Title: Improvements in or relating to well abandonment and slot recovery
Inventor: JAMES LINKLATER
IPC: E21B31/16
Filed: 2018-08-01
Abstract: A single trip casing cutting and pulling assembly includes a casing spear 12, a mud motor 16 and a casing cutter 18, wherein a valve 14 is located between the casing spear and the mud motor. The casing spear is operated by fluid flow from surface and the valve remains closed and prevents cutter operation until the spear is set and casing cutting is required, whereupon fluid pressure is increased above a valve cracking pressure to open the valve and operate the retractable cutter and mud motor. The valve is latched closed by a magnet which allows the valve to remain open despite a reduction from cracking pressure. A method is described for cutting and pulling casing which does not require rotation of the drill entire string with casing cutting provided by the mud motor. An embodiment includes retrieving a seal assembly 36 on the same trip. Further embodiments describe performing integrity and a circulation tests on the same trip with the option of making further cuts at shallower depths on the same trip until a section of cut casing can be recovered.

Title: Improvements in or relating to positioning reference in a telecommunication system
Inventor: Yinan Qi
IPC: H04W72/04
Filed: 2019-05-02
Abstract: A comb pattern and muting periodicity are selected for the transmission of position reference signals (PRS). The comb pattern may be comb-3 (fig. 1a), comb-6 (fig. 1b) or comb-12 (fig. 1c) among other possibilities. With a larger comb pattern, more cells can transmit orthogonal PRS at the same time using a suitable offset, and therefore fewer positioning occasions are needed (i.e. a lower periodicity). The muting periodicity may be configured by a location server and may be additionally defined on the basis of numerology. In a second aspect, the PRS may be muted over only a part of the frequency band. The system may be used by base stations (gNBs) in a 5G New Radio communications network.

Title: UHF GEN 2 RFID tag embodiment works in conjunction with its location on a bottle neck to provide resonant structure
Inventor: DAVID BERNARD MAPLESTON
IPC: G06K19/07
Filed: 2020-08-28
Abstract: An ultra-high frequency (UHF) radio frequency identification (RFID) tag is positioned on the neck of a vessel, such as a wine bottle 1. The effective length of the tag’s antenna is such that resonance is created at UHF RFID transponder frequencies, such as 886MHz in Europe and 915MHz in USA. This can be achieved by the tag overlapping the bottle’s metallic capsule 7, 10 to create a combined length of one quarter of the transponder’s wavelength. Alternatively, the tag’s integral antenna, such as a squiggle antenna 9, can be used to achieve the required length in the absence of a metallic capsule. A spacer which leaves a residue when removed may be provided between the tag and the capsule. The tag may have a paper circle at its top to aid correct positioning on the bottle. The tag may be constructed as a half wave dipole. The tag may be able to detect tampering by a disconnect though the tag matching loop. The tag may include an integrated chip (IC, RFIC) which may contain both UHF and near-field communication (NFC) transponders.
