A method and apparatus for recovering viscous hydrocarbons from a subsurface reservoir holding the same using an essentially horizontal well bore having a production inlet and containing steam injection tubing that carries a plurality of jet nozzles oriented to emit steam along said injection tubing towards said production inlet.

The press comprises a main cage provided with a perforated cylindrical wall which may be driven in rotation by a motor and an auxiliary cage having a perforated wall integral with a plate which is movable in translation and connected to rotate with the main cage. A screw is provided and driven in rotation by a motor on which screw the hub of the movable plate is screwthreadedly mounted. The end wall of the press is rotatably mounted on the screw. When pressing, the juice flows radially through t...

A horizontally sliding and folding shutter having a plurality of doors made of glass and other rigid materials and connected horizontally by the intermediary of joints, the odd-numbered ones of which doors are supported with upper sliders and lower rollers respectively in slidable relations to the oppositely channel-shaped head jamb and sill, while the even-numbered ones of which doors are supported with upper and lower rollers respectively in slidable relations to the same head jamb and sill, a...

The invention is a system, device and method that captures wind energy and converts it into mechanical or electrical energy. In a system embodiment, the system transfers wind power to rotational energy. The system includes a wind capture means that uses wind to generate a mechanical force, an energy coupling means for transferring the mechanical force to a horizontally mountable wheel having a shaft coupled thereto, and an energy transfer system that couples the mechanical force from the shaft t...

There is provided a horizontal rotary compressor capable of improving performance thereof while an oil supply means smoothly supplies oil. A part of a hermetic shell case at the upper side is partitioned by a baffle into an electric element side and an oil pump side, a refrigerant which is drawn from an outside of the hermetic shell case is compressed by a first rotary compression element and a second rotary compression element and discharged toward the electric element side of the baffle, then ...

A horizontal trophy for memorializing an event has an elongated base. A variety of articles selected to depict the event to be memorialized are selected and attached to the upper surface of the elongated base to depict the event and to represent the participants in the event. A label on the base provides information regarding the memorialized event.

A horizontal MOSFET prevents itself from breakdown caused by an avalanche current which flows to a base of a parasitic bipolar transistor when avalanche breakdown of a diode formed between a drain and a substrate occurs. A current path, comprised of a back electrode or a layer with high impurity concentration, is disposed on the side of a back surface of a semiconductor substrate. This current path reduces the base current of the parasitic transistor. Due to this, heat generation caused by an op...

An integrated circuit structure includes providing a semiconductor substrate and forming a trench therein. A thyristor is formed around the trench and within the semiconductor substrate. The thyristor has at least four layers with three P-N junctions therebetween. A gate for the thyristor is formed within the trench. An access transistor is formed on the semiconductor substrate. An interconnect is formed between the thyristor and the access transistor.

A horizontal windmill includes a vertical tubular internal baffle member, a plurality of vanes responsive to the wind, mounted and positioned so that they revolve horizontally when the wind blows, partially rotating to resist the force of the wind in some positions during such revolution and being feathered with respect to it in other positions, and a vertical baffle located outside the path of rotation of the vanes, for increasing the wind speed as the wind is directed against the wind-resistin...

A horizontal baler comprising a compactor chamber with a compaction end and a discharge end. A bale of material is formed in the compaction end of the chamber as loose material is deposited in the chamber and compressed by a plunger which is reciprocally driven in the chamber by a motor. A first bale is formed in the chamber and tied with wire. The first bale is urged toward the discharge end of the chamber by compression of more material in the chamber to form a second bale. The end of the firs...
