Abstract: L'invention concerne une coulisse hydraulique pour un ensemble de forage. Dans certains modes de réalisation, la coulisse hydraulique comprend un logement tubulaire, un mandrin disposé dans le logement, un espace annulaire entre le mandrin et le logement, et un mécanisme de détente de pression disposé dans l'espace annulaire. Le mécanisme de détente de pression divise généralement l'espace annulaire en des première et seconde portions. Le mécanisme de détente de pression comprend des premier et second organes annulaires en prise l'un avec l'autre lorsque la pression dans la seconde portion d'espace annulaire est inférieure à une valeur prédéterminée et à un trajet d'écoulement de fluide entre les première et seconde portions d'espace annulaire. Le trajet d'écoulement de fluide a une première taille lorsque la pression dans la seconde portion d'espace annulaire est inférieure à la valeur prédéterminée, et une seconde taille qui est plus grande que la première taille lorsque la pression dans la seconde portion d'espace annulaire devient supérieure ou égale à la valeur prédéterminée.

Abstract: A packer for a well is described. The packer comprises a seal element (12) and seal setting apparatus (14). The seal setting apparatus is moveable with respect to the seal element in a setting direction (X) to apply a setting force to the seal element to move the seal element from a run-in configuration to a set configuration in which, in use, the seal element forms a contact seal with a conduit wall. In use, the packer is arranged such that, in the set configuration, a pressure differential across the packer, which creates a force in the setting direction (X), will increase the setting force applied by the seal setting apparatus to the seal element to maintain the seal.

Abstract: An FFT algorithm that splits a large bit width waveform into two parts, making it possible to conduct the FFT with much lower logic resource consumption is disclosed. The waveform is split into its most significant bits and its least significant bits through division in the form of a bit shift. Each partial signal is then put through an FFT algorithm. The MSB FFT output is then right bit shifted. The two partial FFT's are summed to create a single output that is largely equivalent to an FFT of the original waveform. Rounding distortion is reduced by overlapping the MSB and LSB partial signals.
