Title: Single tube downhole densitometer
Inventor: STORM BRUCE H JR
IPC: G01F1/84
Filed: 2002-10-28
Abstract: A measurement device is provided that determines fluid properties from
vibration frequencies of a sample cavity. The measurement device includes a sample
flow tube (108), a vibration source (110) and a detector (112) mounted on the tube,
and a measurement module. The sample flow tube receives a flow of sample fluid for
characterization. The measurement module employs the vibration sources to generate
vibrations in the tube. The measurement module combines the signals from the
vibration detector on the tube to determine properties of the sample fluid, such as
density, viscosity, compressibility, water fraction, and bubble size. The measurement
module may further detect certain flow patterns such as slug flow, for example. To
measure the sample fluid density, the measurement module determines the resonant
frequency of the sample flow tube. The density can then be calculated according to a
formula that compensates for the temperature and pressure of the system. Other fluid
properties may be determined from the sample tube's resonance peak amplitude, peak
width and/or peak shape. Variation of the density measurements may be used to
detect and characterize multiple phase fluid flow. The use of a vibration source and
detector are arranged in a manner that greatly enhances the accuracy and reliability of
the measurement device over a range of temperatures, pressures, and shock
accelerations such as those that may be found downhole in a well.

Abstract: The present invention relates to techniques for securing electronic data
and keeping the electronic data secured at all times. According to one
embodiment, a client module in a client machine is configured to provide access
control to secured documents that may be located in a local store, another
computer machine or somewhere over a data network. The client module
includes a document-securing module configured to operate in a path through
which a document being accessed is caused to pass so that the document can
be examined or detected for the security nature. If the document is secured, the
document-securing module obtains a user or group key to decrypt security
information in the secured document for access rules therein. If a user
accessing the document is determined to have the access privilege to the
secured document, a file key is retrieved from the security information and a
cipher module is activated to decrypt the encrypted data portion with the file key.
Likewise, if a document is to be secured, the cipher module encrypts clear data
from the document to create the encrypted data portion. The document-securing
module integrates proper or desired security information with the
encrypted data portion to produce the secured document.

Abstract: Starting from the basic structuring of any conventional self-adhesive label, on
the basis of a strip of paper (1) bearing the identification details of a given
object or product, provided on its rear side with a layer of adhesive (6) for
attachment to said object or product, assisted by a siliconized strip (7)
removable at the time of its affixture, its features essentially revolve round the
fact the aforesaid strip of paper (1) includes on its rear side, between the strip
proper and the layer of adhesive 6), a printed message (8), visible through
the actual strip of paper (1) and acting as a means for the validation of the
label, so that in the event of any possible fraudulent tampering aimed at
transferring said label to an object differing from the printed message (8),
together with the layer of adhesive (6), it remains affixed to the original
object, becomes therefore detached from the label proper (1), and reveals
that the latter has been subject to tampering.

Abstract: An image forming device includes a quantization unit (3) which
quantizes each pixel of an M-level gradation input image into one of
N levels (M > N ≧ 2) through an error diffusion process. An
operation unit (8,9) performs a predetermined operation
on the gradation value of the target pixel
before quantization when the gradation value of the target pixel is
equal to a specific concentration, the operation being dependent on
the position of the target pixel. In one embodiment the addition or
subtraction of predetermined values generates a blank dot or a middle
dot in a solid small dot of an output image. In another embodiment
the gradation scale of a multilevel image forming device is subdivided
into N-1 portions and the quantization thresholds depend on the gradation
values according to sloped characteristics in each portion of the gradation scale.

Abstract: The blending coefficients (alpha values) of font glyphs undergo alpha correction
to compensate for a lack of gamma correction in text rendering processes. The alpha
correction includes selecting a set of correction coefficients that correspond to the
predetermined gamma value of the display device and computing corrected alpha values
from the known alpha values, the foreground colors, and set of correction coefficients.
The corrected alpha values can then be used to blend the foreground and background
colors of the corresponding display pixels without requiring gamma correction.
Accordingly, the alpha correction can be performed by a GPU, which is not configured
to perform gamma correction, thereby increasing the speed at which text rendering can
occur.

Abstract: A correlated double sampling (CDS) circuit that reduces
a shift in the potential of a node on the reference voltage
side produced by reset operation is provided. A reset
signal RST is turned to "H" and then is turned to "L". By
doing so, a photodiode (D1) begins integration according to
the intensity of light. This detected signal is sent to a
CDS circuit (20). A switch SW1 and a connection switch for
sampling (21) in the CDS circuit (20) are turned ON to
accumulate the detected signal according to integration time
in parallel capacitors C1 and C2 as electric charges. After
a certain period of time has elapsed, the SW1 and connection
switch for sampling (21) are turned OFF to hold the detected
signal sampled. Next, the RST is turned again to "H" and
the SW1 is turned ON. Then the RST is turned to "L" and the
SW1 is turned OFF. By doing so, reset noise is sampled and
held in the capacitor C1. As a result, a pure signal
component can be extracted from the detected signal. After
that a connection switch for outputting SW3 and a connection
switch for reading (22) are turned ON to transfer an output
voltage signal according to the signal component included in
the detected signal to an output bus line.

Abstract: A wireless communications network, including a base station (10) and wireless units (UE), is disclosed. The wireless units (UE) request a connection with the base station (10) by the transmission of a preamble within time slots designated by the base station (10). The disclosed preambles are Walsh Hadamard code symbols, repeated a number of times so as to have the same length as a cell-specific scrambling code. The wireless unit (UE) requesting a connection pseudo-randomly selects a time slot from those available, and one of the Walsh Hadamard code symbols, replicates the code symbol into a spread interleaved bitstream, scrambles this bitstream and transmits it to the base station (10). Upon receipt, the base station (10) applies the incoming bitstream to a matched filter (98) to descramble the signal, following which the symbol is de-interleaved by way of a sequence of delay lines (100). Despreaders (102) generate each bit of the symbol from corresponding taps of the delay lines (100), and the symbol is applied to a correlator (104, 126, 136) to determine the transmitted preamble.
