This is a continuation-in-part of copending application Ser. No. 904,905, filed Sept. 8, 1986, now abandoned.
The present invention relates to a gypsum-based pesticide product and a method of manufacturing such product and is particularly concerned with such a product and method in which the amount of water used in the manufacturing process, and therefore present in the finished product, is no greater than the minimum amount required to completely set plaster of Paris into gypsum.
Another purpose is a method of manufacturing a gypsum-based pesticide product in which the time required to mix the pesticide, water and plaster of Paris is only a fraction of the setting time of the mixture, thereby permitting the mixture to be subsequently formed into pellets or briquets of various sizes and shapes.
Another purpose is a method of the type described in which plaster of Paris, water and a pesticide, with the water amount being no greater than the minimum amount required to completely set the plaster of Paris into gypsum, is intimately mixed by a rotating mixing means within a chamber and in which the mixing time is no greater than about five seconds.
Another purpose is a method of manufacturing a gypsum-based pesticide useful in destroying mosquito larvae in which different pesticides may be used and in which the product may be manufactured in a variety of sizes.
Another purpose is a product of the type described which has a long release time and which is of a size to efficiently seed a mosquito breeding area, for example by helicopter.
Another purpose is a method of manufacturing a gypsum-based pesticide as described in which, because of the short time required for mixing, there is the opportunity for substantial recycling of unusable and unset screenings.
Other purposes will appear in the ensuing specification and claims.
The present invention relates to a gypsum-based pesticide and in particular to such a product which is useful in destroying mosquito larvae. Although the invention will be described in connection with pesticides particularly known for killing mosquito larvae, the product may, with the use of different pesticides or herbicides, be useful in destroying other types of pests and both terrestrial and aquatic weeds. The invention may also be useful as a carrier for insect repellents.
Considering the application to destroy mosquito larvae, the eggs which will ultimately become mosquitos are normally laid on dry land adjacent a wet or marshy area. The eggs do not become mosquito larvae until they are in water and may in fact remain in the egg state for as long as eight years if the eggs are not hatched by being covered with water. Once water reaches the eggs, there is a period of approximately 5-15 days during which the mosquito larvae will be transformed through several stages until ultimately becoming mosquitos.
The time to destroy mosquitos is when they are in the larval stage. For this purpose it has been common to spray or seed an area known to be productive of mosquito larvae with some form of liquid or solid product which will release an insecticide over a period of time. However, because of the relatively short incubation period, 5-15 days, it is not always possible to completely cover a large mosquito breeding area during the time when the larvae are hatching. For this reason, the various municipalities which are concerned with destroying mosquito larvae have long sought a product which is of a size to efficiently seed an area by helicopter and which will have a long release time.
The principal factor in determining the release time of pesticides which are in solid form is the size of the product and the manner in which the pesticide is embodied into its carrier. The larger products, for example briquets of the 50 gram size, of necessity must be placed in a mosquito breeding area by hand. Whereas, smaller products, for example those in the 2 gram category, or 0.1 gram and less, may be applied by helicopter, substantially reducing the time and cost in seeding a mosquito breeding area. However, prior products which were of a size to be distributed by helicopter did not utilize a carrier which would provide a long release time.
For example, in the past the insecticide temephos, known by the trademark ABATE and manufactured by American Cyanamid, was sprayed on sand or clay particles and then this material was spread over a mosquito breeding area. Such products have a life of 24-48 hours, which requires not only more timely application, but subsequent applications, to completely destroy mosquito larvae.
Although briquet-size insecticide products, for example 50 grams, are useful in seeding a mosquito breeding area, the difficulties and expense in distributing such product limit the utility of the product since it must be done by a person walking through an area who carefully places an appropriate amount of such product. It is necessary that the amount of the product which is applied to an area not only be sufficient to destroy the mosquito larvae, but that it also be carefully controlled lest the amount of pesticide be greater than that approved by EPA standards. A far more practical method for distribution of mosquito larvae destroying products is by helicopter or by a power backpack blower or venturi tubes attached to a roots-type blower. In the past it has not been possible to manufacture products of a size which could be distributed by such methods and yet have a release time which would be acceptable.
A practical material for the carrier of an insecticide or pesticide is plaster of Paris which forms a gypsum-type product. The pesticide is intimately bonded with the plaster of Paris and is basically released when water dissolves the solid gypsum, thus slowing release time. Gypsum-based insecticides have been known; for example, the product known as ALTOSID made by Zoecon Corporation of Dallas, Tex., uses the insecticide methoprene. However, the size of this product, approximately six grams, has not made it practical for helicopter or power backpack distribution.
Normal plaster of Paris utilizes a large amount of water to form a slurry. Although such a slurry may be practical to form briquet-size product weighing approximately six grams, trying to pour a plaster of Paris slurry into molds to form small molded pellets would result in a time consuming, labor intensive, impractical molding operation further complicated by a short setting time and excess water in the finished product.
