IPC: E21B43/12
Filed: 2010-07-28
Abstract: A method and system operates a well having an outer casing, a tubing positioned inside the outer casing, and a plunger moveable within the tubing to periodically draw out a liquid slug. A chemical to slug size ratio is set by the operator. Thereafter, the gas flow rate is monitored and the well is shut-in when the gas flow rate drops below a predetermined threshold. After well shut-in, a calculated amount of chemical foaming agent is injected. The size of the liquid slug is calculated and then the well is opened, drawing the plunger and liquid slug up to the surface. The calculated amount of chemical foaming agent is calculated based on one or more previous liquid slug size determinations and the set chemical to slug size ratio.

IPC: H04L12/16
Filed: 2010-09-23
Abstract: The Receipt Card (RC) is an ISO standard access card that will be linked to a remote server/database allowing for an eco-friendly substitution to current paper receipts. The inconvenience of filing, maintaining, organizing and locating paper receipts for return, warranty verifications, budget planning and tax filing will be solved with the already established functional system of an ISO standard access card. The remote server/database will act as a central location for all authorized customers as storage for electronically generated receipts. Current technologies that are used by vendors will be maintained in order to stimulate a convenient transition, for both consumers and vendors, from paper to paperless receipts; in the form of RC's.  This system, that will facilitate the comprehensive use of RC's, will not take away from the advertising and promotional benefits of receipts but will act to enhance it, while minimizing the start-up costs of vendors, adding a new face to the green revolution and providing customers with a new, reliable way to track their purchase transactions.

Abstract: A hybrid scientific computer system with processor capable of recording, storing and reprogramming the natural electrical signals of cancer cells as found in tumors of humans and animals.  The reprogramming process is designed to create a confounding electrical signal for retransmission into a malignant tumor to damage or shut-down the cellular internal electrical communication system. Altering the electrical charge on the glycocalyx of the outer cell membrane is also part of the treatment by application of ions. Confounding electrical signals are stored in a scientific cancer cell signal processor of the computer system.  The invention causes cancer cell death as a medical treatment using ultra-low voltage and amperage encoded signals which are re-programmed from cancer cell communication signals.

Abstract: Methods and systems for decoding motion compensated video. In the decoding process a virtual predicted block is defined within memory to hold the pixel values of a reference block used in motion compensation with respect to a macroblock being reconstructed. If the reference block includes out-of-boundary pixels from the reference frame, the corresponding pixels within the virtual predicted block are padded using the boundary values of the reference frame. This avoids the need to pad the entire reference frame.

Abstract: An integrally molded display floor for a gravity feed display tray where the floor devoid of integrally molded side walls extending upward therefrom, has front and rear end walls, and a plurality of longitudinal ribs which can receive upward extending partitions which are releasably attachable to the floor and extend longitudinally, thus dividing the display tray into laterally spaced paths. Each display tray has opposite side walls extending downward, and transversely extending beams intersecting the longitudinal ribs. The end walls, side walls, and bottom surfaces of the longitudinal ribs thus establishing a basement where the bottom surfaces of the ribs constitute the ceiling of the basement. This basement is a space suitable for receiving downward extending tabs of the partitions to engage and stabilize such partitions with the display track. The basement also provides suitable space for lateral extending coupling means from one display track to the next for coupling adjacent display tracks to provide a wider transverse area thereof. Furthermore, the basement allows space for further coupling members extending from the rear end of any display track element to the front end of the next for coupling thereto. The invention herein further provides a display track which is with a series of breakaway portions to vary or reduce the length and structural means for attaching broken-away portions to vary or extend the length.
