Inventor: ELY DAVID
IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 2004-07-26
Abstract: A calibration system produces correction data for calibrating an X-Y digitiser 1. An alignment head 5 having an array of magnetic field generators 7 (e.g. coils) is aligned with the digitiser tablet 1. Each of the magnetic field generators 7 is individually drivable and can be selected and energised to generate a magnetic field one at a time. Calibration data is determined for different positions on the X-Y digitiser corresponding to the positions of the magnetic field generators in the array - position data produced by the digitiser in response to the generated field is compared with the known position of the selected generator. Generator positions are determined from head-digitiser alignment which itself may be determined using two cameras 13 identifying the position of specific pixels in a display 2 associated with the digitiser. The resulting calibration data is used to create a correction map.

Title: Energy efficient heater stack using dlc island
Inventor: CORNELL ROBERT WILSON
IPC: B41J2/14
Filed: 2003-06-04
Abstract: The present invention is directed toward an improved heater chip for an ink jet printer. The heater chip has a diamond-like-carbon (12) coating that functions as the cavitation and passivation layers of the heating elements (10) on the heater chip. To improve the efficiency of the heater chip, the diamond-like-carbon coating is surrounded by a material that has a lower thermal conductivity than diamond. This surrounding layer limits thermal diffusion from the heating elements into the heater chip.

Title: Advanced gas injection method and apparatus liquid hydrocarbon recovery complex
Inventor: KELLEY TERRY EARL
IPC: E21B43/30
Filed: 2004-01-05
Abstract: The invention provides for injecting of high-pressare miscible natural gas directly into a newly opened or previously produced liquid hydrocarbon reservoir (LH) to saturate liquid hydrocarbons with solution gas to improve their mobility to flow toward and into producing wells. Concurrent injection of gas, miscible or otherwise, into hydrocarbon zone's gas cap (GC) supplies additional pressuring effects to aid there-saturation process. DownLole float operated injectors (DOLI) are improved to operate at high pressare maintained within the wellbore to assure liquid hydrocarbon flow completely out of the formation. The improved injector system then senses the difference between liquid and gas and closes its valve to retain the gas within the wellbore and hydrocarbon formation. Any excessive gas pressure is relieved into the reservoir's gas cap for its continued benefits. All liquid-producing systems utilize an isxtended-float-length injector to permit the injector's float to open at high differential pressure created by maintaining the wellbore at pressare above gas into solution liquid saturation levels.

Title: Fault current limiting
Inventor: HUSBAND STEPHEN MARK
IPC: H01L39/16
Filed: 2006-03-25
Abstract: A superconducting element 18a quenches into a non-superconducting state when a fault current flows through it, from a generator 12 to a load 14, 22. A bleed circuit 32, in parallel with the superconducting element 18a, is switched to a low impedance state in response to the removal of the fault condition, thereby reducing the current through superconductor 18a, removing resistive heating effects and allowing it to recover its superconducting state. Bleed circuit 32 can then be returned to a high impedance, or open circuit condition. Bleed circuit 32 may comprise a switch 34 that may take the form of a semiconductor switch, a circuit breaker or a spark gap (fig 3, 34a) which may have a trigger element. Bleed circuit 32 may also comprise a series inductive element 40 and a series fuse element 42 that may itself be a quenchable superconducting fuse. A control element 36 may detect the removal of the fault condition and may monitor the voltage across the superconducting element 18a to detect a change caused by removal of the fault condition. Control element may be a passive arrangement 36a, and receive a fault removal signal from a network protection system 26 causing bleed circuit 32 to switch to the low impedance state. The invention is intended to limit fault current within an electrical distribution system.
