Title: A method for using rock debris to line a wellbore and/or removing unused rock debris from a wellbore involving a downhole crusher.
Inventor: TUNGET BRUCE ARNOLD
IPC: B02C13/24
Filed: 2010-12-16
Abstract: A rock crushing/grinding apparatus is placed downhole near to the drill-bit and is adapted to increase the volume of reduced particle size rock debris generated by increasing the frequency of impact and associated breakage of the rock debris inventory, per revolution of the conduit string and/or per volume of fluid slurry circulated. The crushed rock debris then coats the unlined strata wall of said passageway to inhibit strata fracture initiation or propagation. The borehole is also flushed at an increased rate by the associated reduction in fluid slurry suspension or velocities needed to urge the rock debris through the unlined strata passageway.

Title: Vehicle having an auxiliary driveline controlled so as to reduce mode chattering
Inventor: STARES PETE
IPC: B60K23/08
Filed: 2011-02-18
Abstract: An all terrain motor vehicle comprises an engine 11 which may be connected by a clutch 17, a gearbox 18 and a pair for drive shafts 19 to front wheels 12, 13 and an auxiliary driveline 10 which connects the engine to rear wheels 14, 15. The auxiliary driveline 10 comprises a power transfer unit 24 having a power transfer clutch 22 which couples a main drive shaft 23 to the gearbox 18. In a first mode the front wheels12, 13 may be driven by the engine 11 and in a second mode the rear wheel 14, 15 may additionally be driven by the engine 11 so that the vehicle is four wheel drive mode. A controller 40 determines at least one vehicle operating parameter, e.g. temperature, and stores first and second threshold values of the vehicle operating parameter. In the second mode, the power transfer clutch 22 is disconnected so that the vehicle transitions to the first mode when a condition is met that a value of the operating parameter passes through the second threshold value in a second direction opposite the first direction, thereby to reduce mode chattering.

Title: Dock with moveable connector for display device
Inventor: HAYASHIDA JEFF
IPC: G06F1/16
Filed: 2010-12-21
Abstract: Docking stations with a moveable connector that is more durable are provided. For example, when a portable electronic device, coupled with the connector, is pushed forward, the connector is designed to move (e.g. rotate), thereby reducing an impact of strain resulting from such a push. The rotatable connector may be biased to keep the portable electronic device in an upright position such that the electronic device is supported by a rear reference surface of the docking station, thereby preventing undue strain on the rotatable connector in the upright position and inhibiting movement forward. The rotatable connector may be partly below an outer shell of the docking station, and pivot at the outer shell, thereby reducing possible damage to parts below the outer shell. The rotatable connector may also retract when rotated, thereby removing a force that can break the connector at a position of full rotation forward.

Title: Method and system for motivating and promoting usage of toll lane
Inventor: MANDEL BARRY P
IPC: G07B15/00
Filed: 2013-01-16
Abstract: A method and system for motivating and optimizing usage of a toll lane by displaying a time based cost metric on an electronic display (220). The real time electronic display (220) can be configured on the toll lane for displaying information with respect to the toll lane to, for example, a driver on a highway. An average speed of vehicles in the toll lane and/or a non-toll lane of the highway over at least one span can be measured and the average speed can be displayed on the electronic display. A toll rate with respect to the usage of the toll lane can be determined and displayed. A time saving value and a cost per unit time with respect to the usage of the toll lane over the span can be calculated and displayed on the electronic display. The toll lane can be a high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane or a high occupancy toll (HOT) lane. The measurement of average speed of vehicles using the toll lane can be made using sensors, image capturing devices or GPS data from mobile devices associated with vehicles on the toll lane. The displayed information can be updated in real-time.
