Title: Downhole running tool
Inventor: METCALFE PAUL DAVID
IPC: E21B17/06
Filed: 1997-12-13
Abstract: A downhole running tool 10 for use in positioning an item, such as a length of tubing 12, in a bore comprises an upper body portion 11 which is movable downwards relative to a lower body portion 22 to bring a sleeve 20 into engagement with an orifice element 40 provided at the lower end of body portion 22. Fluid pumped from the surface will result in an increase in fluid pressure which is communicated through the sleeve 20, via upper and lower sleeve ports 42,43 into respective upper and lower annular piston chambers 44,45. The increase in fluid pressure pushes pistons 50,51 towards one another to cam spring biassed keying members 34 to a retracted position out of engagement with profile 32 on tubing 12. A light jar shears pins 62 extending between body portion 22 and tubing 12 so that the tool 10 can then be pushed downwardly through tubing 12 with a cone 16 expanding the tubing to the desired diameter.

Title: Telescopic support device with wedging action
Inventor: JAMES ALEC CAMPBELL
IPC: A47B96/14
Filed: 1998-03-10
Abstract: A support device positionable by wedging between facing surfaces such as two walls or a floor and ceiling comprises an elongate body 12,13,14 which may be an adjustable spring-loaded telescopic curtain rod or a shelf, having a surface-contacting foot 18,19 at each end. The foot is linked to the body such that a relative displacement between the body and foot in a direction transverse to the body produces movement of the foot in a direction parallel to the body. As shown, balls 44,47 contact curved surfaces 45 whereby transverse movement of the body forces the feet outwards. Trigger 34 is associated with levers and springs which allow the length of the body to be telescopically adjusted before mounting.

Title: Recovery of gas from drilling fluid returns in underbalanced drilling
Inventor: SPEED DAVID
IPC: E21B41/00
Filed: 1998-04-07
Abstract: In a method and apparatus for recovering and recycling added gas from the drilling fluid returning from a well 3 undergoing underbalanced drilling, the returning fluid is separated into individual gas, liquid and solid streams in returns separator 5. The gas stream is then subjected to a further cleaning step 13 wherein it is passed through vertical centrifugal separator 33, glass fibre filter/coalescer 34 and in-line centrifugal separator 35 to remove sufficient entrained solids and liquid so that the gas obtained will be suitable as feed for compressor 15. The cleaned gas is then compressed to well injection pressure and is reinjected into the drilling fluid. A source of make-up added gas 16 may be necessary to supplement the cleaned gas in order to maintain the gas flow rate in the drilling fluid. Means 11 for controlled flaring of excess gas may also be included as the gas flow rate may exceed the recovery circuit capacity. The added gas is preferably nitrogen.

Title: A method for outputting user feedback audio messages and telecommunications equipment employing said method
Inventor: VONDER HAAR KIM MARIE
IPC: H04M1/724
Filed: 1998-04-15
Abstract: Speech messages as user feedback audio signals in electrical/electronic apparatus are more informative to users and better at holding their attention. However, in telecommunications equipment involving transmission of data or signals over a link that has finite capacity, speech messages as user feedback audio signals are considered undesirable due to their deleterious effect on transmission link capacity. In such equipment, user feedback audio signals normally comprise generic beeps consisting of single tones or a short series of discreet tones. The invention provides a method of providing plural signals as user feedback audio signals in telecommunications equipment where the total structure of the feedback signals encapsulates the underlying speech rhythms ie prosodic patterns of corresponding speech messages. In a digital system, the bit size of user feedback signals in accordance with the invention are no greater than those for the generic beeps presently employed.

Title: Waiter call system
Inventor: TOMIC ALEKSANDAR
IPC: G08B5/36
Filed: 1998-12-04
Abstract: A waiter should have a receiver (Fig. 2) hung, for example, on a front pocket of his uniform, with a transmitter (Fig. 1) on every table. When a guest activates the transmitter, the waiter gets a signal calling his attention to the table by means of a sound or vibration, and a display of the table ID at the receiver. This electronic system enables the guests to send signals at any time just by depressing a single key. Regardless of conditions in a restaurant (loud music, crowd, noise) and the position of a waiter, he can easily be informed of a number of a table which he is needed at. A guest can call on a waiter discretely. Waiters don't have to constantly watch the guests, nor be unnecessarily close to their tables.
