Title: System and method for anchoring an explandable tubular to a borehole wall
Inventor: WUBBEN ANTONIUS LEONARDUS MARIA
IPC: E21B23/01
Filed: 2010-08-26
Abstract: The present invention provides a system for anchoring an expandable tubular to a borehole wall. The system comprises a support member having a first end fixed relative to the outside of the tubular and a second end comprising a ramping surface. An anchor member has a first end fixed relative to the outside of the tubular and a second end extending toward the support member, said second end being movable relative to the outside of the tubular. Said support member includes a ramp surface that tapers in the direction of said anchor member. Expansion of the portion of the expandable tubular between the first support end and the first anchor end causes the axial device length to shorten, wherein the difference in length is sufficient to cause the second anchor end to move radially outward and engage the borehole wall as a result of engagement with said ramping surface.

Title: Method of manufacturing plastic articles
Inventor: KUTLUOGLU OMER
IPC: B29C44/06
Filed: 2012-03-20
Abstract: A manufacturing cycle process with a cycle time of less than 50 minutes comprises starting with a mould formed from first and second complementary parts, the mould being in an open configuration at a temperature between room temperature and about 100Â°C, closing the mould and heating the mould arts at least on their facing portions to a temperature between about 100Â°C and about 400Â°C, opening the mould whilst actively heating the mould parts, contacting the mould parts with plastic particulate material, contacting the plastic particulate material on at least one mould part with heat activated expandable foam material, melting or sintering the plastic particulate material into a moulded skin with a thickness between about 0.001 cm and 3 cm, closing the mould allowing hat from the mould parts to activate the heat activated expandable foam material to form a composite sandwich article, opening the mould cooling the mould parts to the starting temperature and removing the article from the mould. Keeping the mould closed during heating increases heating rate and reduces heat losses and so reduces manufacturing cycle time and improves energy efficiency.

Title: Diversity receiver using bit reliability indications when processing three or more copies of a packet
Inventor: ACHIR MOUNIR
IPC: H03M13/11
Filed: 2012-03-27
Abstract: A diversity receiver receiving three or more copies of a data unit (e.g. packet) 707 determines respective bit reliability indications for corresponding bits of the received data units 708, each bit reliability indication being indicative of potential corruption of the respective bit by a transmission error. A bit value that is in a minority of the bit values of the corresponding bits is selected in the case where its respective reliability indication is indicative of a better reliability than the others, i.e. a minority bit value is chosen when it is deemed to be more reliable than a majority decision rule. When two copies of a data unit are received 703, a data unit is chosen on the basis of data unit reliability indications 704, 705. The data units are encoded by an error correcting code having a set of parity check conditions, e.g. low-density parity-check code (LDPC), and reliability indications are obtained based on the outcome of verification of the parity check conditions.

Title: A method of enabling a user of a communications capable device to make a payment via a mobile operator billing system
Inventor: WALSH DAMIEN
IPC: H04W4/24
Filed: 2012-04-17
Abstract: A method of enabling a user of a communications capable device to make a payment via a mobile operator billing system comprises determination by an authentication server of a user identifier string for sending to a communications capable device. The user identifier string is determined according to a probability of successful entry by a user which may be dependent on the characteristic of the communications capable device. The user identifier string is linked to the content item data and the string sent to the communications capable device. The user responds, via a mobile network, by sending a short message service (SMS) based user response. The response is compared to previously transmitted user identifier messages, and a billable user identity data appended to the SMS by the mobile network can be used to associate the transaction in process with billable identity data derived from the carrier data to enable a user's mobile phone account to be billed for the purchase. The user identifier string may be sent to the communications capable device without using a mobile phone network and in particular via an internet connection channel. The SMS based user response may comprise an identifier of the mobile device and a mobile network operator (MNO) identifier.

Title: Data directed storage of imaging mass spectra
Inventor: BROWN JEFFERY MARK
IPC: H01J49/00
Filed: 2014-03-14
Abstract: Methods of ion imaging are disclosed in which a sample is scanned at a fixed spatial resolution. A determination is made at each pixel location as to whether mass spectral data acquired at said pixel location satisfies a condition/criterion, such as whether said data includes ions having an intensity above a threshold and/or one or more mass-to-charge ratios of interest and/or one or more mobilities of interest. If said mass spectral data meets the condition then it is stored, recorded or prioritised; but if said data does not meet the condition then said data is discarded or downgraded. Preferably, the determination of whether data passes or fails the criterion is performed during acquisition. However, said determination can instead be performed as a post-processing step.
