Title: An electrosurgical instrument and electrode assembly
Inventor: GOBLE NIGEL MARK
IPC: A61B18/12
Filed: 1996-04-15
Abstract: An electrosurgical instrument for treating tissue with RF energy in the presence of an electrically conductive fluid, comprises an instrument shaft 10 connectable to a handpiece and an electrode assembly 12 at the end of the shaft. The electrode assembly 12 comprises a tissue contact electrode 14 and a return electrode 18 which is spaced from and electrically insulated from the tissue contact electrode by means of an insulation member 16. The tissue contact electrode 14 is exposed at the extreme distal end 14a of the instrument and has a part-spherical surface. The distal end 14a may be axially extendable to a position spaced from the insulation member thus enlarging the electric field pattern for tissue dessication rather than tissue vaporisation.

Title: Synchronisation in a wellbore communication system
Inventor: OWENS STEVEN CRATUS
IPC: E21B47/18
Filed: 1994-08-18
Abstract: To synchronise the clock generators at each end of an acoustic wellbore communication system, a first synch signal is sent in a first direction and in response a second synch signal is returned, allowing fine correction. After completion of lowering, a downhole acoustic transducer DAT, begins to send a series of chirp signals through the borehole transmission medium e.g. the drilling fluid. Between chirps the DAT listens for tone signals from the surface acoustic transducer SAT. When the SAT receives the chirps, it synchronises its clock to the incoming signal and characterises the channel by analysing subsequent chirps, as in GB2281424 A. Having identified a utilisable frequency band, the SAT transmits a pair of tone signals to the DAT which uses the received signals to refine its synchronisation. Data interchange then can begin.

Abstract: A rotary drill bit suitable for drilling holes in subsurface formations comprises a bit body having a leading face (96) and a gauge region, and a number of blades (98) formed on the leading face (96) of the bit and extending outwardly away from the bit axis (60, fig. 2) so as to define fluid channels between the blades (98) leading towards junk slots in the gauge region. Cutting elements (103) are mounted along each blade (98), and nozzles (104) in the bit body supply drilling fluid to the leading face (96) of the bit for cleaning and cooling the cutting elements (103). At least some of the blades (98) each have a leading edge which is non-linear, as viewed axially of the bit and as it extends outwardly from the axis of the bit. The drill bit may include, in addition to the non-linear blades (98), blades which are substantially straight as viewed axially of the bit, and/or which are substantially smoothly and continuously curved as viewed axially of the bit. These additional smoothly and continuously curved blades may be convex or concave in the normal direction of rotation of the bit during drilling.

Title: Method and device for facilitating the insertion of a coiled tube into a well and for loosening stuck objects in a well
Inventor: BAKKE STIG
IPC: E21B23/04
Filed: 1997-06-06
Abstract: Method for overcoming friction between a coiled tube and the wall of a well by an oil- or gas well, and for enabling application of impact energy to loosen stuck objects in a well. Pressure changes are applied to a liquid flowing in the coiled tube by periodically shutting off the liquid flow at or near the outlet of the coiled tube. Pressure changes, pressure strokes, are applied by means of a valve device comprising a valve body (31) arranged to seal against a valve seat (45) and to shut off the liquid flow whenever the flow rate exceeds a predetermined value, and to remain shut until the pressure in the liquid upstream of the valve body (31) is lower than a predetermined value, and that the valve body (31) has a slide (3) arranged thereto, which is arranged to open for a liquid flow past the valve body (31), to reduce, thereby, the pressure in the liquid upstream of the valve body (31) whenever the pressure in the liquid upstream of the valve body (31) exceeds a predetermined value. A damping device in which pistons in the form of collars (25, 26), channels (27, 28) and check valves (29, 30) are moved in annular spaces (17,18, 19) filled with liquid, contributes to the valve device bring closed long enough for a pressure rise to spread in the liquid in the coiled tube, and being open long enough for full liquid flow to be established before the next shut-off.

Title: Method of forming a buried plate of a trench capacitor
Inventor: WENSLEY PAUL
IPC: H01L21/8242
Filed: 1998-11-26
Abstract: A trench 104 is etched in a silicon wafer 100 and an arsenic doped glass layer 106 is formed in the trench. A second layer 108 of undoped glass is then deposited on the layer 106. After filling the trench with photoresist and partially removing the photoresist, the unprotected portions of the layers 106,108 are wet etched. The remaining photoresist is then removed and the device is annealed to out-diffuse arsenic from the layer 106 thereby forming an arsenic doped region 114 which constitutes a buried plate of the capacitor. The layers 106,108 are then etched away using hydrofluoric acid.

Patent GB-2337826-A (GB)
Title: Semiconductor patterning method
Inventor: ITO KATSUYUKI
IPC: G03F7/11
Filed: 1999-05-25
Abstract: In a semiconductor device fabricating process, a chemical amplification resist layer (5) is formed on an insulating film (4) formed on a semiconductor substrate (1). The chemical amplification resist layer is patterned to form an opening (6). The insulating film (4) formed on the semiconductor substrate is wet-etched using the patterned chemical amplification resist layer (5) as a mask. Before the wet-etching is carried out, the patterned chemical amplification resist layer is surface treated to form an insoluble layer (7) on the surfaces of the patterned chemical amplification resist layer, thereby to give a wet-etching-resistance to the patterned chemical amplification resist layer. Thus, deformation of a resist pattern formed on the patterned chemical amplification resist layer is prevented during the wet etching process. An opening pattern (6) of a desired shape can readily be formed in the insulating films (4).
