Title: Deep deployment system for electric submersible pumps
Inventor: SCOTT BRIAN
IPC: E21B43/12
Filed: 2013-04-17
Abstract: A system for deep deployment of electric submersible pumps is described. In an implementation, an electric submersible pump (ESP) power cable 100 has a strength member 102 that enables the ESP power cable to support itself when lowered deep into a well inside a coiled tubing 104. The self-supporting ESP power cable frees the coiled tubing from having to carry the weight of the ESP power cable, thereby permitting longer runs of coiled tubing to be suspended into the well. The ESP power cable and the coiled tubing can be anchored independently to a wellhead, and a computing device can monitor the weight loads on the ESP power cable and on the coiled tubing.

Title: Spanning tree protocol
Inventor: ELDER ALAN
IPC: H04L45/28
Filed: 2014-03-31
Abstract: The invention proposes a spanning tree protocol system which enters a defer mode during which the spanning tree calculation process is postponed. Whilst recalculation is suspended multiple triggers (e.g. topology change events in BPDUs) may be fed in to the spanning tree process ready for the next calculation. The end of the defer mode may be signalled by placing a reschedule action in the trigger work queue. The invention may utilise a process where tokens are periodically accumulated, up to a maximum, and each spanning tree recalculation spends one token. Thus allowing a flurry of recalculation following extended quiet period before the defer mode is initiated. Arrival of a new token would thence terminate the defer mode. The invention avoid overloading the bridges processors with streams of tree calculation jobs.

IPC: B60T17/04
Filed: 2015-03-23
Abstract: A trapped key safety interlock device is used with a coupling 102 that comprises a body provided with a face seal, a rim on one side and a projecting spur on the diametrically opposite side. The safety device includes a coupling part 201, complimentary to the coupling 102 and which comprises a body portion having a rim portion 207 on one side for engagement with the spur of the coupling 102 and having a spur portion 206 for engagement with the rim of the coupling 102. The rim portion accommodates a release mechanism (16, 18, fig 8) for selectively enabling and disabling a key retention mechanism within the device. The key retention mechanism has a key retention condition and a key releasable condition, wherein the release mechanism comprises a primary release mechanism (16, fig 8) and a secondary latching mechanism (18, fig 8) resisting movement of the primary release mechanism until it is actuated itself. This can prevent a vehicle releasably attached to a loading bay by the safety interlock device from being driven away from the loading bay until released using the safety interlock's release procedure.

Title: Cleaning appliance
Inventor: THOMAS JAMES DUNNING FOLLOWS
IPC: A61C17/36
Filed: 2015-05-15
Abstract: A dental cleaning appliance such as an electric toothbrush with a nozzle 36 for delivering a series of bursts of working fluid to the teeth of a user includes a fluid delivery system which is moveable relative to a handle as the appliance is moved along the teeth of the user. A sensor 250 such as a Hall effect sensor mounted in the handle detects movement of a magnet 252 connected to a support 240 which moves with the nozzle 36 and provides an output which varies with movement relative to the handle. A control circuit detects movement of the nozzle 36 entering an interproximal gap and actuates the delivery of a series of bursts of working fluid , to dislodge matter therein, depending on the rate of change of output from the sensor. The fluid may be pumped from a refillable reservoir surrounding the stem into an accumulator which has a solenoid valve controlling the bursts fluid to the nozzle based upon the sensor output.
