Title: Simulcasting conditional access channel service offerings for video delivery in a telecommunications network
Inventor: KOUKARINE STANISLAV
IPC: H04H20/22
Filed: 2013-03-27
Abstract: A telecommunications system utilizes switched video technologies to deploy video programming over a second conditional access system (CAS) in parallel with video programming broadcast over an incumbent CAS. The programming content is switched onto the second CAS  only when requested by a subscriber, thus the content deployed over the second CAS  occupies a fraction of the transport channels the first CAS occupies. A full channel lineup can be simulcast using a fraction of the traditional CAS bandwidth. This arrangement permits subscriber set top boxes to be configured for either the traditional CAS protocol or the second CAS  protocol. In one embodiment, the second CAS programming content is simulcast in parallel with the traditional programming content using spare transport channels in the existing RF  spectrum. Thus, the cable television operator can incorporate the SDV technology and second CAS without replacement of or disruption to the traditional CAS equipment.

Patent CA-2819164-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ADAMS JOHN R
IPC: E21B47/06
Filed: 2011-12-15
Abstract: A new approach is disclosed for measuring the pressure of tight gas reservoirs, using information obtain from continuous injection prior to hydraulic fracture stimulation. The technique can be obtained utilizing either bottom-hole or surface pressure gauges and properly instrumented surface injection pumps. The analysis is completed by plotting injection and rate data in a specialized form from terms arranged in Darcy's radial flow equation to obtain a curve or trend. The key component to proper application of this technique is to obtain both baseline and one or more calibration data sets. These calibration data sets are obtained by either increasing or decreasing the injection pressure and / or rate from the baseline data. Initial reservoir pressure is assumed, but the calibration data indicates if the guess was too high or low. Accurate estimates of reservoir pressure may be obtained in a few iterations.
