Title: Method of wellbore isolation with cutting and pulling a string in a single trip
Inventor: JONATHAN F NELSON
IPC: E21B33/12
Filed: 2018-01-29
Abstract: A one trip bottom hole assembly allows setting and testing a plug and release from the plug. Cement can be pumped onto the plug, after the BHA is raised, to an extent to meet local regulatory requirements. The cutter spear combination can be activated with pressure built on a second dropped ball larger than the first ball to release the blades for extension with fluid circulation. The circulation path through the spear is opened using pipe manipulation during the spear setting sequence. The cuttings from severing the tubular fall onto the cement. The spear is set with string manipulation as the drill string rotates the blades while maintaining the string under tension. The spear can be released and repositioned for the top of the string to facilitate removal and disassembly at the surface. All the above described operations are accomplished with a single trip into the hole.

Title: Resource element offsetting in a telecommunication system
Inventor: Yinan Qi
IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 2018-11-22
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of subcarrier index mapping for application to Phase Tracking Reference Signal, PTRS, within a Resource Block, RB, in a telecommunication system, wherein a particular subcarrier index to which PTRS is mapped is determined on the basis of a UE-specific ID such as its Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI). Mapping in this way avoids interference between cells which would occur if the PTRS in each cell was mapped to the same subcarrier. The mapping may be defined in terms of an offset from a certain position. Also disclosed is the mapping of the PTRS to the lowest subcarriers of DMRS ports associated with the port of the PTRS (fig.4)

Inhibitor may be discharged, in an amount proportional to the water charge, through a shut-off valve 37 to an inhibitor passage in connection with the through-passage. The injection of inhibitor may be driven by pressure difference induced by a venturi 33 downstream of the valve, wherein inhibitor is delivered to the charge at the throat of the venturi. There may be a vent 48 in the canister to maintain atmospheric pressure, or the canister may be sealed and pressurised to an upstream pressure via a conduit (50, fig. 7.1) upstream of the venturi. The canister may also be pressurised by a compressed gas cylinder and the shut-off valve may open in response to actuation of the valve.
