Abstract: Disclosed is a method for introducing additives into an oil, gas, or water injection well or pipeline in solid form at a location other than at the bottom. The method is practiced using pellets having a density sufficient to suspend the pellet at a top phase, bottom phase or at the interface of two phases of fluid within a wellbore. The pellets are prepared from a pellet matrix, such as an ethoxylated wax, and a weighting agent as well as an additive. By varying the amount of weighting agent, the density of the pellet can be varied to suspend it at a desired point to for a time sufficient to deliver the additive to the desired point within the wellbore.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the production of metal alloys, especially magnesium alloys, having small particle size in a non-extruded metal alloy body, in addition to a device for carrying out said method and a product which is produced according to the inventive method. Cyclical, location-dependent, alternating charging of partial surfaces of the surface of the non-extruded metal alloy body enables them to be locally compressed and de-compressed. In association with a process temperature of up to 600 DEG C of the metal alloy body, this leads to a reduction in the particle size of the metal alloy on the surface, which in turn leads to a significant improvement of the rollability of the metal alloy.

Abstract: A method for associating a group of lighting units in a wireless-controlled lighting system to respective buttons or other control elements on a remote control. Each of the lighting units transmits, via modulation of its own illumination light, a unique identification code for the respective unit. The remote control is successively positioned to receive the modulated light from each lighting unit and, at each position, the user activates a respective control element of the remote control for association with the lighting unit. The remote control then transmits to a control master for the group the unique codes and codes identifying the respective control elements with which they have been associated.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for optimization and assessing the response to extra-systolic stimulation (ESS) are provided. An optimization/monitoring parameter is calculated as a function of potentiation ratio, PR and recirculation fraction, RF, derived from measurements of myocardial contractile during and after ESS. PR may be computed as the ratio of the contractile function on post-extra-systolic beats during ESS to baseline contractile function. RF may be computed as the slope of a linear regression performed on a plot of the contractile function for a post-extra-systolic beat versus the contractile function for the previous post-extra-systolic beat after ESS is ceased. Th ESI resulting in a maximum optimization/monitoring parameter. Preferably computed as the product of PR and RF, is determined as the optimal ESI. The operating ESI may be automatically adjusted and/or PR and RF data may be stored for monitoring purposes.

Abstract: Techniques for detecting radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags are disclosed. For example, an exit control system is described that detects unauthorized removal of articles from a protected facility. A series of antennas are setup to produce interrogation corridors located near the exit of the protected area. RFID tags are attached to the articles to be protected. Each tag includes information that uniquely identifies the article to which it is affixed and status information as to whether the articles removal from the facility is authorized. The RF reader outputs RF signals through the antennas to create electromagnetic fields within the interrogation corridors. The reader outputs RF power from a single port to the multiple antennas via a splitter/combiner. In this way, a single RF reader with only one transmitter/receiver port simultaneously interrogates multiple antennas. A variety of techniques are described by which the reader can detect the removal of an unauthorized article (Fig. 1).
