Abstract: A novel apparatus and method for producing oil and natural gas from an oil well in the later stages of the well's lifetime. The apparatus includes a one-way valve located at the bottom of the conventional production tubing and a string of macaroni tubing inserted inside of the production tubing. The three chambers defined by the casing, the production tubing, and the macaroni tubing, are connectable to either the suction or discharge manifolds of the apparatus, which are in turn connectable to a compressor. With the valves manipulated in the appropriate fashion by the controller, pressure differentials can be created in the down-hole region of the well to force oil first into the macaroni tubing and then force it up and out of the macaroni tubing and to the sales line. An optional plunger may be used to help reduce paraffin or scale buildup in the macaroni tubing.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un procédé de communication par codage à bloc orthogonal. Des signaux codés sont transmis par répétition des transmissions de blocs de symboles accompagnés d'une variation de phase ou de signe choisis pour chaque bloc à partir d'une séquence de variations de phase ou de signe. Différents symboles sont transmis au moyen de séquences orthogonales. Le décodage met en oeuvre différentes séquences orthogonales pour séparer les signaux codés reçus en canaux séparés correspondants. Le codage orthogonal est supprimé des signaux codés transmis, et des signaux correspondants des symboles répétés sont ajoutés dans des blocs répétés reçus successivement après la suppression du codage orthogonal. Un émetteur utilise un codeur source numérique pour coder des informations en symboles et chaque symbole est répété un certain nombre de fois prédéterminées pour produire successivement des groupes de bits répétés. Chaque bit de répétition est modifié en phase ou en signe par application d'une variation de phase ou de signe déterminée par un code orthogonal attribué choisi associé à l'émetteur. Les bits modifiés en signe sont entrelacés à partir d'un certain nombre desdits groupes pour générer successivement un certain nombre de blocs composés chacun des différents bits modifiés en signe ou en phase du nombre prédéterminé de groupes répétés et comportant une variation de signe ou de phase collective correspondant à une variation de signe ou de phase commune partagée par tous les bits du bloc. Les blocs entrelacés modulent ensuite un signal radio pour effectuer la transmission.

Title: Glass fiber nonwoven fabric and printed wiring board
Inventor: KONNO MICHIO
IPC: D04H1/4218
Filed: 1998-12-01
Granted: 2008-01-08
Abstract: A nonwoven fabric constituted of high--flatness glass fibers whose cross sections have aspect ratios of 2.0 to 10 and rates of filling of 85 % or above, preferably 90 % or above. Such glass fibers have nearly rectangular cross sections and therefore can be arranged in an extremely dense state to give a nonwoven fabric which is extremely thin and has a high bulk density. The fabric can give laminates which are enhanced in the glass fiber content and improved in the surface smoothness, thus being suitably usable as the reinforcement for printed wiring boards. The glass fibers can be produced by the use of, e.g., a nozzle equipped with a tip which has a flat orifice and whose major-axis wall is partially cut out on one side.

Abstract: A method and apparatus that has the ability to run interactive legacy applications from a network, such as the Internet, without requiring any code changes in the application.  Thus, the application is unaware of the new network environment and continues to run, as--is, in its native environment. The legacy application may be accessed from any of several client devices using a network server that can be connected to or integral with the computer on which the application is executing. Typically, these legacy applications are critical to a business, are self-contained on the computer, have mixed business and user interface logic, and were written before software engineering principles of distributed computing emerged. Separating business logic from user interface logic as required by web application architectures is not practicable in the case of legacy applications. A client, such as a thin client, has a network user agent, such as a web browser, which can access a network server connected to the computer. The method of this invention provides an environment such that when an application is invoked from the network user agent, a runtime data redirector intercepts the application's raw data and sends the data to the network server which then serves the data across the network to the network user agent after dynamically updating the associated application's network pages, such as JavaServerPages, which were generated by converting the proprietary display screens of the legacy application. Input data from the user entered through the network user agent are sent back to the application via the same runtime intercept. In this fashion, the client and network environment are transparent to the application while the application is now able to take advantage of many Internet and other network capabilities.

Title: Droplet deposition apparatus
Inventor: DIXON MICHAEL JOHN
IPC: B41J2/175
Filed: 1999-12-24
Granted: 2011-08-16
Abstract: Droplet deposition apparatus comprises an array of fluid chambers (300, 310), each chamber communicating with an orifice for droplet ejection, a common fluid inlet manifold (220) and a common fluid outlet manifold (210, 230), and means for generating a fluid flow into the inlet manifold, though each chamber in the array and into the outlet manifold, the fluid flow through each chamber being sufficient to prevent foreign bodies in the fluid from lodging in the orifice. Each chamber is associated with means for effecting droplet ejection from the orifice simultaneously with the fluid flow through the chamber. The resistance to flow of one of the inlet and outlet manifolds is chosen such that the pressure at a fluid inlet to any chamber in the array varies between any two chambers by an amount less than that which would give rise to significant differences in droplet ejection properties between these two chambers.

Title: Current peaking sparkplug
Inventor: CAMILLI LOUIS S
IPC: H01T13/06
Filed: 2001-12-10
Granted: 2010-06-15
Abstract: A sparkplug exhibiting very low resistance and inductance and having multiple side discharge negative electrodes and employing an integral capacitor extending from the plug body to the area of the connector to the ignition system to effectively absorb the electrical energy normally lost during the rise time of the ignition transformer, to store such electrical energy, and to discharge the stored energy across the electrode gap during the first few nanoseconds of the spark event. The sparkplug body is comprised of iron or steel so as to be threaded into a conventional sparkplug hole. The body has a cylindrical extension which serves as the negative plate of the capacitive element. A positive electrode forms the interior portion of the sparkplug. One end of the positive electrode forms a spark channel with two or more negative electrodes in a plane perpendicular to the motion of the piston. The other end of the positive electrode connects by means of a resistive element to a high-voltage ignition cable of conventional design. The positive electrode also serves as the positive plate of the capacitive element and is cylindrical, extending centrally through the body and within the negative plate of the capacitive element. A moldable dielectric material completely fills the space between the positive and negative plates of the capacitive element for the length of the sparkplug, and may also serve as the outer insulator of the spark plug if desired. An alternative embodiment offering two sets of opposing capacitive plates is also described.
