Patent GB-2488701-A (GB)
Title: Auxiliary conduit cutting apparatus
Inventor: GUIDRY CHRISTOPHER W
IPC: E21B29/04
Filed: 2010-12-28
Abstract: A cutting assembly for external conduits on a tubing string or main tubular conduit features at least one breakaway in the string that can be severed with a tensile force. Preferably each external conduit is run through a cutter housing that is integral with a passage having threaded end connections. While in some scenarios it is preferred that the main tubular conduit is severed below the cutting assembly thus allowing the cutting apparatus to be retrieved with the upper portions of the cut main tubular conduit and external longitudinal member(s), in other circumstances it may be desired that the main tubular conduit is severed above the cutting assembly allowing the cutting apparatus to be left "downhole" with the lower portion of the cut main tubular conduit and the BHA. The cutter knife assembly chambers or channels can be in banks that are axially spaced using bypass channels to access lower banks. The cutter knife assembly and associated channels can be mirror images so that the external conduits can be cut regardless of where the tubing string is severed and one or more conduits can be cut with a single cutter assembly.

Title: Emitting coherent output from multiple execution threads using the printf command
Inventor: JONES STEPHEN
IPC: G06F9/50
Filed: 2012-06-11
Abstract: Disclosed is a method for emitting coherent output from multiple threads using the printf() function. The method comprises receiving a printf command for execution by multiple threads, the contents of the printf string in each thread is examined, including a format string and data elements referenced by the printf command. Next, the thread specific amount of memory needed to store the contents of the printf string is determined for each thread. Next, for each of the determined thread specific amounts of memory allocating contiguous portions of memory in a buffer. The buffer is written to by the threads and read by a display processor. Then each thread indicates when its portion of the memory is ready to be read and formatted by the display processor as specified by the format string.

Title: Multiple hardware registers for watchdog timer preventing erroneous microprocessor system reset
Inventor: OLSEN LASSE
IPC: G06F1/24
Filed: 2012-06-26
Abstract: A microprocessor comprises a watchdog timer capable of resetting the system, where multiple hardware registers 4 are arranged logically so that a collective state of the registers resets the watchdog counter 8 and prevents the system from resetting. The device further comprises software 2 with functions arranged to place the registers in the desired state if each of the software functions has executed properly. The software may write a bit to the registers following successful execution, so that the timer is reset if each register records the same bit. The registers may be reset automatically, preferably in conjunction with the reset of the watchdog timer. This prevents a software malfunction directly causing a reset of the timer.

Title: Multi-stage register renaming using dependency removal and renaming maps.
Inventor: JACKSON HUGH
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 2012-08-07
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of multi-stage register renaming using dependency removal. The first stage of the method involves removing all the dependencies within a set of instructions using a fixed hardware mapping. The final stage then renames all registers in parallel using a renaming map. The dependencies may be removed by renaming all destination registers and any dependent registers with one of a set of additional registers using the fixed mapping, then passing the details of which additional register was used to the final stage. The fixed mapping between destination and additional registers may be based on the physical position of the destination registers. The final stage may include updating the renaming map, which may include updating entries in the renaming map associated with each destination register based on details passed from the first stage and updating the entries in the renaming map associated with each additional register to map them to unassigned physical registers.

Title: A fluid flow control device for a double-acting piston actuator
Inventor: FISHWICK JAMES
IPC: F15B13/042
Filed: 2012-08-09
Abstract: First 64 and second 66 supply valves selectively block fluid flow between an inlet 1 and first 2 and second 4 outlets. A first exhaust valve 63 selectively blocks fluid flow between a first outlet 2 and a first exhaust port 3. A second exhaust valve 65 selectively blocks fluid flow between a second outlet 4 and a second exhaust port 5. A reciprocating piston 35 and valve stem 36 in the housing 25 is engagable with each of the valves 63-66. The piston 35 is moveable in response to a difference in forces applied by the fluid pressure of the pilot signal and the fluid pressure at one of the exhaust ports 3,5. It is moveable between a first position in which all valves 63-66 are in the closed positions, a second position in which the first supply 64 and exhaust 63 valves are open and the second supply 66 and exhaust 65 valves are closed, and a third position in which the second supply 66 and exhaust 65 valves are open and the first supply 64 and exhaust 63 valves are closed. At least one biasing member biases the valves 63-66 to the closed position. At least one leak path is defined in each of the valves 63-66 so as to ensure equalisation of pressures across them.

Title: Asset tracking in process control environments
Inventor: IMMING DAVID P
IPC: H04W4/029
Filed: 2012-08-28
Abstract: An asset tracking system for use in a process control environment may include one or more asset tracking devices and an asset tracking host 41. The asset tracking device may receive signals corresponding to a position or location of an asset to be tracked, and may communicate, using an industrial automation protocol such as wireless HART(RTM), an indication of the position to the asset tracking host. The signals may be GPS signals that are re-radiated into the process control environment. Other information, such as environmental data, may be communicated in conjunction with the position of the asset. The asset tracking host may store and/or display the data or information included in the message, and may send a different message to the asset tracking device. An asset tracking device may be included in a field device 30-36, a network device, or a portable communications device used in the process control environment. By leveraging industrial automation protocol messages to transmit location information across the existing process control network, the need for a second network for asset or personnel tracking is avoided.

Title: Transmission having park pawl which is engaged after momentarily engaging neutral
Inventor: CLARKE RICHARD
IPC: F16H63/34
Filed: 2012-09-04
Abstract: A method or control system of engaging a park pawl in a vehicle 11 having an engine 12 and front wheel drive automatic transmission 13. A selector shaft of the transmission 13 is coupled to an electric actuator 14 mounted on a transmission casing, and is controlled via an electric cable 15 extending to a rotary selector 16 mounted on a vehicle centre console 17. When on a slope, selection of PARK via the rotary selector 16 does not immediately cause a park pawl to engage. The actuator is commanded to engage an electronic park brake, and momentarily engage or hold NEUTRAL for a short period, typically less than 500 milliseconds before allowing the park pawl to engage. This delay, whilst the vehicle park brake is engaged, allows any residual torque in the transmission to dissipate. The vehicle park brake may be associated with a driven or non-driven axle.

Title: Chain lubrication retainer and protector
Inventor: ELIZAGA JIMMY FRANCIS
IPC: B62J13/02
Filed: 2012-12-07
Abstract: A chain lubricant retainer comprises a flexible insulation that encapsulates an outer side of a drive chain and is attached to and moving with every chain link, holding the chain. The retainer has a petroleum/oil proof foam strip which holds and releases lubricant as and when required, thereby ensuring complete lubrication of all of the drive chain's moving points. By encapsulating the outer side of the chain, it is possible to retain the lubricating agent, against centrifugal force, making the lubricating agent permanently available for all of the chains moving components, for the main purpose of friction reduction. Such encapsulation also protects the chain from the all the outside elements, e.g. dust or dirt, salt from road and off road use, all of which causes early deterioration to the drive chain. This device will extend chain life by a significant margin.
