Title: Priority and security encoding system for electronic mail messages
Inventor: BYERS CHARLES CALVIN
IPC: G06Q10/10
Filed: 1999-08-30
Abstract: The priority and security encoding system for electronic mail messages functions to ascribe a message characterization code to the electronic mail message that enables the router as well as the destination message server to more efficiently process the electronic mail message, based upon the message characterization code. The message characterization code is assigned by the message originator, or the message server that serves the message originator, to identify the nature of the electronic mail message. The message characterization code can be defined to denote any one or more message related factors, such as: message content, identification of the message originator, identification of the message recipient, or other message processing factors. The message characterizing code is used by the message routers, network nodes, and destination message server to prioritize the processing of electronic mail messages and optionally provide subscriber defined alternate routing of certain classes of messages. This message characterizing code can also be used to automatically initiate various electronic message security measures to safeguard the most sensitive classes of messages, without the need for subscriber intervention.

Title: Control and monitoring system for chemical treatment of an oilfield well
Inventor: JOHNSON MICHAEL H
IPC: E21B47/06
Filed: 1998-05-21
Abstract: A control and monitoring system for chemical system for chemical treatment of an oilfield well is presented. In accordance with the present invention, a chemical injection monitoring and control system includes the placement of one or more sensors downhole in a producing zone for measuring the chemical properties of the produced fluid as well as for measuring other downhold parameters of interest. These sensors are preferably fiber optic based and provide a high temperature, reliable, and relatively inexpensive indicator of the desired chemical parameter. Surface and/or downhold controllers receive input from the several downhole sensors; and in response thereto, control the injection of chemicals into a wellbore and/or surface treatment system.    By the sensors communicating with both the surface and/or downhole controllers, the effectiveness of the downhole or surface treatment system is monitored in real-time and based on the sensed information, the controllers will initiate some change in the manner, amount, or type of the chemical being injected.
Patent CA-2294844-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SEJA WERNER
IPC: G01S7/00
Filed: 1998-06-15
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for monitoring data flow, specially to provide radar data for air traffic control systems. In order to detect data supply failures and to provide an automatic replacement supply, the data which is transmitted is computed at the output of the data transmission device at parameterable time intervals, whereupon the data flow is reproduced, the measuring values are stored during several intervals and compressed into an average value. When a new value is inputted, the oldest value is erased. The average value is used as a starting value for a sensitivity curve which generates a time window for periodic comparison of added measuring values for an error detector which signalizes a total failure of measuring values in a predetermined time unit and initiates a selection mode to access a predefined data source in an appropriate data network and the data is inputted into the respective data supply system via interfaces.
