Title: Tubular expansion using a collapsible expansion cone
Inventor: WATSON BROCK WAYNE
IPC: E21B43/10
Filed: 2003-02-19
Abstract: A method of radially expanding and plastically deforming an expandable tubular 66 involves supporting the expandable tubular member 66 using a tubular support member 12, fig 10a and a collapsible expansion cone 44. Fluid is injected into the tubular support member 12 and the operating pressure of the injected fluid is sensed within a first interior portion of the tubular support member 12. The collapsible expansion cone 44 is displaced relative to the expandable tubular 66 when the sensed operating pressure of the injected fluid exceeds a predetermined level within the first interior portion of the tubular support member 12. The operating pressure of the fluid is then sensed in a second portion of the tubular support member 12 and the collapsible expansion cone 44 is collapsed when the sensed operating pressure of the injected fluid exceeds a predetermined level within the second interior portion of the tubular support member 12.

Title: Authorising a computing entity using path label sequences
Inventor: LAIN ANTONIO
IPC: G06F21/44
Filed: 2005-10-29
Abstract: Bindings between pairs of computing entities in a network are represented by locally assigned labels. Multiple bindings that traverse a path between entities form a delegation chain of trust that can be validated. When an entity commences a transaction 302 with an authorising entity it presents the delegation chain 304 on which it relies including the labels assigned to the bindings representing the various delegations in the path. The authorising entity derives a path label sequence for the delegation chain 308, e.g. from an X.509 certificate chain, and compares the label sequence against a label sequence template 310 to ensure the chain is permissible. If a matching condition is identified 312 the entity is authorised. The invention may be used to implement an access control list (ACL).

Title: Rotary switch with ratcheting feature
Inventor: FOSTER WILLIAM L
IPC: H01H19/03
Filed: 2005-02-16
Abstract: A rotary switch (102) for an electronic device (100) includes a bump stop (104) that triggers a ratcheting feature when hit. The range of the rotary switch (102) is expanded via the ratcheting feature. The ratcheting feature inhibits scrolling through a device parameter in one rotation direction and enables scrolling through the device parameter in the opposite rotation direction. Depending on which direction the bump stop (104) is hit, the parameter is either incremented or decremented. The range of the rotary switch can also be expanded by modifying the step size of the rotary switch based on the range of a selected parameter (504). The coarse step is then narrowed with each change in rotation direction (510, 518) based on current, previous and useable switch positions (512, 514).

Title: Transmitting DUA messages with protocol identification information
Inventor: LIU YUHONG
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2006-07-13
Abstract: Method and device for transmission of messages based on Digital Private Network Signalling System (DPNSS) / Digital Access Signalling system (DASS) User Adaption Protocol (DUA). Protocol identification information corresponding to different signalling system protocols is set. A message to be transmitted and protocol identification information corresponding to the message are sent to a receiver. The receiver determines the signalling system protocol corresponding to the received message according to the received protocol identification information. It is therefore possible for different signalling protocol messages (e.g. DPNSS or DASS) to be transmitted through the same interface in a network device and the situation that messages of different protocols must be transmitted through different interfaces may be avoided. The present invention can use the interface identifier in the message to implement the transmission of the protocol identification information without any change to the DUA protocol itself, or use the reserved or spare bits ("protocol identification information" bit) in a common message header of the DUA protocol.

Title: Improvements relating to RFID readers
Inventor: WONG CHIEN YAW
IPC: G06K7/01
Filed: 2006-08-10
Abstract: A controller 200, 210 determines which of a plurality of RFID readers 100, 110 may be set to an active condition wherein the reader may transmit a modulated RF interrogation signal for reception by an RFID tag 30 310, 320, and which of said plurality of RFID readers may be set to an alternate condition wherein it may not transmit such a signal. The controller comprises means for communicating a control signal to each RFID reader whereby it may be set to the active condition or the alternate condition, each RFID reader being set to an active condition according to a sequence such that not more than one RFID reader having overlapping coverage is active at once. Collisions between RFID readers having overlapping coverage can thereby be avoided, and one-to-many communication between RFID readers and RFID tags is enabled.

Title: System for managing the cooling of an information handling system by adapting the system profile when the system configuration changes
Inventor: LINDELL DONALD
IPC: H05K7/20
Filed: 2006-11-13
Abstract: Disclosed is a method for managing the cooling of an information handling system, such as a server or blade computer. The information handling system has a housing, such as a rack or cabinet, in which the processing elements or components of the system are placed. Placed inside the housing is a cooling fan near the processing elements to provide a cooling airflow. The fan is controlled by a management processor that selects the speed of the fan based on the environmental conditions detected and a cooling (or thermal) profile of the information handling system. The cooling profile of the system is provided by a cooling profile engine that can adjust the profile when a change to the processing elements or the hardware configuration in the housing is detected. When a new element is added the profile may be adjusted by obtaining the profile of the new element either from the element or from an online database eg from the server network.

Patent GB-2432864-A (GB)
Title: Expandable injector pipe
Inventor: WEIRICH JOHN B
IPC: E21B43/10
Filed: 2005-08-05
Abstract: An expandable injector pipe has openings (60) and a cover sleeve (62) preferably secured at opposed ends with offset openings (64). Expansion of the base pipe causes the cover sleeve to expand while keeping the openings in the cover sleeve misaligned with the openings in the base pipe. Pressure from within the base pipe flexes the resilient cover sleeve to allow fluid to exit through the cover sleeve. Upon removal of applied pressure, the cover sleeve moves back against the base pipe to cover the openings in the base pipe to prevent flow in the reverse direction.

Title: Hydraulic system with bypass for conditioning fluid
Inventor: FLEISCHMANN STEVE GARY
IPC: F15B21/04
Filed: 2007-06-19
Abstract: A hydraulic system for a work machine operates to condition (eg filter) hydraulic fluids supplied by a positive displacement pump 14 when there is no demand on the pump for the hydraulic fluid by the hydraulic functions 16 of the work machine. This is achieved by positioning of the fluid conditioning circuit 18 between a closed-center directional control valve used in the work machine and the hydraulic fluid reservoir and by detecting via detector 27 if there is a demand on the pump for hydraulic fluid. If there was no demand, hydraulic fluid is directed to the fluid conditioning circuit via a bypass system 22 which is not in communication with any of the hydraulic functions of the work machine, the bypass system comprising a valve 24 controlled by a pilot or detector 27.
