Title: Sealing assembly for subterranean well packing unit
Inventor: LUKE MICHAEL ANTHONY
IPC: E21B33/12
Filed: 1990-08-31
Abstract: Extrusion of organic sealing element material (20) between inner surfaces of upper and lower cone elements (12, 14) and the exterior of a tubular body portion (10) is eliminated by forming a generally radial surface (12b, 14b) on the inner end of each of the upper and lower cone elements (12, 14) and inserting a carbon fiber filled organic material (22) in the resulting annular chamber. Extrusion of the organic material (20) between the inclined conical surfaces (12a, 14a) of each cone element (12, 14) and the cooperating surface (16a) of the cone ring (16) is minimized by utilizing the forces exerted by the compressed sealing material (20) of the packing element to effect the shearing of the vertex portion of a packer ring (18) along a plane that corresponds exactly to the inclined conical surface (12a, 14a) of the cone element (12, 14). <IMAGE>

Title: Chroma key signal generator with soft zone type keying
Inventor: GEHRMANN RAINER
IPC: H04N9/75
Filed: 1992-12-17
Abstract: In a method and an arrangement for deriving a control signal for inserting a background signal into parts of a foreground signal fixed by a key colour, in which the control signal assumes a first value when the foreground signal represents a colour in the region of the key colour and a second value when the foreground signal represents a different colour, and in which the control signal has a transition range between the two values, the distances between the colour locations of the pixels of the foreground signal and the colour location of the key colour are computed for distinguishing colour locations associated with foreground objects or with the key colour from colour locations to be associated with the transition range. These colour locations associated with the transition range whose distance is distinguished from colour locations of one or a plurality of adjacent pixels by more than a predetermined distance (not complying with a homogeneity criterion) are considered to be associated with the transition range. Intermediate values of the control signal are computed for the colour locations in the transition range. <IMAGE>

Title: Ultrasonic measurement apparatus
Inventor: GURTUNA AHMET GIRAL
IPC: G01L5/24
Filed: 1992-05-01
Abstract: An apparatus for measuring the time taken for a signal to be transmitted through a medium such as a bolt. An ultrasonic signal is transmitted into the bolt and reflections of the transmitted signal are detected after transmission through the bolt. After a first transmission is initiated, each of a series of further transmissions is initiated in response to detection of a second reflection of the transmitted signal resulting from the preceding transmission. The total elapsed time between initiation of the first transmission and detection of the second reflection of the transmitted signal resulting from the last transmission is measured, and the sum of time delays elapsing between initiation of each signal and detection of a first reflection of the resulting transmitted signal is measured. The time taken for transmission of the signal through the bolt is calculated from the difference between the total elapsed time and said sum. <IMAGE>

Title: Optical fibre strain sensor
Inventor: NADEN JAMES MARK
IPC: G01M11/08
Filed: 1994-02-09
Abstract: An optical fibre strain sensor, e.g. for monitoring the condition of a solid propellant body for a rocket motor, includes a sense fibre (39) in contact with the body. A signal from a first modulated laser source (32) is coupled to the sense fibre via a downlead (36) and reflected at 40. A reference signal from a second, identically modulated, laser source (33) operating at a different wavelength traverses the downlead and is reflected at 38. Weighted summation of the two signals (figure 3, not shown) removes crosstalk introduced by wavelength multiplexing couplers (37, 41) whereby to allow accurate phase comparison to obtain a measure of strain in the sense fibre. The use of a separate reference source overcomes the problem of spurious signals arising from strain in the downlead providing coupling to the sense fibre. <IMAGE>
