Title: Injection moulding method
Inventor: CLARKE PETER REGINALD
IPC: B29B11/08
Filed: 2010-09-30
Abstract: During the injecting step of an injection moulding method a movable portion 20 of one of first and second mould parts is moved from a forward position, defining the article to be moulded, to a rearward position to increase the volume of the mould cavity. This reduces the flow length/thickness ratio of the cavity. After filling the mould cavity, the movable portion is returned from the rearward position to the forward position expelling excess molten material back through the injection inlet 5, which is preferably valveless. The movable portion 20 may be urged to its forward position by a pneumatic or hydraulic pressure actuator 45 operating at a pressure of less than 20 bar and the ratio of the actuator area and the area of the movable portion is preferably less than 20:1. The movable portion may be returned against a holding pressure of the injected material which is selected to accommodate shrinkage. The method may be used to produce polyester, particularly PET, pre-forms for blow moulding into thin-walled containers.

Title: Method of detecting fluid in-flows downhole
Inventor: FIDAN ERKAN
IPC: E21B47/04
Filed: 2010-02-09
Abstract: A method of measuring fluid in-flow in a region of interest in a wellbore comprises deploying a fiber optic cable concurrently with placement of a downhole tubular, transmitting a light signal along the cable and receiving a reflected signal from the region of interest, and interpreting the received signal to obtain innformation about fluid flowing in the region of interest.

Title: Displaying plotted trend data at varying resolutions
Inventor: BOLTON JERED STACEY
IPC: G06T11/20
Filed: 2011-08-11
Abstract: Browser-based software uses image tiling techniques to display interactive charts of large scale, time-based datasets.Â  A server dynamically generates image tiles at the server, which tiles are then selectively called up and downloaded to a client system for display. The server operates to consolidate requested data into averaged data points and then renders an overall graphic representation by appropriately assembling the average data pointsÂ into discrete tiles.Â  Mapping-based tiling software at the client system assembles a composite image of a portion of a chart/graph for a user-selected region at a selected resolution within a viewport of predetermined size; this considerably improves graph interaction and reduces rendering times over existing Flash-based solutions.Â  Further, the server is configured to pre-empt selection of any particular area by generating a further sub-layer of tiles that would, upon request, be immediately downloadable to the client system.Â  The system may also render the image such that a selected point of interest appears at the same position regardless of resolution level or number of tiles in the rendered image.
