Title: Resolution matched nonlinear resolution enhancement of well logs
Inventor: HU GUOYO
IPC: G01V1/48
Filed: 2012-10-12
Abstract: A technique for processing well logs performs a nonlinear resolution enhancement of raw well logs using a modified Van Cittert nonlinear enhancement technique that avoids instabilities, and can provide resolution matched results at a predetermined resolution. The method involves (a) selecting a resolution, (b) estimating a formation profile 210, (c) calculating a nonlinear forward modelling operator for the logging tool, (d) calculating an enhancement factor from the logging data, the formation profile estimate and the forward modelling operator, (e) calculating a resolution matched stability factor, (f) updating previous nonlinearly enhanced logging data with the enhancement factor and the resolution matched stability factor to produce nonlinearly enhanced data 230, and (g) iteratively repeating (a)-(f) until a predetermined criterion is satisfied. The method can be used with induction logging tools, or acoustic and nuclear well logging tools.

Abstract: It is common to wish to play music (or more generally media files/tracks) from a media device 1, 2 such as a PC, portable audio/MP3 player or the like thorough an external device such as a home audio system (stereo system) 3, 4. This can be provided through a wireless link in which the system comprises a transceiver 3A for establishing a short range wireless connection (e.g. Bluetooth (RTM) link) with the media player 1, 2, and an output 3F which allows the device to be connected, to an Audio/Visual output device e.g. a speaker/screen 4. This application describes a media receiver 3 which can maintain two simultaneous short range wireless radio connections with two remote media players and whilst maintaining said connections and whilst receiving a first Audio/Visual signal/track from one of the media players, receive a second Audio/Visual signal/track from the other media player and route that second Audio/Visual signal/track to the Audio/Visual output device in preference to the first Audio/Visual signal/track i.e. the media receiver switches from routing/outputting the currently playing first media signal/track to the newly requested second media signal/track. The media player sending the first Audio/Visual signal/track may be instructed to pause or stop reading and/or transmitting the first signal/track. The audio receiver may receive Advance Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) and/or Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP)/ iPod Accessory Protocol (iAP) messages on which to base the decision on which signal/track to route to the output device. Embodiments comprising simultaneous connection to more than two media players [10, 20, 30, Figure 3] is also included.

Title: Continuously variable toroidal transmission
Inventor: FREITAS ANDREW DE
IPC: F16H15/38
Filed: 2013-01-10
Abstract: In a toroidal variator a plurality of rolling elements (20, 22) are in driving engagement with an input and output race (10, 14) at respective contact regions. Each rolling element (20, 22) is mounted on a carriage assembly (26) for rotation about a rolling axis, and is being free to pivot about a tilt axis, the tilt axis passing through the rolling element (20, 22) perpendicular to the rolling axis, and intersecting the rolling axis at a roller centre, whereby a change in the tilt axis causes a change in the variator ratio being the ratio of rotational speeds of the races. The tilt axis is arranged at an angle known as castor angle (see Fig.4) to a plane (P) perpendicular to the variator axis (V). Each carriage assembly (26) can cause a movement of the rolling element (20, 22) with a component of rotation about a pitch axis (A, B). The pitch axis is defined as passing through the roller centre and through the contact regions. Pitching the roller elements (20, 22) causes them to tilt, thereby changing the transmission ratio.