The present invention provides a method of manufacturing a gypsum-based pesticide which permits products as small as 0.1 gram and which provides a means for the intimate mixing of the product ingredients in only a fraction of the time required for the mixture to set. The release time is largely determined by the size of the product. The particular pesticide may vary and two known pesticides which are satisfactory are methoprene and temephos manufactured by Zoecon and American Cyanamid, respectively.
Considering specifically a product using the pesticide methoprene, the pesticide in an amount, by weight, of approximately 4.5-5% is mixed with no greater than 20% water, with the balance being plaster of Paris. More specifically, the methoprene may be included in the mixture in the form of a methoprene premix which consists of carbon and methoprene. The carbon not only functions to some degree as a carrier for the methoprene, but principally functions as a sun block to prevent biodegradation of the methoprene. The composition as described is intimately mixed in a mixing device known as a turbolizer, for example of the type used in the mixing of foundry sands and manufactured by Material Processing Corp. of Elmhurst, Ill. Such a device has a chamber in which the water, pesticide and plaster of Paris are introduced and within the chamber is a series of rotating blades which rotate at an extremely high speed and will intimately mix the described mixture in no more than 3-5 seconds.
The mixture described, after going through the turbolizer, can either go to a pellet mill of the type manufactured by CPM Corporation of San Francisco, Calif., which will provide pellets of approximately 0.1 gram up to 2 grams, or the mixture is supplied to a briquet-making machine which can provide briquets in 6 gram and 22 gram sizes.
Because the mixture leaving the turbolizer has a short setting time and there is the consequent possibility that the material may partially harden during transit time to the pellet mill, it is necesary to air blast the wet powder from the turbolizer into the pellet mill dies. It is preferred to use air pressure in the range of 40-60 psi and an air curtain transvector of the type made by Vortec of Cincinnati, Ohio. Movement of the blended wet powder by air, in effect forming an air slide, prevents the wet powder from adherinq to metal surfaces in the pellet mill feed tube and creating a buildup of material which eventually blocks the feed tube entrance.
The mixture described has a short setting time, for example ten minutes, because the amount of water used is the minimum required to completely set the plaster of Paris into gypsum. The amount of water required is 18.6% of the weight of the plaster of Paris and, thus, normally the maximum water used in the process described herein will be no more than 20%. With such an amount of water the setting time is short, but since only a fraction of the setting time has been used in the mixing stage, no more than five seconds, there is adequate time for the mixture to pass through either a pellet mill or a briquet-making machine.
The product coming from either the pellet mill or the briquet making machine, which will have the composition described, will then be applied to a tumbling or vibrating screen in which undersized products are screened out and in which the webbing normally attendant to product formation will be knocked off the pellets or briquets. The pellets are moved from the pellet mill to the screen on a corrugated belt and during such movement, of approximately two minutes' duration, air is drawn over the pellets to cool them with the same cooling air preferably being applied to the pellets as they are screened. In this way, pellet temperatures are dropped from 165� F. to 110� F. in approximately three minutes. This prevents heat degradation of the incorporated insecticides. The screening step thus not only sizes the product, but permits the product to cool and to reduce the free moisture unnecessary for bonding.
Any fines from the screening process may be sent back to the mixing chamber for recycling. A large mesh screen is essential at the oversize/undersize outlet to the recycling return because accumulated residue which breaks off from the sizing screens may be sufficiently large in size that if passed through the recycling step would subsequently jam the pellet mill with consequent damage to it. However, the important point in terms of the screening process is not only to size the product, but to permit adequate drying and cooling time. Recycling is economically important in making the maximum use of the ingredients and is possible because of the short mixing and forming cycle.
In addition to methoprene-based pesticide pellets or briquets, the pesticide temephos may be similarly used. A mixture consisting of about 5% temephos, no more than 20% water, with the balance plaster of Paris, can also be utilized in the described process. A temephos insecticide as commercially available is in the form of an emulsifiable concentrate. In the case of temephos, it is not necessary to have a sun blocking ingredient in this particuar formulation.
In addition to the products described, which are formed into their final product size and shape by either a pellet mill or a briquet making machine, the turbolizer may be modified by removing some of the rotating blades therein and utilizing fingers, whereby the product resulting from the mixing process will not be a mixture which is then sent on to a pellet mill or other type of product forming machine, but rather is in the form of granules, substantially, but not completely, hardened and having a size no greater than about 0.1 gram. Such products themselves are useful in destroying mosquito larvae and do not require the subsequent forming step, but do require screening. Thus, the turbolizer itself may be the last stage in product formation when it is modified to provide semi-hardened granules at its output.
The use of gypsum as a carrier for a pesticide is particularly advantageous in that it has a pH of 7, meaning that it is neutral and thus, being neither an acid nor a base, will have no chemical effect on the pesticide.
