Title: Mapping downhole equipment using a gyroscope
Inventor: YANG WENBO
IPC: E21B43/1185
Filed: 2002-04-24
Abstract: Downhole components are detected and mapped by running a detector and a gyroscope together. The gyroscope provides directional data whilst the detector may be any type appropriate for detecting the target components. Typically, these are control lines 140 and may be filled with radioactive fluid to facilitate detection by a gamma ray logging tool. Once the components have been located, a gun string 1 is oriented to point away from them to prevent damage during perforating of the casing 142. Alternative detectors may include thermal imagers, electromagnetic survey tools and acoustic velocity loggers and the components may be tagged with a smart card type transducer or an electronic or magnetic tag.

Title: I.c. engine in-cylinder ionization detection system with ionization detection circuit and ignition coil driver circuit integrated into a single package
Inventor: HUBERTS GARLAN J
IPC: F02D41/02
Filed: 2003-10-30
Abstract: This invention is related to the field of automobile ignition control and diagnosis systems. More particularly, it is related to the field of integrating multiple electronic devices into a single package, electronics package or Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), to reduce part count and package size. The present invention comprises two embodiments of an integrated ionization detection circuit 80 and ignition on coil driver 75 according to the present invention, an ASIC (fig 52) and a single package (fig 53). The apparatuses reduce the cost and complexity of an in-cylinder ionization detection system by combining like functionality into one ASIC or electronic module easing packaging constraints. In both embodiments, a current sink 94 is used. The current sink 94 removes noise in the form of voltage spikes. The voltage spikes are high voltage, but of short duration. The current sink prevents these spikes from turning on the IGBT 22. However, the current sink 94 allows the IGBT command signal to pass. This feature of the present invention also comprises a switch whereby ionization current and coil primary current are multiplexed.

Title: Accessing files within different directory hierarchies
Inventor: FITZGERALD RICHARD COLIN
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2004-06-23
Abstract: A method of enabling an operating system which conforms to a first directory hierarchy, to access a file within a second directory hierarchy, comprises translating a pathname of a format commensurate with the first hierarchy into a second format commensurate with the second hierarchy. This translation may comprise a string manipulation such as stripping or substituting a portion of the pathname. The translation may alternatively comprise skipping a portion of a pathname, or determining a mapping between two hierarchies. A portable device may therefore be able to access files on a dissimilar, e.g. removable, storage medium.

Title: Molecular detector arrangement
Inventor: GILBERT RICHARD
IPC: G01N33/68
Filed: 2005-10-14
Abstract: A method of detecting the presence or absence of an analyte in a sample uses an analyte carrier with a calibration dye held in a region near a metal surface. A reporter dye is held away from a region near the metal surface and is displaceably attached to a selective agent. The selective agent is capable of binding to an analyte so that when the analyte binds to the selective agent the reporter dye detaches and moves to a region near a metal surface. The difference in response to illumination from the reporter dye and calibration dye can be used to detect the presence, amount or absence of an analyte sample.

Title: System and method for combining data streams in pipelined storage operations in a storage network
Inventor: RETNAMMA MANOJ KUMAR VIJAYAN
IPC: G06F12/16
Filed: 2004-11-15
Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for multiplexing pipelined data for backup operations. Various data streams are combined such as by multiplexing by a multiplexing module. The multiplexing module combines the data from the various data streams received by receiver module(s) into a single stream of chunks. The multiplexing module may combine data from multiple archive files into a single chunk. Additional modules perform other operations on the chunks of data to be transported such as encryption, compression, etc. The data chunks are transmitted via a transport channel to a receive pipeline that includes a second receiver module and other modules. The data chunks are then stored in a backup medium. The chunks are later retrieved and separated such as by demultiplexing for restoring to a client or for further storage as auxiliary copies of the separated data streams or archive files.
