Title: Shear activated safety valve system
Inventor: WRIGHT ADAM D
IPC: E21B34/04
Filed: 2010-05-07
Abstract: Well safety valve system includes first 16 and second 18 safety valves. Each valve has an actuator 38 with a line 30 linking the actuators. The actuators 38 are biased to close their respective valves when the line 30 is opened. The biasing force is produced at least partially by the hydrostatic pressure in the well. Fluid in line 30 can be pressurized above hydrostatic pressure by a biasing force 58 and may be free of any connection to the surface. A latch assembly can enable disconnect and connect the valves from one another. A further independent claim concerns a safety valve with one valve and actuator with a line extending from the actuator through a device which opens the line to operate the valve where the line has no fluid communication with a surface control system.

Title: Measuring Activity of a Tracer in Medical Imaging
Inventor: KELLY MATTHEW DAVID
IPC: G06T5/50
Filed: 2012-05-31
Abstract: The activity of a tracer in a subject in a medical imaging protocol (e.g. whole body dynamic scan, PET scan) are measured. Comparable features in each of a time series of image data sets (e.g. sequential bed positions) of the subject are detected. A first activity value for a first region of interest containing a first of the features in a first image data set is obtained (206), and a size of the first feature is measured. The first activity value is then modified (208) using the measured size of the first feature. A second activity value for a second region of interest containing a second of the features in a second image data set is obtained (214). The modified first activity value and the second activity value are then combined (216) to produce a measure of activity of the tracer over the time series. The second activity value may be obtained by modifying an activity value for the second region of interest using a measured size of the second feature. The combined region of interest may be the blood pool of the subject, and the comparable features may be features of the circulatory system of the subject.
