Patent EP-0699822-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MCCLURE PAUL ANTHONY
IPC: E21B47/12
Filed: 1995-09-04
Abstract: A well data telemetry system for transmitting data along at least a part of a well bore 2 containing tubing of magnetically permeable material comprises a transmitting coil 9 located to transmit a magnetic flux signal along the tubing and/or the surrounding geological formations, modulation circuitry connected to the coil 9 for modulating the magnetic flux signal in response to a data signal, and an a.c. magnetometer 10 located to detect and respond to the magnetic flux signal at a position spaced from the transmitting coil 3. By using an a.c. magnetometer instead of a conventional receiver coil to detect and respond to the magnetic flux signal, the system is capable of responding to the low levels of signal which are likely to be received in practice. Furthermore, the response of the a.c. magnetometer is independent of frequency so that the system may be used at low frequencies as well as high frequencies and demodulation of the transmitted signal can be effected without difficulty.

Abstract: A printer that requires no print buffer in a 
printer engine, and can efficiently use an image memory 
for bitmapping print data into a print image.  
     An enable signal (a-ENB) for designating transfer 
of data for one page from a formatter to the engine is 
output in response to a request signal (Ha-TRG), output 
from the engine, for requesting transmission of print 
image data for one line. When a clock signal (DATACK) 
for requesting transfer of print data is output from the 
engine to the formatter in response to this enable 
signal, print image data is transferred from the 
formatter to the engine in synchronism with the clock 
signal. The transferred print image data is further 
transferred to a printhead to print an image.  
     With respect to the nozzles, on the right and left 
ends of the printhead, which are not used for a print 
operation, a right margin area and a nozzle area used 
for a print operation are set in a data transfer 
circuit. With this operation, "0" is first set to a 
print data signal in the data transfer circuit, and 
reference clocks used for transferring data to the 
printhead are second counted for the number 
corresponding to right margin area of the printhead. 
When the count operation is completed, a signal HALD* 
becomes active, and subsequently, print image data is  
 
transferred. When the number of reference clocks 
coincides with the number of nozzles (NWD) corresponding 
to the print area, "0" is set to print data again. This 
operation is repeatedly performed for each line.

Abstract: A printed circuit "plate" heater 10 comprises an insulated steel disc having conductive tracks (18 etc.) deposited thereon. Live 11 and neutral 12 terminals are formed in the centre. Towards the circumference of the heater, is an unheated conductive ring 15 connecting eight discrete thermal fuses 16 designed to blow at 180° (ie. serious overheat condition). Conductive track 17 links the fuses to seventy-two heater cells 22 connected in parallel and formed of 1000Ω/square resistivity material or tortuous tracks of 10Ω/square material having a high PTC of resistance. In the event of localised overheating of a heater cell, its resistance will increase, leading to a decrease in its heat output. Serious overheating will result in a flow of heat to one or more fuses 17 which will then below.

Abstract: A video recording platform prevents both analog and digital copying of copy protected material. The platform may input and output both analog and digital video signals. At said analog input, a detector detects conventional copy protection in the analog input video, and in response disables recording thereof. At the digital input, a first detector detects a copyright signature present in the input material and in response prevents recording. A specially adapted video recorder, playback device or set top decoder copy protects video source material which has a copyright signature. A copyright signature is provided in a predetermined location in said video signal to be protected. The video recorder, playback device, or set top decoder upon detection of the copyright signature on its input or at playback, modifies the output standard (NTSC) video signal with a conventional copy protection process and the digital output with a new copyright signature. The input digital signal may contain a scrambling of the digital video signal in addition to the copy protection signature. In addition, an authenticating signature may be added to the digital video signal and detected as part of the copy protection process. As part of the copy protection, a television receiver includes a copy protection and descrambling system.

Abstract: A series connection of a rectification diode and a voltage clipping circuit is connected to a resonance circuit. The voltage clipping circuit is a parallel connection of a resistor and a diode. A constant voltage circuit is connected to the voltage clipping circuit. Since no current flows through the voltage clipping circuit during residual resonance, a signal having a ripple component on top of a stabilized DC voltage appears at the input terminal of the voltage clipping circuit. By shaping the signal having the ripple component, a rectangular-wave signal and a clock signal are extracted, based on which signals a demodulation circuit restores transmitted data.

Abstract: A multi-detector head nuclear camera system automatically switchable (and optimized) to perform either SPECT imaging or PET imaging. The camera system employs, in one embodiment, multi-detector configuration having dual head scintillation detectors but can be implemented with more than two detector heads. The detectors contain switchable triggering circuitry so that coincidence detection for PET imaging and non-coincidence detection for SPECT imaging is available. Using a variable integration technique with programmable integration interval, the event detection and acquisition circuitry of the camera system is switchable to detect events of different energy distribution and count rate which are optimized for PET and SPECT imaging. The system also includes dual integrators on each scintillation detector channel for collecting more than one event per detector at a time for PET or SPECT mode. In PET or SPECT mode, the system also employs variable PMT cluster sizing having smaller cluster sizes for PET imaging and relatively larger cluster sizes for SPECT. In PET or SPECT mode, the system also employs variable centroid shape and zonal triggering. Utilizing the above programmable settings, the camera system can be automatically configured to operate in either SPECT or PET imaging modes.
