Inventor: MONTGOMERY CARL T
IPC: E21B43/28
Filed: 2003-10-24
Abstract: A method for enhancing the productivity of a subterranean well comprising passing a solvent out of a string of production casing through perforations proximate an unfractured soluble formation, dissolving a region of the soluble formation to create a cavity therein, and increasing the size of the cavity until the subterranean formation proximate the cavity collapses. The solvent used will depend on the material of the formation. Normally the formation is a carbonate formation and the solution is an acid with a concentration of 5-15% by volume. When the formation collapses there is an increase in the formation conductivity.

Title: Calibration of string of filters and amplifiers in QAM receiver whose delay is tested against target to decide adjustment of filter capacitance
Inventor: UCHITOMI TAKESHI
IPC: H04L27/38
Filed: 2005-03-31
Abstract: A QAM receiver includes a cascade of alternating low pass filters (LPF11-14) and variable gain amplifiers (PGA11-13) in each of the I and Q channels emanating from the downshifting of a received signal. In order to compensate for manufacturing tolerances and other variations the cascade is calibrated by comparing (LMT1,2 and D-FF) its overall delay with a target (DPS). This is performed at start up by applying a reference clock signal (CLK0) to the circuit. Based on this comparison a control circuit (260) increments of decrements the capacitance of each of the filters until the desired delay is achieved. The register (REG) stores the desired capacitance value while the decoder (DEC) translates it into instruction for the individual capacitor switches.
