Title: Damper for high pressure fuel pump
Inventor: ANDREAS AYE
IPC: F04B11/00
Filed: 2015-05-22
Abstract: A damper assembly 22 of gasoline direct injection (GDI) equipment is adapted to be arranged in a low pressure line prior to reaching a high pressure fuel pump or may be integral with the pump. The damper assembly 22 comprises a chamber 40 with fuel inlet 48 and fuel outlet 50, and a pulsation pressure damper member 52 arranged in the chamber 40. The pulsation pressure damper member 52 varies its volume under the influence of pressure waves. The pulsation pressure damper member 52 may be a flexible, eg rubber, hose 54 through which the fuel flows, fig.3, the chamber 40 itself being filled with air. The hose 54 may be coiled inside the chamber 40. Alternatively, pulsation pressure damper member 52 may be one or more closed lengths of flexible hose eg in the form of concentric rings, fig.4, or coiled or folded (figs.6-9), the hoses being filled with air or inert gas and fuel flowing through the chamber 40 outside the hoses 54.

Title: A monitoring system
Inventor: MICHAEL ADAM ZAGRODNIK
IPC: G01N31/22
Filed: 2015-06-08
Abstract: A system 30 comprises a component 32 that is dosed to include a chemical marker 44 which releases gas at or above a known temperature. An operating environment 36 in which the component is installed includes a chemical sensor 42 arranged to measure the chemical composition of the operating environment. A processor 54 receives measurements from the chemical sensor and determines the temperature of the component from the composition and concentration of the chemical marker 44 measured by the chemical sensor. The component may be part of a transformer, generator or motor, a magnet in a permanent magnet machine, a capacitor, a wire or a power switching module. Alternatively it may be a bearing housing, drive shaft or other moving component, a cover, support, patch, tape or coating. The chemical sensor may be a mass spectrometer. The chemical marker may be an organic compound which becomes volatile at a known temperature. The known temperature is below the temperature at which the system would fail. Preventative action may be taken on the basis of the chemical marker being sensed, such as cooling or shutting down the system or sounding an alarm.

Title: Methods and systems for locating seismic events
Inventor: KAHN DANIEL S
IPC: G01V1/28
Filed: 2014-03-12
Abstract: A method for locating a seismic event comprises combining a single difference seismic locator and a reverse double difference seismic locator into a combined system of equations; and solving the combined system of equations to determine a location of the seismic event in substantially real time relative to the seismic event; wherein the combined system of equations is weighted such that the determined location of the seismic event is partially influenced by the single difference seismic locator and partially influenced by the reverse double difference seismic locator. The reverse double difference seismic locator may utilise relative differences between picked arrival times and calculated travel times to more accurately calculate the location of the seismic event. In embodiments a graphical representation of the seismic event may be displayed which varies in time based on the uncertainty. This representation may vary in time by moving within an enclosed space representing a bounded volume.

Title: Emission of a signal in unused resource units to increase energy detection of a 802.11 channel
Inventor: PASCAL VIGER
IPC: H04W74/08
Filed: 2015-06-24
Abstract: In an IEEE 802.11ax network with an access point, a trigger frame offers scheduled and random resource units to nodes for data uplink communication to the access point. To avoid the overall energy level seen by legacy nodes for a communication channel to drop below a detection threshold, the invention provides two methods. First, the scheduled and random Resource Units (RU) may be interleaved over communication channels. Second, unused resource units may be detected, and a node or the access point may send a padding signal on them to increase the overall energy level. The latter may be evaluated during a monitoring period before deciding to emit the signal. As the overall energy level seen by legacy nodes is increased, the risk that such legacy nodes do not detect activity on a 20MHz channel having only a subpart of its RUs used is reduced, and risks of collisions are consequently reduced. For use in contention based networks based on Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) wherein a channel idle state is detected using clear channel assessment (CCA), and more particularly CCA-Energy Detect (CCA-ED).

Title: Gas lift analysis and troubleshooting
Inventor: Larry Peacock
IPC: E21B47/11
Filed: 2014-06-09
Abstract: Methods and computer program products for evaluating the performance of a gas lift well. The method includes measuring key gas lift well parameter data and concentration of a tracer present in a substance retrieved from the gas lift well which was injected into the annulus formed between a well casing and a production tubing of the gas lift well. The actual travel time of the tracer which corresponds to a time duration required for injected tracer and lift gas to travel from the injection point, down the annulus, through one or more points of entry of the lift gas into the production tubing is then determined based on a deviation in the concentration of the tracer measured by accounting for variations in a fractal obtained by plotting multiple key well parameter data and a concentration of the tracer in a multi-dimensional time dependent plot.

Title: Diversion-resistant opioid formulations
Inventor: THOMAS E JENKINS
IPC: A61P25/04
Filed: 2015-10-20
Abstract: The present invention provides a composition comprising an opioid agonist, and a polymer-antagonist conjugate. The polymer-antagonist conjugate preferably does not hydrolyze upon administration to a patient, and does not bind to the opioid receptors.

This may prevent inadvertent activation of parts of the construction machinery, thus preventing accidental damage to the construction or injuring a worker. Some functionalities of the first control handle 37 may be disabled and assigned or changed-over to the second control handle 38 if the angle of the first arm support exceeds a predetermined threshold. Preferentially, only some, e.g. hazardous functionalities are disabled. A pivotable seat comprising the armrest assembly and a method of operating construction machine are disclosed.
