Title: System and method to generate molecular formula distributions beyond a predetermined threshold for a petroleum stream
Inventor: SAEGER ROLAND B
IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 2013-05-17
Abstract: Methods for generating molecular formula distributions beyond a predetermined threshold for a petroleum stream are disclosed. An initial molecular formula distribution within a predetermined threshold is obtained for a petroleum stream. A correlation between two or more molecular properties of the initial molecular formula distribution is identified, and the initial molecular formula distribution is extrapolated beyond the predetermined threshold along the correlation. The extrapolated molecular formula is renormalized based on renormalized based on renormalization data obtained from the sample. The renormalized molecular formula distribution can then be blended with the initial molecular formula distribution, reconciled to secondary analytical measurements, and/or used to create a model of composition and/or a molecular composition-based model of a resid upgrading process. Systems for implementing the methods are also disclosed.

Title: Blown insulation apparatus and method
Inventor: MILLHOUSE JAMES STEPHEN
IPC: E04G21/06
Filed: 2014-11-28
Abstract: The subject apparatus is designed to facilitate the installation of blown insulation during construction of building assemblies. In a typical embodiment, there is provided a length or strip of friction clip configured to provide a tight grip along the outer surface of a framing member such as a stud, thereby maintaining tension on a masking film or web thereby affixed to an array of studs. The masking film arrayed in such manner thereby defines a plurality of voids or cavities which may thereafter be filled with blown insulation and then finished with wall paneling. The friction clips are designed to complement conventional framing members. Thus, one embodiment described below is suitable for a solid stud such as lumber or polymer; other embodiments are designed to be affixed to steel light framing members such as C-studs and similar profiles.

Abstract: This wireless communication method suppresses the impact of interference even when different DL/UL configurations are applied at neighboring transmission/reception points (wireless base stations). In a wireless communication system in which wireless base stations communicate by time-division duplexing with user terminals and each wireless base station individually varies the DL/UL configuration, this wireless communication method involves a step in which each wireless base station measures the amount of interference from another wireless base station, a step in which, on the basis of said measured interference amount, a change request signal requesting a change of the DL/UL configuration and/or a change in the transmission power is transmitted to the other wireless base station, and a step in which the other wireless base station which receives the change request signal changes the DL/UL configuration and/or the transmission power to communicate with the user terminal.
