Title: Thermal management system
Inventor: Graham Andrew Holland
IPC: F28F13/00
Filed: 2018-07-20
Abstract: An improved thermal management system for a heat source, e.g. a high-powered electronic burst operated device with cooling time or internal combustion engines, is arranged to maintain the optimal operational temperature of a device to maximise reliability, operational lifespan and/or efficiency, and optimize thermal transfer when using fluid with temperature dependent thermal performance. The system comprises a fluid coolant, a pump 230, a heat source, 210, a heat exchanger 220 and a temperature control unit 250 adapted to heat the coolant fluid to a pre-determined temperature. The heat exchanger cools the coolant below its optimal temperature which is then rewarmed by the temperature control unit because it is easier and to heat to a given temperature than to cool to a given temperature. The coolant may be carrier liquid, e.g. water, water glycol or oil, with encapsulated phase change material (PCM) particles or PCM polynuclear ‘molecules’ which may have a range of phase change temperatures. The phase change material may be entrained in the coolant or may be captive behind mesh or in foam in e.g. the heat exchanger.

Title: Pressure testing for downhole fluid injection systems
Inventor: LOUIS FRANCIS LAFLEUR
IPC: E21B43/16
Filed: 2016-03-28
Abstract: A pressure test system for use in downhole fluid injection includes a shear plug assembly disposed along a flow path defined in a sump housing. The sump housing also includes a sump cavity positioned downstream of the shear plug assembly. A shear element of the shear plug assembly secures the shear plug assembly in a first position within the flow path, so that the shear plug assembly blocks fluid flow through the sump housing. Following a pressure test, fluid pressure on the shear plug assembly may be increased until the shear element of the shear plug assembly shears, after which, the pressurized fluid drives the shear plug assembly into the sump cavity, permitting flow to bypass the sump cavity through bypass channels. The bypass channels and other flow paths may be arranged to function as a pressure wave muffler in order to protect pressure sensitive components after shear out.

Title: Persistent flow identifiers enabling disparate applications
Inventor: BEN ALEXANDER WUEST
IPC: H04L47/2416
Filed: 2017-06-12
Abstract: A system and method for network tracking are provided. By using packet capture applications having a flow identifier and a time stamper, one or more raw packets from one or more packet flows intercepted from a network can be tagged with a unique identifier and timestamp that can later be used to aggregate packet flows that have been analyzed by one or more capture applications.

Title: Semiconductor device and method of manufacturing thereof
Inventor: MUNAF RAHIMO
IPC: H01L29/739
Filed: 2019-10-31
Abstract: The lateral channel length 96 between the edge of the gate electrode 11 opening and the the P base 9 N enhancement region 10 junction is less than 70% of the vertical distance 95 between the surface of the substrate and the depth of the P base region. A P-type base implant 70 is made and a short lateral MOS channel length is determined by the extent of the diffusion below the gate spacer 15 and the gate electrode 11, while the vertical depth of the P-well needed for voltage blocking remains unchanged. The width of the gate spacer can be controlled to high precision which in turn provides precise control of the channel characteristics by self alignment of implanted dopants with respect to the gate and the gate spacer structures. IGBTs, reverse conducting, combinations of lateral and trench gates, as well as lateral and vertically configured devices are disclosed. The device has reduced on state losses without affecting the voltage blocking capability of the device.

Title: Method of preventing damage to a pump
Inventor: ÅGE HOFSTAD
IPC: F04D27/00
Filed: 2020-10-09
Abstract: A method for preventing damage to a pump (20, fig.1) eg a subsea multiphase pump, due to unfavourable operating conditions such a choke or surge, comprises comparing (a) fluctuations in the differential pressure across the pump over a time period and/or (b) changes in the axial position of the pump rotor over a time period with (a) an expected pressure fluctuation value, and/or (b) the calculated dynamic axial position of the rotor with an expected dynamic axial position value. The method can distinguish between unfavourable operating conditions and pump wear. Surge may be corrected by increasing flow through the pump; choke may be corrected by increasing pressure at the outlet of the pump. Differential pressure may be measured by pressure transmitters (18, 22, fig.1) adjacent the inlet and outlet of the pump (20); the axial position of the pump rotor may be measured by an optical or eddy current proximity sensor, or by an accelerometer to measure pump vibration.
