Title: Drilling apparatus
IPC: E21B7/06
Filed: 2001-01-23
Abstract: Directional drilling apparatus for use in drilling a deviated bore comprises a mandrel for mounting to a drill string and having a main axis. A non-rotating mass is rotatably mounted on the mandrel and has a center-of-gravity spaced from the mandrel axis. The apparatus further comprises an offsetting arrangement including a non-rotating offsetting portion rotatably mounted on the mandrel, coupled to the mass, and having an outer profile defining an offset relative to the mandrel axis, and a bearing portion rotatably mounted on the offsetting portion. In use, the apparatus is run into an inclined bore on a string, and the offsetting portion is oriented relative to the mass. When the string is rotated the mass tends towards an orientation with its center-of-gravity positioned towards the low side of the bore and thus tends to maintain the offsetting portion in a desired relative orientation in the bore, the bearing portion rotationally isolating the offsetting portion from the bore wall.

Patent GB-0400226-D0 (GB)
Title: Improved air/particle separator
IPC: B04C5/185
Filed: 2001-07-05
Abstract: A method of separating particles from particle laden air is described. The apparatus employed is a multiple stage separator in which the first stage comprises a generally cylindrical chamber (18) having a hollow central member (50) extending axially from one end thereof with openings in its wall (53) remote from the said one end. The first separation step is achieved by introducing air tangentially into the chamber (18) near its said one end, the tangential entry in combination with an unapertured region of the wall (53) of the central member establishing a rotating mass of air in the chamber, thereby causing heavier than air particles to migrate to the outer regions of the chamber (18) under centrifugal force. Suction is applied to the interior of the central member (42) to cause an axial movement of air through the chamber before it can exit through the openings in the wall (53) of the central member. The suction force is selected such that particles near the walls of the chamber tend to continue in a generally rotational and axially progressive path into a particle collecting region (26) of the chamber, while relatively particle-free air is drawn radially inwardly, as it progresses axially, so as to exit to a second separation stage (40), through the openings in the central member wall (53). A skirt (56) extends from the end of the central member beyond the region containing the exit openings, to define a narrow annular gap between the skirt (56) and the wall (22) of the chamber, so that particles in the collection region (26) are prevented from reaching the exit openings (52). An annular flange (68) is provided around the central member (50) between the unapertured and apertured regions of the wall thereof, so as to force the vortex of rotating air within the chamber away from the central member as it progresses along the chamber (18). Particles separated in a later separation stage (40) are conveyed to a particle collecting region (66) via a passage extending through the central member (50) of the first stage, which may include a valve which is closed during air flow, and is opened after air flow ceases to allow particles collected upstream of the valve to pass into the particle collecting region. <IMAGE>

Title: System and method for connecting unix utilities to the internet
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 2004-07-23
Abstract: A technique to link a computer system using a Unix operating system with a remote computer via the Internet to access data residing on the remote computer and to manipulate the accessed data on the computer system. This is achieved by checking an argument in a received Unix command including the argument for an Internet URL. If the argument is found to be an Internet URL, then an Internet URL protocol library is searched for associated Internet URL. Communication between the computer system using the Unix operating system and the remote computer is then initiated via the Internet, if the associated Internet URL is found. Once the communication is established between the computer system and the remote computer via the Internet, desired data residing on the remote computer is accessed and manipulated on the computer system based on the intended function of the Unix command.

Title: Data processing apparatus and method for determining an initial estimate of a result value of a reciprocal operation
IPC: G06F7/535
Filed: 2005-07-25
Abstract: A data processing apparatus and method generate an initial estimate of a result value that would be produced by performing a reciprocal operation on an input value. The input value and the result value are either fixed point values or floating point values. The data processing apparatus comprises processing logic for executing instructions to perform data processing operations on data, and a lookup table referenced by the processing logic during generation of the initial estimate of the result value. The processing logic is responsive to an estimate instruction to reference the lookup table to generate, dependent on a modified input value that is within a predetermined range of values, a table output value. For a particular modified input value, the same table output value is generated irrespective of whether the input value is a fixed point value or a floating point value. The initial estimate of the result value is then derivable from the table output value. This provides a particularly efficient technique for performing the initial estimate generation within a data processing apparatus where the reciprocal operation may be performed on either fixed point values or floating point values.

Title: Improvement of gel composition in gels for submerged gel electrophoresis
IPC: G01N27/447
Filed: 1991-03-01
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/EP92/00368 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 24, 1992 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 24, 1992 PCT Filed Feb. 21, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO92/15868 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 17, 1992.The method of electrophoresis uses for separation of charged species their different mobilities in an electric field. The process is usually carried out by forcing the molecules to migrate through an aqueous gel. The gels are run in essentially two types of electrophoretic units: vertical and horizontal ones. It was found that in the standard submerged electrophoresis units the resolution of DNA in the poly(NAT) gels was never so good as in the vertical system. It was observed that by looking at the gel from above under an angle declined from the vertical, the viewed DNA bands in the gel were much sharper than they were pictured on the photograph taken by a camera positioned more or less vertically above the gel. On basis of this observation it was assumed that the diffuseness of bands seen on the photograph did not originate from a real diffuseness of bands in the gel, but rather from the vertical position of the camera and bending of the bands against the vertical axis. If the bands in the gel could be made essentially vertical, then the resolution taken by the usually positioned camera would be qualitatively better and besides that independent of the sample volume. It is the main goal to prevent such bending of bands in gels during electrophoresis.

Abstract: The present multi-step changeover type series (or compound) field winding for shunt motor speed control circuit having transient storage effect relates to a series field winding having plural intermediate taps, series with a choke diode between with the power supply and parallel connnecting an energy storage diode, capacitor, etc., and a shunt switch device for carrier control is parallel connected between the power supply and each tap, when the controlled switch device is broken circuit, motor armature current will pass by the series field winding in full; when the switch device is conducted the power supply current will be shunted by the controlled switch device leading to the armature through the other series windings or directly, leading to the armature while the field is excited continuously with the storage element in order to advance armature voltage under much stable flux intensity depending on the ratio of conducting time to broken circuit cycle by the control of each shunt switch device and further to control the speed of motor. Some part of series winding may be parallel connected to the shunt switch device and the remainings maintain series with armature in order to meet a flexible requirement, or a plural series field winding taps matching a plural shunt switch device in order to select turn ratio of relatively controlled winding; in addition shunt ratio can be controlled with the feedback signal of current or running speed. The shunt switch device required by the present design may comprise matured thyristor or switch transistor. <IMAGE>
