Patent CA-2518240-A1 (CA)
Title: Multi-scale finite-volume method for use in subsurface flow simulation
Inventor: LEE SEONG
IPC: G06G/
Filed: 2004-03-05
Abstract: A multi-scale finite-volume (MSFV) method to solve elliptic problems with a plurality of spatial scales arising from single or multi-phase flows in porous media is provided. Two sets of locally computed basis functions are employed.  A first set of basis functions captures the small-scale heterogeneity of the underlying permeability field, and it is computed to construct the effective coarse-scale transmissibilities. A second set of bases functions is required to construct a conservative fine-scale velocity field. The method efficiently captures the effects of small scales on a coarse grid, is conservative, and treats tensor permeabilities correctly. The underlying idea is to construct transmissibilities that capture the local properties of a differential operator. This leads to a multi-point discretization scheme for a finite-volume solution algorithm. Transmissibilities for the MSFV method are preferably constructed only once as a preprocessing step and can be computed locally. Therefore, this step is well suited for massively parallel computers.  Furthermore, a conservative fine-scale velocity field can be constructed from a coarse-scale pressure solution which also satisfies the proper mass balance on the fine scale. A transport problem is ideally solved iteractively in two stages. In the first stage, a fine scale velocity field is obtained from solving a pressure equation. In the second stage, the transport problem is solved on the fine cells using the fine-scale velocity field. A solution may be computed on the coarse cells at an incremental time and properties, such as a mobility coefficient, may be generated for the fine cells at the incremental time. If a predetermined condition is not met for all fine cells inside a dual coarse control volume, then the dual and fine scale basis functions in that dual coarse control volume are reconstructed.

Patent CA-2519332-A1 (CA)
Title: System and method for dynamic mirror-bank addressing
Inventor: POTTER KENNETH H JR
IPC: G06F12/00
Filed: 2004-02-26
Abstract: A dynamic addressing technique mirrors data across multiple banks of a memory resource. Information stored in the memory banks is organized into separately addressable blocks, and memory addresses include a mirror flag. To write information mirrored across two memory banks, a processor issues a single write transaction with the mirror flag asserted. A memory controller detects that the mirror flag is asserted and, in response, waits for both memory banks to become available. At that point, the memory controller causes the write to be performed at both banks. To read data that has been mirrored across two memory banks, the processor issues a read with the mirror flag asserted. The memory controller checks the availability of both banks having the desired information. If either bank is available, the read request is accepted and the desired data is retrieved from the available bank and returned to the processor.

Abstract: A fuel system for an energy conversion device includes a deoxygenator system with an oxygen permeable membrane having a textured surface. A sweep gas and/or vacuum maintains an oxygen concentration differential across the membrane to deoxygenate the fuel. The textured surface increases the surface area of the oxygen permeable membrane. The textured surface of the oxygen permeable membrane is fabricated by pressing the textured surface into the oxygen permeable membrane with a microreplication-based tooling system. Another fabrication method presses the textured surface into a sacrificial film and the oxygen permeable membrane is then formed upon the sacrificial film to transfer the textured surface to the oxygen permeable membrane and the sacrificial film is then subsequently removed. Another fabrication method applies additional material to the oxygen permeable membrane through a porous sacrificial film.

Title: Disposable absorbent article having a visibly highlighted wetness sensation member
Inventor: DAVIS MARY ELIZABETH
IPC: A61F13/42
Filed: 2004-10-29
Abstract: A disposable absorbent article including a wetness sensation member and visible highlighting indicating the presence of the wetness sensation member to facilitate an opportunity for the toilet training of the wearer. The wetness sensation member includes a permeable layer and a flow control layer.  Urine deposited on the wetness sensation member can penetrate through the permeable body-facing layer in a z direction away from the wearer to the flow control layer. The flow control layer retards the passage of the urine through the wetness sensation member in the z direction while supporting the movement of the urine in an x-y plane to increase the wetted area contacting the wearer's skin and thereby enhance the wearer's awareness that urination has occurred. The visible highlighting is visible when viewing a body-facing surface of the article and may be associatively correlated with an externally visible marking and/or with the concept of toilet training.
