Title: Wifi connectivity in a modular portable cellular device
Inventor: MICHAEL J LOMBARDI
IPC: H04M1/21
Filed: 2016-03-14
Abstract: Networking in a portable device in a modular device environment detects connection / docking of a second device (e.g. a portable function module) to the portable device, and configures the second device to form a parallel network connection with the portable device. Aspects include: receiving device network information from the second device; the parallel connection is a WiFi (RTM) connection; wherein both devices have a WiFi transceiver and a WiFi antenna; the second device (201) is configured to form a direct WiFi connection to the portable device (200) when the devices (200, 201) are separated. When connected together, the combined device is able to use the antennas and transceivers on each device as a MIMO (multiple input, multiple output) antenna system such that data throughput to and from the combined device is greater than it would be to either device alone.

Title: Ratio-based mode switching for optimizing weight-on-bit
Inventor: ROBELLO SAMUEL
IPC: E21B44/02
Filed: 2013-10-28
Abstract: Drilling system and methods may employ a weight-on-bit optimization for an existing drilling mode and, upon transitioning to a different drilling mode, determine an initial weight-on-bit within a range derived from: a sinusoidal buckling ratio, a helical buckling ratio, and the weight-on-bit value for the prior drilling mode. The sinusoidal buckling ratio is the ratio of a minimum weight-on-bit to induce sinusoidal buckling in a sliding mode to a minimum weight-on-bit to induce sinusoidal buckling in a rotating mode, and the helical buckling ratio is the ratio of a minimum weight-on-bit to induce helical buckling in the sliding mode to a minimum weight-on-bit to induce helical buckling in the rotating mode. The ratios are a function of the length of the drill string and hence vary with the position of the drill bit along the borehole.

Title: Apparatus and methods for out of order item selection and status updating
Inventor: RANJIT J ROZARIO
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 2017-03-22
Abstract: An apparatus for tracking ages of items in a queue within a processor comprises: an item storage array 16, which stores data of valid items stored in the queue; and an array 12 of age-tracking bits (e.g. age matrix), associated with valid items stored in the queue. Bits associated with a subset of items are set to a first value (e.g. zero) when the subset of items is older than other items (e.g. item I5 in entry 1 is older than item I6 in entry 3). The younger items correspond to bits set to the first value (e.g. youngest item I6 corresponds to column C3 filled with zeroes). Other bits associated with the subset of items are set to a second value (e.g. one) when the subset of items is younger than other items (e.g. item I5 is younger than items I2 and I3 in entries 2 and 4). The older items correspond to bits set to the second value (e.g. oldest item I2 corresponds to column C2 filled with ones). Items may be grouped (Figure 4). A method (Figure 6) is also provided.

Title: Liquid degasser
Inventor: ANDREW JAMES MCLEOD
IPC: F24D19/08
Filed: 2017-11-13
Abstract: A mass transfer device which may be a membrane contactor (1) is positioned upstream of a Venturi tube (2). An optional gas-release device (3) can be placed downstream of the Venturi tube. The liquid is fed through the membrane contactor, the Venturi tube, and the gas-release device, which generates a vacuum in the Venturi tube. The vacuum is applied to the membrane contactor via a vacuum line (4), driving dissolved gas separation in the membrane contactor. Separated gases travel along the vacuum line and are reintroduced to the liquid flow in the Venturi tube as bubbles. These bubbles exit the Venturi tube and are released to the atmosphere in the gas-release device. Liquid flow is induced by existing mains pressure or an existing non-dedicated pump. An objective is not to use chemical dosing, a dedicated external power source or using virtually no moving parts.
