Title: E-UTRAN cell measurements and (re)selection during radio resource control state transitions
Inventor: FRANKLIN STEVEN
IPC: H04W24/10
Filed: 2012-07-13
Abstract: A User Equipment, UE, performs cell measurement and evaluation 64 on another frequency or system during a Radio Resource Control, RRC, state transition from a first state 52 to a second state 54, where a cell measurement is not normally possible in the first and second states. Cell measurement and evaluation is performed during a transition to a CELL_FACH state to identify a suitable E-UTRAN cell for possible cell reselection. UE camped in UTRAN connected state, receives a Radio Bearer Reconfiguration message and disconnects from the network to perform reconfiguration 56. The UE performs cell selection 58 and camps on a cell and monitors the FACH 60. As the UE is disconnected from the network it has more time to perform cell measurements and evaluation 64 on Long Term Evolution, LTE, frequencies to search and find a suitable E-UTRAN cell 66. Prior to performing cell measurement and evaluation, measurement conditions 62 may need to be satisfied, including: determining that measurement occasions are not available in the CELL_FACH state, determining that discontinuous reception is not available in the CELL_FACH state, determining that CELL_FACH measurements to LTE is not enabled, or, determining that there is suitable coverage on another frequency or system.

Title: Submersible pump housing with seal bleed ports
Inventor: ESLINGER DAVID M
IPC: E21B43/12
Filed: 2013-07-31
Abstract: A submersible pump housing with seal bleed ports is provided. In an implementation, a pump housing for electric submersible pumps (ESPs), such as a centrifugal ESP, has end seals 306 that are located inside or further inboard toward the high thrust pressure generated by the pump, than the threaded ends of the pump housing. The inboard seals contain and seal off the pump pressure and spare the threaded regions that are more pressure-vulnerable from the pump's high pressure interior, thereby increasing the pressure rating of the entire housing. Leak ports or bleed ports 308 are provided further outboard of the end seals to relieve fluid seeping from inside the submersible pump housing past each end seal. A plate 310 may be added to direct small amounts of fluid escaping from the end seals away from the wellbore casing in which an ESP is situated.

Title: Evaluating a program instruction within a stack evaluator
Inventor: MARINELLI EUGENE E III
IPC: G06F9/40
Filed: 2013-10-22
Abstract: Call frame 204 associated with the instruction is generated in call stack 202. The call frame includes expression 210 specified by the instruction. Child frame 204 associated with the expression is generated within the stack, after which the stack may be transitioned to a stack evaluation state. It may be determined that child frame processing has been blocked, preferably by determining that the stack has transitioned to a blocked state, and, if so, batch processing the expression by an application server with other expressions. Modification to the child frame is received that sets value 208 of the expression within the child frame and the call frame is processed based partly on the value. Preferably, processing of the child frame is unblocked before the call frame is processed. A second call frame associated with the instruction may be generated within the stack including a second expression specified by the instruction and a child frame associated with the second expression is generated within the stack.
