Abstract: A method of pushing messages to a mobile communication device involves steps of causing a message to be sent to a relay network for delivery to the mobile communication device through one of a plurality of wireless communication networks communicatively coupled to the relay network; receiving a result message when the mobile communication device is unavailable to receive the message; maintaining storage of the message in memory accessible by the host server after the result message is received; receiving a status message when the mobile communication device is available to receive the message; and causing the message to be sent again to the relay network for delivery to the mobile communication device in response to receiving the status message. The result message comprises a message identifier that uniquely corresponds to the message. During the unavailability of the mobile device, the relay network does not maintain the message in memory.

Abstract: The invention relates to a rail connection for track systems, which comprises a tensioning element (1) made of an elastic material, in particular a hardened spring steel, which is deposited in such a manner in the mounted state, between a maintaining plate (3) which is arranged on a threshold (2) and a fastening anchor (4), such that it exerts a maintaining force upon the base (5) of a rail (6) in order to maintain the rail (6) in position. The tensioning element (1) is embodied in a symmetrical manner in relation to a symmetrical plane (7) which is oriented in a vertical manner, said symmetrical plane being perpendicular on the longitudinal axis (8) of the rail (6).  According to the invention, the tensioning element (1) comprises two torsion limbs (1a', 1a") which extend preferably, essentially in a parallel manner in relation to each other in order to obtain stepped overload protection. Both of the torsion limbs (1a', 1a") are connected together on the side oriented away from the rail (6) by means of a connecting section (1 b), and a loop-shaped clamping section (1d', 1d") is arranged on the end (1c', 1c") of the torsion limb (1 a', 1 a") which is oriented away from the rail (6). The torsion limb (1a', 1a") together with the connecting section (1b) is arranged, essentially, on a first plane (9) when the tensioning element (1) is not in the tensioned state and at least one part of the loop-shaped clamping section (1d', 1d") is arranged on a second plane (10). The second plane (10) is rotated about an axis (11) in relation to the first plane (9), which extends in a parallel manner on the sectional axis of the symmetrical plane (7) with the first plane (9).

Filed: 2007-01-24
Granted: 2016-05-24
Abstract: Methods and systems for thermal compensation of pressure measurements by a pressure gauge. Errors in pressure values are reduced by utilizing a predetermined correlation between the error in pressure measurements, due to temperature gradient in a pressure gauge, and the temperature gradient caused by temperature at a surface of the pressure gauge and temperature at an inner portion of the pressure gauge. Thermally corrected pressure values are derived based on the correlation between the pressure errors and the temperature gradients in conditions such as due to fast and large pressure variations in oil wells.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are circuits and methods for a multi-electrode implantable stimulator device incorporating one decoupling capacitor in the current path established via at least one cathode electrode and at least one anode electrode. The decoupling capacitor may be hard-wired to a dedicated anode on the device. The cathodes are selectively activatable via stimulation switches. In another embodiment, any of the electrodes on the devices can be selectively activatable as an anode or cathode. In this embodiment, the decoupling capacitor is placed into the current path via selectable anode and cathode stimulation switches. Regardless of the implementation, the techniques allow for the benefits of capacitive decoupling without the need to associate decoupling capacitors with every electrode on the multi-electrode device, which saves space in the body of the device. Although of particular benefit when applied to microstimulators, the disclosed technique can be used with space-saving benefits in any stimulator device.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des procédés de diversion assistée en matériau dégradable (DMAD) pour le traitement de puits, des fluides de traitement de DMAD, et des obturations amovibles pour la DMAD dans des opérations de fond de trou. Une solution de matériau dégradable solide est injectée dans le puits ; une obturation est formée à partir du matériau dégradable ; une opération de fond de trou est réalisée autour du déviateur d'obturation, et l'obturation est alors dégradée en vue de son retrait. Les déclencheurs de la dégradation peuvent être la température ou des réactifs chimiques, avec en option des accélérateurs ou retardateurs pour préciser le moment du retrait de l'obturation. Lors du fractionnement de DMAD d'une formation multicouche, l'obturation isole une fracture terminée tandis que des couches supplémentaires sont séquentiellement fracturées et obturées ; puis les obturations sont retirées pour permettre le reflux des couches fracturées. Dans les fluides de DMAD, la phase solide de la solution aqueuse peut inclure un matériau dégradable et la phase fluide, un agent de surface viscoélastique. La phase solide peut être un mélange de fibres et un matériau particulaire.