Of particular importance in the invention is the use of no more water than the minimum required to set the mixture. This insures a product which can be economically manufactured in that there is no requirement for a long drying period for the product to reach a solid state and to reach its minimum final dried weight. Since a minimum amount of water very substantially reduces the setting time of plaster of Paris, it is necessary to provide a method of intimately mixing a pesticide, water and plaster of Paris in a very short period of time, preferably only a fraction of the setting time. This is done by the rotating turbolizer described herein. The mixing is complete in a period of time which provides adequate remaining time for final formation of the product.
Whereas the preferred form of the invention has been shown and described herein, it should be realized that there may be many modifications, substitutions and alterations thereto.

The present invention relates to a plunger lift apparatus for the lifting of formation liquids in a hydrocarbon well. More specifically the plunger comprises an upper bypass mandrel, an internal shock absorber plunger section and a lower bypass valve. The shock absorbing bypass plunger operates to absorb shock during plunger falls to a well bottom, and high velocity rises to the well top, while providing for a bypass function during plunger travel.
A plunger lift is an apparatus that is used to increase the productivity of oil and gas wells. In the early stages of a well's life, liquid loading is usually not a problem. When rates are high, the well liquids are carried out of the well tubing by the high velocity gas. As a well declines, a critical velocity is reached below which the heavier liquids do not make it to the surface and start to fall back to the bottom exerting back pressure on the formation, thus loading up the well. A plunger system is a method of unloading gas in high ratio oil wells without interrupting production. In operation, the plunger travels to the bottom of the well where the loading fluid is picked up by the plunger and is brought to the surface removing all liquids in the tubing. The plunger also keeps the tubing free of paraffin, salt or scale build-up. A plunger lift system works by cycling a well open and closed. During the open time a plunger interfaces between a liquid slug and gas. The gas below the plunger will push the plunger and liquid to the surface. This removal of the liquid from the tubing bore allows an additional volume of gas to flow from a producing well. A plunger lift requires sufficient gas presence within the well to be functional in driving the system. Oil wells making no gas are thus not plunger lift candidates.
As flow rate and pressures decline in a well, lifting efficiency can decline. Before long the well could begin to "load up". This is a condition whereby the gas being produced by the formation can no longer carry the liquid being produced to the surface. There are two reasons this occurs. First, as liquid comes in contact with the wall of the production string of tubing, friction occurs. The velocity of the liquid is slowed, and some of the liquid adheres to the tubing wall, creating a film of liquid on the tubing wall.
This liquid may not reach the surface. Secondly, as the flow velocity continues to slow, the gas phase may no longer support liquid in either slug form or droplet form. This liquid, along with the liquid film on the sides of the tubing, may fall back to the bottom of the well. In a very aggravated situation, there could be liquid in the bottom of the well with only a small amount of gas being produced at the surface. The produced gas must bubble through the liquid at the bottom of the well and then flow to the surface. Because of the low velocity very little liquid, if any, may be carried to the surface by the gas. A plunger lift will act to remove the accumulated liquid, thereby improving lifting efficiency.
A typical installation plunger lift system 100 can be seen in
Surface control equipment usually consists of motor valve(s) 14, sensors 6, pressure recorders 16, etc., and an electronic controller 15 which opens and closes the well at the surface. Well flow 'F'proceeds downstream when surface controller 15 opens well head flow valves. Controllers operate on time, or pressure, to open or close the surface valves based on operator-determined requirements for production. Modem electronic controllers incorporate features that are user friendly, easy to program, addressing the shortcomings of mechanical controllers and early electronic controllers. Additional features include: battery life extension through solar panel recharging, computer memory program retention in the event of battery failure and built-in lightning protection. For complex operating conditions, controllers can be purchased that have multiple valve capability to fully automate the production process.
A. Plunger mandrel 20 is shown with solid ring 22 sidewall geometry. Solid sidewall rings 22 can be made of various materials such as steel, poly materials, Teflon�, stainless steel, etc. Inner cut grooves 30 allow sidewall debris to accumulate when a plunger is rising or falling.
B. Mandrel 80 is shown with shifting ring 81 sidewall geometry. Shifting rings 81 allow for continuous contact against the tubing to produce an effective seal with wiping action to ensure that all scale, salt or paraffin is removed from the tubing wall. Shifting rings 81 are individually separated at each upper surface and lower surface by air gap 82.
C. Plunger mandrel 60 has spring-loaded interlocking pads 61 in one or more sections. Interlocking pads 61 expand and contract to compensate for any irregularities in the tubing, thus creating a tight friction seal.
D. Plunger mandrel 70 incorporates a spiral-wound, flexible nylon brush 71 surface to create a seal and allow the plunger to travel despite the presence of sand, coal fines, tubing irregularities, etc.
