Inventor: ANDREYCHUK MARK
IPC: E21B43/267
Filed: 2005-06-01
Abstract: A high-pressure injection proppant system for stimulating coal bed methane production preloads proppant, such as sand, into one or more high-pressure vessels, for delivery into a fluid stream, such a N2 gas stream. A screw auger arrangement meters the proppant volumes and rates into the fluid stream.  Two such vessels operationally mounted in parallel can function separately or concurrently depending on the demand for proppant in a particular formation.  The system provides for the injection of surfactants into the fluid stream to enhance the performance of the proppant, to aid in the placement of the proppant into a fracture network, and to demote proppant flowback during production and embedment. The system can be operated manualy or by computer automation to aid in the accuracy of the mixing of the fluid stream components.

Patent CA-2517214-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BARRETT SPENCER B
IPC: B23K26/08
Filed: 2003-10-17
Abstract: A tertiary positioner system (80) of this invention employs X- and Y-axis translation stages (86, 88), galvanometer-driven mirrors (64, 66), and a fast steering mirror ("FSM") (120) to direct a laser beam (90) to target locations (121) on a workpiece (92). A positioning signal is received by a low-pass filter (103) that produces filtered position data for driving the X- and Y-axis translation stages. The actual positions of the X- and Y-axis translation stages are subtracted from the unfiltered positioning data to produce an X-Y  position error signal for driving the galvanometer-driven X- and Y- axis mirrors. The actual mirror positions are subtracted from the actual positions of the X- and Y-axis translation stages to generate a positional error signal representing the difference between the commanded and actual positions of the laser beam. The positional error signal drives the FSM to rapidly correct any positional errors.

IPC: C22B34/12

Abstract: Agglomerates with carbonaceous material incorporated therein that contain a widely produced inexpensive high-VM coal of rich reserve and do not need metal oxide pulverization, excelling in strength after reduction; and a process for producing a reduced metal therefrom. In particular, agglomerates with carbonaceous material incorporated therein, composed of a carbonaceous material and a raw material containing metal oxides, such as iron ore, to be reduced are produced with the use of high-VM coal of 35 mass% or higher volatile component content as the carbonaceous material at an agglomeration pressure of at least 2 ton/cm2 so as to attain a porosity lowering to 35% or below. This porosity lowering is effective in the promotion of heat conduction within the agglomerates during the stage of high-temperature reduction by means of a rotary hearth furnace so that sintering between reduced metal portions is efficiently advanced across the whole region of the agglomerates.  Thus, production of a reduced metal of high crushing strength can be realized.

Inventor: HATCH RONALD RAY
IPC: G01S19/30
Filed: 1996-05-24
Abstract: A technique for minimizing or eliminating the effect of multipath signals in a receiver processing pseudorandom (PRN) code signals, such as in a global positioning system (EPS) receiver. The presence of multipath signals adversely affects both code measurements and carrier phase measurements of received PRN signals. One aspect of the invention provides for improved code tracking in the presence of multipath signals, by sampling the received code with a multipath mitigation window (MMW) (FIG. 25D) that results in a code error function (FIG. 25F) that reduces or eliminates the multipath effects. The MMW, which may by any of a number of preferred waveforms (FIGS. 35b-35E), provides a code error function that varies in opposite directions from zero at a desired tracking point (402), but assumes a nearly zero value when the MMW is advanced from the tracking or synchronization point by more than a small fraction of a code chip. Because of this nearly zero code error value on the early side of the desired tracking point, delayed multipath signals will have a corresponding code error function that is nearly zero (FIG. 25F) at the desired tracking point of the directly received signals, and the multipath signals will, therefore, have little or no effect on the desired tracking point and on code synchronization. The effects of multipath signals on carrier phase measurements are minimized by sampling the received signals, together with their possible multipath components, before and immediately after cede transitions (vectors A and B respectively). The vector relationship of the directly received (D) and multipath (M) signals is such that performing a vector average of the two types of samples (A and B) produces the directly received signal (D) and its correct phase, with many, if not all, of the multipath components (M) eliminated.
