Patent CA-2486594-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HASHEM GHAZI
IPC: C23C16/44
Filed: 2003-06-03
Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for providing an expandable threaded connection between segments of expandable tubulars is disclosed. Threaded connections are machined into pre-expanded ends (10, 20) of tubulars. Once the threaded connections are machined into the pre-expanded ends (10, 20), two joints (1) of tubulars are connected using the threads, thus creating a pre-expanded threaded connection. After a tubular string is made up and lowered into a wellbore, the entire length of the string is expanded using known methods for expanding tubulars. During the downhole expansion operation, the pre-expanded threaded connections experience minimal expansion. The minimal downhole expansion of the pre-expanded threaded connections allows the threaded connections to maintain their sealing ability and coupling strength.

Abstract: Low-speed electric motor of lightweight construction with rotor diameter greater than 500mm, its width of a few cm, without a gearbox, with starting torque being of an order 100Nm, it makes use of the principle of Coulomb forces. The dimensional arrangement of both the rotor and stator even at high level of torques eliminates flip - flop effect, which is typical for conventional step motors. Rotor consists of rotor disks (10) with a fixing ring (7). The carrier (1) of the permanent magnets (2) is attached to the fixing ring (7). The rotor is linked with fixing hub (14) by means of ball bearings (13) whose bearing bushings (12) are mounted with the rotor disks (10). The stator disk (11) is attached to the fixing hub (14). The segment in the shape of circular section made from soft magnetic material (3), which the coils are slid on, is accommodated in the spokes (8) fixed by the shank (9) to the stator disk (11). Relative position of every coil (4) relative to the permanent magnet (2) is monitored by the position indicator (5). The stator segments (3), which the coils (4) are placed on, making up the poles of the motor, are compensated and they are neutral from the point of view of forces F Fe with the resultants of these forces (17), that are created by a coincidence of the permanent magnets of the rotor (2) and the segment of the stator (3) made from soft magnetic material and simultaneously compensated by zero resultant intensity of the magnetic flux .SIGMA.H = 0 on the poles (15) of the segments (3) relative to the permanent magnets of the rotor (2) in all motor control modes for the reason of gradual connecting the stator coils (4) to the voltage and thanks to it no parasite forces (18) are produced bringing about the flip-flop effect and vibrations because the design engineering arrangement satisfies simultaneously the following interrelations: 1. The number and design engineering arrangement of the permanent magnets of the rotor (2) 2. The number and design engineering arrangement of the stator segments made from soft magnetic material (3) 3. The number of the motor phases 4. The number and position of stator coils (4) that make up the poles of the motor installed on every segment (3) depending on the number of motor phases.

Title: Predictive lossless coding of images and video
Inventor: MUKERJEE KUNAL
IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 2005-04-12
Abstract: Predictive lossless coding provides effective lossless image compression of both photographic and graphics content in image and video media. Predictive lossless coding can operate on a macroblock basis for compatibility with existing image and video codecs. Predictive lossless coding chooses and applies one of multiple available differential pulse-code modulation (DPCM) modes to individual macro-blocks to produce DPCM residuals having a closer to optimal distribution for run-length, Golomb Rice RLGR entropy encoding. This permits effective lossless entropy encoding despite the differing characteristics of photographic and graphics image content.

Title: Soft handoff of a cdma reverse link
Inventor: PROCTOR JAMES A JR
IPC: H04J13/00
Filed: 2003-11-20
Abstract: Method and apparatus for base stations (218) and subscriber units (213) allows soft handoff of a CDMA reverse link utilizing an orthogonal channel structure.  Subscriber units transmit an orthogonally coded signal over a reverse link to the base stations. A given base station provides timing control (510) of the timing offset of the reverse link signal. Based on at least one criterion, an alignment controller (515) determines that the given base station should hand off timing control to another base station, and a soft handoff process ensues.  In response to a command or message for soft handoff of the subscriber unit from the given base station to another base station, the subscriber unit makes a coarse timing adjustment to the timing of the coded signal. The subscriber unit may make fine timing adjustments based on feedback from the base station controlling timing. Multiple base stations may provide power control feedback to the subscriber unit.

Title: Method and device for hot-dip coating a metal strand
Inventor: TRAKOWSKI WALTER
IPC: C23C2/24
Filed: 2003-11-15
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for hot-dip coating a metal strand (1), especially a steel strip, according to which the metal strand (1) is vertically guided through a container (3) accommodating the molten coating metal (2) and through a guide channel (4) disposed upstream thereof. An electromagnetic field is generated in the area of the guide channel (4) by means of at least two inductors (5) disposed at both sides of the metal strand (1) to retain the coating material (2) in the container (3). In order to stabilize the metal strand (1) in a center position in the guide channel (4), an electromagnetic field, superimposing the electromagnetic field of the inductors (5), is generated by means of at least two additional coils (6) disposed at both sides of the metal strand (1). In order to improve efficiency of the control of the metal strand in the guide channel, the center position of the metal strand (1) in the guide channel (4) is stabilized in a closed control loop by carrying out the following steps: a) detecting the position (s, s', s'') of the metal strand (1) in the guide channel (4); b) measuring the induced current (IInd) in the inductors (5); c) measuring the induced current (ICorr) in the additional coils (6); d) influencing the induced current (ICorr) in the additional coils (6) depending on the parameters (s, IInd, ICorr) measured in steps a) to c), in order to maintain the metal strand (1) in a center position in the guide channel (4). The invention further relates to a device for hot-dip coating a metal strand.
