Title: Dry additive metering into portable blender tub
Inventor: WEINSTEIN JEREMY L
IPC: E21B43/267
Filed: 2008-04-08
Abstract: Oil wells may be fracture treated on-site in order to stimulate production. Such fracture treatment may be performed using a portable blender tub to mix fracturing fluid, proppant, and dry chemical additive into an injection slurry. A mechanical conveyance device may be adjustably attached to the portable blender tub, so that in its first position it is stowed for transport, while in its second position it is deployed for operation. When deployed, the mechanical conveyance device may mechanically convey and meter dry chemical additive into the blender tub, allowing a handler to feed and meter dry chemical additive while standing on the ground. This allows for improved safety and efficiency in fracture treating a wellbore.

Title: Method and apparatus for efficient precoding information validation for mimo communications
Inventor: PAN KYLE JUNG-LIN
IPC: H04L1/00
Filed: 2008-04-21
Abstract: A method and apparatus for efficient precoding matrix verification in a multiple-input multiple-output MIMO wireless communication system are disclosed. A wireless transmit/receive unit WTRU sends a precoding matrix index PMI to an eNodeB. The eNodeB sends a verification message including a PMI indicator indicating whether or not the PMI of the WTRU and a PMI of the eNodeB are identical. If the PMI of the WTRU and of the eNodeB are identical, the eNodeB sends just a PMI indicator otherwise the eNodeB sends to the WTRU a PMI indicator and the PMI of the eNodeB. A plurality of PMIs may be sent simultaneously, and the PMIs may be partitioned into a plurality of groups. The PMI indicator may be either attached to or inserted into control signaling. PMI validation messages can be signaled to WTRU by control signaling or use of a dedicated reference signal.

Patent CA-2701481-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HARMON JAMES V SR
IPC: F01K23/14
Filed: 2010-04-27
Abstract: A high efficiency combined cycle internal combustion and steam engine includes a cylinder having a piston mounted for reciprocation therein with an internal combustion chamber outward of the piston, a fixed cylinder cap sealingly and slideably mounted within the piston and a steam expansion/recompression chamber inside the piston adjacent the cylinder cap. The cylinder cap can be unheated or heated externally to reduce condensation of steam entering the steam chamber from a steam generator fired by waste combustion heat. Steam remaining in the cylinder when a steam exhaust valve closes at the top center position is recompressed during an inward stroke of the piston up to admission pressure prior to admitting the next charge of steam. One valve or a pair of retractable steam inlet valves connected in series within the cylinder cap act in cooperation with steam recompression and clearance volume to achieve an effective zero steam chamber clearance and a gain in mean Rankine cycle temperature to maximize efficiency. The amount of steam admitted each outward stroke is continuously regulated, e.g. by shifting the phase of one steam admission valve of a pair to vary their overlap for determining the steam mass admitted during each cycle to reduce specific fuel consumption. Other valves balance steam displacement with the steam generator output to use steam more efficiently. Engine coolant can be evaporated in a combustion chamber cooling jacket to form steam which is then superheated in a combustion exhaust manifold.
