Patent CA-2674627-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MALLADI DURGA PRASAD
IPC: H04L5/02
Filed: 2008-01-17
Abstract: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate transmitting and receiving control data according to hopping patterns where the hopping patterns are defined based in part on bandwidth capabilities of a device transmitting the control data and bandwidth of the network on which the data is being transmitted. In this regard, devices having lower bandwidth capabilities than the network can hop within given frequency blocks reserved for control data assuming the blocks are no greater than the bandwidth of the device. Devices having greater or substantially equal bandwidth capabilities as the network can hop across disparate frequency blocks of the network reserved for control data as the device can handle substantially any hop in frequency. This preserves frequency diversity for control channels in multiple device types regardless of device bandwidth capabilities.

Abstract: A down hole apparatus for generating a pulsing action includes a tubular housing a rotating first mandrel with a first cam profile and a reciprocating second mandrel with a second cam profile, which engages the first cam profile. Upon rotational movement of the first mandrel, the first cam profile exerts an axial force upon the second cam profile to initiate a pulsing action by forcing the second mandrel away from the first mandrel.  Springs bias the second mandrel back toward the first mandrel, thereby completing the pulsing action and maintaining the second cam profile engaged with the first cam profile.

Abstract: To perform distributed sensing with an optical fiber using Brillouin scattering, a light pulse is transmitted into the optical fiber, where the transmitted light pulse has a first frequency. Backscattered light and optical local oscillator light are combined, where the backscattered light is received from the optical fiber in response to the transmitted light pulse, and where the optical local oscillator light has a second frequency. A frequency offset is caused to be present between the first frequency of the transmitted light pulse and the second frequency of the optical local oscillator light, where the frequency offset is at least 1 GHz less than a Brillouin frequency shift of the backscattered light. Spectra representing Stokes and anti Stokes components of the backscattered light are acquired, where the Stokes and anti Stokes components are separated by a frequency span that is based on the frequency offset.
