IPC: E21B7/00
Filed: 2006-12-22
Abstract: "MéTODO PARA PERFURAçãO DE POçOS POR CIRCULAçãO REVERSA DE FLUIDO". Refere-se a presente invenção a um método para perfuração de poços com circulação reversa de fluido, utilizado para remoção de cascalhos resultantes da perfuração de poços. O método consiste em utilizar um dispositivo rotativo de isolamento anular (3) que permita bombear um fluido para remoção dos cascalhos pelo espaço anular (11), formado entre a coluna de perfuração (2) e a parede do poço (12). Este fluido chega ao fundo do poço, penetra na coluna de perfuração (2), através do(s) orifício(s) de uma broca (6), e carreia os cascalhos para a parte superior da coluna de perfuração (2). O fluido é desviado, no topo da coluna de perfuração (2), para uma unidade de separação de cascalhos (14) na qual os cascalhos são separados do fluido e este vai para um tanque de armazenameno de fluido (7), de onde é aspirado por uma unidade de bombeamento (8) e, a seguir, bombeado de volta para o referido espaço anular (11). Para utilização do citado método é necessário que o espaço anular (11) seja isolado da atmosfera por um dispositivo rotativo de isolamento do anular (3).

Title: Shutting down unnecessary programs in a computer system
Inventor: ALAMBRITIS STAVROS GEORGE
IPC: G06F9/48
Filed: 2010-02-12
Abstract: A computer system runs several different programs. The programs are loaded from a storage device into the memory of the computer system. The computer system receives a command to close non-essential programs. It identifies which of the programs are not essential and removes those programs from memory. It then receives a second command to re-open the non-essential programs. It reloads the programs from the storage device into memory. The commands may be given by a user from an input device. The non-essential programs may be identified using a list of non-essential programs stored in the storage device of the computer system. The list may be updated from a server. Alternatively, the non-essential programs may be identified by sending a server a list of the current programs and receiving a list of non-essential programs in response.

Title: Stackable product carriers
Inventor: OLDER DANIEL LODEWIJK CHRISTIAAN DEN
IPC: B65D5/00
Filed: 2011-02-07
Abstract: The invention concerns a unit 1 that can be used for the transportation and presentation of products such as flowers and plants. The unit is designed to be used with various means of transport in the logistics chain or as a standÂ­alone system. The system, which is made entirely of 100% recycled and recyclable waste paper fibre material, allows the products to be transported and distributed from nursery or auction to point of sale without further transfer. The logistic and presentation system consists of three main components: product carriers 2, stacking spacers 3 and an integrated platform 4. After its useful life, the invention is completely recyclable as waste paper as it consists entirely of 100% waste paper fibre material. The primary aim of the invention is to eliminate the need to return transportation and presentation units. The steel trolleys and other transportation devices currently in use all need to be returned to their point of origin. This entails significant costs, which are likely to increase further in the future as a result of international environmental constraints, CO2 levies and other transportation taxes.

Title: Data transfer between clock domains of different frequency if destination clock is in a safe part of its cycle
Inventor: HJERTO MARKUS BAKKA
IPC: G06F1/12
Filed: 2012-06-27
Abstract: An input data signal sig_fast is transferred from a first clock domain 4 and output sig_slow to a second clock domain 8. The domains have unequal clock frequencies and, typically, the first clock frequency is greater than the second, e.g. 50MHz and 32 kHz respectively. Thus transfer is, typically, from the faster to the slower domain. The input signal is received from the first clock domain and checking means check whether the slower of the first or second clocks is in a part of its cycle away from a forthcoming transition, preferably a forthcoming positive transition. The checking means is clocked by the faster ck_fast of the first or second clock and the checking is preferably performed at a rising edge of the faster clock. The input signal is transferred to the second clock domain if the checking means determines that the slower clock is in part of its cycle away from a forthcoming transition, preferably in a positive part of its cycle (fig. 2). The input signal need not be transferred via the checking means.
