1362 results about "Coring" patented technology

Coring happens when a heated alloy, such as a Cu-Ni system, cools in non-equilibrium conditions. This causes the exterior of the material to solidify before the interior. Coring causes the centers of the grains to retain more of the higher melting temperature element. In this case, the dendrite arms formed from the exterior have a different composition than the alloy in the inner regions, resulting in a local compositional difference. Coring results in poor mechanical performance of the overall product.

Apparatus and method for connecting a conduit to a hollow organ

An apparatus and method for connecting a first conduit to the heart without the need for cardiopulmonary bypass. The first conduit may then be attached to a second conduit that has a prosthetic device interposed. The second conduit may be connected to the aorta prior to the first conduit being attached to the heart. The prosthetic device may be a prosthetic valve or a pump, for example. The apparatus of the present invention includes an implantable connector with first conduit component, a retractor expansion component, a coring component, and a pushing component. The retractor expansion component is slide-ably coupled to the coring component. The retractor expansion component serves to seat against and separate the inside apical wall of the left ventricle so that the coring component may cut cleanly through the myocardium to form a tissue plug without leaving any hanging attachments to the inside walls. By remaining seated against the inside wall, the retractor expansion component follows the tissue plug into the coring component. The surgeon applies force and rotary motion to the pushing component sufficient to cut the tissue plug and implant the prosthetic component.

Coring bit

A coring bit provides easy core removal by utilizing a series of lateral blades which extend from the top cutting surface to the base of the bit. The lateral blades and inner faces of the coring bit are biased to provide a conical shape to the core thus permitting the core to be easily extracted. Vents positioned approximate the lateral blades allow chips, debris and waste to be quickly dispelled. Various types of small center drill bits aid in the initial coring stages.

Method and apparatus for tissue morcellation

The invention relates to a tissue morcellator for minimally invasive surgery. The morcellator has a metallic cutting ring mounted on a visually transparent hollow cylinder, which in combination with a visually transparent outer morcellator tube enables a surgeon to visualize the inside of the morcellator shaft for detection of loose tissue fragments in the device. A tenaculum used with the morcellation device has a spacer for preventing contact with the blade. The cutting tube can oscillate, rather than rotate, along the longitudinal axis of the cutting tube. The morcellator utilizes an extendable tissue guide on the outer tube of the morcellator shaft for preventing the tissue from rotating along the longitudinal axis of the morcellator tube. This allows the tissue to be continuously rotated into the morcellator device for continuous peel. The tissue guide can also be fully retracted to allow for coring of the bulk tissue.

Apparatus for recovering core samples under pressure

A pressure and temperature core sampler comprises a tool for recovering cores specifically enabling the evaluation of methane hydrate resources. Because methane hydrate tends to decompose under conditions of pressure decrease and / or temperature increase as the samples are retrieved to the surfaces a coring tool in accordance with the present invention provides a self-contained system for retrieving core samples at or near in situ pressure while cooling the core sample. The coring tool is preferably a wire line retrievable device that provides for nearly continuous coring during the drilling operation.

Hole bottom freezing cord coring drill and coring method thereof

The invention relates to a hole bottom freezing cord coring drill and a coring method thereof. In the invention, liquid nitrogen is taken as a refrigerant; the liquid nitrogen absorbs heat in the gasification process so as to freeze a core at a hole bottom and inhibit a natural gas hydrate from being decomposed. The drill comprises an outer tube assembly and an inner tube assembly; and in the process of acquiring the core, a sand hitch is utilized to drag the inner tube assembly out from the outer tube assembly, an end cover and a clamp spring are dismounted, a semi-closed tube and a core sample are pumped out together from a core tube, the two ends of the semi-closed tube are sealed by rubber plugs, and the core sample and the semi-closed tube are stored in a liquid nitrogen hold-up vessel or a high-pressure container together. The invention has the advantages that rapid freezing can be realized, and the freezing effect is good; since cord coring and hole bottom freezing are combined, rapid coring without lifting the drill is achieved; in the drilling process, the inner tube assembly does not rotate, thus damages on a hydras core caused by mechanical force generated by rotation of the drill is avoided to a greater degree, the percentage of coring, the core integrity degree and the representativeness are more effectively improved; and semi-closed tube type rapid ground surfacesampling is adopted, thus the core can be rapidly obtained from the ground surface.

Method to detect coring point from resistivity measurements

InactiveUS20100000792A1Minimizing coringSurveyDirectional drillingWell drillingCoring
Methods are described using resistivity ahead of a drill bit measurements obtained while drilling a subterranean well using a drilling mud. Resistivity data ahead of the bit is gathered during drilling and prior to penetrating a region of interest of a target subterranean formation using the drill bit and the drilling mud. The drill string progresses at target dip and azimuth angles toward the region on interest. The resistivity data is used to determine the top of the region of interest while the drill bit advances toward but does not penetrate the region. A core bit is then installed and a whole core of the region of interest obtained. Resistivity ahead of a drill bit measurements obtained while drilling a subterranean well may also be compared with conventional resistivity measurements obtained from one or more offset wells.
