Abstract: The present invention relates to a downhole tool (102) for selectively opening and closing a lateral borehole extending from a primary borehole. The tool (102) comprises a body (104) incorporating a wall provided with an opening (116) extending therethrough; a deflector member (106) slidably mounted in the body (104) and having a deflecting surface (126) for deflecting, in use, downhole equipment laterally within the body (104). The deflector member (106) is slidable between an open position, in which the deflecting surface is located adjacent and facing towards said opening so that, in use, downhole equipment laterally deflected by the deflecting surface is directed through said opening, and a closed position, in which the deflecting surface is oriented relative to said opening so as to prevent downhole equipment from being laterally deflected through said opening during use. In either position, equipment may pass into the primary borehole downhole of the primary/lateral junction. The tool (102) also comprises constraining means (138, 140) for restricting movement of the whipstock relative to the body.

Abstract: A pressure vessel comprising a fiber reinforced resin layer (4), which is made of a
reinforced fiber (3) impregnated in resin, on a surface of a vessel body (2), wherein the
pressure vessel is produced by forming the fiber reinforced resin layer (4) on the surface
of the vessel body, applying an internal pressure and plastically deforming (subjecting to
an auto-frettage) the vessel body (2) such that a distortion of the surface of the vessel
body in a circumferential direction of the vessel body be in a range of 0.7% to 0.9%, in
order to apply a pre-stress to the vessel body (2) and the fiber reinforced resin layer (4),
and wherein the pressure vessel has a burst pressure, which is 2.2 to 2.8 times as large as
a charging pressure. Since the pressure vessel (1) has excellent fatigue property and
burst property, and a reduced weight, this is preferably used as a storage vessel for high
pressure gas.

Abstract: A communication system comprises a downlink indicator channel for the transmission of an indicator signal indicating that a data packet is scheduled to be transmitted on a downlink data channel from a primary station to a secondary station. In operation, on detection of the indicator signal, the secondary station transmits a status signal, for example a negative acknowledgement signal, on an uplink channel to the primary station immediately before transmission of a positive or negative acknowledgement signal to indicate the status of the received data packet. By providing the primary station with two chances to detect the case where the secondary station fails to detect the indicator signal, peak power requirements of the uplink channel can be reduced, thereby reducing system interference levels.

Abstract: Apparatus 20 for a vehicle having a steered member such as a marine vehicle having a
helm comprising a rudder 149, the apparatus 20 including a mechanically rotatable
steering device 27 and a sensor 142 which senses angular movement of the steering
device 27 when the craft is steered. A communication link to the rudder 149 enables the
helm to monitor the rudder position. A bi-directional stop mechanism 90 is actuated
when the helm determines that the rudder position is beyond starboard or port hard-over
thresholds, indicating that the rudder 149 has reached a limit of travel. The helm can
cause the stop mechanism 90 to fully engage the steering device 27 to stop further
rotation of the steering device 27 in a first rotational direction, corresponding to rotational
movement towards said limit of travel. Rotational play is provided between the sensor
142 and the stop mechanism 90, whereby the steering device 27 can be rotated a limited
amount, relative to the sensor 142, when the stop mechanism 90 is fully engaged. The
stop mechanism 90 is released from engagement with the steering device 27 when the
sensor 142 senses that the steering device 27 is rotated, as permitted by said play, in a
second rotational direction which is opposite the first rotational direction. Additionally,
the same stop mechanism 90, or an optional steering effort mechanism, can be used to
provide a dynamic steering effort, whereby the torque required to rotate the steering shaft
26,26.1 is varied based on system inputs and configurations. The required torque is
changed by fluctuations of the amount of friction between the steering effort mechanism
and steering shaft 26,26.1, based on system inputs and configurations.
