Title: Methods for controlling one or more parameters of a flow cytometer type measurement system
Inventor: ROTH WAYNE D
IPC: G01N15/14
Filed: 2004-08-13
Abstract: Various methods for controlling one or more parameters of a flow cytometer type measurement system are provided. One embodiment includes monitoring parameter(s) of the measurement system during measurements of sample microspheres. The method also includes altering the parameter(s) in real time based on the monitoring. Another method includes monitoring a temperature proximate to the measurement system. One such method includes altering a bias voltage of an avalanche photo diode in response to the temperature using empirically derived data. A different such method includes altering output signals of a photomultiplier tube in response to the temperature using a characteristic curve. Some methods include monitoring a temperature of a fluid, in which sample microspheres are disposed, that will flow through the flow cytometer type measurement system. This method also includes determining a velocity of the sample microspheres in the measurement system from a viscosity of the fluid at the temperature.

Title: Retrieval method for opposed slip type packers
Inventor: KILGORE MARION DEWEY
IPC: E21B33/129
Filed: 2010-11-11
Abstract: A method is provided which releases and retrieves an opposed slip downhole tool (10) by reducing the compressive forces on the sealing elements (42) prior to unsetting the slip assemblies (20, 60). Further, the method does so without damaging the slip assemblies. The method provides for the retrieval of the entire downhole tool including all of its component parts, requiring but a single trip within the wellbore. When the tool is to be retrieved, the sealing element is disengaged from the casing by relaxing the compression forces on the sealing element. Then the slip assemblies are disengaged from the casing such that the slip assemblies are no longer in gripping engagement with the casing. The tool is then retrieved from the wellbore. The step of disengaging the sealing assembly can be performed by radially contracting the sealing element with or without longitudinally expanding the sealing element.

Abstract: Techniques for signaling extended sizes for Medium Access Control (MAC) Protocol Data Unit (MPDU), Aggregated MPDU (A-MPDU) and Aggregated MAC Service Data Unit (A-MSDU) frame formats. A first technique proposes modifications to the current specifications of the IEEE 802.11? standard in order to allow for longer MPDUs in an A-MPDU. This technique reuses the IEEE 802.11? signaling format and utilizes reserved bits to convey the new information, i.e. an indication that the maximum length of a MAC RDU, MPDU frame, of an A-MRDU, or ofan A-MSDU is respectively greater than 4095 bytes. 64 kilobytes and 7935 bytes. The second technique proposes a new signaling mechanism to convey the extended sizes for the MPDU, A-MPDU and the A-MSDU through a very high throughput (VHT) capability element.
