Title: Stoppers of composite cork material for sparkling wines and the process for their production
Inventor: MOURA BORDADO JOAO CARLOS
IPC: B65D39/00
Filed: 2007-07-26
Abstract: This invention concerns stoppers made from composite material for sparkling wines consisting of two types of cork agglomerate which are closely bonded and produced from two ranges of granulates of different granulometry, where the joining surface between the two agglomerates is irregular due to their interpenetration. The invention also concerns the production process of these stoppers by individual moulding (piece by piece), whereby the simultaneous feeding of the two types of granulate and the respective additives is done and the mould is closed by compression and then heated for a time for polymerisation. The granulates used are normally treated with a reactive agglomerant consisting of, for example, quasi -prepolymer based od TDI or quasi -prepolymer based on MDI base. After de-moulding, the unfinished stopper is stabilised, and later machined to the final dimensions.

IPC: E21B10/573
Filed: 2007-11-29
Abstract: Rock detritus created by a drag bit cutter shearing subterranean formation material may flow under the cutter and attach itself to the side surface of the cutter barrel by differential pressure-induced sticking, and dilate. This attached material, confined by hydrostatic pressure, can create and strengthen a barrier between the cutter and the virgin rock being cut. The detritus barrier absorbs bit weight and reduces cutter efficiency by impairing contact of the cutter with the virgin rock formation. Increasing the friction between the rock detritus and the side surface of the cutter barrel for example by means of grooves or bars (140A) inhibits detritus flow, reduces build up, and allows hydrostatic pressure to contribute to, rather than inhibit, the cutting process. Similar beneficial results may be obtained when hydrostatic pressure drilling fluid is permitted to communicate through holes in the side surface of the cutter, or through an otherwise permeable side surface alleviating detritus sticking due to differential pressure effects.

IPC: G10L19/02
Filed: 2009-11-24
Abstract: An iterative rate-distortion optimization algorithm for MPEG I/II Layer-3 (MP3) encoding based on the method of Lagrangian multipliers. Generally, an iterative method is performed such that a global quantization step size is determined while scale factors are fixed, and thereafter the scale factors are determined while the global quantization step size is fixed. This is repeated until a calculated rate-distortion cost is within a predetermined threshold.  The methods are demonstrated to be computationally efficient and the resulting bit stream is fully standard compatible.

Patent CA-2690954-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BJERKHOLT BORRE
IPC: G01V1/48
Filed: 2010-01-25
Abstract: Systems and methods create a velocity model for well time-depth conversion. In one implementation, a system optimizes a time-depth relationship applied to data points from a single well to estimate coefficients for a velocity function that models the data points. The system optimizes by reducing the influence of outlier data points, for example, by weighting each data point to decrease the influence of those far from the velocity function. The system also reduces the influence of top and bottom horizons of geological layers by applying data driven techniques that estimate the velocity function without undue dependence on the boundary conditions. The system can optimize estimation of a rate of increase in velocity to enable the velocity function to go through a data point on each top horizon. The system may also estimate each base horizon from trends in the data points and adjust the velocity function to go through a data point on each base horizon.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a network adapter has a physical port that is multiplexed to multiple logical ports, which have default queues. The adapter also has other queues, which can be allocated to any logical port, and resources, which map tuples to queues. The tuples are derived from data in packets received via the physical port. The adapter determines which queue should receive a packet based on the received tuple and the resources. If the received tuple matches a resource, then the adapter stores the packet to the corresponding queue; otherwise, the adapter stores the packet to the default queue for the logical port specified by the packet. In response to receiving an allocation request from a requesting partition, if no resources are idle, a resource is selected for preemption that is already allocated to a selected partition. The selected resource is then allocated to the requesting partition.
