Title: Orienting conduits and tools in well-bores
Inventor: HUBER KLAUS B
IPC: E21B43/119
Filed: 2004-05-13
Abstract: A method and apparatus for orienting conduits such as tubular strings, including expandable casings, tubings and lining; and orienting tools within an installed casing, particularly in non-vertical or deviated well-bores, involves applying a rotational force to the section to be oriented. A swivel (105) may be connected between upper and lower sections, and an eccentric alignment weight 109 may be attachable and retrievable or integrally formed on the inside of the section, off-centre to the rotational axis of the section to allow gravitational forces to orientate instruments 201, lines 207 and transmitters/receivers 503, 507 on the section. Further liners or tools may then be oriented with respect to the conduit by gravity orientation or by attribute orientation which includes mechanical means (eg. by slot and protrusion, Fig 6), correlation of signals, visual indications or by applying a rotary force to an upper section of tubing. In this way, damage to instruments can be avoided during perforating operations.

Title: Coloured fishing depth measure
Inventor: DYMOW EMIL
IPC: G01F23/00
Filed: 2004-07-15
Abstract: A Fishing Depth Measure consisting of a housing (1) and (2). The housing (1) is attached to the end of an extendable fishing pole using the pole attachment loop (6 figure 9). A tape colour-coded on both sides (7 figure 8), where the colour coding (12 figure 8) represents different depths of water, is wound within the housing (1) and a weight (10) is attached to its end. The colour-coded tape (7) is released from the housing (1) by the weight (10) and is lowered into the water until at the water's bed. The depth of the water can be established using the colour-code and number (12) on the tape at the waters surface. This colour code is matched to an identical colour-coded winder/rig containing the correct length of fishing line (figure 10 and figure 11) thus quickly and easily ensuring an accurate fishing depth is obtained.

Title: Accessing external memory from an system on a chip integrated circuit
Inventor: INGRAM GRAEME LESLIE
IPC: G06F13/14
Filed: 2005-09-08
Abstract: A system on a chip integrated circuit and method of operating the circuit to access external memory are disclosed. The integrated circuit comprises interconnect logic for coupling master logic units and slave logic units to enable data transactions to be performed. Each transaction comprising an address transfer from a master unit to a slave unit and one or more data transfers between that master logic unit and that slave logic unit. At least one master logic unit is operable when seeking to access data from an external memory to initiate a transaction by issuing the address transfer via the interconnect logic, the transaction having format information associated therewith used to format the one or more data transfers of the transaction for transfer over the interconnect logic. A memory controller acts as a slave logic unit for the transaction, and is coupled to the external memory via an external bus. The memory controller processes the transaction by issuing one or more commands to the external memory over the external bus to cause one or more external data transfers to take place between the memory controller and the external memory. The memory controller can select an external format for the one or more external data transfers having regard to at least one predetermined constraint of the external memory and the format information of the transaction.

IPC: G08B13/14
Filed: 2006-03-21
Abstract: A proximity alarm consisting of two units - a Phone and a Tag - which alerts the user when the Tag moves more than a pre-selected distance from the Phone. The invention combines existing proximity alarm technology with a Software application and Phone technology to create a new function for Phones. The Phone and Tag are able to communicate with each other via encoded radio waves. The encoding allows the Phone and Tag to differentiate themselves from other similar devices. The Phone is able to calculate approximately how far away the Tag is by radio communication (or lack of it). The Phone is able to alert the user via its alarm systems when the pre-selected distance is exceeded. The Tag can also be configured to emit alarm signals when the pre-selected distance is exceeded.

Title: Virtual file system with links between data streams
Inventor: WORRALL DAVID TOM
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2006-06-30
Abstract: Data within a virtual file system is stored as data streams 1401, 1411, 1421, 1431, 1441. The streams are stored as operating system files in an unstructured arrangement. A stream 1401 contains data 1402, 1404 and references 1403 to other data streams 1411. Different users may use different virtual file systems to access the same streams. The streams may be stored on several networked computers and be accessible from them. The streams may appear as files with each file identifier corresponding to a stream. When reading a file an application may read the data 1402 from the corresponding stream 1401 up to the reference 1403 and then read data 1402-1404 from the data stream 1411 to which the reference refers. Then the application may resume reading data 1404 from the original stream. The system may use an index 1451 to map the data streams to operating system files.
