Abstract: Dans l'un des aspects de l'invention, on actionne ou commande des outils dans un puits, par expansion sélective de la paroi de l'outil. Afin d'actionner l'outil, on exerce une pression sur la paroi de celui-ci (225), vers l'extérieur, au-delà de la limite élastique de la paroi, laquelle se dilate physiquement et débloque un anneau de blocage (280), lequel à son tour débloque un piston (260). Ensuite, on utilise la différence de pression hydraulique pour le déplacement du le piston(260), afin que celui-ci actionne l'outil fond de trou. Dans un autre aspect de l'invention, on assemble un premier élément de tubage à un second élément de tubage de diamètre supérieur. L'expansion du diamètre du premier élément de tubage provoque l'entrée en contact de celui-ci avec le second élément, les deux étant alors assemblés, cet assemblage s'effectuant au moyen de formations hélicoïdales, de façon à ménager, autour de l'intersection des deux éléments, des trajets d'écoulement servant au passage de ciment ou d'un autre fluide.

Abstract: Print data suitable for printing or displaying a print image are generated by assigning print colors after color reduction using a process that removes color reduction noise and produces clear contours in the print image. A source data capturing unit (11) obtains source data containing image data and/or text data in plural colors. A data conversion unit (15) converts color data for each pixel in the source data to luminance data for each pixel. A color assignment unit (13) assigns a printable color to each pixel according to the luminance level of the converted luminance data. Source data is thus converted to luminance data, and usable colors are then assigned according to the brightness values of the image represented by the converted luminance levels. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method and system for controlling, configuring, and unlocking an electronic device utilizes a reading sensor for detecting a portion of an address pattern on a formatted surface. In particular, the address pattern on the surface is formatted such that a position on the address pattern can be determined by detecting only a small portion of the address pattern. A processor identifies whether the detected position of the address pattern is within an electronic reading device configuration area and, if so, converts position data received from the reading sensor into a configuration setting or control function for the electronic device. The conversion can be performed, for example, by translating the detected position(s) into an alphanumeric character. The configuration setting is then stored in the electronic reading device and/or in a server associated therewith or the control function is performed. Alternatively, instead of converting detected positions into a configuration setting, detected positions can be converted into an unlocking code (e.g., a PIN or signature), which is then compared with a stored user identifier. If a match occurs, the electronic reading device is enabled or unlocked.
