Patent CA-2353900-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KOHL KRISTOPHER T
IPC: E21B37/06
Filed: 1999-12-17
Abstract: A system is provided that monitors at the wellsite injection of additives into formation fluids recovered through well bores and controls the supply of such additives from remote locations. A pump supplies the selected additive from a source at the wellsite into the wellbore via a suitable supply line. A flow meter in the supply line measures the flow rate of the additive through the supply line and generates signals representative of the flow rate. A controller at the wellsite determines the flow rate from the flow meter signals and in response thereto controls the pump to control the flow rate of the additive to the well. The wellsite controller interfaces with a suitable two-way communication link and transmits signals and data representative of the flow rate and other parameters to a second remote controller. The remote controller transmits command signals to the wellsite controller representative of any change desired for the flow rate. The wellsite controller is microprocessor based and may be programmed at the wellsite or by the remote controller to adjust the flow rate. The system of the present invention may be configured for multiple wells, with each well having a separate wellsite controller or a common wellsite controller.

Title: System for and method of creating and browsing a voice web
Inventor: COHEN MICHAEL H
IPC: H04M7/12
Filed: 1999-12-01
Abstract: The present invention allows a user to audibly and interactively browse through a network of audio information, forming a seamless integration of the world wide web and the entire telephone network browsable from any telephone set. Preferably a browser controllers (102) allows the user (100) to receive audio information and to transmit verbal instructions. The browser controller (102) links the user (100) to voice pages (108, 112, 114, 116, 118, 120), which can be any telephone station (108, 112, 114, 116) or world wide web page (120), in response to voice commands. Upon linking, certain information is played with an audio indicia which identifies a linking capability. If the user (100) repeats the information set off by the audio indicia, the telephone number or URL of the selected link is transmitted to the browser controller (112). The browser controller (112) establishes a new link with the identified telephone number or URL, and if successful, disconnects the previous link. The originator (100) no longer needs to know of the existence of the receiver nor the telephone number or URL of the receiver because this invention provides a method to browse the entire telephone network and world wide web and to connect to a receiver by saying the name of the hyperlink. This brings the power of the world wide web to the telephone network. In effect, this invention takes the PSTN from its current state as a set of more than 800 million nodes including means to make pairwise connections and converts it to a highly interconnected browsable web, as well as integrating it with the entire world wide web.

Patent CA-2357656-A1 (CA)
Title: Apparatus and method for determining the output speed of a hydrostatic unit in a hydro-mechanical transmission
Inventor: JOHNSON DOUGLAS RENE
IPC: F16H59/42
Filed: 2001-09-24
Abstract: The output speed of a hydrostatic unit in a transmission is determined using a pair of variable reluctance sensors, one on a gear driven by the hydrostatic unit output and the other on the carrier of the planetary system. One of the two sensors will always be measuring a relatively high speed from which the hydro output is directly determined or indirectly determined using the current engine speed.  Thus the frequency of the speed sensor used to determine the hydrostatic unit output speed is not decreased at slow hydrostatic unit output speeds.

IPC: G01N33/00
Filed: 2002-01-04
Abstract: To provide a CO sensor and a CO-concentration measurement method which enable accurate measurement of CO concentration even when hydrogen concentration of a gas under measurement changes. Through application of a first predetermined voltage between first and second electrodes 7 and 8, hydrogen contained in a gas under measurement which has been introduced into a first measurement space 2 via a first diffusion-controlling section 1 is dissociated, decomposed, or reacted with another element in order to generate protons. The thus-generated protons are moved from the first electrode 7 to the second electrode 8 via a first proton-conductive layer or protons are moved from the second electrode 8 to the first electrode 7 via the first proton-conductive layer 5 (when the hydrogen concentration of the measurement gas is extremely low), so that the hydrogen concentration within the first measurement space 2 is controlled to a constant level. The gas under measurement having a controlled hydrogen concentration is introduced into a second measurement space 4 via a second diffusion-controlling section 3, and a second predetermined voltage is applied between third and fourth electrodes 9 and 10. The CO concentration of the gas under measurement is obtained on the basis of current (limiting current of protons) which flows between the third and fourth electrodes 9 and 10.  Alternatively, the CO concentration of the gas under measurement is obtained from electromotive force generated between the third and fourth electrodes 9 and 10.

IPC: G01T3/06
Filed: 2002-03-07
Abstract: An improved fast neutron detector fabricated with alternating layers of hydrogenous, optically transparent, non scintillating material and scintillating material. Fast neutrons interact with the hydrogenous material generating recoil protons. The recoil protons enter the scintillating material resulting in scintillations.  The detector is optically coupled to a photomultiplier tube which generates electrical pulses proportional in amplitude to the intensity of the scintillations, and therefore are an indication of the energy of the fast neutrons impinging upon the detector. Alternating layers of materials are dimensioned to optimize total efficiency of the detector, or to optimize the spectroscopy efficiency of the detector. The scintillating material is preferably ZnS, and the hydrogenous material is preferably plastic. The detector is ideally suited for well logging applications and fast neutron monitor applications.
