Title: Method for the removal and condensation of vapors
Inventor: PATTEN JAMES W
IPC: B01D53/02
Filed: 2010-12-16
Abstract: A method for removal and condensation of vapors from within an enclosed space (120) is disclosed. An enclosed space (120) containing material (110) is surrounded by an insulative permeable layer (130) having a lowering temperature gradient (230) between the inner surface (220) and the outer surfaces (240). The insulative layer (130) may also be covered by an impermeable layer (140). Heating the material (110) in the enclosed space (120) causes the formation of vapors at a positive pressure within the enclosed space (120). Vapors pass through the inner surface (220) of the insulative permeable layer (130) and contact the permeable materials and are condensed by the lowering temperature within the insulative layer (130). The condensate liquid passes downwardly through the insulative layer (130) for collection. The positive pressure within the heated enclosed space (120) and the condensation and lowering of pressure and temperature within the insulative layer (130) serves to draw additional vapors from within the enclosed space (120) into the insulative layer (130) for condensation and collection.

IPC: E21B47/12

Abstract: The present document describes a sensing apparatus for lowering into a well and cementing therein at a certain depth. The sensing apparatus comprises an elongated casing and a sensor device protruding from an outside surface of the elongated casing for generating measurement data and sending the data to the surface of the well using a cable extending from the sensor device along the outside surface of the casing. A flow of cement is provided between the outside surface of the casing and the well for cementing the casing in place and isolating different layers of the well. Presence of the sensor device and the cable creates an obstruction within the flow path of the cement which may result in the formation of micro-annulus around the sensor device and the cable. In order to address this problem, a plurality of fins is provided around the casing, the fins being shaped to cause a straight flow of cement received at the fins to rotate around the longitudinal axis of the casing when exiting the fins for increasing cement flow between the elongated casing and its surrounding environment to mitigate micro-annulus formation. Another means to address this problem is to provide cable attachments which distance the cable from the casing and thereby let cement flow between the cable and the casing also mitigating micro-annulus formation.

Abstract: Detection of a change in physical configuration of a discrete device with respect to an electronic device leads to responsively changing application functionality of the electronic device as a function, at least in part, of information provided by the discrete device. By one approach the detected change can pertain to movement of the discrete device with respect to the electronic device or orientation of a coupling of the discrete device to the electronic device. This information can comprise at least a unique identification code. In such a case these teachings will accommodate using the unique identification code to access a corresponding profile for the discrete device where the profile specifies at least one application to be presently made available using the discrete device.

Patent CA-2791197-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RAMM JUERGEN
IPC: C23C14/00
Filed: 2011-02-10
Abstract: This application relates to the reactive cathodic arc evaporation of the composite Al-Cr targets and the nucleation and phase formation of the synthesized Al-Cr-O layers. The oxygen partial pressure and the pulsed operation of the arc current influence the formation of intermetallic phases and solid solutions at the target surface. The nucleation of the ternary oxides at the substrate site appears to be, to some extent, controllable by the intermetallics or solid solutions formed at the target surface. A specific nucleation process at substrate site can therefore be induced by the free choice of target composition in combination with the partial pressure of the oxygen reactive gas. It also allows the control over the oxide island growth at the target surface which occurs occasionally at higher oxygen partial pressure. This is supported by the X-ray diffraction analysis of the layers as well as of the target surface.

Title: Structures et formulations de cristaux liquides pour dispositifs optiques a structure smectique a
Inventor: CLAPP TERRY VICTOR
IPC: C09K19/52
Filed: 2011-03-15
Abstract: La présente invention concerne des compositions de cristaux liquides de structure smectique A utilisables dans un dispositif optique dans lequel la composition est prise en sandwich entre une paire d'électrodes (12-15). La composition comprend, fondamentalement, un oligomère de siloxane (composant (a)) qui peut être utilisé pour l'élaboration d'un système SmA stratifié d'une « résistance » et d'un espacement particuliers. Au sein de cette structure, se trouve un corps mésogène nématique de faible masse moléculaire (composant (c)) qui peut être considéré comme un « plastifiant », capable de modérer la « résistance » de la couche, tout en permettant, dans le même temps, un ajustement plus aisé des propriétés de la composition, qu'il s'agisse par exemple de son indice de réfraction ou de son anisotropie diélectrique. L'addition d'un polysiloxane à chaîne latérale cristal liquide (composant (d)) permet à de tels systèmes d'être encore modérés, car ils peuvent être considérés comme liant ensemble les la>¾, tant au sein d'une couche donnée qu'entre les couches. Un dopant ionique (composant (b)) est également présent dans la composition et migre à travers celle-ci lorsque des champs électriques à basse fréquence sont appliqués à la composition par les électrodes, ce qui perturbe l'ordre de la composition. L'ordre de la composition peut être restauré grâce à l'application d'un champ à plus haute fréquence qui ne laisse pas suffisamment de temps au dopant pour migrer de façon significative. Des chromophores peuvent également être intégrés dans les formulations de l'invention.

Abstract: There is provided a method of initiating a network re - attachment procedure by a mobile device, the mobile device being attached to a network other than the home network of the mobile device, and wherein location information for the mobile device in said other network is stored in a visitor location register, VLR, in said other network, the method comprising transmitting a first signal between the home network and the mobile device, if the home network and/or the mobile device is aware that the mobile device is in a border cell of the visited network where there may or should be coverage from the home network. This first signal indicates that the network re - attachment procedure can be initiated, since it has been determined that the mobile device is in said border cell, the mobile device, when sending or receiving said first signal starts a timer. Subsequently, the home network transmits a second signal to the VLR of the visited network, which causes the location information relating to the mobile device to be deleted from the VLR. On expiry of a time period sufficient to allow the location imformation to be deleted from the VLR, the mobile device sends a service request to an MSC of the visited network and on rejection of the request to an MSC of the visited network and on rejection of the request (due to the fact that the mobile device is no longer known in the VLR), the mobile device initiates a network re - attachment (and hopefully registers with the home network).
