Title: A multi-step solvent extraction process for heavy oil reservoirs
Inventor: NENNIGER JOHN
IPC: E21B43/16
Filed: 2010-12-20
Abstract: There is disclosed a multi-step in situ extraction process for heavy oil reservoirs using a solvent having various steps, including, removing, from areas in contact with said heavy oil, solvent blockers to create voids and to increase an interfacial area of unextracted heavy oil contactable by said solvent and injecting solvent in vapour form into the voids to raise the reservoir pressure until sufficient solvent is present in a liquid form to fill the voids and to contact said increased interfacial area of said heavy oil. Next the reservoir is shut in for a period of time to permit said solvent to diffuse into said unextracted oil across said interfacial area from the solvent filled voids in a ripening step to create a reduced viscosity blend of solvent and oil and one or more reservoir characteristics is measured to confirm the extent of solvent dilution that has occurred of the unextracted oil in the reservoir. Then gravity drainage based production is started from the reservoir once the blend has a viscosity low enough to permit the blend to drain through said reservoir to a production well.

Title: Multi channel transaction authentication system
Inventor: CULYER ROBERT
IPC: G06Q20/38
Filed: 2014-06-16
Abstract: A user device e.g. a smartphone is registered with a trust module e.g. a server by providing user identification e.g. a primary account number (PAN), generating a shared secret at the trust module which is sent by post or via internet banking, entering the secret into the device and linking or bonding the device with the server using the user identification and a unique device identifier. The server or other means may calculate a trust score for a transaction which is used to determine whether a challenge should be sent to the user device, the user responding to the challenge method by clicking yes or answering a question to allow the transaction to proceed. Thus the challenge message is sent to the registered device regardless of where the transaction was initiated from, providing additional transaction security.

Title: Mobile device and communication control method
Inventor: OKUBO YUZURU
IPC: H04W4/24
Filed: 2014-07-28
Abstract: A mobile device is disclosed which communicates with a partner apparatus via a base station. The device stores a correspondence table associating wireless communication connection modes with numbers of connections, such as TCP connections, with the partner apparatus. The current connection mode of the mobile device is determined S402 and the number of connections is set based on the correspondence table S408. If the communication mode is a mobile telephone communication standard, the number of connections is preferably determined in advance for each standard S405; otherwise it can be determined in advance based on the connection speed S407. The number of connections may be reduced if the mobile device is determined to be moving at high speed or if it is connected to a low-speed network. A contract mode may be obtained for the mobile device, and if the mode is pay-for-use, the number of connections may be reduced. The number of connections may be set periodically. Dynamically changing the number of connections enables a plurality of connections to be used for communication methods having higher communication bandwidths, and can thus improve communication speeds. Meanwhile, a drop in communication speed can be suppressed when using methods having lower communication bandwidths.
