Title: System and method for workflow process management
Inventor: ZRUBEK MICHAEL
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2003-09-03
Abstract: Many business processes involve manually controlling and monitoring informational artifacts, such as documents or insurance claims, through a workflow process. The present invention provides a dynamic and flexible method for controlling workflow processes by arranging complex tasks into predefined sequences having decision points (118, 130) that control the process to completion. The method comprises defining procedural components of a process flow model, defining control links (116, 120, 128, 132, 136) for connecting the procedural components, defining data components of a process data model, defining data links (112) for connecting the procedural components and the data components, and invoking the procedural components for producing a workflow process result. The procedural components comprise nodes in the workflow process, which may be automated, interactive or manual procedures.  The nodes are connected and executed in a defined sequence determined by control links. The data components comprise data sets connected to procedural components by the data links.

Abstract: A flexible mixing pouch with aseptic burstable internal chambers for storing a plurality of substances in isolated, hermetically sealed aseptic chambers therein in order to maintain the freshness and integrity of each pre-measured substance until ready for combining into a desired solution. The interior pocket of the outer pouch contains one or more internal storage chambers adjacent a mixing chamber. Impermeable sheets bonded to the outer pouch define the sealed storage chambers and include a frangible portion thereon forming burst ports. The user squeezes the desired storage chamber and the pressure applied thereto creates a disparity between the internal pressure against the impermeable sheet and the external pressure in said mixing chamber and compromises the integrity of the associated burst port causing it to rupture and discharge the contained substance into the mixing chamber where it is combined with the contained substance to create the desired solution having a precise, predefined ratio of the first substance to the second substance.

Title: Alerting a smart card reader of probable wireless communication
Inventor: ADAMS NEIL
IPC: G06K7/00
Filed: 2006-07-28
Abstract: A wireless device may alert a wireless smart card reader that communication of data between the wireless device and the wireless smart card reader is probably imminent by sending an activation alert. Upon receipt of the activation alert, if the wireless smart card reader is in a low-power state, the wireless smart card reader may enter a higher-power state.

Title: Direct measurement of brillouin frequency in distributed optical sensing systems
Inventor: WATLEY DANIEL ANDREW
IPC: E21B47/10
Filed: 2005-03-22
Abstract: An optical sensing system uses light scattered from a sensing fibre to sense conditions along the fibre, and has a receiver with a frequency to amplitude converter to obtain a frequency of a Brillouin component of the received scattered light, to deduce the conditions. This converter can avoid time consuming scanning of frequencies to obtain the Brillouin frequency spectrum, and avoids the heavy processing load of deducing a peak or average frequency from the spectrum. The converter can be implemented in the optical domain using a grating or interferometer, or in the electrical domain using a diplexer or electrical interferometer. It can generate complementary signals, having opposite signs, a ratio of these signals representing the frequency.  This can avoid sensitivity to amplitude changes in the received scattered signals and provide common mode rejection of noise.

Inventor: HOLTZMAN RONEN
IPC: G01S7/40
Filed: 2007-01-11
Abstract: A method is provided for insuring phase-coherency of a sinusoidal signal when changes occur in the signal's frequency. The method may include generation of a phase word that may be used for accessing entries in a relatively small Sin(x) and Cos(x) Look-Up-Tables (LUTs), which may represent values of a sinusoidal signal. The Cos(x) LUT may be used for generating a phase-related error data that may be added to a corresponding entry of the Sin(x) LUT to derive a value that is translated by a digital-to-analog into a corresponding analog value of the generated sinusoidal signal. The phase word may be obtained by multiplying a time word with a frequency word. The frequency word may control the signal's frequency and the phase word may maintain phase coherency. A  signal generator is also provided, which utilizes the method.

Abstract: Unsafe electric energies can exist in aircraft fuel tanks as a result of static build-up or induced currents from lightning strikes. The invention provides an aircraft having a ground circuit (19) and including a fuel tank (1) having a fuel probe circuit having its own ground circuit (18). Multiple discharge paths (18-26-19) allow the safe discharge of electricity from the tank (1) before it reaches levels where an arc, spark or other electric discharge, able to ignite fuel in the tank, could occur. The discharge paths all pass via a conductive foam (26) having a relatively high impedance that allow static bleed, but does not significantly increase the risk of currents induced by lightning reaching levels at which an ignition-causing electrical discharge might occur. The foam (26) is securely bonded to both the aircraft ground circuit (19) and the fuel probe ground (18), the bonds having a large area of surface-to-surface contact.

Abstract: A method for producing a multilayer two-tone finish on a substrate, such as automobile and truck bodies or parts thereof, by applying an improved clearcoat composition as the exterior most coating on top of the accent color and main body color basecoats. The clearcoat composition has improved compatibility over both waterborne and solventborne basecoats. The composition includes a film-forming binder comprising a carbamate material, a curing agent, typically a monomeric melamine curing agent, and a hydroxy functional silane component. When used as a clearcoat over a standard pigmented basecoat, the resulting coating provides a substantially durable and wrinkle free appearance and excellent adhesion to waterborne and solventborne basecoats, baked or unbaked.

Inventor: KRUEGER VOLKER
IPC: E21B7/12
Filed: 2005-09-09
Abstract: An active differential pressure device (APD device) in fluid communication with a returning fluid creates a differential pressure across the device, which controls pressure below the APD Device. In embodiments, a control unit controls the APD Device to provide a selected pressure differential at a wellbore bottom, adjacent a casing shoe, in an intermediate wellbore location, or in a casing. In one arrangement, the control system is pre-set at the surface such that the APD Device provides a substantially constant pressure differential. In other arrangements, the control system adjusts an operating parameter of the APD Device to provide a desired pressure differential in response to one or more measured parameters. Devices such as an adjustable bypass can be used to control the APD Device. In other embodiments, one or more flow control devices coupled to the return fluid reduce the effective pressure differential provided by the APD Device.

Filed: 2005-09-30
Abstract: The present invention relates to calibration of a particle characterisation apparatus in which particles suspended in a liquid are passed through an orifice one by one for characterisation of the particles, for instance by Coulter counting. The calibration does not require utilisation of special calibration particles or liquids. A priori knowledge of the shape of a typical size distribution of a blood sample is utilised to adjust the apparatus based on an initial relatively short counting period of the sample in question. The initially determined size distribution is compared to the corresponding known typical size distribution and the apparatus is subsequently adjusted to counteract possible differences. Upon adjustment of the apparatus, the remaining part of the sample is passed through the orifice for determination of the actual particle size distribution of the remaining sample.
