Abstract: To test coiled tubing, at least one test is performed on a coiled tubing that has been used, such as in an oil or gas well. Performing such test includes obtaining a specific output data event (e.g. a nondestructive evaluation test readout) for the used coiled tubing. The specific output data event is compared with a predetermined sequence of output data events (e.g. a collection of data defining a "lifeline" for the coiled tubing) for determining where the sequence and the specific output data event correspond. A coiled tubing status indication is generated in response to where the specific output data event corresponds with the sequence as a measure of a point in the useful life of the used coiled tubing.

Abstract: An improved radio receiver includes a signal input terminal (105), a variable-current RF signal amplifier (109), a demodulator (127), and a controller (135). The variable-current RF signal amplifier has an input terminal (107) for accepting RF input signals, an output terminal (117) for generating an amplified version of the RF input signals, and a current control terminal for controlling the current consumption of the RF signal amplifier. In response to signals amplified by the RF signal amplifier (109) and demodulated by the demodulator (127), the controller (135) controls (via 113) the current consumed by the variable-current RF signal amplifier to achieve at least a minimum acceptable signal-to-interference ratio for a desired signal, while the Noise Figure is not degraded any more than is necessary to achieve a minimum acceptable signal-to-interference ratio at any given time. In this manner, the variable current RF signal amplifier (109) is adjusted to obtain a required amount of intermodulation performance for a given set of receiving conditions. This technique saves operating current and maintains fade margins because, in practice, interference conditions do not persist all of the time, and are usually of temporary duration.

Abstract: A hydraulic control apparatus for a continuously variable transmission which can produce stable drive pulley pressure and driven pulley pressure and also control the speed change time. The line pressure regulated by the regulator valve 22 is supplied to the control valve 24 DR  of the drive pulley 5 and to the control valve 24 DN  of the driven pulley 7. These control valves regulate the line pressure according to the PB pressure and the PC pressure output from the solenoid valves SOL-B, SOL-C, respectively, and produce the drive pulley pressure P DR  and the driven pulley pressure P DN . When the PB pressure and the PC pressure are both zero, and P DR  = P DN , the control apparatus maintains the same gear ratio. When the PB pressure is increased from zero while keeping the PC pressure at zero, i.e. P DR  > P DN , the gear ratio changes toward the high-speed overdrive. When the PC pressure is increased from zero while holding the PB pressure at zero, i.e. P DR  < P DN , the gear ratio changes toward the low-speed gear.

Abstract: A high performance CMOS process using grown field oxide for active
area isolation takes advantage of process steps used in LDD transistor
fabrication to reduce the chip space occupied by the field oxide. Portions of the
spacer oxide layer are retained intact over the field oxide during the etching step
used to form the oxide spacers on the sides of the polysilicon gates. The
retained spacer oxide portions increase the total oxide thickness in the field area
to effectively block the ion implantation used to form the heavily doped portions
of the source and drain regions. This enables use, in the initial fabrication steps,
of a grown field oxide of reduced thickness and advantageously a
correspondingly reduced width so as to reduce the chip space allocated to the
field oxide.

IPC: G07G1/14
Filed: 1997-02-14
Abstract: A system for generating authorization codes, such as personal identification numbers, at the point of distribution of certificates of value on which the authorization codes are to be printed or otherwise encoded. Because the authorization codes are generated in real time, there is no need to store and safeguard an inventory of preprinted certificates, or even an inventory of activated authorization codes. The principles of the invention apply both to systems for generating incentive award certificates and to systems for generating purchased certificates of value. The incentive awards or certificates of value are tokens of prepayment for a service, such as long-distance telephone service or other service. The authorization codes generated for inclusion with the value certificates are unique and seemingly random. They are generated by taking a non-random unique code, such as a sequence code, and encrypting it to obtain seemingly random, but unique, authorization codes. Because each authorization code is not generated until immediately prior to distribution of the certificate with which the code is associated, security and other problems pertaining to preprinted certificates and cards are eliminated.

Abstract: The method involves processing (17-36) a first signal with time varying values which can lie within or outside a defined base range. A relatively frequently occurring value is selected as a dominance value. The frequency of signals close to the dominance values is determined. The processing steps associated with the value of the first signal are determined from the occurrence of certain values of the first signal, taking into account the dominance value and the frequency value. The performance of the processing steps also depends on the magnitude of the deviation of the dominance value from the base value range if the frequency value at least reaches a predefined value.

Abstract: A drill bit and method of drilling employing a gage definition region on the
bit to relatively gradually and incrementally increase the diameter of the borehole
being drilled from a diameter that is cut by fixed face cutters or rolling cone cutters
on the bit body to a larger diameter. Preferably, the diameter of the gage definition
region defined by cutting structures thereon varies along a longitudinal length of the
bit, being smallest nearest the leading end of the bit. In a preferred embodiment, the
gage definition region includes a plurality of helically arranged cutting elements
disposed around the perimeter of the gage definition region. Such a configuration of
cutting elements helps to reduce the loading on, and wear of, each individual cutting
element. Thus the effective life of the bit is extended by enhancing its ability to drill
the borehole to the gage diameter over a longer interval than may be achieved with
conventional bit designs.
