For simplification purposes in the patent the drawings will show the separation of hydrogen from water molecules rather than to refer to all combinations; however, this patent refers in general to the separation of molecules/atoms of any size, shape, or configuration into a baser unit, separation of molecular components, or for distillation purposes. The process combinations described below can be used in any industry and for any reason without limitation. The devices mentioned in this application can be made of any material which supports the strains, stresses and pressures under which they are exerted with the understanding that all materials are subject to possible wear and deformations. Materials used for the process may be homogeneous; however, in most applications a variety of materials and combinations of materials will be used for components. The materials may undergo material tempering or they may not. For this process all levels of tempering and material strengthening are assumed included herein. | 07-29-2010 |
