Title: Well planning and design
Inventor: JALALI YOUNES
IPC: E21B41/00
Filed: 2001-09-20
Abstract: A system having a controller is used to design a completion system for a well selected on information, e.g. a model of the well, stored in a storage module. The controller also performs an operation phase which includes storing a model of the completion system in the storage module. The settings of the completion system based on the model may be updated and the model may be used to compare against operation of the completion system. The controller can update the model if operation of the completion system indicates that one set point of the model is not achievable and it can receive measured data pertaining to operation of the well.

Title: A balancing signal channel with bit inversions to prevent DC drift
Inventor: NEAVES PHILIP
IPC: H04L25/02
Filed: 2003-05-20
Abstract: A circuit comprising a clock signal channel (CLK) and several capacitively coupled data lines (D0-D7) uses an additional balancing signal channel (8) to track forced bit inversions which are inserted into the data after a number of continuous ones or zeroes in order to prevent long transitionless strings causing DC drift. A window comprising 8 bit lengths is monitored for each data channel and if no transitions occur then the next bit is inverted and a corresponding bit in the DC balance signal (DBAL, fig. 2) is inverted. The window is staggered by one bit for each successive data channel so that the balance signal identifies the channel for which a bit inversion has been forced, allowing recovery of the original data signal. The balance signal may itself contain a forced inversion every 8 bits to prevent long zero strings in it, and multiple balance channels can be used for bigger and faster circuits. The system allows a greater bandwidth than Manchester coding, does not require non-information carrying data bits like bit-stuffing methods, and can be carried out easily using System in Package (SiP) technology.

Title: Micro-alloying of metals for use as coating materials
Inventor: CLARK DANIEL
IPC: C23C14/16
Filed: 2004-09-18
Abstract: In order to achieve micro alloying of protective coatings for components such as turbine blades in a turbine engine, a base metal is sputter coated with a trace element to a desired proportion. The base metal is typically in the form of a particulate powder 1 such that through laser deposition techniques the coating can be formed in the melting process, whereby micro alloying of the trace element with the base metal occurs to achieve the protective coating required. A coating consumable is therefore formed from the base alloy and trace element. The consumable may be produced immediately prior to coating of the component or be produced and inertly stored for subsequent use. Typical trace elements include hafnium, yttrium and lanthanum.

Title: Electro-luminescence display device and driving method to cancel kickback
Inventor: OH DU HWAN
IPC: H05B44/00
Filed: 2005-06-29
Abstract: An electro-luminescence display device includes a plurality of column lines (DL), a plurality of first row lines (SL11, SL12) and a plurality of second row lines (SL21, SL22). The plurality of first row lines (SL11, SL12) cross the column lines (DL) and a first scan signal is supplied thereto. The plurality of second row lines (SL21, SL22) intersects the column lines (DL) and a second scan signal is supplied thereto. Organic light emitting devices are formed at pixel areas which are defined by the column lines (DL) and the first and second row lines (SL). At least two drive switches (S/W1, S/W2) (see fig 6A) operate to drive the organic light emitting devices. The second scan signal applies later than the first scan signal to activate the drive switches (S/W1, S/W2). A kickback voltage is generated upon a voltage change of the first row line (SL1). A kickback compensation circuit operates to cancel the kickback voltage. Hidden parasitic capacitance causes the kickback voltage which results in non-uniformity in picture quality. The present invention cancels the kickback voltage and provides a display with improved picture quality.

Title: Radio communications apparatus
Inventor: KOGA TETSUJI
IPC: H04M1/73
Filed: 2004-05-17
Abstract: The invention reduces the power consumption of a handset in the no service area and automatically returns the handset to regular operation in case the radio communications apparatus is being recharged, thereby preventing the handset from being left inactive. The inventive handset comprises a no service area detector which detects that the handset has moved outside the coverage of the base unit, and automatically makes a transition to the power saving mode where the base unit is not searched for in case the handset has moved outside the coverage of the base unit. When it is determined that the handset is being recharged in the power saving mode, the handset switches to the regular mode. In case the handset is powered off when the charging determination unit has determined that charging is under way, the handset automatically performs power-on processing.
