Title: Borehole imaging and standoff determination using neutron measurements
Inventor: MICKAEL MEDHAT W
IPC: E21B47/09
Filed: 2009-02-10
Abstract: Apparatus and methods for determining borehole diameter and standoff for neutron porosity logging systems. The apparatus comprises an isotopic neutron source, a single epithermal neutron detector and two thermal neutron detectors, where all detectors are at different axial spacings from the neutron source. Thermal neutron porosity is determined from the combined response of the thermal neutron detectors. Epithermal neutron porosity is determined from the response of the single epithermal neutron detector. Embodied as a wireline system, a difference between thermal neutron porosity and epithermal neutron porosity is used to compute a tool standoff, which in turn is used to correct the thermal neutron porosity for effects of standoff. Borehole size measurements are made independently and preferably with a mechanical caliper of a density tool subsection. Embodied as a LWD system, the difference between thermal neutron porosity and epithermal neutron porosity is used to correct the thermal neutron porosity measurement for both borehole diameter and radial position (standoff) of the tool within the borehole.

Title: Wear member for excavating equipment
Inventor: COOPER BODIE DELANE
IPC: E02F3/36
Filed: 2009-07-09
Abstract: A wear member for attachment along the digging edge of excavating equipment that includes ridges formed along its front working end. As the front end wears away, the tips of the ridges along the front of the wear member project forward to define a serrated penetrating edge. A serrated front edge is able to more easily cut into and through the ground. The ridges may be arranged in a generally axial direction along the front working end to present a reduced surface area to contact the ground for easier penetration. The ridges provide the front working end with sufficient rigidity and strength without unduly enlarging the surface area of the penetrating edge that initiates contact with the ground.

Abstract: A non-ferrous metal melting furnace includes a non-ferrous metal melt pump, a vortex chamber body, and a magnetic field device formed of permanent magnets. The vortex chamber body makes a non-ferrous metal melt flow into a vortex chamber from an inlet, makes the non-ferrous metal melt flow in a spiral shape by applying a driving force to the non-ferrous metal melt in the vortex chamber, and discharges the non-ferrous metal melt from the vortex chamber to an outlet. The magnetic field device formed of permanent magnets is disposed outside the vortex chamber and below a bottom plate of the vortex chamber, and applies the driving force to the non-ferrous metal melt by an electromagnetic force that is generated by current flowing in the non-ferrous metal melt and magnetic lines of force from the magnetic field device formed of permanent magnets. The vortex chamber body includes a spiral flow channel that is formed from the inlet to the outlet.  The inlet and the bottom plate face each other in an up-and-down direction. The outlet is opened in a substantially horizontal direction. The bottom plate forms a flat surface following a horizontal plane. A first electrode is disposed on an inner surface of the bottom plate. Second electrodes face the inner surface of the bottom plate in an up-and-down direction, and are disposed on an inner surface of a top plate of the vortex chamber so that current flows between the first electrode and the second electrodes.  The magnetic field device formed of permanent magnets is disposed below the bottom plate of the vortex chamber of the vortex chamber body and outside the vortex chamber so as to face the bottom plate in an up-and-down direction. The flow-in direction of the non-ferrous metal melt that flows into the vortex chamber, and the direction of the magnetic lines of force that are generated by the magnetic field device formed of permanent magnets follow the up-and-down direction.

Title: Methods and apparatus for use in controlling the selection of communication networks while connected in a generic access network
Inventor: WIJAYANATHAN MAIYURAN
IPC: H04W8/18
Filed: 2008-06-06
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for use by a mobile communication device in controlling the selection of communication networks for communications are described. In one illustrative example, the mobile device maintains a communication link with a radio access network (RAN) (e.g. an IEEE 802.11-based wireless network). The RAN is part of a generic access network (GAN) which further includes a gateway controller. The mobile device maintains, via the GAN, a service connection for a voice and/or data service with a core network of a visited Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN). The mobile device repeatedly performs actions while the service connection with the core network associated with the visited PLMN is maintained. Specifically, the mobile device operates to set and run a timer and, in response to an expiration of the timer, the mobile device sends, to a gateway controller via the RAN, a service connection request for a service connection with a core network of a home PLMN of the mobile device. If the service connection request is accepted, the mobile device operates to establish and maintain, via the GAN, a service connection with the core network of the home PLMN for communications. If this service connection request is not accepted, however, the mobile device operates to select an alternative visited PLMN from a preferred list of visited networks if the alternative visited PLMN has a higher priority in the list than the visited PLMN. In this case, the mobile device sends to a gateway controller a service connection request for a service connection with a core network of the alternative visited PLMN.
