Title: Recycling of oil-based drilling muds
Inventor: LEVEY SIMON JOHN MICHAEL
IPC: E21B21/06
Filed: 2007-11-27
Abstract: A method of recovering hydrocarbon or synthetic base oils from used oil-based drilling mud utilizes acid to deactivate emulsifiers in the drilling mud for altering the emulsion stability and permitting removal of the solids contained in the drilling mud using conventional separation such as centrifugation. A surfactant is typically added to prevent water-wetting as a result of the addition of the acid. The recovered base oil contains substantially all of the deactivated emulsifiers, which can be reactivated through the addition of lime, allowing new drilling fluids to be prepared without the need to add significant amounts of emulsifier to the recycled base oil.

Patent CA-2623930-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GUPTA RAJARSHI
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2006-10-26
Abstract: Systems and methods are described that facilitate performing interference management techniques between sending and receiving nodes in order to provide minimum transmission rate guarantees. Carrier-to-interference ratio (C/I) may be controlled by employing specialized resource utilization messages (RUMs), the number and rate of which may be governed by a "token bucket" mechanism.  For instance, a maximum token bucket size may be defined for a node, which describes the maximum amount of data that may pass through the node at a given time. A current number of tokens in the node's bucket may be evaluated and compared to a threshold value, and RUMs may be transmitted by the node as long as the current token number is greater than the predefined threshold value.  Tokens may additionally be deducted from the node's bucket for successful data transmissions, thus providing a dynamic interference control mechanism.
