Title: Method for analyzing formation data from a formation evaluation measurement-while-drilling logging, tool
Inventor: MINETTE DANIEL CARL
IPC: E21B47/08
Filed: 1991-12-20
Abstract: A method for analyzing data from a measurement-while- drilling (MWD) formation evaluation logging tool 10 which compensates for rotation of the logging tool (along with the rest of the drillstring) during measurement periods. In accordance with this method, the density measurement is combined with the measurement from a borehole caliper, preferably an acoustic caliper. The acoustic caliper can continuously measure the standoff as the tool is rotating in the borehole. If the caliper is aligned with gamma-ray source 12 and detectors 14, 16, it can determine the standoff in front of the detectors at any given time. This information can be used to separate the density data into a number of bins based on the amount of standoff. After a pre-set time interval, the density measurement can then be made. The first step in this process is for short space and long space densities to be calculated from the data in each bin. Then, these density measurements can be combined in a manner that minimizes the total error in the density calculation. <IMAGE>

Title: High mass low resonance speaker system
Inventor: KLAYMAN ARNOLD I
IPC: H04R1/28
Filed: 1992-05-19
Abstract: A relatively small size speaker system is caused to have a lower resonant frequency by providing a partitioned enclosure 10 having an air mass in a first of two chambers 20 that is driven to vibrate as a unit by a pair of speakers 24, 30 on different or opposite sides of the chamber. Air within the other one of the chambers is driven by only one of the speakers, and thus operates primarily as a spring, whereas the air in the first chamber is driven by both speakers and acts primarily as a mass. The two speakers are operated in mechanical phase so as to vibrate the air in the first chamber as a unitary mass by imparting mutually aiding forces to the air mass. This adds a significant amount of mass to the vibratory system and consequently lowers resonant frequency. Further embodiments related to Fig 3 are described (Figs 2, 4) wherein either chamber may be ported. <IMAGE>

Title: Method for detecting leaks in a motor vehicle tank ventilation system.
Inventor: DURSCHMIDT FERRY
IPC: F02M25/08
Filed: 1993-08-04
Abstract: A method for detecting leaks in a motor vehicle tank ventilation system consisting of a fuel tank 2 which is connected to an adsorption filter 4 via a ventilation conduit 3. The adsorption filter 4 is in turn connected via a disposal conduit 6 to a controllable regeneration valve 9 on the induction pipe 7 of an internal combustion engine. In addition, a ventilation conduits with a shut-off valve 8 is provided on the adsorption filter. When the tank ventilation system is being checked, shut-off valve 8 is closed first, a specified vacuum is generated by partially opening the regeneration valve 9, and the regeneration valve is finally likewise completely closed. In order to achieve conclusive results, the air/fuel mixture must be in a stable equilibrium condition at this time. For this purpose, the vacuum is either applied sufficiently slowly or, after reaching the required value, the pressure level is subsequently controlled to this value for a certain interval. A leak in the tank ventilation system is then recognised if the pressure level changes by a specified value within a specified interval. A differential pressure sensor 10 is provided in conduit 3, the sensor being connected to a controller 11 for valves 8, 9. <IMAGE>

Title: A hierarchical synchronization method and a telecommunications system employing message-based synchronization
Inventor: KAINULAINEN JUKKA
IPC: H04J3/06
Filed: 1993-11-08
Abstract: The invention relates to a hierarchical synchronization method for a telecommunications system employing message-based synchronization and comprising a plurality of nodes interconnected by transmission lines (A, B). In the method, the nodes interchange signals containing synchronization messages with information on the priority of the respective signal in the internal synchronization hierarchy of the system, and the node enters into a predetermined standard state for a preset time period in a change situation, such as a failure situation, in order to prevent the selection of faulty synchronization messages. In order to speed up the synchronization of the system in failure situations and to avoid any resettings in connection with system changes, the minimum duration of said time period is equal to a time (K) required for the neighbouring nodes of the node to be informed of the transition of the node into said standard state and to respond to the change and for the node itself to be informed by the neighbouring nodes about their response. <IMAGE>

Title: Radio transmission output control circuit for TDMA communication
Inventor: YUTAKA SASAKI
IPC: H03G3/20
Filed: 1995-08-04
Abstract: In a radio transmission output control circuit, a modulating circuit 2 modulates signals 1 to be sequentially transmitted 6 in consecutive time slots at predetermined timings. When one time slot is being transmitted an output level detector 12 monitors its output level and a write-in controller 9 generates control data to control the output level of a signal in a subsequent time slot, based on the deviation of the output level of the time slot. A data generating circuit outputs the data for the subsequent signal at a transmission timing assigned to the subsequent time slot. A level control circuit 4 controls the output level of the subsequent time slot on the basis of the control data and the deviation. <IMAGE>