E. Flexible plungers (not shown) are flexible for coiled tubing and directional holes, and can be used as well in straight standard tubing.
Recent practices toward slim-hole wells that utilize coiled tubing also lend themselves to plunger systems. Because of the small tubing diameters, a relatively small amount of liquid may cause a well to load-up, or a relatively small amount of paraffin may plug the tubing.
Plungers use the volume of gas stored in the casing and the formation during the shut-in time to push the liquid load and plunger to the surface when the motor valve opens the well to the sales line or to the atmosphere. To operate a plunger installation, only the pressure and gas volume in the tubing/casing annulus is usually considered as the source of energy for bringing the liquid load and plunger to the surface.
The major forces acting on the cross-sectional area of the bottom of the plunger are:
In an ideal plunger lift application, a plunger should travel quickly to a well bottom. When a plunger falls slowly to the bottom of a well, well efficiency is not maximized. Fluid build up can hamper the plunger's descent during the return trip to the bumper spring located at the well bottom. Thus, wells with a high fluid level tend to lower well production by delaying the cycle time of the plunger system, specifically delaying the plunger return trip to the well bottom. In other words, plunger fall time can affect well production. Use of bypass plungers with bypass valves permit the fluid to flow through the plunger during the return trip to the bumper spring located at the well bottom. In an open mode, the bypass feature allows a faster plunger travel time through fluid and down the hole in high liquid wells. Bypass plungers can have a variety of orifice openings or can have a variable orifice. The bypass valve provides a shut off feature when the plunger reaches the bottom.
In certain wells, or if an operator or controllers release a plunger prematurely, a plunger could fall towards the well bottom at a relatively high velocity. As the plunger collides with the well bottom, the well seating nipple/tubing stop 12, and/or the spring standing valve/bottom hole bumper assembly 11, the impact force is absorbed in part by the plunger, the spring standing valve/bottom hole bumper assembly 11, the well seating nipple/tubing stop 12 and the well bottom (
The present apparatus provides a plunger lift system having a bypass feature that can allow for a shorter plunger fall time. Because the increased speed of travel typically results in a greater likelihood of impact, a greater impact force, and potential damage, the present apparatus incorporates a system for absorbing the resulting shock. In addition, the rate of the plunger's speed can be adjusted though the use of either fixed or variable orifice valves.
The present apparatus provides a plunger lift system with a more reliable shock absorber. With more reliability, wells could be constructed with or without bumper spring assemblies, which typically operate to slow a plunger's travel. In well applications which do not utilize bumper spring assemblies, fewer obstructions or restrictions are encountered by a plunger at the well bottom. In these cases, plunger travel can be more optimal and plunger damage can be reduced or minimized.
By utilizing an internal placement of the shock absorbing components, plunger structure has less effect on the physical restrictions of a well bottom and any equipment housed therein. The present apparatus can be used if a reduction of well top damage (as in the case of high velocity plunger rise) and a reduction of well bottom damage (as in the case of high velocity plunger fall), is desired. In addition, the components of the present apparatus are easy to manufacture and easy to assemble.
The main aspect of the present invention is to provide an internal shock absorber bypass plunger apparatus in a high liquid well when plunger falling velocity produces a large impact force at the well bottom.
Another aspect of the present invention is to provide an internal shock absorber bypass plunger apparatus that will protect the well top apparatus and the bypass plunger when a high velocity plunger rise occurs.
Another aspect of the present invention is to provide a spring within the bypass plunger to function as the shock absorbing body.
Another aspect of the present invention is to allow for fewer restrictions on a well bottom.
Another aspect of the present invention is to provide an internal shock absorber bypass plunger that will increase reliability levels.
Another aspect of the present invention is to provide an internal shock absorber bypass plunger that will efficiently force fall inside the tubing to the well-hole bottom with increased speed without impeding plunger or well bottom damage.
Another aspect of the present invention is to provide an internal shock absorber bypass plunger that can be used with any existing plunger sidewall geometry.
Another aspect of the present invention is to provide an internal shock absorber bypass plunger apparatus that will function with either a fixed or with a variable bypass orifice(s).
Another aspect of the present invention is to allow for an internal shock absorber bypass plunger that will shut off once the plunger reaches the well bottom in order to provide for proper plunger return during lift to the well top.
Yet another aspect of the present invention is to allow for the internal shock absorber bypass plunger to have a bypass valve to be re-opened to its preset condition once the plunger reaches the well top.
Another aspect of the present invention is to allow for an internal shock absorber plunger that can be easily manufactured.
Other aspects of this invention will appear from the following description and appended claims, reference being made to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification wherein like reference characters designate corresponding parts in the several views.
