Title: Multi-hop data path through each of separate layer-three data links between a relay station, base station and ASN-GW
Inventor: VENKATACHALAM MUTHAIAH
IPC: H04W80/04
Filed: 2010-10-26
Abstract: In a wireless network 500, a separate layer-three data link 512, 516 is formed between each of a relay station 506, a base station 504 and an access service network gateway (ASN-GW) 502. Each separate layer-three data link 512, 516 is mapped from the ASN-GW 502 to a next element in the wireless network to form a data path from the ASN-GW 502 to the relay station 506. Data packets can be sent between a mobile station 508 and the ASN-GW 502 through each layer-three data link 512, 516 using a tunneling protocol such that each layer-three data link 512, 516 forms a separate tunnel 510, 514. The tunneling protocol may be generic routing encapsulation (GRE) for a MiMax network or GPRS tunneling protocol (GTP) for a 3GPP network. Additionally, when the data path between mobile station 508 and ASN-GW 502 is changed due to handover, single hop tunnel sections that remain in the data path can be reused (see figure 7). Thus, data transmission in a multi-hop infrastructure may be improved.

Title: Inverting nuclear log data constrained by data relating to boundaries derived from a logging tool with a superior depth resolution
Inventor: WHETTON JAMES ANTHONY
IPC: G01V3/18
Filed: 2012-03-23
Abstract: Inverting nuclear log data comprises acquiring nuclear log data and further log data in at least part of the depth of a borehole. The further log data (e.g. microresistivity image) has a depth resolution which is superior to that of the nuclear logging tool (e.g. density, gamma or neutron porosity tool). Boundaries between adjacent zones of the part of the depth of the borehole are identified from the further log data. Pre-acquired data describing characteristics of the nuclear logging tool are used to generate a modelled log of an attribute over the said part of the depth. The zone response of each zone is calculated from the pre-acquired data, using the boundaries to define an initial measure of the depth of each zone. A value of the said attribute is ascribed in dependence on the said depth of each zone. The attribute of each zone is the calculated by deconvolving the log data using the zone response so as to minimize the difference between the log data and the convolution of zone response and zone attribute. The characteristics of the logging tool may include its vertical response function, and the pre-acquired data may be Monte-Carlo Particle Transport Code data.

Title: Synthesis of diester-based lubricants from enzymatically-derived epoxides
Inventor: MILLER STEPHEN
IPC: C10M105/32
Filed: 2012-07-02
Abstract: The present invention is generally directed to methods of making diester-based lubricant compositions, wherein formation of diester species proceeds via ring-opening of the epoxide ring to form a diol, and then esterification of epoxide intermediates, and wherein the epoxide intermediates are generated via an enzymatically-driven mechanism. The methods for making such diester-based lubricants utilize a biomass precursor and/or low value (e.g., Fischer-Tropsch (FT) olefins and/or alcohols) so as to produce high value diester-based lubricants. In some embodiments, such diester-based lubricants are derived from FT olefins and fatty acids. The fatty acids can be from a bio-based source (i.e., biomass, renewable source) or can be derived from FT alcohols via oxidation.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for managing the operation of a metering unit of a turbo machine fuel injection system, characterised in that a signal channel of the metering unit is selected according to the reliability of a fuel flow meter. The selection is determined by reliability conditions of the flow meter providing information as to whether or not there is confidence in the flow meter, and in that, when there is a lack of confidence in the flow meter, the method initiates a second step 2. The second step comprises; selecting the channel selected the last time there was confidence in the flow meter 4, or if the last selected channel is not defined then initiating a third step 5. The third step comprises; selecting the channel the position of which gives the highest theoretical flow rate value within the flow meters bounds 6, or selecting the channel the position of which gives the highest theoretical flow rate value if neither channel gives a theoretical flow rate within the flow meters bounds 7.
