Title: Multiple phase fraction meter having compliant mandrel deployed within fluid conduit
Inventor: GYSLING DANIEL L
IPC: E21B47/12
Filed: 2004-03-05
Abstract: A hollow mandrel 4 is deployed within a production pipe 10 at least partly within the length of a speed of sound or phase fraction meter 3. The sensors 30 of the meter 3 comprise Bragg gratings and wraps of fibre optic cable whose lengths are sensitive to acoustic pressure disturbances in the pipe. The speed of sound is measured in a region of the conduit 6 which does not contain the mandrel and also in a region 5 which does contain the mandrel and therefore has a different compliance to region 5. From these two speed of sound measurements and from computing the two compliances, the density of the fluid mixture is calculated, which allows computation of phase fractions of a three phase fluid. A passive fibre optic based flow velocity meter may be provided (8, figure 2), and the mandrel 4 may be shaped to form an annular venturi meter (fig 3B) to provide an alternative means of calculating the fluid mixture density for double checking or calibration.

Title: Configuring a spanning tree
Inventor: PERLMAN RADIA J
IPC: H04L12/46
Filed: 2004-09-15
Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that prevents loops from occurring when spanning tree configuration messages are lost while executing a spanning tree protocol on bridges in a network. During operation, the system executes the spanning tree protocol on a bridge 302. This spanning tree protocol configures each port coupled to the bridge into either a forwarding state, in which messages are forwarded to and from the port, or a backup state, in which messages are not forwarded to or from the port. The system also monitors ports coupled to the bridge 304 to determine when messages are lost by the ports. If one or more messages are lost on a port 306, the system refrains from forwarding messages to or from the port until no messages are lost by the port for an amount of time 308.

Title: Woven fabric with stiff weft and warp fibres
Inventor: MACGUINNESS THOMAS PETER
IPC: D03D15/02
Filed: 2006-02-03
Abstract: A fabric (10) for an animal rug, having a mesh pattern of a size suitable for preventing penetration and biting by insects, has a mesh of woven fibres (11) with each weft (13) and warp (14) being formed from a soft, inner, multifilament fibre (15) sandwiched between a pair of relatively stiffer, outer, monofilament fibres (16). The fabric (10) is strong and stable, yet soft and light, and it is also absorbent. The outer, monofilament fibres provide the stability of the mesh pattern by locking the soft, inner, multifilament fibre (15) in place. However, a certain amount of movement between the wefts and the warps is possible resulting in a fabric, which will mould around the body of the animal.

Title: Signalling resource allocations to localised and distributed users
Inventor: CHAPMAN THOMAS MALCOLM
IPC: H04W28/16
Filed: 2006-02-07
Abstract: A method of resource allocation in a communication system comprises setting specific time and frequency chunks within a band to provide localised, i.e. contiguous groups of tones, and distributed, i.e. non-contiguous tones distributed across a certain bandwidth, resources for localised and distributed users. The signalling of resource allocation, preferably including modulation type, duration of allocation, UE identifier, for each user is in the chunk at the same frequency range of the allocated resource, or a subset of the frequency range. Each chunk may comprise a number of tones during a specified time period. The invention may be used in Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) downlink as proposed for UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN) Long Term Evolution (LTE), in which localised and distributed transmission are suggested for data transmission.

Title: Multi-cylinder, free-piston, alpha Stirling machine with stepped pistons
Inventor: BERCHOWITZ DAVID M
IPC: F02G1/053
Filed: 2006-08-09
Abstract: A free-piston Stirling machine has at least three pistons 56 series connected in an alpha Stirling configuration (figure 5). Each cylinder is stepped so that it has two sections 52, 54 with different diameters. Each piston is also stepped 58, 60 so that, together with the cylinder, it defines a smaller diameter chamber 64 and a second, annular chamber 68. One of the chambers is the compression space and the other is the expansion space. In this way, the compression and expansion spaces formed by a piston are in phase with each other, (rather than 180 degrees out of phase in a conventional machine where the compression and expansion spaces are on opposite sides of the piston. This arrangement allows high efficiency machines with only 3 cylinders. Also described is a four cylinder in-line arrangement in a 1, 3, 2, 4 series sequence to improve balancing.