The present invention provides efficient drop and lift in a high liquid well due to its design. The present invention comprises a bypass plunger apparatus having an internal shock absorber, whereby plunger life, as well as life of components found at a well top and a well bottom, can be extended. Although the internal shock absorber element can comprise a wave spring, a die coil spring, or an elastomer-type spring (i.e. Viton�, etc.), which can offer excellent resistance to aggressive fuels and chemicals, other shock absorbing mechanisms can be used. An actuator rod within the plunger hits the bottom of the well, shuts off the bypass function, and compresses the internal shock absorber element, which absorbs all or part of the impact shock.
The present invention comprises a plunger lift apparatus consisting of an upper mandrel, or cylindrical body, with an internal orifice allowing for liquid bypass. The upper mandrel section can comprise an internal standard American Petroleum Institute (API) fishing neck design, or other designs, and an outer wall allowing for various aforementioned sidewall geometries. Attached to the upper mandrel section is a captive actuator assembly having an internal orifice and a shock absorbing element. Attachable to the other end of the captive actuator assembly is a bypass valve (fixed or variable). When open (falling down the well), fluid flows up through the bypass valve and up through the captive actuator assembly and mandrel. If the bypass valve has a variable orifice, the plunger orifice can be set and/or adjusted to optimize the travel time to the well bottom, thus optimizing the production efficiency of the well. In addition, the well's control system can release the shock absorbing bypass plunger to fall back into the well when conditions are satisfied. Once at the well bottom, the bypass valve of the shock absorber bypass plunger shuts off when the apparatus strikes the bumper spring resulting in an absorption of all or part of the impact energy. Upon the plunger's travel to the well top, the extracting rod within the lubricator will cause the bypass valve to re-open at its predetermined set condition(s).
The present apparatus also contemplates a dual internal shock absorber plunger having two internal shock absorber elements.
Before explaining the disclosed embodiments of the present invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of the particular arrangements shown, since the invention is capable of other embodiments. Also, the terminology used herein is for the purpose of description and not of limitation.
The drawings depict an internal shock absorber bypass plunger apparatus that can improve productivity levels in high liquid wells when plunger falling velocity produces a large impact force at the well bottom. The present apparatus can be used in well applications with or without a bumper spring. As stated above, high velocity lift will occur in low liquid wells, as well as instances when an operator will cycle the plunger prior to liquid loading. The present invention can also protect the plunger and the apparatus at the well top in the case of a high velocity lift.
Generally the disclosed apparatus comprises a mandrel (cylindrical body) section, a captive actuator assembly housing a shock absorbing element (shock absorbing assembly), a bypass valve assembly section having an actuator rod and functioning to open or close an inlet to an internal conduit within the plunger, thus allowing fluid to pass through the plunger when falling (open position) and not allowing fluid to pass through the plunger when rising (closed position), and wherein a falling or a rising of the plunger results in the plunger hitting a well stop causing the shock absorbing assembly to absorb a portion of an impact force created by the plunger striking the stop.
Captive nut 78 connects captive actuator 72 to solid wall bypass mandrel 20. Although other attachment means could be used, here captive actuator 72 is threaded into variable orifice valve (VOV) casing 40 by means of threads 44 (see
As shown in
When released from the system's auto catcher, the orifice of VOV assembly 200 will function to allow liquid to pass through the lower section of VOV assembly 200 and up through hollowed out core of assembly 700 in direction R and within the mandrel's internal conduit during the plunger's travel to the well bottom. VOV assembly 200 can be set to optimize a travel time (or fall time) for internal shock absorber bypass plunger 2000, thus optimizing the production efficiency of the well. At the well bottom, VOV assembly 200 is designed to strike a bumper spring. Actuator rod 25 will move upward in direction P and shut off the bypass feature of the apparatus. Internal shock absorber bypass plunger 2000 will absorb a portion of the impact shock. Upon its travel to the well top, the system's extracting rod 4A (which may be spring loaded) within lubricator assembly 10 will strike actuator rod 25, move it in direction C, thereby causing it to re-open at its predetermined set condition.
VOV assembly 200 comprises VOV body cylinder 40, actuator rod brake clutch 21, VOV bottom cap 24 with external threaded area 24A to mate with VOV body cylinder internal threaded lower body end 20A, actuator rod 25, and variable control cylinder 26. Body cylinder 40 comprises adjustment slot 29 for orifice adjustment access. Adjustment slot 29 provides tool 38 with access to control cylinder adjustment hole 32. In this embodiment, four VOV body cylinder orifices 43 are spaced at about 90� apart. An internal threaded lower body end 20A may accept VOV bottom cap 24. Internal wall 3 (see also
Actuator rod brake clutch 21 comprises two half cylinders 23 each comprising annular grooves to contain annular actuator rod brake clutch springs 42. Brake clutch 21 functions to contain push rod 25 in either its open or closed position, thus allowing or stopping liquid from entering the internal conduit of the mandrel. As indicated above, VOV bottom cap 24 comprises external threaded area 24A to mate with VOV body cylinder internal threaded lower body end 20A.
