Inventor: BUCHETON DANIEL
IPC: F04B1/20
Filed: 2001-06-12
Abstract: The cranked axis axial piston pump has a split rotor concentrically aligned containing an outer drive element (8) and an inner barrel (3). This barrel (3) contains the axially aligned pistons (6) reciprocating in chambers whose face (4) is pressed against the port plate (2) by the effect of a compression spring (11). This configuration reduces friction and allows compensation between the mating faces of the port plate and the barrel. The cranked hydraulic pump with axial pistons (6) consists of a rotating barrel (3) with a central axis (X) co-operating with a distribution port plate (2) associated with a support surface (4) set at right angles to this axis (X). The barrel (3) has a series of axial drillings (5) in which are mounted in a sliding fashion the corresponding pistons (6). A drive (8) distinct from the barrel (3) is provided to rotate about the axis (X) which ensures on one part the centring and driving of the barrel (3) about the axis of rotation (X) and on the other part the reaction for a spring (11) pushing the support surface (4) of the barrel (3) against the port plate (2).

Title: Collecting per-packet billing data in a packet data service
Inventor: RONNEKE HANS
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1999-12-07
Abstract: Per-packet billing for a packet data network, mobile or fixed, is provided by retrieving and processing all packets transported at a physical layer of the network, where the data packets are communicated with a traffic function that operates independently of a billing function. Using a billing-function computing resource, which is separate and independent from a traffic-function computing resource that processes traffic related information the billing data are filtered out, processed, stored and distributed, without competing with the traffic functions of the network. Two independent physical layer interfaces separately couple a comunication link of the physical layer to the billing-function computing resource and traffic-function computing resource, respectively.

Inventor: CAMERON RICHARD N
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2000-02-25
Abstract: An agent based system assists in obtaining information from an article of interest and utilizes the information to take user directed action based on the information from the target article. The system obtains input text in character form indicative of the target meeting from a calendar program that includes the time of the meeting. As the time of the meeting approaches, the calendar program is queried to obtain the text of the target event and that information is utilized as input to the agent system. Then, the agent system parses the input meeting text to extract its various components such as title, body, participants, location, time etc. The system also performs pattern matching to identify particular appropriate information. This information is utilized to query various sources of information on the web and obtain relevant stories about the current meeting to send back to the calendaring system.

Inventor: PAROBEK CHRISTOPHER MICHAEL
IPC: G01N35/10
Filed: 2001-11-09
Abstract: The accurate determination of the presence of a fluid in a container is determined by assessing the difference in various pressure readings relative to a threshold value. The method distinguishes between actual aspiration of a fluid and aspiration of a film that can otherwise lead one to believe that fluid has been aspirated when it has not. The method is particularly useful in clinical analyzers such as automated enzyme immunoassay devices.

Title: Thrust enhancement device for coiled tubing injectors
Inventor: GIPSON TOMMIE C
IPC: E21B19/22
Filed: 2002-03-07
Abstract: A means and method for improving the injection of coiled tubing into and from a well by providing a secondary injection device for supplementing the thrust forces of the primary injector means. Use of the secondary injection device coacting in tandem with the coiled tubing injector permits developing significantly higher axial forces in the tubing than can be provided by the primary injector alone. The selectably operable thrust enhancement device of this invention provides a short, repeatable stroke in either direction. The thrust enhancement device operates by selectably gripping the tubing with a reciprocably moveable means in a first position, shifting the moveable means to a second position thereby moving the tubing, gripping the tubing with a static means at its new position, releasing the tubing from the moveable means, and returning the moveable means to its first position. When the thrust enhancement device is not needed for the injection operation, its gripping means are disengaged from the tubing.
