Title: Unified messaging system transmitting voice over IP packet data in burst mode
Inventor: CHUN JOON-SUNG
IPC: H04M3/533
Filed: 2004-12-01
Abstract: A system and a method provide Unified Messaging System (UMS) services using VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol). When a subscriber wishes to listen to voice mail box messages stored in a VoIP system, he connects to a VoIP-based Unified Messaging System (VoIP-UMS) 50 via a VoIP gateway 40. The VoIP-UMS is adapted to transmit recorded VoIP voice packet data, in burst mode, over IP network 60, to the VoIP gateway 40 which stores the received data in a buffer (44, fig. 3). The gateway includes a digital signal processor (DSP 45, fig.3) which converts the buffered data into voice data (eg PCM data) for transmission to the subscriber via a telephone network. The interval and size at which bursts are sent from the VoIP-UMS may be controlled such that the VoIP packet data stored in the gateway buffer does not drop below a reference value, or may alternatively be based upon the size of the gateway buffer. Eliminates the delay and jitter noise associated with conventional VoIP packet transmission.

Title: Downlink telemetry
Inventor: FINKE MICHAEL DEWAYNE
IPC: E21B47/18
Filed: 2002-02-13
Abstract: A downlink telemetry method or system for achieving simultaneous bi-directional communication between a surface system and a downhole assembly is characterised by transmitting and receiving uplink and downlink pulses within different frequency bands. Computer commands to downlink signals may be transmitted locally or from a location remote from the drilling site. The pulses may be pressure pulses from surface equipment to a downhole assembly. The apparatus comprises a surface transmitter 6 for generating pressure pulses, a control system 90 and a downhole receiver 21 for receiving and decoding pulses. A bypass valve 7 may be opened and closed to create a series of pressure pulses to be transmitted. The method allows downlink communication without interrupting drilling. An algorithm allows for filtering and decoding the downlink signals. The algorithm determines the time intervals between pulse peaks and decodes the intervals into an instruction. The algorithm also includes error checking for verifying that the instruction was properly received downhole. The system may use preprogrammed lookup tables.

Title: Sealing arrangement of a high pressure hydraulic breech mechanism
Inventor: TRENDALL SIMON
IPC: F41A3/54
Filed: 2005-04-12
Abstract: By providing an annular chamber 7 and a vent 11 to the radial gap between bolt 10 and high pressure cylinder 3, located between a seal 8 and a body of fluid 13 the operating range of the seal 8 will not be exceeded. The flow rate of fluid from reservoir 13 into the annular chamber 7 is resrtricted by the radial gap between bolt 10 and high pressure cylinder 3 . The cross sectional area of both annular chamber 7 and vent 11 are greater than that of the radial gap between bolt 10 and high pressure cylinder 3 therefore fluid cannot enter annular chamber 7 at sufficient rate to cause a pressure rise in annular chamber 7 thus seal 8 is isolated from fluid at pressures above its safe operating range . Similar protection may be applied to any seal in the mechanism.

Title: Enhanced discovery service using template object
Inventor: HONG XU EMILY
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2005-04-15
Abstract: A mechanism provides a user's web service provider's (WSP's) (210) access information to a web service consumer (WSC) (204). A directory service provider (DSP) (208) receives, from a WSC (204), a request for a particular user's WSP (210) access information. The request contains identifying information that is associated with the particular user. A repository (214) indicates, for each user, an associated user characteristic. Each user characteristic is associated with a separate template object that indicates one or more WSP instances' access information. In response to receiving the request, the DSP (208) determines, from the repository (214), the user characteristic that is associated with the particular user. The DSP (208) sends, in a response to the WSC's (204) request, the one or more WSP (210) instances' access information that is indicated in the template object that is associated with the particular user's associated user characteristic. The WSC (204) may use the WSP (210) access information to direct a query to a particular WSP (210). One or more users may thereby be associated with one or more WSPs (210); thus reconfiguration of either can be achieved by merely reconfiguring a template.

Title: Phase Detector and Phase Locked Loop
Inventor: BURDETT ALISON
IPC: H03L7/085
Filed: 2007-08-28
Abstract: A phase detector is provided, suitable for use in a phase locked loop (PLL) in a frequency synthesizer. The phase detector comprises a phase-frequency detector (2) providing output pulses (UP, DN), whose widths represent the relative frequencies and phases of input signals (FREF, Fvco). The output pulses are supplied to a pulse width to current converter (15, 16), which continuously supplies a direct output current to the output (VCO control) of the phase detector. The direct output current is a continuous monotonic function of the pulse width of the pulses (UP, DN) from the phase-frequency detector (2). The converter (15, 16) may include integrators for integrating the UP and DN pulses and transconductance amplifier circuits for supply the continuous output current (fig.7). The continuously-variable, continuous output current removes the frequency modulation effect of a varying VCO control voltage. Frequency spurs resulting from such modulation are thereby substantially eliminated.
