Title: Actuator for a pilot valve
Inventor: CHRISTOPHER KENNELL
IPC: F16K31/124
Filed: 2019-06-06
Abstract: A pilot valve 26 includes a housing 2, a piston 4 movably mounted in the housing 2 and an actuator chamber 20 defined between the piston 4 and the housing 2. The actuator 1 includes a control fluid feed 16 for introducing a fluid into the actuator chamber 20 to control fluid pressure, with the fluid pressure acting on the piston 4.

Title: Downhole tool
Inventor: LAWRENCE TILL
IPC: H01L35/00
Filed: 2020-06-23
Abstract: Provided is a downhole tool 22 with a housing 24; a fluid flow passage 28 located within the housing, through which a fluid flows in a direction away from the surface; and at least one thermoelectric generator 30 located between the passage and the housing. The generator generates electricity when there is a temperature difference between fluid within the fluid flow passage, and fluid in contact with the outside of the housing and flowing in a direction towards the surface.

Title: Method of analysing a spectral peak using a neural network
Inventor: ANTONELLA GUZZONATO
IPC: G01J3/28
Filed: 2021-12-17
Abstract: Spectral emissions of different wavelengths overlap to form an interfered peak at a position on a detector. For one or more overlapping components, a neural net of a spectrometer controller generates and outputs an associated curve. The neural net is trained to output data characterising the shape of the associated curve based on the detector position. The neural net may output an encoded representation of the associated curve shape. Generating the associated curve may include decoding the encoded representation. Training may be based on multiple training peaks, each being a single spectral emission at a different detector position, perhaps associated with a single-element transition metal solution. Training may be repeated by identifying a calibration sample. A sample peak may be identified as an interfered peak, perhaps by counting the number of zero crossings in the first derivative of the peak. The spectrometer may be an optical emission spectrometer. It may comprise an echelle grating that diffracts light onto a two-dimensional array detector.
