Patent CA-2384475-A1 (CA)
Title: Screened boot basket/filter
Inventor: HERN GREGORY L
IPC: E21B27/00
Filed: 2002-05-02
Abstract: A downhole debris filtering apparatus is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, the flow diverter is retracted as the tool is run in to provide easy passage for debris. Settling velocity is the rate at which debris wilt fall through the fluid. Settling velocity is dependent on the density of the fluid and the debris density. If the fluid velocity exceeds the settling velocity, the debris will rise. The restricted annular area outside the screens raises the fluid velocity.  Above the cup sleeve , the annular area increases significantly and the fluid velocity is reduce to below the settling velocity to allow debris to settle to the bottom of the tool. On run in, the fluid merely bypasses on the outside of the filter. Large debris will settle into the tool as described. When pulled out of the hole the swab cup/ flow diverter is actuated into casing or liner wall contact and a large passage is opened to allow flow though the filter. Small debris that has risen above the tool will be captured as the fluid is filtered through the screen. Another embodiment with a non-retractable cup uses a sliding sleeve valve with a large open area which promotes free flow and minimizes fouling from deposited debris.

Inventor: IWAI KAZUO
IPC: A23L3/3463
Filed: 2000-09-28
Abstract: The present invention provides a disinfectant/sterilizing composition which includes hinokitiol as the active ingredient. The composition has enhanced solubility of the hinokitiol in water without the need for alcohol as a solubilizing enhancing ingredient due to the presence of aloe vera extract, green tea extract, low striped bamboo extract and dokudami extract. In addition, the solubility of the hinokitiol in water is further enhanced by the additional inclusion of glycerin fatty acid ester surfactant and cara saponine emulsifier. In addition to enhancing the solubility of the hinokitiol in water, the above-noted plant extracts also serve to enhance the biocidal effect of hinokitiol and avoid the objectionable strong odor usually associated with hinokitiol compositions.

Title: System, analyzer, and method for synchronizing a distributed system
Inventor: SIKDAR SOM
IPC: H04L12/24
Filed: 1999-12-27
Abstract: A method for synchronizing a distributed system is provided. The distributed system includes distributed analyzers. Each analyzer has a synchronization decoder circuit, a medium access controller, and a central processing unit. The distributed system synchronization method comprises receiving multicast information, generating local synchronization signals, receiving control data packets, and beginning processing of monitored data packets. The synchronization decoder circuit receives the multicast information, decodes the multicast information, and responsive to the multicast information, generates local synchronization signals. The decoder synchronization circuit of a first analyzer completes the decoding and the generating in a first time. The first time is adapted to enable the central processing unit of the first analyzer to start and end processing of monitored data packets at a first start time and a first end time. The first start time differs from a start time corresponding to any other analyzer by less than a maximum synchronization time. The first end time differs from an end time corresponding to any other analyzer by less than a maximum synchronization time. The maximum synchronization time comprises a parameter related to a smallest useful packet size and a network speed. The medium access controller receives control data packets. Each control data packet corresponds to a data stream. The monitored data packets are transmitted in a data stream selected for monitoring. Responsive to the local synchronization signals and the control data packets, the central processing unit for each analyzer processes monitored data packets.
