Title: A method and device for monitoring substances
Inventor: MOHAMMAD FARID KHAN
IPC: G01N21/65
Filed: 2015-02-25
Abstract: T The present application relates to methods and devices for monitoring a first substance, in particular products and materials such as pharmaceutical products using spectroscopic analysis of labels of a second substance attached to such a first substance so as to authenticate, track and monitor events subsequent to the manufacture of such substances, products and materials at various points in time and at various locations as they pass through the supply chain. The spectral response of the second substance which acts as a label changes as a function of time e.g. also as a function of temperature and may therefore be used to track the (cumulative) history of the first substance since its manufacture assuming the second substance is positioned proximate to the first substance promptly after such manufacture. The conditions which may be monitored via the response of the first substance are e.g. time, temperature, pressure, humidity and changes in atmospheric gases or radiation exposure.

Title: Remote hydraulic control of downhole tools
Inventor: BENJAMIN EVANS
IPC: E21B41/00
Filed: 2015-04-15
Abstract: A well tool apparatus comprises a control arrangement configured to control response of the downhole tool by varying downhole drilling fluid conditions. The control arrangement includes a valve piston longitudinally slidable in a generally tubular controller housing that is in operation substantially co-axial with the wellbore, to open or close a valve port to a fluid flow connection between the drill strings interior and the tool. A latch mechanism is configured to latch the valve piston in an activated mode and/or a deactivated mode. Unlatching of the valve piston can be effected by displacement thereof in a particular axial direction to a mode change position. A stay member is automatically displaceable in the particular actual direction under hydraulic actuation responsive to above-threshold drilling fluid conditions, to obstruct movement of the valve piston under hydraulic actuation to the mode change position. The stay member can include a lock piston carrying a ball locking mechanism for obstructing axial movement of the valve piston.

Title: Improvements in or relating to well abandonment and slot recovery
Inventor: ROGER LANDMARK
IPC: E21B47/10
Filed: 2017-11-15
Abstract: A method of integrity testing a plug in a wellbore 16 using a work string having an anchor and packer 34 are run in above the plug 10. With the anchor set, a positive pressure test is conducted by pressurising up the string with a lighter fluid 30 to displace the drilling mud 24 from the string. Following the positive pressure test, pressure is bled off to perform the negative pressure test. Pressure can be equalised across the packer to displace the lighter fluid from the well after testing. The wellbore may be formed from a casing which may be cut above the plug and removed following pressure testing. The method allows for positive and negative pressure testing without the requirement to unset and reset the packer between tests.

Title: A Controller and Method for Controlling the Driving Direction of a Vehicle
Inventor: ANDREW FAIRGRIEVE
IPC: B62D15/02
Filed: 2018-02-02
Abstract: A controller 2 controls the direction of a vehicle within a lane based on a first trajectory. Controller 2 can receive a driver input 3 for directing the vehicle along a second trajectory different to the first trajectory, and determines third trajectory data based on comparing data associated with the first trajectory to data associated with the second trajectory, and optionally also taking into account GPS data, data from position sensors, topographical data or historical data. The third trajectory may be the same as or different from the second trajectory. A control signal is generated, based on at least the third trajectory data, for controlling the driving direction of the vehicle by a module 4; typically this will assist in steering the vehicle. The first, second or third trajectory data may be stored in a memory 11.
