Abstract: A slip spool for selectively supporting a tubing string suspended in a wellhead can be mounted to a wellhead. The slip spool has an axial passage to be aligned with the wellbore and at least two radial passages extending through a side wall of the slip spool and communicating with the axial passage. At least two slip anchors, each pivotally connecting with a wedge-shaped slip jaw, are slidably received within the respective radial passages. The slip spool further includes actuators for moving the respective combinations of the slip anchors and slip jaws between a retracted position in which the slip jaws clear the axial passage of the slip spool, and an extended position in which each wedge-shaped slip jaw is inserted into an annulus between the axial passage of the slip spool and tubing string to transfer the weight of the tubing string into a lateral gripping pressure exerted on the tubing string. The radial passages extend at an angle with respect to the axis of the axial passage which is much greater than the wedge angle of the slips, thereby reducing the total height of the slip spool which is convenient for well operation. The slip spool facilitates live well service operations.

Abstract: A device for preparing plastic material, in particular, thermoplastic material, comprises a receptacle (1) for the material, in which rotating tools (21) are provided to act onto the material which are supported by a support disc (9) and rotate about a vertical axis (8) of the receptacle (1). Driving of the support disc (9) is effected by a shaft (4) which passes through the bottom (3) of the receptacle (1) and is driven by a motor (5). The material is discharged from the receptacle (1) through a discharge opening (15) to which the housing (16) of a screw (17) is attached. The discharge opening (15) is provided within the same receptacle (1) and is situated below the path of rotation of the tools (21) and below the support disc (9). Additional moving tools (12) are provided within the same receptacle (1) below the support disc (9) which convey the material into the discharge opening (15). In this way a long dwelling time of the treated plastic material within the receptacle (1) is achieved so that constructive length and driving energy for the screw (17) are economized. A method for preparing such plastic material provides that the material is continuously treated within the same receptacle in two successive steps by means of two sets of tools arranged one above the other. In the first step carried out by the upper set of tools, the material is pre-comminuted and/or pre-heated and/or pre-dried and/or pre-mixed. In the second step carried out by the lower set of tools, the same treatment is effected, but less intensively as compared with the first step. The material thus treated is supplied by the tools of the second step to a screw which discharges the material from the receptacle.

Title: Biomedical information collection apparatus using closed air type sound sensor
Inventor: TAKASHIMA MITSURU
IPC: A61B5/0205
Filed: 2000-08-30
Abstract: Conventionally, when a biological information collecting device is used for measurement, an electrode is directly attached to a human body, accurate information cannot be collected and measurement through a lead wire is performed, for long time constraining the human body because of the lead wire. A device proposed to solve the problem comprises a capacitive sensor used for detecting a signal from the human body, and therefore the temperature characteristics are not good, bringing out a drawback that the signal varies in a low-frequency range. A biological information collecting device according to the invention comprises a closed pneumatic sound sensor having a gas-tight air bag made of soft rubber, plastic, or cloth or a cabinet made of metal, rubber, plastic, or wood. Biological information about the respiration, the cardiac rate (cardiac cycle), and the body movement due to, e.g. a cough or a snore is collected by a microphone of a pressure sensor to perform measurement without constraining the human body, thereby solving the problem of the conventional devices.

IPC: H04J11/00
Filed: 2001-01-02
Abstract: An approach for processing data received from a communications channel in finite precision arithmetic applications generally involves equalizing received data in the time domain prior to demodulation using finite impulse response (FIR) filtering. FIR coefficients used in FIR filtering are selected to minimize SNR degradation attributable to ISI and roundoff errors due to finite precision arithmetic, thereby maximizing channel capacity. The approach considers the communications channel noise attributable to crosstalk, white noise and analog to digital converter quantization noise, ISI attributable to failure of the equalizer coefficients to completely eliminate ISI, roundoff noise due to the use of finiteprecision arithmetic in the equalizer and roundoff noise due to the use of finite precision arithmetic in the FFT  algorithm.

Title: Flexible storage bag with audible closure indicator
Inventor: JACKSON BEVERLY JULIAN
IPC: B65D33/25
Filed: 2000-08-18
Abstract: The present invention provides a flexible storage bag having an opening, a closure system for the opening, and a closure indicator. The closure indicator provides an audibly detectable signal upon closure, and optionally opening, of the closure system. The closure system may provide a seal which is preferably closed by a translatable slider as is known in the art. The translatable slider may intercept protuberances causing the protuberances to produce a snap or clicking sound as the slider passes over the protuberances. Alternatively, the closure indicator may be an adhesive bond which is disrupted by the translation of the slider. The closure indicator is passive, meaning that no additional action beyond the ordinary and commonly accepted movement of the slider is required to produce the audible signal.

Patent CA-2387219-A1 (CA)
Inventor: VOGEL JAMES D
IPC: A23P30/00
Filed: 1998-12-14
Abstract: The present invention includes a dual purpose carbonator/blending bottle connected to a source of beverage syrup, a source of potable water and to a source of pressurized carbon dioxide gas. The dual purpose bottle is retained within an ice bank water bath tank. A pair of ratio valves provide for metering the water and syrup at a desired ratio. The mixed beverage first flows through a serpentine coil, also located in water bath, and then flow into the dual purpose bottle. A refrigeration system provides for cooling an evaporator located in the water tank for forming the ice bank thereon. The carbonated beverage then flows from the bottle into a freeze cylinder. The freeze cylinder also includes a further evaporator coiled around an exterior perimeter thereof. The freeze cylinder evaporator is connected to and cooled by the same refrigeration system that cools the evaporator in the water bath tank. A scraping mechanism within the cylinder provides for scraping frozen beverage from the inner surface of the cylinder. A control mechanism provides for controlling the refrigeration system and the cooling of both evaporators. The beverage is therefore pre-cooled to a temperature just above its freezing point before delivery to the freeze cylinder. Thus, less cooling power is needed to reduce the beverage to a frozen state. The present invention utilizes a method of controlling the operation of the refrigeration system and the cooling of both evaporators thereof. The control system provides for directing refrigerant to one or the other of the evaporators as is most efficient so as to avoid short cycling or pressure build up. The present invention uses a control strategy that can mote accurately maintain a pre-selected temperature differential between the inlet and outlet temperatures of the evaporators. The control algorithm utilizes a proportional integral differential control approach that safely permits a much narrower temperature difference so that a greater length of each freeze cylinder evaporator can be utilized for efficient heat transfer cooling.
