Title: Reduction of Motion Artifacts in NMR
Inventor: BLANZ MARTIN
IPC: G01V3/32
Filed: 2005-05-05
Abstract: NMR spin echo signals, acquired on a MWD logging tool, are susceptible to errors if the magnet on the logging tool is moving relative to the earth magnetic flux density. The errors can be corrected by having the excitation pulse cover a smaller or a larger volume than the refocusing pulses. Correction may also be made by comparison of pulse sequences with different sensitivities to motion, by obtaining a corrected signal through calculating an average, integral, weighted average or comparing selected signals. The differing sensitivities to motion can be obtained for example by the use of different wait times in the pulse sequence or different gradients.

Title: Liquid carbon dioxide cleaning of wellbores and near-wellbore areas using high precision stimulation
Inventor: WILSON DENNIS RAY
IPC: E21B21/00
Filed: 2007-12-17
Abstract: A method to clean a wellbore and the near wellbore area adjacent to the wellbore of a hydrocarbon bearing and/or coal bed methane formation adjacent to the production zone of the wellbore is provided. Specifically, a method for removing liquids such as water and/or oil from the near wellbore formation is provided. Furthermore, A method to clean a casing inserted into a wellbore is also disclosed. A method for cleaning a wellbore of fracturing fluid, with or without proppant is also disclosed. Each of the methods includes the steps of injecting either liquid carbon dioxide or a treatment medium comprising liquid carbon dioxide into a wellbore through tubing such that the location at which the treatment medium is administered may be controlled. In some embodiments, pressure within the wellbore is regulated in order to either maintain the treatment medium in the liquid state, or allow at least a portion of the treatment medium to vaporize upon introduction into the wellbore. Once the treatment medium has at least partially vaporized it will loosen and/or entrain undesirable materials from within the wellbore or casing, and may also act to mobilize any water and/or oil present by causing the water to effervesce and/or by dissolving any oil. These processes may act to defeat capillary pressure mobilizing the water and/or oil such that it may be blown or pumped to the surface or, if the present invention is practiced in a coal bed methane formation, may be driven into the coal bed methane formation such that it may no longer impose a barrier to methane production. In certain embodiments, the gaseous portion of the treatment medium is allowed to escape through the wellhead, carrying with it the undesirable materials.

Title: Biodiesel blending detection in an internal combustion engine
Inventor: CIARAVINO CLAUDIO
IPC: F02D19/08
Filed: 2009-10-19
Abstract: A method for biodiesel blending detection in a internal combustion engine comprises at least the following steps: a first evaluation of the internal mean effective pressure (IMEP) by means of measurements provided by a first sensor whose output is representative of the actual IMEP value; a second evaluation of IMEP performed using the engine's electronic control unit (ECU) by measuring fuel conversion efficiency (FCE), injected fuel quantity (Qfuel) and lower heating value (LHV) and determining discrepancies of values obtained from the respective evaluations. The proportion of biodiesel in the fuel blend is thus determined using only existing sensors. The determination of biodiesel blending may use a pre-calculated correlation set of values between the discrepancy and a biodiesel/petrodiesel percentage. The first evaluation may be performed by integrating the in-cylinder pressure trace provided by pressure-sensing glow plugs.

Title: Torque meters included in epicyclic transmission gearing
Inventor: FERGUSON DEREK PETER DOUGLAS
IPC: F16H1/28
Filed: 1958-03-28
Abstract: 861,158. Rotary transmission dynamometers. NAPIER & SON Ltd., D. March 20, 1959 [March 28, 1958], No. 10098/58. Class 106 (2). A torque meter forms part of epicyclic differential gearing including an internally-' toothed annulus gear 14 surrounded by an annular casing 15, the gear and the casing being provided with a series of circumferentiallyspaced vanes 18, 19 alternating with one another to form a series of hydraulic pockets 21, the inlet passages 22 to these pockets being fully open under all conditions and means 24 for controlling the drop in pressure in the outlet passages 26 continuously and automatically in dependence on the degree of rotational movement of the gear 14 relative to the casing 15. A series of low-pressure pockets 20 is connected permanently to drain by passages 27, and the high pressure pockets 21 are connected permanently to the supply gallery 23 by passages 22, a pressure-gauge 37 indicating the pressure in the gallery 23. The outlet from the highpressure pockets 21 is by a gap (shown in Fig. 3, which is a radial view) between end portions 24, 25 of the vanes 18 and the side walls 16, 17 of the fixed outer casing 15, the fluid then flowing to drain by way of outlet orifices 26 formed in the side walls. Thus movement of the annulus gear relative to the casing 15 will vary the length of the gap, and hence the rate of flow of fluid from the high-pressure pockets 21 will also vary. Thus, when the gearing is transmitting a torque, the pressure in the pockets 21 will be varied by rotation of the annulus gear until it balances the reaction torque. The pressuregauge 37 will then provide an indication of the torque being transmitted. Spring-pressed members 30 formed with ribs 32, 33 are used to seal the high-pressure pockets 21. Specification 743,418 is referred to.
