Abstract: The present invention relates to apparatus and methods for remotely actuating a downhole tool. In one aspect, the present invention provides an apparatus for activating a downhole tool in a wellbore, the downhole tool having an actuated and unactuated positions. The apparatus includes an actuator for operating the downhole tool between the actuated and unactuated positions; a controller for activating the actuator; and a sensor for detecting a condition in the wellbore, wherein the detected condition is transmitted to the controller, thereby causing the actuator to operate the downhole tool.  In one embodiment, conditions in the wellbore are generated at the surface, which is later detected downhole. These conditions include changes in pressure, temperature, vibration, or flow rate. In another embodiment, a fiber optic signal may be transmitted downhole to the sensor. In another embodiment still, a radio frequency tag is dropped into the wellbore for detection by the sensor.

Inventor: MALKIN PETER
IPC: B64C25/34
Filed: 2010-03-29
Abstract: Apparatus indicated generally at 26 is incorporated within an aircraft. The apparatus 26 includes an electric motor 28, a first drive train 30 and a second drive train 32. The first drive train 30 provides drive from the electric motor 28 for one or more of the wheels 20, allowing the electric motor 28 to propel the aircraft when taxiing. The second drive train 32 provides drive from the electric motor 28 for an aircraft system which is operational at least when the aircraft is in flight. In this example, the electric motor 28 is illustrated using the second drive train 32 for driving a compressor 34 of the ECS 24, the compressor 34 being responsible for cabin pressurisation during flight. A clutch 36 allows the drive train 30 to be connected or disconnected from the electric motor 28, thereby connecting or disconnecting the drive from the electric motor 28 to the wheels 20. The clutch 36 is controlled to disconnect the first drive train 30 when the aircraft is in flight. Thus, when the aircraft is in flight, the full output of the motor 28 is available for driving the compressor 34; when the aircraft is on the ground, the compressor 34 is not required or is less demanding, and surplus output of the motor 28 can be used for driving the wheels 20.

Abstract: A shared memory system for a multicore computer system utilizing an interconnection network that furnishes tens of processing cores or more with the ability to refer concurrently to random addresses in a shared memory space with efficiency comparable to the typical efficiency achieved when referring to private memories. The network is essentially a lean and light-weight combinational circuit, although it may also contain non-deep pipelining. The network is generally composed of a sub-network for writing and a separate multicasting sub-network for reading, whose topologies are based on multiple logarithmic multistage networks, e.g. Baseline Networks, connected in parallel. The shared memory system computes paths between processing cores and memory banks anew at every clock cycle, without rearrangement. It returns an approval reply to every core whose initiative of accessing memory leads to the successful establishment of a path and is fulfilled, or a rejection reply to every core whose initiative is not fulfilled.

Title: Method and apparatus for supporting distributed mimo in a wireless communication system
Inventor: HOU JILEI
IPC: H04B7/06
Filed: 2009-08-06
Abstract: Techniques for supporting distributed MIMO are described. For multi-user distributed MIMO, a cell directs its transmit power toward a UE while reducing interference to UE(s) in neighbor cell(s). For single-user distributed MIMO, multiple cells concurrently send transmissions to a UE. In an aspect, a UE sends channel estimates for serving and non-serving cells to support multi-user distributed MIMO. Each cell may use the channel estimates to select UEs for data transmission and determine precoding vectors to use for data transmission to the selected UEs. In another aspect, a UE sends CQI information for serving and non-serving cells to support single-user distributed MIMO. Each cell may use the CQI information to select UEs for data transmission and determine modulation and coding schemes to use for the selected UEs. In yet another aspect, a UE determines CQI  information for a serving cell by taking into account interference nulling by non-serving cells.
