Abstract: A fast, space-efficient lookup table (LUT) for programmable logic devices (PLDs) in which the write decoder, read decoder and memory block of the LUT  are modified to improve performance while providing a highly efficient layout.  Both the write decoder and the read decoder are controlled by LUT input signals, and data signals are transmitted directly to each memory circuit of the memory block (i.e., without passing through the write decoder). Each memory circuit includes an inverter circuit connected between the memory cell and the output terminal of the memory circuit. The write decoder includes NOR  gates that generate select signals used to address individual memory circuits during write operations. The read decoder includes a multiplexing circuit made up of a series of 2-to-1 multiplexers that are directly controlled by the input signals received from the interconnect resources of the PLD.

Granted: 2007-01-02
Abstract: A process for preparing a solution of a liquid additive in a liquid base wherein the liquid additive tends to gel when mixed with the liquid base at temperatures less than a gelling temperature T G includes the steps of providing a stream of the liquid base at a temperature T c which is greater than ambient temperature and less than the gelling temperature T G; feeding the stream to a mixer having a mixer inlet so as to impart energy to the stream; and adding the liquid additive to the stream downstream of the inlet, whereby the liquid additive mixes with the liquid base and the energy inhibits gelling of the liquid additive.

Title: Method and apparatus for applying a powdered resin to fasteners
Inventor: DIMAIO ANTHONY
IPC: B05B7/24
Filed: 2003-06-23
Granted: 2008-04-08
Abstract: The present invention is directed to an improved method and apparatus for the application of powdered resins to threaded fasteners. In accordance with the present invention, the powdered resin handling system used to apply, collect, recycle and make-up the resin is generally enclosed; that is, with the exception of the application of the resin to the fasteners, the resin is generally maintained within conduit, housings or hoppers that are not open to the surroundings. This tends to minimize discharge of resin into the areas surrounding the fastener processing equipment and also isolates the resin from external environmental conditions that tend to degrade the resin over time. In addition, the present invention introduces fresh, new or make-up resin in a manner that assures intimate and thorough intermixing of the new and recycled resin while minimizing the cost and complexity of the equipment employed for that purpose.

Title: Method and apparatus employing phase cycling for reducing crosstalk in downhole tools
Inventor: MORYS MARIAN
IPC: G01V11/00
Filed: 2003-06-26
Granted: 2007-04-10
Abstract: An apparatus and method for reducing crosstalk and other noise sources in downhole tools is disclosed. Due to confined space in the downhole tool environment and the fact that the transmit path utilizes significantly more electrical power than the receive path, electromagnetic noise easily couples between adjacent circuitry. The specification discloses a phase-reversal element that can selectively allow the received signal to pass unaffected, or which can cause a phase reversal of the received signal. A digital signal processor samples the received signal, which after receipt but before sampling has noise induced thereon. Thereafter, the digital signal processor samples the phase reversed received signal, which likewise has the noise induced thereon after receipt but before sampling. Subtracting the first sampled signal from the second produces a resultant signal in which the noise is substantially reduced.

Abstract: A modular air vent assembly kit can be used to cover duct openings that supply a flow of heated or cooled air to a room in addition to covering duct openings that receive return air from a room. The modular air vent assembly kit is comprised of a frame, a base (14), a damper mechanism (16), and two different face plates where the damper mechanism can be selectively assembled into the base (14) depending on whether control through the air vent by operation of a damper is needed in the particular duct opening and where either of the two face plates may be selectively connected with the base where one face plate has a lattice and is used in combination with the damping mechanism (16) and the other face plate has a series of louvers and is used when the damping mechanism is not used in the vent assembly. The frame is secured to an air duct opening and the base (14) and attached face plate are removably attachable to the frame without the need for separate fasteners.

Title: Compositions renfermant des composes organosilicies pour ameliorer la production d'hydrocarbures et methode pour les utiliser
Inventor: DAWSON JEFFREY C
IPC: E21B43/25
Filed: 2004-03-05
Granted: 2009-09-15
Abstract: Compositions utiles pour la réduction d'un excès d'eau dans des puits de pétrole ou de gaz et d'autres formations souterraines. Elles comprennent un organosilicium et une macromolécule de modification de la perméabilité relative (MPR). Cette MPR permet d'empêcher la production d'eau. L'organosilicium permet de former un silanol soluble dans l'eau par hydrolyse et est de préférence soit un halogénure d'organosilane soit un alcoxyde d'organosilane. La composition est introduite dans la formation souterraine à des fins de réduction sélective de la production excessive de fluides aqueux. Elle peut être utilisée dans des fluides de traitement de puits injectés dans des puits de production ou dans des puits d'injection. Ces compositions peuvent aussi être utilisées en conjonction avec des traitements de stimulation et avec l'injection d'autres fluides de traitement de puits. En introduisant la composition dans les passages de fluide de la formation, les zones produisant de l'eau peuvent être bloquées de manière sélective. La capacité des fluides à circuler dans les passages de fluide est donc réduite de manière sélective conduisant à une production moindre de fluides aqueux tout en maintenant la production d'hydrocarbures. Les résultats de tests de débit au niveau de la carotte ont montré une efficacité pour une perméabilité allant jusqu'à 7,0 darcy dans des conditions de débit élevé.

Abstract: Selon l'invention, l'imagerie s'effectue dans un format vidéo 24p et une image est enregistrée temporairement dans un dispositif d'enregistrement temporaire. Lorsqu'un signal vidéo est lu dans un format vidéo 60i, une conversion d'adaptation 2:3:3:2 a lieu, de façon à réduire le traitement de compression/décompression. Ici, la lecture est commandée par l'utilisation d'un chiffre de codage temporel qui sert de référence, de façon à maintenir le processus de conversion d'adaptation au cours de l'imagerie conjointe. A cet effet, une pluralité de processus de commande d'adaptation sont commutés afin d'obtenir un dispositif de conversion vidéo permettant une conversion vidéo optimale conformément aux exigences d'imagerie et au procédé d'édition.

Abstract: A method, system and a badge utilized therein utilize both the radio frequency (RF) and infrared (IR) parts of the electromagnetic spectrum to locate subjects (i.e. objects and persons) within a tracking environment. The system includes a battery-operated, microprocessor-based badge for each subject to be located. Each badge automatically transmits: (1) shorter interval, digitized, infrared light signals to identify a delimited area zone of its subject's location; (2) shorter interval, digitized, lower power RF signals to provide a local area zone of its subject's location; and (3) longer interval, digitized, higher power RF signals to provide a wide area zone of its subject's location. Each badge transmits uniquely identifiable IR and higher power RF signals upon actuation of one or more push button switches integrated on the badge or a change of state of one or more external switch connections. Each higher power, longer interval, RF signal is a "supervisory" pulse. This pulse informs a host computer that the badge is in range of an RF receiver and is functional.