Actuator rod 25 comprises bottom bumper striker end 34 functioning to move actuator rod 25 into a closed position once internal shock absorber bypass plunger 2000 hits the well bottom. Rod 25 further comprises actuator rod closure end 37 with outer closure ring 35 and rod slant surface 36 functioning to both close against actuator housing 72 in its closed position at the well bottom and also to move to an open position when shock absorber bypass plunger 2000 lifts to the well top. Extracting rod 4A within lubricator assembly 10 will strike against actuator rod 25 top end 37 to move actuator rod 25 into its open position thus engaging the bypass function and allowing liquids to flow to the internal conduit of the mandrel via the preset and adjustable orifice settings during plunger movement back to the well bottom. Variable control cylinder 26 comprises external adjustment hole 32 and four control cylinder orifices 31 which are spaced apart by about 90�. In one embodiment, variable control cylinder top surface 46 has nine position control grooves 33 located in groups of three, each group being about 120� apart and each groove within a group at being about 20� apart. Control grooves 33 mate with balls 28 three at a time within each group 120� spacing and 20� internal group hole spacing, whereby three preset through orifice positions are provided for each of the four through orifices. Thus, the VOV assembly 200 can be set at, for example, one-third open, two thirds open or full open. The total opening, or through orifice, is a function of the position of the control cylinder orifices 31 with respect to the VOV body cylinder orifices 43.
In the embodiment described, control cylinder orifices 31 align with VOV main body cylinder orifices 43 when VOV assembly 200 is assembled such that the total through orifice will be about 33%, about 67%, or about 100% depending on the positioning of variable control cylinder 26. Adjustment slot 29 provides access for external tool 38 to reach hole 32 so variable control cylinder 26 can be adjusted in direction TR or direction TL. VOV assembly 200 is geometrically designed to have a fluid/gas dynamic type shape to allow it to quickly pass to the well bottom while allowing fluids to enter its orifice and pass through the top bored out (hollowed) section of internal shock absorber bypass plunger 2000. Thus the plunger will return to the bottom with an efficient speed until it comes to rest on the bottom sitting or on a bumper spring, which will strike its actuator rod and close its bypass function.
Captive actuator assembly 700 operates as the shock absorbing assembly and mates with solid bypass mandrel 20, which is a cylindrical body. To assemble the disclosed apparatus, shock absorber element 76 can be mounted on solid bypass mandrel 20. Although a wave spring is shown, a coil spring or an elastomeric body, such as one comprising Viton�, could be used. Captive actuator 72 can be slid through captive nut 78, exposing captive actuator mid-threads 83A. Via seal nut threads 83B, seal nut (stop nut) 74 can mate with captive actuator mid-threads 83A. Captive nut 78 can be fastened to solid bypass mandrel via captive nut threads 19B and solid mandrel threads 19A. Mandrel internal sidewall 62 and internal ledge 64 will contain seal nut 74 and shock absorber element 76 with captive actuator cylindrical end sidewall 84. Captive actuator cylindrical end sidewall 84, mid-sidewall 86, and thread surface 83A with seal nut 74 attached move into shock absorber element 76 upon impact at either well end. Shock absorber element 76 can be an elastomeric body (i.e. Viton�), a wave spring, a coil spring, etc.
Captive actuator assembly 700 may be mounted to VOV assembly 200 by simply threading lower end threads 44B onto VOV upper end threads (not shown) at thread interface 44 (see also
Solid wall bypass mandrel 20 interfaces with captive actuator assembly 700 at threads 19A, 19B. Solid wall bypass mandrel 20 is depicted, however other bypass mandrel geometries could also be used, including but not limited to, those described herein. Internal sidewall 62 and internal ledge 64 can contain seal nut 74 and shock absorber element 76. Internal fishing neck A can be located at a top end of solid wall bypass mandrel 20. It should be noted that although VOV assembly 200 is shown as a variable bypass valve, fixed bypass valves can also be incorporated.
All other parts can be identical to those previously described for VOV assembly 200. For example, actuator rod brake clutch 21, actuator rod 25, and VOV bottom cap 24 operate as described above. Fixed opening bypass valve 500 mounts to captive actuator assembly 700 in the same manner as VOV assembly 200.
Captive actuator assembly 800 mounts to solid wall mandrel 20A at its upper end while captive actuator assembly 700 mounts to its lower end. Upper end captive actuator assembly 800 comprises shock absorber element 76, seal nut 74, captive nut 78, and captive actuator 92. Captive nut 78 has interface threads 19C connectable to solid wall mandrel end threads 19D. In VOV assembly 200, captive nut 78 has interface threads 19B connectable to mandrel end threads 19A. Captive actuator assembly 800 also comprises captive actuator 92, captive actuator cylindrical end sidewall 94, and mid-sidewall 96. Captive actuator 92 can be designed with an internal fishing neck A at its end (shown in cut view), for retrieval purposes.
