Patent GB-0304949-D0 (GB)
Title: Catalytic reactor and process
IPC: C01B3/38
Filed: 2003-03-05
Abstract: Natural gas is reacted with steam for generating carbon monoxide and hydrogen in a first catalytic reactor. The resulting gas mixture is used to perform Fischer-Tropsch synthesis in a second catalytic reactor. After performing Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, the remaining hydrogen is separated from a hydrocarbon-rich stream using a hydrogen-permeable membrane, and the hydrocarbon-rich stream is returned to be subjected to steam reforming. Preferable, the hydrogen-rich stream is supplied to a combustion channel for providing heat for the endothermic steam-reforming reaction. The overall process converts natural gas to longer-chain hydrocarbons and can provide a carbon conversion of more than 80%.

Title: Downhole activatable annular seal assembly
IPC: E21B21/00
Filed: 2004-06-23
Abstract: Devices and methods are described for establishing an effective annular seal about between an active pressure differential device and a surrounding wellbore sidewall. In other aspects, the invention provides a means of selectively activating such a seal during drilling operations or other operations wherein drilling mud is flowed through the drill string and returns through the annulus. The annular seal assembly may include an inflatable packer element and a hydraulic inflation system. The hydraulic inflation system uses the fluid pressure provided by drilling mud that is returning to the surface via the annulus to inflate the packer element and set the seal. The hydraulic inflation system also buffers and regulates the fluid pressure setting the packer element to avoid overinflation of the element. In other aspects, the seal assembly may comprise a set of mud cups that are set against the borehole sidewall using a pressure differential across the seal assembly or a spring-biased seal element.

Title: Ball-and-socket joint
IPC: F16C11/06
Filed: 1983-07-13
Abstract: A ball-and-socket joint, e.g. for a gas spring, has a socket 20 for receiving a spherical ball 25 of a ball stud which is mounted onto a member, where the ball is free to undergo rotary displacement within the socket. The socket comprises a main socket body 21 provided with a penetrating hole 26, a ring spring 23 having a discontinuous part, and a cap 22. The cap has a cylindrical part 34 which is formed with a space at an inner periphery thereof into which the ball is inserted, and an external screw 32 for engaging with a screw thread 29 of a large diameter part 30 of the hole 26 in the main socket body. The cap is screwed into the main socket body with the ring spring positioned in correspondence with a tapered part 31 of the penetrating hole. The end of the cylindrical part 34 pushes the ring spring 23 against the tapered part 31 when the cap is screwed in, and prevents the diameter of the ring spring from being enlarged, so that the ball inserted within the cylindrical part is prevented by the spring from slipping out of the cylindrical part. When the cap is unscrewed, the diameter of the ring spring can be enlarged so that the ball is free to slip in and out of the main socket body by passing through the ring spring. <IMAGE>

Title: Feeding appliance
IPC: A61J15/00
Filed: 1987-03-25
Abstract: A device for administering oral fluid to a patient from a container has a nipple connected to the container by a tube. The nipple is held in the patient's mouth. A detector responds to the patient sucking or pressing the nipple to initiate a flow of fluid in the tube and switches on a metering means (e.g. peristaltic pump) to deliver positively a suitable bolus to the patient. To give the patient time to swallow the bolus, the detector can be inhibited for a predetermined delay period after termination of the bolus and over the same delay period the tube will remain pinched or clamped.

Title: Air separation
IPC: F01D15/10

The resulting hot nitrogen is then expanded in turbine 58 with the performance of external work, e.g. the generation of electricity.
Patent GB-8914983-D0 (GB)
Title: Congestion control in computer networks
IPC: G06F15/16
Filed: 1989-06-29
Abstract: A known congestion avoidance system for computer networks detects congestion at a node output port if the average queue length (integral) over the last congestion cycle plus the current (incomplete) cycle exceeds a fixed constant (taken as 1). (A congestion cycle is a period for which the queue length is 1 or more plus the following period for which the queue length is 0.) The time of arrival or departure of a message is stored at 21, the interval from the previous event is calculated at 22 and 23, the length of the current cycle is incremented at 25 by adding in the interval just determined, and the queue length at 26 is incremented or decremented by 1. The running integral for the current cycle is updated by having added into it the product formed at 27 of the interval since the last event (stored at 23) and the current queue length. The integrals for the current and previous cycles (stored at 24 and 30) are added and the lengths of those two cycles (stored at 29 and 31) are added, and the first sum divided at 34 by the second to obtain a grand average queue length. If that exceeds a preset value, then a congestion bit is set in messages leaving that node output port. In the present system, the running queue length average (in 29 min ) is maintained by adding (at 28 min ) the queue length (in 26 min ) into the average at regular intervals determined by timer ticks (from 60) (thus using integer addition instead of integer multiplication), and the grand average compared with the preset value by comparing (at 61) the total of the queue length averages with the total of the cycle periods (thus using integer addition and comparison instead of floating point operation).

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/GB92/02310 Sec. 371 Date Aug. 15, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Aug. 15, 1994 PCT Filed Dec. 11, 1991 PCT Pub. No. WO93/11877 PCT Pub. Date Jun. 24, 1993A centrifugal separator comprises a drum (1) rotatable about its axis within which annular walls (10, 20) define discharge chambers (11, 21) at the ends of the drum, from which separated fluids of different specific gravities are discharged by respective scoops (14, 24). Alternatively, annular walls (44, 45 and 47, 49) define both such chambers at one end only of the drum. The dimensions of the annular walls are chosen so that the separator is self-regulating, in that the separated fluids are discharged independently of the proportions of the fluids in the incoming mixture, so that operation of the separator does not have to be controlled in response to sensing of the separation process within the drum.
