Abstract: Method, apparatus and article of manufacture for monitoring and characterizing the operation of a transducer (i.e., motor or pump) downhole. In particular, transducer RPMs are determined by analysis of acoustic information. An acoustical source (signal generator) located on a downhole tool (e.g., a drill string) creates acoustic energy which is received and processed by a receiving unit, which may be located at the surface of a wellbore. The acoustical source is operably connected to the transducer, so that the frequency of the signal produced by the acoustical source corresponds to the speed of the transducer. The acoustic signal of the acoustical source may then be isolated from other acoustical energy produce by downhole equipment, such as a drill bit. Having determined transducer speed by isolation of the acoustic signal, other operating parameters may be determined. illustrative operating parameters include torque, flow, pressure, horsepower, and weight-on-bit.

Abstract: A fluid delivery system is described whereby sterile liquid may be delivered efficiently to a number of remote locations while nevertheless maintaining a continuous fluid flow through the system to prevent any bacterial growth. The system includes a storage tank feeding a first pipework loop including a first pump which urges fluid through said first loop at a first pressure and which returns to the tank, and also includes at least one pipework branch fed from the tank and having a second pump which urges fluid through the branch at a second pressure downstream of the second pump. The system functions efficaciously in that a branch manifold terminates each branch and a return manifold is provided in the first pipework loop. Between these two manifolds are connected one or more supply hoses interrupted by an offtake component which is a simple valve opening through which the fluid can be selectively delivered at the desired location. When one or more offtakes are opened, the conventional fluid flow in the hose which links that offtake to the return manifold is reversed on account of the pressures at which the two pumps in the firs pipework loop and the pipework branches operate. This type of operation allows for practically 100 % diversity, i.e. that condition where as many or as few offtakes in the system can be opened simultaneously without any practical reduction in the availability of fluid.

Abstract: Access control devices at a plurality of remote properties have unique identifiers and internal clocks. An electronic key generated by a key generation system which executes encryption algorithms converting information into cyphertext, including the property identifier and start time. Information converted into cyphertext corresponds to the access device identifier. To access the desired property, the generated key is input and the access control device converts cyphertext in the generated electronic key into plaintext.  The access control device authorizes users by independently comparing information in the generated key with information stored at the access control device. The access control device compares the property identifier obtained from cyphertext against the unique identifier and start date to the time determined by the internal clock, allowing access if the extracted property identifier corresponds to the access control identifier and the internal clock time is greater than the start date, by a duration value.
