US Patent:

41777522, Dec 11, 1979

Filed:

Aug 24, 1978

Appl. No.:

5/936438

Inventors:

Alfred Brown - Houston TX
Brian L. Reynolds - Cookeville TN
Wilbur L. Hall - Bellaire TX

Assignee:

Texaco Inc. - White Plains NY

International Classification:

E21B 4324

US Classification:

166263

Abstract:

The vertical conformance of a steam drive process is improved and steam override reduced by penetrating the zone between one injector and one producer, with an infill well which is in fluid communication with the bottom half of the formation, and producing petroleum from the infill well after steam channeling has occurred at the production well. After the water cut of the fluids being produced from the infill well reaches 95 percent, the infill well is converted from a producer to an injector and hot water is injected into the lower portion of the formation via the infill well and fluids are produced from the production well. By this means, oil is recovered from the lower portions of the formation adjacent the production well. After water breakthrough occurs at the production well, steam is injected into the infill well and fluids are recovered from the production well. By this multi-step process involving the infill well, the amount of oil recovered from the portion of the formation in the recovery zone defined by the injection and production well is increased significantly.

Appl. No.:

17/686655

Inventors:

Brian Reynolds - Torrance CA, US

International Classification:

G02B 23/02
G02B 23/16

Abstract:

A compact, hand-held monocular device having excellent stability in view of its construction which allows the device to be held against the side of the head of the user. The device is of unitary construction, without assembly of multiple parts necessary, and can be manipulated between an active, in-use configuration which allows one-handed operation, and a storage configuration wherein the device folds flat, allows protection of the optics and storage in a small space such as a pocket or purse or hung on a neck lanyard.

Appl. No.:

17/132536

Inventors:

Brian REYNOLDS - Torrance CA, US

International Classification:

G02B 23/18

Abstract:

A binocular device that is wearable on the head of the user or wearer and does not require any hands to hold in place. The device has a pair of telescope sections that transmit an image to an eyepiece viewable by a wearer. Each eyepiece can be adjusted laterally to conform to the wearer's interpupillary distance; vertically, preferably vertically in an arc to provide a desired viewing angle; and longitudinally in relation to the wearer's eyes to a desired eye relief; the adjustments providing a custom-fit device.

Abstract:

A hands-free binocular device. A pair of eyeglasses has two temples. A telescopic section is mounted to each eyeglass temple. The hands-free binocular device includes lenses for magnifying images and light path redirecting devices for controlling the light path to the eyeglass lenses. Light from an image being observed flows through the magnifying lenses and is redirected by the light path redirecting device. The image is magnified and viewable by a user. The user can shift his gaze upward to view the magnified image or look down from the magnified image to view a non-magnified image. In one preferred embodiment the light path redirecting devices are prisms. In another preferred embodiment the light path redirecting devices are mirrors.
