Title: Well casing integrity monitoring system
Inventor: OGLE PETER C
IPC: E21B47/00
Filed: 2004-05-18
Abstract: Improved methods and apparatuses for directly monitoring well casing strain and structural integrity are disclosed that allows for monitoring of potentially damaging strain from any orientation or mode and over long stretches of well casing. In a preferr ed embodiment, optical fiber sensors are housed within a housing and attached to the exteri or surface of the casing. The sensors may be aligned parallel, perpendicular, or at an appropriate angle to the axis of the casing to detect axial, hoop, and shear stresses respectively. The sensors are preferably interferometrically interrogatable and are capable of measuring both static and dynamic strains such as those emitted from microfractures in the well casing. Analysis of microfracture-induced acoustics includes techniques for assessment of relatively high frequencies indicative of the presence of microfractures. Assessment of the timing of the arrival of such acoustics at various sensors deployed along the casing further allows for the location of strain to be pinpointed.

Abstract: A device for dispensing liquids from under the rim of a toilet bowl is disclosed. The dispensing device includes a reservoir for holding a liquid, a wick, and means for suspending the reservoir from the toilet bowl rim. The wick transports the liquid upward from the reservoir to a position at or above an upper surface of the reservoir. During a toilet flush, flush water washes liquid on the upper surface of the reservoir and/or liquid on the wick into the toilet bowl. The wick is formed from a hydrophobic material in order to repel flush water so that flush water does not travel down the side of the wick and dilute the liquid in the reservoir with flush water. In another aspect, the suspension means and/or the entire device is not visible from above the rim of the toilet bowl when the dispensing device is installed on the rim.

Abstract: Methods and devices are provided for efficient transmission of data between storage area networks. According to some aspects of the invention, novel methods are provided for processing data packets sent by, or received from, a storage area network. Some such aspects of the invention involve storing a packet (or a portion of a packet) in a single memory location during an encapsulation or de-encapsulation process. Instead of repeatedly copying the packet during processing, pointer information is passed along that indicates the single memory location. In some aspects of the invention, the segment boundaries of a packet are retained after data transmission. If data in the packet need to be re-transmitted, the packet is re-transmitted with the same segment boundaries. Some aspects of the invention provide a "slim" TCP stack without a socket layer.
