Title: Dynamic custom wizard interface generation over a network system and method
Inventor: BYBEE ANDREW G
IPC: G06F17/00
Filed: 2003-03-07
Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for providing dynamic wizard interface to a user. The method comprises determining the packages required for creating the required portions of the wizard interface, encapsulating said packages in containers and delivering said containers to a wizard engine for transforming into the interface. The packages could be stored on a server for client computers to access. The containers and packages could be presented in a self-describing format, such as XML. The packages could comprise pages and objects describing the wizard interface and the pages could have forward and backward pointers for the flow between pages. Also the objects could be action objects. The method could also identify a user at the interface and retrieve relevant information for pre-filling the wizard interface. The pre-filling could comprise matching the self describing data field in a data structure with self describing objects in the packages. Determining the package to be sent could include collecting many packages in a container up to and including the first branching page. The branch package could be, after being delivered, reused when the package is selected.

Title: Borehole telemetry system
Inventor: HUANG SONGMING
IPC: E21B47/14
Filed: 2003-09-05
Abstract: Digital data is transmitted from downhole to surface using a transducer in a narrow acoustic channel 41 e.g. less than 58 cm<2> cross-section. generating a modulated carrier wave 42 e.g. FSK or PSK, and detecting the modulation at the surface 43. The transducer is preferably piezo-electric, electro- or magneto-strictive, or electro-dynamic using coils.

Title: An amplifier arrangement linearised by predistortion and feedforward; adaptive bias for improved efficiency; thermal overload protection
Inventor: NEUHAUS MARTIN
IPC: H03F1/32
Filed: 2003-10-30
Abstract: An amplifier assembly comprises a pre-amplifier <B>002</B>, power amplifier <B>012</B> and two distinct loops. The first loop is an arrangement and method of pre-distorting a modulated carrier in order to compensate for non-linearities present in power amplifier <B>012</B>. The second loop is a feed-forward loop compensating for residual distortion after the amplified modulated carrier has passed through power amplifier <B>012</B>. A third loop measures the amplifier system output signal and adjusts <B>loop1</B> and <B>loop2</B> to minimise the distortion component at the output of the amplifier system. The amplifier bias and the attenuation of the input signal are adjusted in accordance with a function of the amplifier power input integrated over time depending on the specific heat capacity of the amplifier semiconductor junction and the statistical probability of data occurrence in the modulated carrier input to the amplifier, particularly when the duration of amplifier power output exceeds a predetermined time limit which would induce thermal damage to the amplifier.
