Title: System and method for isotopic signature and mass analysis
Inventor: CASTRO-PEREZ JOSE
IPC: G01N30/72
Filed: 2004-07-02
Abstract: Mass intensity values, isotopic ratios and exact mass differences between isotopes may be obtained and analyzed to determine if there are one or more masses of interest. In one implementation, a method will look among the mass intensity values for peaks of interest. The mass intensity values, representative of isotopic signatures, will be compared to a criteria in order to determine which of the masses are of interest. Although the invention is not so limited, examples of such criteria include mass intensity values above a specified threshold, within a certain ratio of another mass intensity value, and/or separation between the masses themselves. Optionally, a tolerance may be applied to the criteria. If masses are found to be of interest, MS/MS can automatically be triggered for one or all of the masses of interest, when an analyzing system such as an LC-MS-MS, GC-MS-MS or MALDI-MS-MS system is used.

Title: Apparatus for swaging a collar onto an externally grooved member
Inventor: DEAR AIDEN ROBERT
IPC: F16B19/05
Filed: 2006-02-10
Abstract: A manually held hydraulically and pneumatically powered swaging tool for swaging a collar 35 onto a grooved or threaded bolt 36 includes jaws 39 having internal grooves 40 which match the grooves 20 on the bolt. The jaws are openable to receive the projecting portion of the bolt and are closable to engage the bolt. An anvil 26 outside the jaws is axially movable by hydraulic means forwards over the jaws to lock them into engagement with the bolt, and then to force the anvil over the collar 35 to swage it to the bolt. The tool includes a detection rod 51 for detecting when the bolt 36 has been fully inserted into the open jaws 39, thereby to initiate closure of the jaws by pneumatic means. Also, initial forwards movement of the anvil 26 is arranged to move the jaws axially forwards by an appropriate small distance, if this is necessary to axially align the grooves on the jaws correctly in relation to the grooves on the bolt to enable closure of the jaws.

Title: Adjustable damper with valve mounted in-line
Inventor: DEGRONCKEL DIRK
IPC: F16F9/32
Filed: 2004-09-10
Abstract: A damper includes an outer cylinder and an inner cylinder.

Title: Reducing time for data transmission between repeater nodes
Inventor: LEWIS ANDREW
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 2007-04-24
Abstract: A telecommunications system, for communicating data between a control node 5 and a mobile device 1, comprises a plurality of repeater nodes 2-4, each repeater node having a transceiver unit 10 to transmit and receive data to and from one or more other repeater nodes 2-4, the control node 5 or the mobile device 1 within a predetermined range, and a processing unit 11 to control the transceiver unit 10. The control node 5 transmits data in a downstream direction to the mobile device 1 via the repeater nodes 2-4 and receives data from the mobile device 1 transmitted in an upstream direction via the repeater nodes 2-4. Communication in the upstream and downstream directions via the repeater nodes 2-4 uses a time frame divided into a plurality of time slots (TS1-TS5 fig.2), each time slot being allocated to the repeater nodes 2-4 so that each repeater node transmits to another repeater node in a time slot which is a minimal time from the time slot in which the other repeater node transmits data. Hence, the time taken for upstream or downstream data to be transmitted from a mobile device 1 to the control node 5, via the repeater nodes 2-4, is reduced.

Title: Optical fibre sensor
Inventor: MACDOUGALL TREVOR
IPC: G01K11/32
Filed: 2007-09-07
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for multiple discrete point temperature sensing for particular use in a wellbore. A single unitary ribbon-like structure forms a dual or multicore waveguide 100. The separate optical cores 102, 104 each have at least one reflective grating such as a Bragg grating 202, 204 disposed therein such that the wavelength of light reflected by the gratings is in response to temperature and any strain applied to the sensor from a surrounding environment. The responses to strain from each of the gratings are similar while the responses from each of the gratings to temperature are dissimilar due to the cores having different characteristics such as doping, geometry and intrinsic strain. The responses from each grating enable compensation for strain in order to provide an accurate temperature measurement at the location of the sensor.
