Title: Priority resolution system and video display apparatus
Inventor: WESTMORE RICHARD J
IPC: G06F3/14
Filed: 1985-07-18
Abstract: Devices (processors) P1 to Pn provide device priority numbers B1 to Bn to corresponding priority logic units L1 to Ln through which a bus priority number is relayed on an m-bit priority bus A1 to An. Each priority logic unit (e.g. L1) effects pipelines bit-wise comparison between its input numbers A1 and B1 (in order of decreasing significance) and outputs as the bus number A2 whichever of A1 and B1 indicates higher priority. Moreover a selection signal D1 is output to indicate when B1 has higher priority than A1. The selection signals D1 to Dn selectively enable outputs V1 to Vn from the processors into a video bus X1 to Xn+1 in the illustrated application.

Title: Arrangements for production,storing and transferring of hydrocarbon at sea
Inventor: OVREVIK TOR HELGE
IPC: E21B43/017
Filed: 1989-01-04
Abstract: A buoyant and moored rotatable well-head, riser and drilling support structure for production, storage and transfer of hydrocarbons offshore using a floating vessel. The well-heads with Christmas trees can be located dry in the vessel support structure, or at the sea bed as subsea completion, with flexible flow-lines pulled through J-tubes in the support structure or fixed risers connected to the sea bottom. The hydrocarbon fluids or injection water or gas can be transferred between the anchored rotatable support structure and the production and storage vessel via flexible pipes, and a double manifold and valve system. Drilling and completion of surface wells can be performed using a light movable derrick structure supported on top of the well-head area which is anchored to the sea bottom. The production and storage vessel will be free to rotate around this anchored support structure according to optimum weather direction and will provide all drilling rig support systems and production systems connected via flexible pipes and cables. The surface well-heads are supported by a tensioning system at the top of the support structure and are free to move through the conductor pipes in the support structure. Flexible flow-lines from subsea wells or export risers can be pulled through J-tubes or vertical pipes in the support structure.
Patent GB-2222844-A (GB)
Title: Method and apparatus for remote signal entry into measurement while drilling system
Inventor: HELM WALTER A
IPC: E21B47/18
Filed: 1989-05-12
Abstract: A signal generated by a remote, first computer 70' is converted into a magnetic field, which is then transmitted to a MWD system where it is detected and converted back into a signal which is then fed to a computer 72' in the MWD system. A magnetometer 74' which is typically present in commercial MWD systems may be used as the detector in the MWD system. An output of the first computer 70' may drive a power amplifier which in turn drives the field coils in a transmitter (80). The axis of the field coils is aligned with one of the axes of the magnetometer 74'. The invention overcomes the need in the prior art for a direct RS232 link up between a surface computer and the computer on an MWD tool.
