摘要： A system and method of diagnosis provides that data from a hematopathology analyzer, e.g., hematology analyzer and/or other blood testing instrument or test, is input and compared with patterns corresponding to specific patient conditions. The matched patterns are arranged in a hierarchy in accordance with predetermined rules. Initially the patterns matched are displayed, optionally with recommendations for additional testing. If additional testing is done, a comparison of the original test data and new data is done, the patterns matched and at least one highest ranked pattern is identified, optionally with a differential diagnosis.

摘要： An underreamer for forming a cavity within a well bore is provided. The underreamer may include a housing rotatably disposed within the well bore. The underreamer may also include an actuation rod slidably positioned in the housing. The underreamer may further include a plurality of cutter sets where each cutter set is pivotally coupled to the housing and the actuation rod. The cutter sets are also pivotally coupled together. An axial force applied to the actuation rod operates to slide the actuation rod relative to the housing and extend the cutter sets from a retracted position radially outward relative to the housing to form the cavity when the housing is rotated.

摘要： A cavity positioning tool includes a housing adapted to be coupled to a downhole string. The cavity positioning tool includes at least one blunt arm pivotally coupled to the housing. Each blunt arm is configured to contact a surface of the cavity to position the tool in the cavity. The cavity positioning tool also includes a piston slidably disposed within the housing. The piston is operable to engage each blunt arm. The piston is also operable to receive an axial force operable to slide the piston relative to the housing. The sliding of the piston extends each blunt arm radially outward relative to the housing from a retracted position.

摘要： An underreamer for forming a cavity within a well bore includes a housing adapted to be rotatably disposed within the well bore and a piston slidably coupled to the housing. The underreamer also includes a first cutter having a first end and a second end. The first end of the first cutter is pivotally coupled to the housing. The underreamer further includes a second cutter having a first end and a second end. The first end of the second cutter is coupled to the piston. The second end of the first cutter is coupled to the second cutter such that an axial force applied to the piston is operable to slide the piston relative to the housing and extend the second end of the second cutter radially outward relative to the housing from a retracted position to form the cavity when the housing is rotated relative to the well bore.

摘要： An underreamer for forming a cavity within a well bore is provided. The underreamer may include a housing rotatably disposed within the well bore. The underreamer may also include a sleeve slidably positioned around the housing. The underreamer may further include at least one cutter set where each cutter set is pivotally coupled to the housing and the sleeve. An axial force applied to the sleeve operates to slide the sleeve relative to the housing and extend each cutter set from a retracted position radially outward relative to the housing to form the cavity when the housing is rotated.

摘要： A method for removing fluid from a subterranean zone includes drilling a well bore from a surface to the subterranean zone and forming an enlarged cavity in the well bore such that the enlarged cavity acts as a chamber to separate liquid from gas flowing from the subterranean zone through the well bore. The method includes positioning a pump inlet within the enlarged cavity and operating a pumping unit to produce the liquid through the pump inlet. The well bore may comprise an articulated well bore.

摘要： A single-blade underreamer for forming a cavity within a well bore includes a housing rotatably disposed within the well bore, and a stabilizer coupled to the housing. The stabilizer is operable to stabilize the housing within the well bore during formation of the cavity. The underreamer also includes a single cutter pivotally coupled to the housing, and a piston slidably disposed within the housing and adapted to engage the cutter. A downwardly disposed force applied to the piston is operable slide the piston relative to the housing to correspondingly extend the cutter outwardly relative to the housing from a retracted position to form the cavity during rotation of the housing.

摘要： In accordance with one embodiment, a method is provided for clearing the inside of a wellbore including inserting a wellbore clearing system into the wellbore. The wellbore clearing system includes an anchor adapted to be positioned within the wellbore, an agitator operable to be moved relative to the interior surface of the wellbore, and a linkage coupling the agitator to the anchor. The method further includes securing the anchor within the wellbore and moving the agitator relative to the interior surface of the wellbore. The movement of the agitator is operable to at least partially eliminate a restriction to a flow of minerals or other resources in the wellbore.
