Abstract: A dispenser for selectively dispensing first and second rolls of sheet material respectively wrapped around first and second cores is provided. The dispenser includes a housing defining a storage compartment for the first and second rolls and an opening, a first and second core support structures disposed in the housing for respectively supporting differently sized first and second cores and a divider slidably carried by the housing and covering a portion of the opening. The divider is movable between a first dispensing position, wherein a first portion of the opening is uncovered to allow access to the first roll and a second portion of the opening is covered to prevent access to the second roll, and a second position, wherein the first portion of the opening is covered and the second portion the opening is uncovered to allow access to the second roll.  The divider includes an adjustable blocking plate for preventing movement of the divider from the first dispensing position to the second dispensing portion until substantially all the sheet material has been exhausted from the first roll.  The plate is positionable on the divider in a plurality of positions relative to the first core support structure to compensate for different diameter cores.

Title: Molten metal inclusion sensor probes
Inventor: LI MEI
IPC: G01N33/20
Filed: 2001-03-26
Granted: 2006-12-05
Abstract: The invention provides molten metal inclusion sensor probes having a sensing passage through which the molten metal passes, while a direct curren t path is established through the passage between two electrodes. The passage of an inclusion through a central sensing zone within the passage changes the electric resistance in the current path, resulting in a detectable pulse indicating its size, and enabling the number of particles in a sample to be counted. Previously the passage has been cylindrical, with or without a conical entrance to facilitate smooth flow, or of randomly smoothed profile produced by heating the materia l at the passage mouth until it melts and flows. The flowing metal produces a sel f- induced magnetic field and electromagnetic force that results in a "conditioning" flow when the current is above a threshold value. High levels of background noise making pulse detection difficult, and it is proposed to improve operation by machining the passage to decrease smoothly in flow cross section from its entrance to the sensing zone, preferably with a parabolic or elliptical profile. Preferably the exit has the same profile. Further improvement can be obtaine d by machining the wall surface to a smoothness of better than 1.016 micrometers (40 microinches). Such precise, smooth-walledpassages facilitate the design of systems as to the optimum testing and conditioning currents required.</SDOAB >

Title: A method and apparatus for the optimal predistortion of an electromagnetic signal in a downhole communication system
Inventor: HAASE MARK CHRISTOPHER
IPC: E21B47/12
Filed: 2001-02-09
Granted: 2009-06-02
Abstract: A method and apparatus for communicating a desired target signal along a piping structure is provided. Because of the lossy communication path presented by the piping structure, an input signal, which is transmitted from a first location on the piping structure, is consciously predistorted prior to transmission. The amount and nature of the predistortion applied to the input signal is determined by mathematically modeling the communication path between the first location and a second location. Predistortion of the input signal results in reception of an output signal at the second location that closely approximates the desired target signal. Application of this predistortion method of communicating is described in the context of communicating in the borehole of a petroleum well.
