Title: Method for conducting moving or rolling check shot for correcting borehole azimuth surveys
Inventor: RODNEY PAUL F
IPC: E21B47/022
Filed: 1997-01-10
Granted: 2006-03-07
Abstract: A method is disclosed for correcting the distorting effect of cross-axial magnetic interference on the readings of a well survey tool using a reduced number of measurements and measuring locations. A well survey tool connected to a drill string assembly measures the gravitional and distorted terrestrial magnetic fields at two or more axially displaced locations in an axially extending well bore. The measurements are made from two or more different orientations (tool faces) of the tool about the well axis. Initial values for the tool inclination, azimuth and tool face angle are first determined without correction for the cross-axial magnetic interference introduced by the drill string assembly and the survey tool. Measurements made at each location and tool face are referred to the tool's coordinate system and variations introduced by the different tool face angles are used to estimate the cross-axial interference.

Patent CA-2243921-C (CA)
Inventor: HUBER HANS
IPC: B65B13/22
Filed: 1998-07-27
Granted: 2001-12-25
Abstract: Disclosed is a band moving device of a strapping machine for applying a band around a package, which band moving device is provided with an envelope drive having only one enveloping component, which is guided, by way of an inner surface, over at least two wheels.  At least one of the two wheels is designed as a drive wheel that can be brought into operative connection with a drive motor to drive the enveloping component.  The band may be pressed onto an outer surface of the enveloping component by means of a pressure pulley in order to produce, between the band and the enveloping component, a frictional force by means of which the band can be moved in one direction.   The pressure pulley is arranged in a region in which the enveloping component wraps around one of the two wheels, thus making it possible for the enveloping component to be pressed against one of the two wheels by the pressure pulley.  There is means for reversing the direction of rotation of the enveloping component, so that the band can be moved both in a feeding direction and in a tensioning direction.  A further wheel is located opposite the outer surface of the enveloping component, and is designed as a tensioning wheel and, during a tensioning phase, presses the band onto the enveloping component in order to apply a band tension.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for allocating master priority to a unique one of a plurality of interconnected processors. A data storage register is provided for each processor. The registers and processors are interconnected to enable any processor to store data in all of the registers, and to enable each processor to read data stored in that processor's register. A unique multiple bit identifier is allocated to each processor. The processors are synchronized with one another, and master priority is arbitratively allocated to the processor having the lowest value identifier. The arbitration involves repetitively, for each processor which, has not previously been dismissed as a "master" candidate: ~ storing a predefined dismissal value in the processor's register; ~ selecting a next portion of the processor's identifier; ~ if the selected portion of the identifier has a value corresponding to a predefined non-dismissal value, actuating the processor to store the non-dismissal value in all of the registers; and, ~ if the selected portion of the identifier has a value corresponding to the dismissal value and if the non-dismissal value is stored in the processor's register, dismissing the processor as a "master" candidate; until all but one of the processors are dismissed as a "master" candidate.
