Inventor: SIMPSON NEIL ANDREW ABERCROMBI
IPC: E21B43/10
Filed: 2001-11-08
Abstract: The present invention provides methods and apparatus for cutting tubulars in a wellbore. In one aspect of the invention, a cutting tool having radially disposed rolling element cutter is provided for insertion into a wellbore to a predetermined depth where a tubular therearound will be cut into an upper and lower portion. The cutting tool is constructed and arranged to be rotated while the actuated cutters exert a force on the inside wall of the tubular, thereby severing the tubular therearound. In one aspect, the apparatus is run into the well on wireline which is capable of bearing the weight of the apparatus while supplying a source of electrical power to at least one downhole motor which operates at least one hydraulic pump. The hydraulic pump operates a slip assembly to fix the downhole apparatus within the wellbore prior to operation of the cutting tool. Thereafter, the pump operates a downhole motor to rotate the cutting tool while the cutters are actuated.

Patent CA-2559264-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HADALA ANTHONY J
IPC: G01F23/00
Filed: 2005-03-12
Abstract: The present invention deals with determining the level of fluid in a container. Typically, a beverage container containing a liquid will absorb heat energy from the surrounding environment at a greater rate than a gaseous component in the headspace of the beverage container. Thus, as the liquid is drawn from a beverage container a greater headspace results. If a thermometric measuring device is employed along the height of the beverage container the volume may be determined by observing the difference in the temperature along the height of the beverage container. In practice, a beer keg may exhibit a difference of as much as 9 ~ Fahrenheit on the exterior surface of the beer keg when measured at the headspace as opposed to the area where the liquid is present in the beverage container.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un procédé permettant d'améliorer un spectre de masse recueilli à partir d'un spectromètre de masse comprenant un détecteur servant à recueillir un spectre de masse à partir des ions stockés dans un volume de piégeage d'ions ou libérés à partir d'un tel volume de piégeage d'ions. Dans ce procédé, l'attribution des masses à des crêtes apparaissant dans le spectre de masse est sensible à un paramètre expérimental relatif au spectromètre de masse ou à son fonctionnement, tel que l'abondance des ions. Ce procédé consiste: à déterminer une valeur de position de crête; à déterminer le paramètre expérimental associé au spectre de masse; à comparer la valeur de position déterminée avec les valeurs de position de crêtes contenues dans un ensemble de données d'étalonnage; et à améliorer la valeur de position déterminée de la crête à partir des valeurs de positions de crêtes adjacentes par interpolation, pour produire ainsi une attribution de masse corrigée pour la crête en question. Cette invention concerne également un procédé d'étalonnage d'un tel spectromètre de masse.

IPC: G06F15/18
Filed: 2005-03-22
Abstract: A system and method for generating a neural network ensemble. Conventional algorithms are used to train a number of neural networks having error diversity, for example by having a different number of hidden nodes in each network. A genetic algorithm having a multi-objective fitness function is used to select one or more ensembles. The fitness function includes a negative error correlation objective to insure diversity among the ensemble members. A  genetic algorithm may be used to select weighting factors for the multi-objective function. In one application, a trained model may be used to produce synthetic open hole logs in response to inputs of cased hole log data.
