Title: Method and system for circulating fluid in a well system
Inventor: ZUPANICK JOSEPH A
IPC: E21B47/09
Filed: 2003-12-02
Granted: 2009-02-18
Abstract: A method for circulating drilling fluid in a well system includes drilling a substantially vertical well bore from a surface to a subterranean zone and drilling an articulated well bore from the surface to the subterranean zone. The articulated well bore is horizontally offset from the substantially vertical well bore at the surface and intersects the substantially vertical well bore at a junction proximate the subterranean zone. The method includes drilling a drainage bore from the junction into the subterranean zone and pumping a drilling fluid through the drill string when drilling the drainage bore. The method also includes providing fluid down the substantially vertical well bore through a tubing. A fluid mixture returns up the substantially vertical well bore outside of the tubing. The fluid mixture comprises the drilling fluid after the drilling fluid exits the drill string.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a proteorhodopsin mutant having improved optical characteristics. One improved optical characteristic is having a lower pH (pKrh) at which equal concentrations of the acidic and basic spectral form of the proteorhodopsin molecules are present. Another improved optical characteristic is having a smaller difference in maximum absorption wavelength between the basic and the acidic form. The mutant comprises a mutation in a conserved amino acid residue of a proteorhodopsin variant, which causes spectral shifts. A preferred mutation site is a conserved histidine residue at amino acid position 75 of Bac31A8, or position 77 of Hot75m1, or its equivalent position of a proteorhodopsin variant. Another preferred mutation site is a conserved arginine residue at amino acid position 94 of Bac31A8, or position 96 of Hot75m1, or its equivalent position of a proteorhodopsin variant.

Abstract: A method includes transmitting at least two space-time coded signals in respective beams of a multi-beam antenna array, measuring a channel impulse response for each space-time coded signal at a second station, and sending an indicia of a selected set of least attenuated signals from the second station to the first station. The multi-beam antenna array is associated with a first station. The beams transmit a signature code embedded in each respective space-time coded signal, and the signature codes are orthogonal so that the second station can separate and measure the channel impulse response corresponding to each space-time coded signal. The space-time coded signals include the selected set of least attenuated signals and a remaining set of most attenuated signals. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A CPAP apparatus in which the interface pressure is controlled to rapidly drop at the start of expiration by an expiratory relief pressure (ERP) that is independent of instantaneous respiratory flow, following which the pressure rises to an inspiratory level at or shortly before the end of expiration, or at the onset of an expiratory pause, if any. The ERP is an increasing function of the inspiratory pressure. The expiratory pressure follows a template that is a function of the expected expiration time, the magnitude of the template being equal to the ERP. The current estimated proportion of expiration is determined by comparing the expiration time of the breath in progress to low-pass filtered expiratory durations measured for a number of the preceding breaths.

Abstract: Loudspeakers can be damaged by high drive signals. One reason for this damage is an excess vibration displacement of the coil-diaphragm assembly. This invention describes a novel method for limiting this displacement by a signal processor. In the present invention, a low frequency shelving and notch filter is used to attenuate low frequencies according to a prediction of the loudspeaker displacement. A novel method for calculating coefficient values for a digital implementation of the low frequency shelving and notch filter according to the predicted displacement is described.
