20150068727 | Subterranean Tool for Release of Balls Adjacent Their Intended Destinations - A subterranean tool can drop multiple objects to landing locations in a tubular string. The tool can keep at least one ball out of the fluid stream until ready for release. A dart or wiper plug can be kept in the fluid stream with an open bypass until axial mandrel movement allows release of the plug or dart. The tool is rotationally locked at a lower location for run in and then can rotationally lock at an upper location upon release of the dart or ball shifting relative rotation capabilities to different members. Axial movement that releases the dart also aligns a ball with a decreasing depth groove so that relative part rotation can cam the ball against a leaf spring detent and into the mandrel flow path. | 03-12-2015 |

The tool can keep at least one ball out of the fluid stream until ready for release. A dart or wiper plug can be kept in the fluid stream with an open bypass until axial mandrel movement allows release of the plug or dart. The tool is rotationally locked at a lower location for run in and then can rotationally lock at an upper location upon release of the dart or ball. Axial movement that releases the dart can continue until the ball aligns with a decreasing depth groove so that relative part rotation cams the ball against a leaf spring detent and into the mandrel flow path. | 03-12-2015 |
20150176367 | Top Down Liner Cementing, Rotation and Release Method - A top down cementing tool operates with either mechanical manipulation or hydraulically. Rotation of the liner during cementing is enabled. A first bore is open for circulation during running in of the liner. In the hydraulic version, pressuring up on a dropped ball in the first bore opens cement packer setting ports and aligns crossover ports from the first bore to the annulus below the cementing packer and displaced fluid return ports to the annulus above the cementing packer. Pressuring up on a trailing wiper plug in the first bore opens the second bore so that pressuring on a seated ball in the second bore opens access to unsetting the cementing packer and launching the ball in the second bore for liner hanger setting and release of the running tool. The alternative embodiment gets the same result but with string manipulation for some of the realignments. | 06-25-2015 |

20140302255 | SCALABLE PROCESSING OF NANOCOMPOSITES USING PHOTON-BASED METHODS - Using a modified CVD infusion process and femtosecond laser irradiation, the methods of the present invention demonstrate the ability to create core-shell nanoparticles of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles embedded within the bulk of an optically transparent substrate. Changes in the optical properties and changes in the structure, size, and shape of the nanoparticles were observed as a result of the methods. It was also observed that core-shell nanoparticles made using the inventive methods preferentially nucleated in the near surface region of the substrate, indicating a precursor-diffusion-dependent process for the nucleation growth of core-shell nanoparticles. With the use of optical masks and multiple precursor chemicals, the inventive methods make it possible to create nanoparticles or core-shell nanoparticles with drastically different compositions in close proximity to each other. Since the mechanism for precursor decomposition is limited to the surface of the nanoparticles within the substrate, it is possible to control the chemistry, size, and shape of nanoparticles within an optically transparent substrate on a nanoscale. | 10-09-2014 |
