Patent NO-20051610-D0 (NO)
Inventor: DRZEWIECKI LOPEK
IPC: E21B19/24
Filed: 2005-03-31
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for locating a member (27) within an aperture are disclosed. One preferred apparatus includes a housing (10) containing at least one rotatably connected ring (14), and a plurality of tie members (22) spaced evenly about the perimeter of the ring (14). The tie members (22) are connected to the rotating ring (14) and the housing (10) such that rotation of the ring (14) pulls the tie members (22) taut across the inside of the ring (14). Rotating the ring (14) in the opposite direction returns the tie members (22) to their initial orientation. When the tie members (22) are taut, they urge a member (27) passing through an opening towards the centre of the apparatus. When the apparatus is installed in a drilling rig floor, it results in a simple and effective pipe centring technology.

Patent GB-201122238-D0 (GB)
Title: DC offset
Filed: 2011-12-23
Abstract: A method for estimating an unwanted component (noise) that a receiver introduces into a received signal (201, Figure 2) at a known frequency, the method comprising applying a frequency offset to a signal 102, which comprises a wanted component at the known frequency, to form an offset signal having a frequency spectrum (302, Figure 3) in which the wanted component is not positioned at the known frequency, processing the offset signal in the receiver 103 and estimating a component positioned at the known frequency in the frequency spectrum of the processed signal 104. The estimated component will correspond to the unwanted component, for example at DC, introduced by processing the signal at the receiver. This estimated unwanted component can therefore be estimated and removed, i.e. subtracted, from the processed received signal 105. The method in one embodiment therefore provides a DC offset estimation and compensation arrangement. The frequency offset may be applied at the receiver or at the transmitter. The signal may comprise a synchronization portion (202, Figure 2) consisting of a series (206, Figure 2) of identical repeated blocks (207, Figure 2) and in one embodiment only the synchronization portion is frequency offset. The synchronization portion may have a frequency spectrum (301, Figure 3) comprising a plurality of equally spaced peaks and the frequency offset may be set to be equal to an odd-multiple half of the spacing between two of the peaks. The frequency offset may be reversed once the estimated unwanted component has been removed from the signal. The unwanted component introduced by the receiver may be due to a number of factors such as noise or offset introduced from amplification, mixing or filtering etc. stages.

Granted: 1985-08-29
Abstract: An electromagnetic relay has a hallow coil body and coil having a longitudinal axis with a bar-shaped armature pivotably mounted for movement in and extending through the coil body, a permanent magnet arrangement having polarization directions perpendicular to the coil axis, two yokes disposed in a single plain parallel to the permanent magnet arrangement, two pole plates connected to the yokes and also extending perpendicular to the coil axis, and a flux plate overlapping and spaced from the yokes and having a flat segment with the magnet arrangement being disposed in the volume defined between the overlapping area of the flux plate and the yokes, the magnet arrangement extending substantially longitudinally parallel to the coil axis. The structural arrangement of the flux plate and yokes so as to define a volume which can accommodate the magnet system permits the magnet system to be encompassed within the relay without adding to the overall length thereof, thereby adapting the relay to miniaturization. Additionally, the surfaces of the yokes and permanent magnet can exhibit a relatively large area, again without causing any increase in the length of the relay.

Patent DE-3280422-D1 (DE)
Inventor: DE BOER HERMAN ALBERT
IPC: C12P21/02
Filed: 1982-09-16
Granted: 1993-02-04
Abstract: Microbial expression of an exogenous polypeptide may be inefficient if the messenger RNA has secondary structure (due to complementarity of spaced regions of the molecule) which impedes interaction with a ribosome. The occurrence of such structure can be predicted. The degeneracy of the genetic code gives freedom to alter the nucleic acid composition of the cDNA to eliminate harmful secondary structure of the mRNA. For example, bovine growth hormone (BGH) is poorly expressed by E. coli transformed with a recombinant plasmid containing the natural BGH gene. The corresponding mRNA has complementary regions at 46-51 and 73-78. Therefore a plasmid pBGH 33-4 was constructed containing a BGH gene whose upstream portion was synthesized (making use of plasmid pHGH 207-1 which contains an efficiently expressible gene for the closely related human growth hormone) so as not to cause the troublesome complementarity. E. coli transformed therewith produced BGH with a yield of better than 10<5> copies per cell.
