Title: Method and apparatus for evaluating the resistivity of invaded formations at high apparent dip angle
Inventor: SIJERCIC ZLATKO
IPC: G01V3/28
Filed: 1999-01-04
Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a method and apparatus for evaluating the resistivity of invaded formations at high apparent dip angle. A multi-array induction tool having a plurality of arrays is disposed in a borehole. Signals from a subset of coils of the array are selected to probe different volumes of the formation surrounding the borehole. The maximum entropy method is used to process data from the subset of coils to effectively remove distortions produced by shoulder and dip effect in the presence of shallow, moderate, or deep invasion. After processing the data, the resulting multi-array induction log will indicate a conductivity profile for the subset of coils which is substantially identical to that of an array in a thick bed, without dip or layering, with the same invasion profile. A 1D radial inversion of the resulting logs at each point in depth will give a closer estimate of the actual formation parameters, R xo, R t, and the invasion radius.

Patent CA-2264773-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HOLMES JOHN NICHOLAS
IPC: G10L25/15
Filed: 1997-10-13
Abstract: A speech processing system (10) incorporates an analogue to digital converter (16) to digitise input speech signals for Fourier transformation to produce short-term spectral cross-sections. These cross-sections are compared with one hundred and fifty reference patterns in a store (34), the patterns having respective stored sets of formant frequencies assigned thereto by a human expert. Six stored patterns most closely matching each input cross-section are selected for further processing by dynamic programming, which indicates the pattern which is a best match to the input cross-section by using frequencyscale warping to achieve alignment. The stores formant frequencies of the best matching pattern are modified by the frequency warping, and the results are used as formant frequency estimates for the input cross-section. The frequencies are further refined on the basis of the shape of the input crosssection near to the chosen formants. Formant amplitudes are produced from input cross-section amplitudes at estimated formant frequencies. The formant frequencies and amplitudes are used with a computer (25) to provide speech indications or with a Hidden Markov Model word matcher (24) to provide word recognition.
Patent CA-2264949-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SONNENBERG CARLA
IPC: B25B29/00
Filed: 1999-03-15
Abstract: The socket mat is used for the storage of ratchet wrench sockets. It is able to store 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" drive sockets, while not being restricted to a specific layout as with prior storage systems, thus enabling the user of the sockets to store sockets according to personal requirements. The mat has a series of protruding pegs on the topside.  Sockets are simply pushed down onto a peg, drive end first. When needed for use, the socket is simply pulled up and off the peg. The socket mat has an interlocking design on its sides so that several mats can be fitted together to hold a greater number of sockets. This would then usually be fitted within a mechanic's tool chest drawer. The mat can also be cut down to fit within smaller drawers, or to fit within particular areas. To enable the standard mat, which accepts 1 /4" drive sockets, to receive larger drive sockets there is a shim-sleeve which can be pushed down over the standard peg. The pegs on the mat are spaced 1 1/2" apart, both lengthwise and widthwise.  This allows larger sockets to be placed next to smaller sockets. The socket mat is constructed of a flexible material to give it a good feel, and is heavy enough so that mat does not move around when used in the work area.

Title: Method and device for producing series of impulse voltages to operate discharge lamps and circuit pertaining thereto
Inventor: HITZSCHKE LOTHAR
IPC: H05B41/24
Filed: 1998-07-16
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing series of impulse voltages to operate discharge lamps (8) by means of pulsed, dielectrically impeded discharge. According to said method, the series of impulse voltages consists of two series of partial voltages so that the total peak values of each series of partial voltages is lower than the total peak values of the resulting series of impulse voltage e.g. half as big. One advantage is that correspondingly lower EMI arises when the series of partial voltages are produced. Also both series of partial voltages have opposite inclined rising edges in relation to a reference potential. Preferably, both series of partial voltages are inverted. This provides ideal and full compensation, at least locally, of electromagnetic interference (EMI) produced by both series of partial voltages. A circuit thus includes two series connected impulse circuits (1; 2) which are synchronised using a timing circuit (3).
