Title: A Method of Holding a sock of varied length in a comfortable position on the foot during sporting activities and/or prolonged periods of rigorous movement
Inventor: LOWE MARTIN
IPC: D04B1/26
Filed: 2014-08-15
Abstract: A knitted sock e.g. a knitted double layered knitted sock, where the knitted inside face of the sock is in-laid with semi-adhesive fibre 1, 2 to increase the socks grip on the wearers foot. The in-laid semi-adhesive fibre is preferably textured or has adhesive properties such as a silicone based thread that increases the grip, and is in-laid to ensure the fibre sits on top of the knitting yarn on the inside of the sock to ensure the fibre sits on top of the knitted face and is in full contact with the wearers skin. The semi-adhesive fibre can be laid in every course /wale of the sock or over every other course/wale of the sock, depending on the amount of grip required, and may focus on areas of the sock that require increased grip of the sock to the wearers foot e.g. fully encompass the circumference of the wearers foot. Preferably the sock is a standard double layered sports sock, with a face and backing yarn, where the semi-adhesive fibre is in-laid into the backing yarn.

Title: Double-time analysis of oil rig activity
Inventor: JAMES W MOORE
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2013-12-12
Abstract: A method and apparatus for collection and analysis of oil rig activity is described. The method includes collecting wellsite data from a plurality of sources, including real-time data sources and macroscopic reports. In certain embodiments, the collected data may be standardized based on templates specifying data format and presentation. Additionally, the data may be automatically corrected by using data error lists that identify algorithms for diagnosing and correcting errors in the data. Data collected from multiple sources may be time-aligned so that data from different sources may be correlated together by time. In certain embodiments, time aligning the data may include adjusting manually-logged timestamps for events in macroscopic reports based on real-time data. In this way, heterogeneous data from a plurality of sources may be homogenized. Optionally, the homogenized data may be used as inputs for wellsite data analysis or to produce various types of quality reports.

Title: Preparation method of graphene/metal composite board
Inventor: SHAOJIU YAN
IPC: B32B38/00
Filed: 2014-04-11
Abstract: A preparation method of a graphene/metal composite board comprises: first, evenly mixing a monodispersed graphene solution and a polyvinyl alcohol solution to prepare a graphene/polyvinyl alcohol mixed slurry; then spraying the graphene/polyvinyl alcohol mixed slurry to upper and lower surfaces of a metal sheet in a spraying manner, and heating to remove polyvinyl alcohol in a coating; and finally, stacking multiple metal sheets and prepare a graphene composite board by using a hot rolling manner. Dispersion of graphene can be ensured by combining the graphene/polyvinyl alcohol mixed slurry with the metal boards. Then a hot rolling process is used, helping the graphene be evenly dispersed into a board substrate and developing a strengthening effect of the graphene. The method can implement molecule combination of the graphene and the metal boards under a prerequisite of better retaining intrinsic physical properties of the graphene and the metal boards. In addition, a process is simple, preparation of large-size graphene composite boards can be implemented on a large scale, production cost is reduced and a project application prospect in fields such as lightweight armor material, aviation, aerospace and the like is excellent.
