Abstract: A multi-functional apparatus and method for drilling fluid and cementing
operations to set casing in a wellbore for use on either top drive or rotary type rigs.
The apparatus and method includes a fill-up and circulating tool, a cementing head
assembly, and a wiper plug assembly. The fill-up and circulating tool comprises a
mandrel with a packer cup fixedly attached to a sliding sleeve disposed about the
outside diameter of the mandrel. The cementing head and wiper plug assemblies are
useable on any fill-up and circulating tool capable of being inserted into a casing. To
fill the casing, the assembly is lowered from the rig such that a portion of the fill-up tool
is inserted into the casing, the pumps are then actuated to flow fluid into the casing. To
circulate fluid, the tool is lower further such that the packer cup sealingly engages the
inside diameter of the casing to allow fluid to flow through the casing, into the wellbore,
and back to the fluid pumps. To cement the casing, the cement pump and hose
assembly is connected to the cementing head to allow cement to be pumped through
the fill-up and circulating tool and into the casing string. A cement plug assembly
comprising a plurality of wiper plugs is connected to the outlet of the fill-up and
circulating tool. The wiper plugs are then released at a predetermined time during the
cementing process to provide a positive seal at the bottom of the casing string.

Abstract: A method of and apparatus (10) for monitoring the processing of a multifilament yam (11) to
indicate a number of protrusions in the yam (11) is provided. In this method, a multifilament
yam (11) is passed through a light beam (13) directed from a light emitting device (12) to a

Title: A pizza making method and system
Inventor: TORGHELE CLAUDIO
IPC: A21C9/04
Filed: 2002-06-10
Abstract: The invention provides an automated method and apparatus for pizza production, initiated by individual order placement and using only fresh ingredients (no ingredients are frozen, pre-prepared or pre-cooked). Each dough portion is individually and mechanically prepared from flour and other fresh, pre-proportioned ingredients. The dough portion passes through a series of shaping and pre-heating processing stations to prepare a flattened and partially baked pizza base. Using a preheated or continuously heated conveying tray, the pizza base passes under a number of metering and distribution devices for selected application of tomato sauce and/or various other toppings according to the order. Baking occurs in one of multiple ovens to complete pizza preparation. Multiple ovens are provided to facilitate the automated preparation of multiple pizzas. A tray conveying system transports one or more trays through the various processing stations to accommodate multiple orders at the same time.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for estimating mobile station location include receiving reported signal strengths or other attachment indicator values from a mobile station. The reported signal strengths are compared with characteristic received signal strength values in a coverage area of a mobile network. A mobile switching center determines if a location function is requested and initiates a location estimation process by a mobile location module (MLM). The MLM receives the reported signal strength contours associated with the attachment points. Based on a comparison of the reported attachment indicator values with characteristic values, the MLM provides a mobile location estimate.
