Title: Anchoring system and method
Inventor: CULPEPPER MARTIN L
IPC: E21B23/01
Filed: 2006-11-02
Abstract: An anchoring module capable of being secured within a structure includes at least one compliant ring configured to radially expand and an expandable device positioned within the compliant ring to expand the compliant ring from a relaxed state to interface with the structure. The anchoring module is part of a modular system used to harvest fluid, such as oil or natural gas from a structure, such as a pipe or well.  Another module of the system, sometimes referred to as a support or back-up module, employs an expandable surface that is capable of expanding to the diameter of the interior of the borehole. These modules may be combined in a variety of configurations to support a sealing element, such as an inflatable sealing element. The self-conforming nature of the system obviates the need for prior knowledge of the structure or complex sensor systems to chart the structure. The anchoring module can also be utilized in a crawling system to convey tools inside a structure.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and system for automatic color determination and a computer programme and computer-readable storage medium associated thereto, which may find application particularly in the field of electronic commerce. The invention enables, for example, a provider to specify the correct color of a merchandise so that a client is able to find, order and purchase said merchandise in a targeted manner. According to the invention, at least one color to be determined is recorded in a computer-readable form, together with one or more reference colors, as for example the shades of grey G1 to G16, the colors red, yellow, blue, white and/or black. A computer programme installed on a data processing unit reads the recorded data, compares the recorded data of at least part of the reference colors with the stored comparative values of said reference colors, and then determines automatically the one (or more) color(s) which is (are) to be determined by evaluating at least part of the recorded data relative to the color to be determined and at least part of the differential values resulting from the comparison of the read data and the stored comparative values.

Title: Novel infrared dry branching (idb) and infrared drying technologies for food processing
Inventor: MCHUGH TARA H
IPC: A23B4/01
Filed: 2005-08-10
Abstract: This invention relates to food processing and, in particular, blanching and dehydration of foods. Conventional blanching and dehydration requires use of steam and forced hot air. This invention is the first to effectively use infrared radiation energy to perform simultaneous blanching and dehydration of fruits and vegetables. Since this technology does not involve the addition of steam or water in the process of blanching, it has been named ~infrared dry-blanching~ (IDB) technology. IDB is intended to be a replacement for current steam, water and/or microwave blanching methods. It can be used to produce many kinds of value-added dried, refrigerated, frozen and dehydrofrozen foods such as fruit and vegetable products. In general, the advantages of IDB  include (1) uniform heating which enhances energy efficiency and limits damage from over-heating, (2) capability of zone heating to address differential density, (3) ability to treat large or small lots with the same piece of equipment, (4) portability, since equipment can be built on wheels, and (5) a safe, non-toxic process with no harmful side-effects to humans or the environment.

Title: Point to multipoint reliable protocol for synchronous streaming data in a lossy ip network
Inventor: MARTIN SCOTT
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2007-03-09
Abstract: A method and apparatus for improving the reliability in the synchronous streaming of data from a sender to multiple receivers, especially in networks having a limited bandwidth. The sender is configured to change the format of the data to be sent by segmenting the data into packets having maximum size, and identifying each packet with a message number. The transmit rate of the sender is adjusted according to the throughput bandwidth of the link so as to avoid congesting the link. Each receiver is configured to re-assemble the packets based upon the message number allocated to each packet, and re--create the data in the original format for being read by standard HD.TM. Radio Exciters. The Receivers may also be configured to keep track of the packet numbers and request re-transmission of lost packets, using the ARQ  (Automatic Retransmission Request) scheme.

Abstract: This invention relates to a cylindrical holder member for a bi-directional bulged rupture disc. The support body of the holder has a rim that supports the rupture disc with the concave surface of the disc facing the holder. The support body is provided with a unitary one-piece, centrally creased cutting element that is of generally V-shaped configuration in plan view. The cutting element has a pair of elongated converging leg components with each leg component being connected to and supported by the interior wall surface of the holder body, with each leg component having an arcuate cutting edge. The cutting edges of the leg components merge at the crease in the cutting element to define a central cutting edge peak section. The cutting element is positioned in the holder with the cutting edge peak section extending beyond the rim of the support body into the concave area of the disc. The V-shaped cutting element functions to provide for a fuller and more rapid opening of the disc upon reversal and engagement with the cutting element as compared with prior reverse buckling disc three-knife blade cutter units. The invention has especial utility in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical applications requiring sanitary pressure relief rupture disc structure.
