Title: An impacting device for testing structures
Inventor: HOLDEN ANTHONY CHARLES
IPC: G01N29/04
Filed: 1991-07-03
Abstract: A device for testing structures comprises an arm 12 which is pivotally mounted to a support structure 14. The arm 12 has a surface contacting member 22 at a first end of the arm 12 and a coil of wire 24 at a second end of the arm 12. The arm 12 has a projection 32 which extends between two stops 34, 36 from the first end of the arm 12. An accelerometer 38 is coupled to the arm 12 to provide an electrical signal indicative of surface stiffness when the surface contacting member 22 strikes a composite structure. The coil 24 is positioned in a magnetic field produced by permanent magnets (Fig 2 not shown 31A, 31B), and a first current supplied to the coil 24 causes the arm 12 to pivot from a position against the stop 34 towards the stop 36 so that the member 22 strikes a composite structure. The coil 24 is isolated after the first current to prevent back e.m.f.s damping the free flight of the arm for uniform impact velocity. A second current causes the arm to return to a position adjacent the stop 34. <IMAGE>

Title: Program calling with data protection
Inventor: KARGER PAUL ASHLEY
IPC: G06F9/40
Filed: 1992-06-18
Abstract: A digital data processing system includes a stack through which cross-domain transfer information is passed from a calling program in one domain for use in connection with a called program in another domain. When the calling program needs to call the other program, information is pushed on the cross-domain call stack, including a capability 24 identifying data to be used by the called program and a flag 27 whose condition indicates whether the capability is to be erased on return. Means inaccessible to both the calling and called programs identifies registers whose contents are to be unavailable to the called program. The system saves and clears the identified registers by use of a mask 34 when transferring control from the calling program to the called program, and restores the saved registers when transferring control from the called program to the calling program, the restored registers containing values to be used by the calling program after it has resumed control. During the cross-domain return operation, the condition of the flag determines whether the capability is to be cleared. <IMAGE>

Title: Automatic detection of kind of cable converter unit coupled to a vcr.
Inventor: FURREY JOHN HOMER
IPC: H04N5/00
Filed: 1992-12-10
Abstract: A VCR 200, remotely-controllable (via 204), controls a cable box 210 (via 214, 212), and monitors television signals received from the cable box in a "closed loop" manner. By monitoring an appropriate signal the VCR can detect momentary loss of signal which indicates that the cable box has changed channels. Thus, the apparatus can automatically determine the proper control code format for the cable box by issuing a channel change command and observing if the cable box responds to the channel change command. The VCR causes an on-semen display of an error message if it determines that it is unable to control the cable box after trying various possible formats. <IMAGE>

Filed: 1993-01-25
Abstract: An anisotropically loaded helix assembly for use in a travelling-wave tube includes a helix circuit 12 concentrically supported within a conductive cylindrical housing 10 by a plurality of dielectric support members 16, preferably composed of aluminium nitride, and on which conductive material 18 is deposited directly, as by silk screening, on to the dielectric support members in order to provide an anisotropic load. As shown in Fig. 2, the conductive coating 18, eg formed of copper or gold, is U-shaped and formed on the three sides of the support member 18 not contacting the helix. Alternatively, Fig. 5, the support members 36 may be T-shaped with the conductive coating 38 formed in separate parts. In other arrangements, eg. Fig. 7 (not shown), the conductive coating may be shaped, eg tapered, to provide a variable impedance. A sub-assembly of a helix attached to three dielectric support rods having the conductive coating may be assembled in a cylindrical housing by elastically deforming the housing in three regions to permit unhindered insertion of the sub-assembly therein, and upon removal of the deforming forces the cylindrical housing returns to its nominal shape thus compressing, and securing, the sub-assembly therein. <IMAGE>

Title: Selective zonal isolation of oil wells
Inventor: VERCAEMER CLAUDE JOSEPH
IPC: E21B33/134
Filed: 1994-06-23
Abstract: In the horizontal parts of deviated wells arranged within a producing formation, good communication between the formation and the wellbore liner is required, and this may be achieved by using a slotted or perforated liner in the horizontal section without any cementing to bond the liner to the wellbore. However, problems can arise if it is desired to work selectively in a zone in the horizontal section, since with a perforate liner there is no way of isolating the zone from the remainder of the well by using internal packers. The present invention suggests novel means of zonal isolation in a well with a perforate liner 12, this isolation being achieved by using a liquid composition that can be pumped into the relevant annular region between the liner and the wellbore and there set to form a plug that prevents communication from one side to the other except via the liner. More specifically, the invention provides a method of placing a plug around a perforate liner in which: a pair of spaced packers (14, 16) are placed inside the liner (12) to define both a chamber (20) inside the liner which includes a perforation (22) and also a region to be plugged outside the liner; a predetermined volume of plugging fluid is pumped into the chamber and, via the perforation, into the region to be plugged; and after the plugging fluid has set the packers are removed from the liner. <IMAGE>
