Title: Methods and apparatus for downhole characterization of emulsion stability
Inventor: INDO KENTARO
IPC: G01N33/28
Filed: 2010-09-30
Abstract: A method (and corresponding apparatus) for downhole fluid analysis of petroleum formation fluids. The method includes capturing in a chamber (30) of a downhole tool (10) at least two immiscible formation fluids in a generally segregated state (the fluids including petroleum), activating a fluid mixing means (62) to mix the fluids in the chamber to create an emulsion therefrom, and allowing the emulsified fluids to segregate while measuring light transmittance through the segregating fluids in order to calculate a transition time period based on the light transmittance through the fluids in the chamber. The transition time period is preferably bounded by the time required for the light transmittance values measured by the light detector to reach a baseline light transmittance. The transition time period characterizes the stability of an emulsion formed by the captured fluids.

Patent CA-2783571-A1 (CA)
Inventor: STEWART ROBERT
IPC: H04B1/59
Filed: 2010-11-03
Abstract: In an inductively coupled radio frequency identification (RFID) system deployed in animal and livestock applications, reading system efficacy can be compromised by animal movement on, around, or near metal structures prone to producing sonic frequencies. Such is the case, for example, when a walk-by antenna is mounted at the entry door of a livestock transport trailer, and animals transit on a metallic ramp and metallic trailer floor. Associated with the observable acoustic noise are subtle disturbances in the magnetic field surrounding the antenna due to vibrating metal altering the reluctance of the antenna's magnetic field. This acoustic noise manifests itself as an electrical noise phenomenon that interferes with the signals of certain types of identification tags which rely on amplitude modulation. The detrimental effects of acoustic noise from metal structures can be mitigated by using a multi-loop antenna that limits the spatial distribution of the transmitted magnetic field and cancels close by magnetic field disturbances.

Abstract: The Motosub is an underwater recreationnal vehicle equipped with a water turbine powered by an electric motor. It's ergonomy is very similar to a motorcyle's whereas the pilot is seated in front (stradled) and controls the vehicle with handlebars.  The passenger(s) sits behind the pilot. One (or more) air tanks can be attached and connected on or inside the vehicle and air can is supplied to the pilot and it's passenger(s) regulators via connectors.  This eliminates the need for the riders to carry Air Tanks on their backs like scuba divers. The vehicle permits users to easily travel underwater at a faster pace then conventional diving equipment and with greater autonomy and ease. It permits them to live a first hand experience instead of being inside a closed submarine. The seating position is more comfortable than underwater apparatus that pulls divers.

Abstract: An infrastructure device in a 3GPP compliant system performs a method transporting a plurality of media streams over a shared MBMS bearer. The 3GPP compliant system includes a RAN partitioned into a plurality MBMS services areas, wherein each MBMS service area has at least one already existing shared MBMS bearers for transporting the media streams. The infrastructure device: receives a first request to transmit a first media stream to a first communication group; identifies a shared MBMS bearer in a first 3GPP MBMS service area that is already transporting a second media stream to a second communication group; and determines whether the shared MBMS bearer has sufficient capacity to transport both the first media stream and the second media stream simultaneously. When the shared MBMS bearer has sufficient capacity, the infrastructure device simultaneously sends both the first media stream and the second media stream on the shared MBMS bearer.