In this embodiment, a captive actuator assembly 800 mounted at the top end of the plunger and in conjunction with a captive actuator assembly 700 allows impact energy to be internally absorbed at two locations. Energy can be absorbed as a plunger's fish neck A strikes a well top. In addition, energy can be absorbed as an actuator rod 25 strikes a bumper spring in a well bottom. It should be noted that captive actuator 92, although shown as one piece, could also be manufactured as two separate parts, for example using captive actuator 72 and screwing a small separate fishing neck mandrel to its end. The internal shock absorber elements can be a wave spring as shown, a die coil spring, or an elastomer-type (i.e. Viton�, etc.) spring.
In operation, the bypass setting of the internal shock absorber bypass plunger 2000 is manually tuned for well loading conditions. If desired, the bypass setting could be fixed. As the internal shock absorber bypass plunger 2000 travels towards the bottom of a well, liquid passes through the plunger's internal core. The internal shock absorber bypass plunger 2000 falls against flow until it reaches the well bottom or a bumper spring located near the well's bottom.
As internal shock absorber bypass plunger 2000 strikes the bottom of the well or a bumper spring, the impact causes its actuator rod 25 to set in a closed bypass position. Impact energy can be absorbed by the plunger's one or more internal shock absorbers. When the well is open for flow, the plunger rises towards the well top carrying accumulated liquids out of the well bore. When the plunger hits the well top, impact energy can be absorbed by its one or more internal shock absorbers. At the well top, the lubricator catches the plunger where the extracting rod strikes actuator rod 25 to move the actuator rod into a bypass (or open) position. Typically, the well flows for a set time or condition controlled by the well-head controller before the auto catcher, as controlled by the well system controller, releases the plunger.
The plunger travels to the well bottom, its bypass opening allowing liquid to enter and flow through the plunger's core, the bypass feature helping to optimize its fall to the well bottom and thus optimizing well production efficiency. Periodically, an operator may visit the well site. Depending on well loading parameters, a bypass setting may be changed. Well conditions could warrant a resizing of the flow through orifice and/or a changing of a VOV assembly to a suitable fixed opening valve assembly. As stated above, a dual shock absorber embodiment is contemplated.
The internal shock absorber bypass plunger 2000 or internal dual shock absorber bypass plunger 3000 can allow for an initial bypass setting/tuning at the well site. In addition, future resets, if necessary, can be made. One single plunger having a bypass feature and a variety of orifice options is disclosed. The present apparatus can extend plunger and well apparatus life by absorbing impact shock and thus can help to optimize well production in high liquid gas wells.
It should be noted that although the hardware aspects of the internal shock absorber bypass plunger of the present invention have been described with reference to the exemplary embodiments above, other alternate embodiments could be easily employed by one skilled in the art to accomplish the shock absorbing and bypass aspects of the present invention. For example, it will be understood that additions, deletions, and changes may be made to the internal shock absorber bypass plunger 2000 (or internal dual shock absorber bypass plunger 3000) with respect to design, locations of internal shock absorbing elements, adjustment mechanisms to set the orifice openings (such as ratchet type adjustments etc.), various orifice opening settings or fixed positions, orifice geometric design other than those described above, and various internal part designs contained therein.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to preferred embodiments, numerous modifications and variations can be made and still the result will come within the scope of the invention. No limitation with respect to the specific embodiments disclosed herein is intended or should be inferred.

Hahaha wow, thanks I guess :P
Unfortunately, I can't really switch freely between accents, haha; my Canadian accent has pretty much faded over the last thirteen years or so. Although when I talk to our friends in Canada sometimes it kinda comes through, a little- hearing it kinda 'activates' it, haha.
Thanks for watching our LP, too! :D
i'm a noob don't eat me
I was just randomly browsing the Accent Challenge thread and saw you were Irish. And because Irish accents make me happy (dunno why), I had a listen.
Seriously. XD I ended up watching your LP just because I wanted to hear some more of it. (It was hilarious, by the way.) But stalkerishness aside, can you still do a Canadian accent? (I ask solely because that would redefine the concept of awesome. Switching between them mid-sentence. It'd be like Scottish-English people BUT SOMEHOW EVEN BETTER.)

I pick up a lot of stuff and find new uses for it and can't figure out what this might have originally been. At first, I thought it was a round bingo cage but not so sure. It's made of metal and metal mesh and has a bent latch and hinges and can be opened. It also has a metal plates with square holes on either side. I'd appreciate an identification. I've got another photo of it open. Thanks!

Most Americans want a large welfare/warfare state. They want free public education, roads, welfare in various forms, and wars being fought in various nations to bring them democracy and equality. AND, they don't want to pay for any of it.

