Patent CA-2468895-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GUILLORY BRETT W
IPC: E21B17/046
Filed: 2002-11-27
Abstract: Apparatus for attaching a downhole isolation, production, or testing tool is disclosed such that the tool is mechanically attached to a mandrel in a manner that is highly resistant to axial movement. The mechanical connection resists high temperatures, high pressures, and corrosive fluids and gases that may be encountered in the well without the use of welding to a casing mandrel. In general, the connection includes at least one groove or channel (48) cut in an outer wall of the casing mandrel, and at least one partially or fully annular slot (62) on the inside surface of the tool oriented to correspond with the groove(s) in the outer wall of the casing mandrel. At least one lock (64) is situated in the corresponding slot (62) and the groove (48). The lock (64) engages the flanks of the slot (62) and groove (48) sufficiently to resist shears loads applied by compression or tension in the string, and thereby restrains axial movement of the valve assembly relative to the casing mandrel.  In one embodiment, the lock is one or more wires (64), although other mechanical locking devices may be installed to provide the same function.

Title: Controlled delivery patch of active ingredient
Inventor: SHEFER SAMUEL
IPC: A61K33/00
Filed: 2003-03-03
Abstract: The present invention relates to a patch for controlled topical or transdermal delivery of effective levels of cosmetic, dermatological, and pharmaceutical active ingredients onto the skin, hair follicles, and sebaceous glands, with minimal discomfort and ease of use.

Title: System and method for synchronizing the configuration of distributed network management applications
Inventor: KORTRIGHT KRIS
IPC: H04L12/24
Filed: 2003-06-06
Abstract: A change management system to synchronize the configuration of network management applications. Traditional network management systems are maintained by hand~entering device lists into individual network management applications with no common-ties between the different applications. Whenever a network management application is changed or upgraded, it frequently becomes necessary to insure that the upgrade is populated throughout the network in order for devices to talk to one another in an error free way. The present invention is a system and method that automates the change management process in a real-time using a two-way communications model that permits a central database to affect changes on all or some network management applications/systems in the field, while also allowing those same field systems to affect the central database thereby reducing the time required for updating and monitoring a system when device changes take place.

Inventor: SCHULTE ROBERT A
IPC: F24C7/08
Filed: 2005-02-28
Abstract: A microwave cooking appliance includes an oven cavity, a magnetron and a load sensing system. The load sensing system is used to detects the presence of a load in the oven cavity by introducing a high frequency energy burst into the oven cavity, with the energy burst being reflected back. A controller, based on a time period between emitted and reflected signals, determines whether a load is present in the oven cavity.      If no load is present, operation of the magnetron is terminated.      Preferably, the high frequency energy burst is an ultrasonic acoustic frequency energy burst in a range between approximately 10kHz and 100kHz.

Filed: 2003-09-08
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the transmission of data telegrammes in a switched cyclical communication system, for example with a linear or ring arrangement of the users of said communication system (38, 39). According to the invention, real-time-critical data telegrammes are transmitted to a reserved first section (20) of a transmission cycle (31), without the need to first plan the transmission and reception times in the forwarding users, whereby the time for commencing (21) the first section (20) of a transmission cycle for all users in all transmission cycles, is guaranteed by monitoring.  The duration of the first section (20) of a transmission cycle (31) can thus, for example, be previously fixed or adjustable, or, preferably, can be automatically adjusted by means of a time-out method.

Inventor: NG PHILIP S
IPC: G11C7/12
Filed: 1999-04-09
Abstract: A serial memory device (100) includes a Y decoder (108) and sensing circuitry (220-231; 720-723; 226-231; 820-827) which provide a predictive mode of operation, wherein data sensing of a target memory location begins before its address is fully known by sensing the data lines of a number of possible memory locations including the target location. The method and apparatus includes sensing first data bits of possible memory locations when some but not all of the address bits are clocked in. As additional address bits are clocked in, additional data bits are sensed. By the time the target address has been fully received, sensing of its first data bits will have completed so that serial outputting of the target memory can begin on the next clock. This sense-ahead feature permits an increase in the internal clock frequency without affecting external timing constraints imposed by the various serial memory device interfaces.
