Title: Sub surface horizontal gas restrictor
Inventor: MACK JOHN J
IPC: E21B43/12
Filed: 2002-10-29
Granted: 2007-03-13
Abstract: An intake assembly for a well pump restricts gas entry into the pump when the pump is located in a horizontal section of the well bore. The restrictor is located within a tubular intake housing. The intake housing has apertures for receiving the flow of well fluid. The apertures are spaced circumferentially around the housing. Once installed in the well, some of the apertures will be at higher elevations than others. The restrictor partially blocks at least one of the higher elevation apertures and opens at least one of the lower elevation apertures. The gas will be at the higher elevations, thus it is restricted from flowing in through the higher elevation aperture while the liquid freely flows into the lower elevation aperture. The restrictor may be of a buoyant material to float upward in the well fluid. The restrictor may also be open in response to contact with the casing wall.

Abstract: Hardware acceleration of the rendering and animation of characters that treat each pixel sub-component as a distinct luminance intensity source.  A bit-map representation of the sub-component-oriented character is generated by using a single image sample to generate each pixel sub-component. This may be accomplished by, for example, overscaling a representation of the character, placing the overscaled representation of the character on a grid, and then assigning a luminance and possibly a transparency value to each grid position based on the properties of the overscaled character at that grid position.  Then, the character is rendered by interfacing with a hardware graphics unit that performs the final rendering and animation of the character.

Abstract: We present a method and apparatus for performing adaptive data compression. An alphabet and vocabulary in the encoder and decoder is built adaptively and stored in a dictionary as symbols are to be encoded and decoded. Each time an unknown symbol is to be encoded by the encoder, the encoder adds the symbol to the dictionary and transmits it in plain in the encoded string. The code words transmitted by the encoder include symbols and indexes. The state of a prefix bit preceding the code word indicates whether the code word is a plain symbol or an index of a symbol or string of symbols stored in the dictionary. The decoder examines the prefix bit of each code word as it is received to determine if the code word stores a symbol in plain or in index. If the code word stores a symbol in plain, the decoder learns the symbol by adding a sequence of symbols resulting from the concatenation of previously decoded symbols and the first symbol of the currently decoded symbol and by adding the symbol to its dictionary. If the code word stores an index, the decoder decodes the code word by extracting the symbol or sequence of symbols stored in the dictionary at the respective index in the dictionary.

Abstract: A wired and wireless communication method and apparatus for reducing a PAPR  (Peak to Average Power Ratio) in an OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) system. A transmitter of the OFDM system designates, as a coset leader, a vector capable of minimizing a PAPR in a general standard array of (n, k) linear block codes and transmits a sequence having a minimum PAPR by adding each coset leader to an n-bit codeword corresponding to k-bit information and producing U (.iexcl.Â2n-k) number of vectors. Then, a receiver of the OFDM system can easily recover an original transmission signal using a syndrome of a received vector if the receiver identifies information of the syndrome and the coset leader.

Abstract: A hydraulic oil well pump drive system for driving an oil well sucker rod (not shown) includes a master piston positioned within a master cylinder for axial displacement between first and second ends of the master cylinder. The master piston has a piston drive rod which extends through one end of the master cylinder.  The drive rod is connected to a crankpin of an eccentric crank. The eccentric crank is driven at a constant rotational speed to reciprocate the master piston within the master cylinder at a sinusoidal rate. A center seal assembly divides the master cylinder into a working chamber and a pressure chamber in opposite ends of the master cylinder. Each respective chamber defines a fluid volume which varies with the displacement of the master piston. The master piston displacement creates a bi-directional flow of working fluid from the working chamber. A wellhead hydraulic assembly is operably connected to the oil well sucker rod and is in fluid communication with the master cylinder working chamber to receive the working fluid flow. The wellhead hydraulic assembly is responsive to the working fluid flow to reciprocate an oil well sucker rod at a rate which relates to the rate of master piston displacement. A gas accumulator is in fluid communication with the master cylinder pressure chamber to bias the master piston toward the master cylinder working end, providing an upward biasing force at the wellhead hydraulic assembly.
