Title: Perforating systems with insensitive high explosive
Inventor: JAMES MARSHALL BARKER
IPC: F42B3/08
Filed: 2014-09-03
Abstract: The shaped charge comprises a main charge, including an insensitive high explosive and operable to perforate a wellbore, a detonator and at least one booster comprising insensitive high explosive. Detonation transfer from the detonating cord to the booster area 500a of the shaped charge 600a uses an embedded anvil 420b and flyer plate 430b or with the addition of an external flyer plate 510a and spacers along with embedded anvil 420c and flyer plate 430c (Fig 11). The shaped charge 600a contains insensitive high explosive 110k and 110j. The insensitive high explosive may be superfine high explosive. Insensitive high explosives may improve the safety of perforation methods as compared to methods using traditional high explosive because traditional high explosives may detonate inappropriately, particularly in accident scenarios.

Title: Decommissioning subsea infrastructure
Inventor: ARNBJORN JOENSEN
IPC: F16L1/16
Filed: 2020-12-14
Abstract: A method of dewatering a subsea pipeline bundle assembly 10 before lifting the assembly from the seabed comprises adding discrete buoyancy, such as floatation elements, 24 to an elongate carrier pipe of the assembly. The buoyancy elevates one or more portions of the carrier pipe disposed between drainage outlets 36, 38,48, 50, 52 of the assembly. Each elevated portion defines inclined falls that slope downwardly in opposed longitudinal directions toward the respective outlets. Water within the carrier pipe drains down the falls toward the outlets. Injecting a dewatering fluid into the carrier pipe promotes expulsion of water from the pipe through the outlets by downward displacement of the water. Drainage may be assisted by a venturi effect driven by accelerating the flow of the dewatering fluid at a location in line with an outlet. The assembly may comprise a towhead at the end of the carrier pipe. At least one of the outlets may be located at the towhead. The method may include the step of de-watering at least one towhead to reduce its apparent weight. An arrangement of apparatus is also claimed.

Title: Controlling time synchronisation in a wireless network
Inventor: ROMAIN GUIGNARD
IPC: H04W56/00
Filed: 2021-06-30
Abstract: To control time synchronisation in a wireless network, the user equipment (UE) determines synchronisation requirements and, based on these requirements, sends a control message to the base station to control a time synchronisation process between the UE and the base station. In a second aspect of the invention, the base station determines the synchronisation requirements and sends the control message to the UE. The synchronisation requirements include whether synchronisation is required, and whether path delay compensation is required. The control message may be sent in response to receiving a message from a core network entity, and may include a duration time for which the synchronisation process is to be active. The message from the core network entity may enable a Device Side Time Sensitive Network Translator (DS-TT) function associated with the UE.

Title: Data coding and decoding
Inventor: GUILLAUME LAROCHE
IPC: H04N19/52
Filed: 2022-06-09
Abstract: Processing predictors, e.g. for the encoding or decoding of video, images, point cloud, or audio data. A list of predictors is obtained, having at least two predictors, such as motion vector predictor candidates in video coding. It is determined whether to modify the list of predictors based on a criterion using a first cost related to a first predictor in the list and a second cost related to a second predictor in the list. The list of predictors is modified based on the determination. The criterion is based on a threshold value. Preferably, the decision relates to whether to reorder predictors or candidates in the list, or whether to remove or delete predictors or candidates from the list. The criterion may involve comparing the absolute difference of the costs of the predictors to the threshold. A predictor may be deleted or moved to the end of the list if the costs of the predictor and its predecessor in the list are similar (below the threshold). The first candidate in the list may be fixed or excluded from reordering. In another aspect, the list may be modified based on a comparison of a cost related to a single predictor against a threshold.
