Title: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for real-time oil and gas field production optimization using a proxy simulator
Inventor: JOHNSON WILLIAM DOUGLAS
IPC: E21B49/00
Filed: 2007-01-31
Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media are provided for real-time oil and gas field production optimization using a proxy simulator. A base model (30) of a reservoir (100), well (100), pipeline network (100), or processing system (100) is established in one or more physical simulators (26). A  decision management system (24) is used to define control parameters, such as valve settings (410), for matching with observed data (114). A proxy model is used to fit the control parameters to outputs of the physical simulators (26), determine sensitivities of the control parameters, and compute correlations between the control parameters and output data from the simulators (26).  Control parameters for which the sensitivities are below a threshold are eliminated. The decision management system (24) validates control parameters which are output from the proxy model in the simulators (26). The proxy model may be used for predicting future control settings for the control parameters.

Abstract: A single use, hermetically sealing mousetrap is provided. The mousetrap includes a housing defining an enclosure which is accessible through a rotatably mounted door controlled by a spring-loaded door opening gear mechanism. When a setting axel/kill bar is moved to the set position, the door opening gear mechanism causes the door to open while tensioning a torsional door spring. When a bait pedal inside the housing is triggered by a mouse, a trip latch is released, moving the kill bar rapidly into a kill position while releasing the door opening mechanism, thereby closing the door. With the door closed, the enclosure is hermetically sealed with the dead mouse inside and the trap can be disposed of without any contact between the user and the carcass along with any parasites and pathogens associated therewith.

Patent CA-2685251-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TOWE BRUCE C
IPC: A61B5/308
Filed: 2008-05-02
Abstract: The invention relates to wireless biotelemetry of low level bioelectric and biosensor signals by means of directly modulating the backscatter of a resonant circuit. Low level electrical analog or digital signals are directly applied to a resonant circuit containing a voltage-variable capacitor such as a varactor diode, that proportionally shifts the resonant frequency and so amplitude of radiofrequency backscatter in a way that represents analog bioelectric or biosensor waveform data. By strongly driving the resonant circuit with a radiofrequency source, a voltage variable capacitance can be caused to amplify the bio-signal level by a parametric process and so provide sufficient sensitivity to telemeter for low millivolt and microvolt level signals without additional amplification. A feature of the device is its simplicity and that it accomplishes both modulation and preamplification of low level sensor signals by the same variable capacitance circuit which reduces the device size and power consumption.
