Patent CA-2354957-A1 (CA)
Title: Coriolis mass flow controller
Inventor: DILLE JOSEPH C
IPC: G01F1/84
Filed: 2001-08-13
Abstract: A Coriolis mass flow sensor includes a flow tube, a light source positioned adjacent a first side of the flow tube and a light detector positioned adjacent a second side of the flow tube. A drive device is operatively situated relative to the flow tube for vibrating the flow tube, such that the flow tube moves through a path defined between the light source and the light detector. In other aspects of the invention, a Coriolis mass flow sensor includes a flow tube and a frame having the flow tube mounted thereon.  A drive device is operatively situated relative to the frame for vibrating the frame and at least one pick off sensor is situated relative to the flow tube so as to measure the twist in the flow tube due to Coriolis force. Other aspects of the invention concern a straight-tube Coriolis mass flow sensor. A flexible flow tube defines a generally linear flow path. A  drive device is positioned to actuate the flow tube, and first and second pick off sensors are positioned at the first and second ends of the flow tube, respectively. The first and second pick off sensors output a signal in response to movement of the flow tube, wherein a Coriolis force established by a flow of material through the flow tube causes a phase shift between the signals output by the first and second pick off sensors.

Patent CA-2368899-A1 (CA)
Title: Inflatable packer
Inventor: CARISELLA JAMES V
IPC: E21B33/127
Filed: 2000-04-04
Abstract: An inflatable packing device for use in a subterranean well provides a sophisticated bladder, either alone or in combination with a sophisticated cover, which results in a uniform expansion profile and exceptionally low angles of expansion propagation during inflation of the bladder to set the device, whereby well fluids between the wall of the well bore and the exterior of the cover of the device are swept away from the area of subsequent sealing of the cover. The propensity for rib kinking and rib cutting, pinching, folding, cracking and tearing of the bladder during inflation are eliminated. Correspondingly, reduced stresses and strains in cover segments combined with near ideal inflation profiles result in enhanced expansion propagation of the inflation element and improved service performance and reliability of the downhole device.

Title: Matrix methods and systems for supply chain management
Inventor: KERN THOMAS
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2001-03-29
Abstract: A system and method of receiving orders, placing orders in an order matrix, determining potential production periods for an order, rescheduling orders, and generating a bill of materials. The method receives an order having one or more tokens out of a set of possible tokens. Each token is a combination of a characteristic and a value of the characteristic. The orders are placed in a n order matrix. An order restriction matrix for the orders is generated based on certain selection conditions. The method then examines the restrictions that  apply to the order and derives an order derived production restriction matri x for the order, which is evaluated to determine possible production periods f or the order. The order matrix may also be used to generate a bill of materials .
