Title: Method for simulating operation of an electronic circuit
Inventor: PEKKER ALEXANDER
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 2005-04-26
Abstract: Operation of an electronic circuit is simulated. A plurality of data points (24) representing operation of the electronic circuit at a plurality of operating conditions are obtained. A boundary (23) that encompasses the plurality of data points (24) is constructed. The boundary (23) defines a bounded domain of operating conditions for the electronic circuit. A model function representing operation of the electronic circuit within and without the bounded domain of operating conditions is produced. The model function is determined within the bounded domain of operating conditions. The model function is extended outside the bounded domain so that all first order partial derivatives of the model function for operating conditions located outside and not near the boundary are large and positive. The model function is utilized to simulate operation of the electronic circuit.

Title: Method for providing a temporary barrier in a flow pathway
Inventor: RICHARD BENNETT M
IPC: E21B37/06
Filed: 2004-10-21
Abstract: A flow conduit (10) has at least one orifice (12) is in the vicinity of a flow source. The source is at least partially covered (and flow blocked by) an optional temporary coating or barrier. The flow pathway between the orifice and the source is temporarily blocked with a degradable material or barrier (18). The material disintegrates (e.g. under the influence of time or temperature) to optionally produce a product that removes the temporary coating in the area adjacent the barrier. The method is useful in one non-limiting context of recovering hydrocarbons where the flow conduit is the casing or liner of the well and the flow source is a subterranean reservoir where the temporary coating is a filter cake.

Title: Hazardous gas abatement system using electrical heater and water scrubber
Inventor: SHIBAN SAMIR S
IPC: B01D53/70
Filed: 2005-03-04
Abstract: A hazardous gas abatement system decontaminates an exit gas stream containing global warming gases using an electrical heater and a water scrubber. One or more top flow hazardous gas inlets introduce hazardous gases into a heater compartment. Air or oxygen is introduced into a separate chamber for dynamic oxidation and cooling. The streams are mixed and oxygen reacts with the hazardous gases. Solid particulates from the reaction are removed by a filter in a quick disconnect bottom chamber. Filtered exhaust gases flow upward in an exhaust chamber surrounding the heater compartment and through water spray scrubbers. A cleaning ring mounted on an eccentric rod cleans particles from the outside of the internal heater, and the inside of the external heater. An air cylinder drives the eccentric rod and cleaning ring down and up between the heaters and stores the ring above the gas inlets.
