Abstract: A well testing tool (50) which includes lateral circulation ports (296) and a ball valve (374), each operable between open and closed positions to configure the tool into different modes of operation, which include: a well test position in which the valve is open and the ports are closed; blank position in which the valve and ports are closed; and a circulating position in which the valve is closed and the ports are open. The tool can be switched between modes by manipulating pressure in the wellbore (4). An operating mandrel assembly (412) is provided, which is responsive to variations in annulus pressure, and moves between several mandrel positions to configure the tool into the different modes. An overrideable position controller (228,276) dictates the response of the operating mandrel assembly. The controller provides a default position sequence in which the mandrel assembly is maintained in primary mandrel positions. The controller is overrideable to permit selective movement of the operating mandrel assembly into alternative mandrel positions.

Abstract: An optical head device includes a collimating lens (9) or an aperture structure (13) which is disposed between a semiconductor laser (1) and a beam splitter (3;28) with the collimating lens or the aperture structure having an effective aperture smaller than an effective aperture of an objective lens (4). The device also includes a polarization aperture structure (11) and a quarter-wave plate (12) which, out of the light in a polarization direction, allow a portion of the light that is incident on an aperture portion whose diameter is smaller than the effective aperture of the objective lens to pass through, while allowing the remaining portion of the light to be diffracted, absorbed or reflected such that the light orthogonally directed thereto passes as it is through entire surfaces of the polarization aperture structure and the quarter-wave plate. The light passed is led to the optical detector without the reflected light being spatially lost. It is possible to increase a range of tolerance for the tilting of the optical disk, and to reduce any deterioration caused by the tilting of the optical disk.

Abstract: The present invention has an object to provide a TDMA timing control method and apparatus for use in a TDMA satellite communication network, by which land earth stations can be synchronized even in a multi beam system having generally no return channel. A land earth station of the satellite network generates a transmission timing thereof on the basis of its own time base and detects a receiving time of a signal from another land earth station. Times of the land earth stations are synchronized by exchanging the information of their own transmission timing and the receiving times of the signals with other land earth stations through control bursts, calculating time errors of their own time bases by solving simultaneous equations including time errors of the time bases of the other land earth station and propagation times to the satellite as unknown quantities and correcting the times of the time bases on the basis of the time errors.

IPC: B41J5/30

Abstract: In liquid-ink color graphics printing, incompatible inks, such as true black and color inks, tend to bleed across color field boundaries. Moreover, in four-color systems, there is a discontinuity in the physical color gamut, as distinguished from the logical color gamut, associated with the redundant color black. A method is disclosed for alleviating both problems by correcting image data prior to dithering. The method slightly shifts the logical color indicated in the image data so as to avoid the discontinuity that arises with neutral colors. Preferably, in a four-color printing system, blue is increased (conversely yellow reduced) in the image data, so that after dithering, more dots of color ink are printed in a given area than would be printed otherwise. For each pixel, the amount of correction is inversely proportional to the color saturation. Where the logical data specifies black, the invention has the effect of adding a small amount of blue. The presence of blue ink dots within the substantially black field reduces bleed along the field edges.

Abstract: A timing technique for a Quantization-Level-Sampling (QLS) modem puts timing information in a downstream pulsed signal transmitted from the public switched telephone network (PSTN) to the QLS modem. In response to this timing information, the QLS modem synchronizes to the network sampling clock in the PSTN. In particular, the pulsed signal includes data-bearing samples, which were provided by a far-end QLS modem, and at least one non-user-data-bearing (NUDB) sample in which the level of this NUDB sample periodically alternates. The QLS modem extracts timing information from this periodic alternating signal level to synchronize the QLS modem to the network sampling clock.
