Title: Method and apparatus for connecting a lateral branch liner to a main well bore
Inventor: OHMER HERVE
IPC: E21B47/12
Filed: 1999-11-19
Abstract: A method and apparatus for establishing connectivity of lateral branch liners to main well casings to achieve predictable and stable mechanical connectivity at the lateral junction of branch well bores to the main well bore to counter the problems of formation instability at the junction. After construction of a well having one or more lateral branches, a retrievable lateral branch template is located in the casing of a main well bore in positioned and oriented registry with a casing window that opens to a lined lateral branch. A retrievable lateral branch connector is then installed in assembly with the template to cooperatively define a production flow path having maximized mechanical integrity and optimized production flow in both the lateral bore and the main bore. Electrical power or hydraulic pressure conductors incorporated in the template and connector assembly may be used to provide for production and control of main and branch well bore production after installation.

Patent CA-2561782-A1 (CA)
Title: Communication station with multiple antennas
Inventor: LOMP GARY R
IPC: H04W52/52
Filed: 1998-05-26
Abstract: The present invention relates to communications for communication systems. The communication includes an antenna system which is coupled to an RF receiver/transmitter which in turn is coupled to other signal processing equipment including at least one modem for processing individual CDMA communications. Preferably the antenna system includes multiple antennas and delay units and outputs a combined signal having a known distortion imparted by the antenna system. The combined signal is in turn processed by the modem.      The modem compensates for the known distortion in a manner which provides improved signal gain. The improved signal gain permits a reduction in transmit power and, accordingly, increased capacity of the CDMA system. Where the antenna system is to be remotely located from the signal processing equipment, separate units for the RF receiver/transmitter and the other signal processing equipment are provided so that the RF receiver/transmitter may also be remotely located along with the antenna system. Preferably a connecting cable of at least 20 feet is provided which supplies RF signals and DC power to the RF receiver/transmitter from the other signal processing equipment.

Abstract: In an active system, an actor (10-1) is able to effect action (10-4) in a subject system (10-2). The actor (10-1) and the subject system (10-2) exist in an environment (10-3) which can impact the subject system (10-2). Neither the actor (10-1) nor the subject system (10-2) has any control over the environment (10-3). The actor (10-1) includes a model (11-1) and a processor (11-2). The processor (11-2) is guided (11-5) by the model (11-1). The processor (11-2) is arranged to effect action (11-4) in the subject system (10-2) . The subject system (10-2) is known (11-3) by the model (11-1). This allows the actor (10-1) to be guided in its action (11-4) on the subject system (10-2) by the model (11-1) of the subject system (10-2). Events can occur in the subject system (10-2) either through the actions of the actor (10-1), as guided by the model (11-1), or through actions of other actors, or through a change in state of the subject system itself (e.g. the progression of a chemical reaction) or its environment (10-3) (e.g. the passage of time).  The actor (10-1) keeps the model (11-1) updated with its own actions. When the processor (11-2) is processing according to the model (11-1), it updates the model (11-1) with intermediate actions and with the actions it effects in the subject system (10-2).