bloodhound is very rude in manner. most people i know never want war and want only what they should get social security and medicare that we have paid into out whole life. and really i dont want to pay more taxes but i will if the rich will but they dont because tax codes are made for the rich not the rest of us. they have so many right offs. they can have 4 houses and put them as corporate holding for bussiness and not pay any property tax. it goes on all the time. they call them advertising and entertament holdings. tax codes are written by people put in office by the rich. poor people or average americans no longer get in office. wallmart lobbies they jump to tax.

The internet sales tax is about fairness among retailers, it's not about a
tax increase. But leave it to the tea party to twist the story to suit their
mindless set. The internet seller has had a free ride for long enough, time to
come to equality with brick and mortar sellers.
Vote for this change, Chaffetz. It's a good thing. Don't get lost in the fog of a tea party.

And how many employers who hire illegal aliens collect and remit income taxes to
the IRS or state tax department? So far illegal alines and employers are not
required to pay income taxes, but illegals can collect refunds no incomes on
jobs they didn't have.
This sales tax law is an illegal tax law for the federal government to enact let alone enforce. Then Point of Sale tax in other states is illegal. Utah has to repeal its phony POS tax laws aimed at consumers who visit other states.
States are becoming brazen harassing commerce and industry and their citizens to sustain their corruption and illegal spending. States are not out of money, they are allowing illegal entitlements to illegal foreign nationals. Utah budget is more the 70% to education and welfare yet they have resisted to reason and reality to not cut those departments funds.
A federal law sales tax will be impossible to enforce or collect. Each state has the right to stop their states from collecting sales taxes to send to other states. And states that don't collect sales tax won't volunteer billion dollar departments to collect sales taxes for other states.

Until your love broke through Lyrics by Rebecca St. James
Until your love broke through by Rebecca St. James
Like a dreamer that was trying to build
A highway to the sky
All my hopes would come tumblin' down
And I never knew just why
Until today when You
pulled away the clouds
That hung like curtains on my eyes.
I was blind all these wasted years when
I thought I was so wise.
But then You took me by surprise.
Like waking up from the longest dream
How real it seemed
Until Your love broke through
And I was lost in a fantasy
That blinded me
Until Your love broke through.
All my life I have been searching
For that carzy missing part
With one touch You just rolled away
The stone that held my heart,
Now I see that the answer was as simple
As my need to let love in
And I am so sure I could never doubt
Your gentle touch again
It's like the power of the wind.

Wright State University has deployed Utah Scientific equipment in its newly renovated control room at the Nutter Center, the university's 10,000-seat sports arena. The new control room is part of an overhaul of the arena's video production system to support full-HD video. The system includes two separate production switchers for simultaneous productions within the arena. The university's Video Technology Services unit installed a UTAH-400/144 routing switcher to bridge all of the production system components. The UTAH-400 dynamically allocates sources to switchers, monitors, and replay systems, and outputs signals to recordings, air feeds, encoders, and arena signage and displays. The university also installed an SC-4 system controller, a UCP-SX full-matrix control panel, four UCP-36 single bus control panels, and a SoftPanel-2 GUI control panel system. The full-matrix panel is used to configure the system before each production, while the others change content during events. This is the second Utah Scientific UTAH-400 routing system on the Wright State campus. Though the reliability of the equipment and customer support were cited as being major factors in the purchasing decision, having a second unit on campus has delivered maximum benefit by allowing the university to economize on its spare part inventory, and to take advantage of its experience base for programming and maintenance. Other important benefits include the modularity and availability of numerous control options, as well as the ability to support 3GHz and fiber.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful
A thought provoking eye-opener,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Zero Degrees of Empathy: A new theory of human cruelty (Kindle Edition)
This is a fascinating book. Recommended to me by a friend who is a child psychologist I wondered whether it might be a bit too specialist for me but it is written really clearly and is accessible by the interested amateur. I have hardly stopped thinking about 'zero degrees empathy' as an explanation for some people's ability to treat other people as objects and it is amazing how often it has been a useful reference point when reading other books or even watching the news. It has had quite a profound effect on my behaviour and in my dealings with my family and friends as well as my colleagues. It certainly makes me think about the way I treat other humans.

When my friend Sara Beth and I spotted dirt-cheap flights to Bogota, we knew it was time for us to finally adventure to South America for the first time ever! We didn't really know what we were getting ourselves into, hardly planning much before going because we were both so busy with work, but it ended up being awesome.
Before going, we looked at Cartagena, Bogota, and Medellin before ultimately settling on Bogota. While I'd read that it wasn't a very touristy destination and more of a business city, we still found loads of things to see and do while there, and I'd go back again!
The people were friendly and happy, the weather (while drizzly) was nice and cool, the Andes surrounding the city made for a gorgeous backdrop, the food was delicious, and I loved all the street art.
