Title: Dew point and carry-over monitoring
Inventor: PABLO MATIAS DUPUY
IPC: G01N33/22
Filed: 2016-03-16
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for automatically monitoring the liquid content in a gas, and in particular the gas leaving a scrubber and entering a compressor. In the method, a sample of fluid is taken from the outlet of the compressor, its temperature and pressure are automatically varied, and the pressure and temperature at which condensation forms is automatically detected. The pressure and temperature thus detected can be used to determine the liquid content in the gas. In a variant method, the temperature and pressure of the sample are automatically varied, and the rate of liquid condensation is measured to determine the liquid content. The invention also extends to a device for cooling a gas so that the liquid content of the gas can be determined, including a cooled housing with a cavity therein, and means for measuring the temperature and pressure within the cavity.

Title: A method for injectivity profiling of injection wells
Inventor: ARTUR MIKHAILOVICH ASLANIAN
IPC: E21B47/103
Filed: 2017-09-12
Abstract: This invention relates to the oil and gas production industry and can be used in geophysical surveys of horizontal and deviated (including vertical) wells for their injectivity profiling and assessment of total fluid loss into the lower zone of a target interval, inaccessible for survey, and below the bottom hole. As distinguished from direct injection profiling methods applied to perforated intervals, the proposed technology can be used in the presence of both behind-casing and wellbore cross- flows. This method for injectivity profiling of injection wells includes the following stages: formation of a heat pulse in reservoir formations by the injection of fluid of temperature tp, different from the background injection temperature Tb in a reservoir formation region over time tp; shutting in a well for time ts that is sufficient to differentiate temperature perturbations depending on the specific volume of fluid injected into a reservoir formation; temperature measurement of the residual pulse Ts(z) resulting from temperature stabilisation; the resulting temperature data are processed to determine the injectivity profile per reservoir unit q(z) using a thermohydrodynamic simulator that provides accurate modelling or using the following simplified formula (I) where λ - is the thermal conductivity of a reservoir formation, с f - volumetric specific heat capacity of fluid.

Title: A system for facilitating payments
Inventor: PHILIP BELAMANT
IPC: G06Q30/02
Filed: 2019-10-28
Abstract: In a system for facilitating an online transaction, a customer initiates the transaction at an online address such as a web address (URL) or session ID conveyed by a cookie. An authorisation gateway, such as 3D Secure, receives the online address and transmits it to a card issuer. The card issuer also receives a unique identification factor as part of a payment token. Based on the received online address, unique identification factor and a rule set, the card issuer decides whether to allow or deny the transaction or to require a further confirmation step, such as displaying a notification to the customer. The payment token may be a virtual payment card whose primary account number (PAN), expiry date and card verification value (CVV) encode an account identifier 404, session ID 405 and signature 406. The system may thereby reliably track the URL or session ID by which a customer reached a merchant’s website. Also claimed is an online transaction method wherein, at checkout, customers must enter their card number (PAN), expiry date and card verification value (CVV). The transaction is authorised through an acquirer’s system or merchant payment gateway. An authorisation gateway is activated to identify and validate the customer.

Filed: 2018-09-29
Abstract: A TV wall mounting device includes a wall mount box with vertical supports, a display mount receiving a TV, and an extending/contracting portion between the box and the display mount. The extending/contracting portion has lower and upper arms rotatably attached to the wall mount with rear axles, a pair of linear actuators rotatably attached to the wall mount, a front portion that rises and lowers with action of the actuators, and a horizontally-swiveling portion that is raised and lowered with the front portion and is capable of rotating right-left with respect to the front portion. The display mount is attached to the horizontally-swiveling portion.
