Title: Method for measuring and controlling the flow of natural gas from gas wells
Inventor: OCONDI CHAM
IPC: E21B47/00
Filed: 1999-02-25
Abstract: This method serves as both a raw data logger (36) for well operation analysis and a well event logger for well performance analysis.  An improved methodology of remote event and process variable logging and data retention designed specifically to address the needs of intermittently flowing gas wells is useful for eliminating gas slippage associated with intermittent or erratic gas flow conditions, eliminating measurement errors, and lowering operating costs. The well data (1.1, 34) can be scanned in seconds for its current flow situation, and as a set of specific conditions are met, a built-in control program reacts to those conditions by shutting down the well until certain pressure criteria are met to allow the well to flow again. To maintain measurement integrity, precise event logging (1.2) of the valve positions to indicate the actual flowing period are included in the flow integration.

Title: Apparatus and method for conductivity measurement including probe contamination compensation
Inventor: CHAN WAI YIN CEDRIC
IPC: G01N27/06
Filed: 1999-05-07
Abstract: A conductivity measurement system provides one or more DC pulses to first and second electrodes submerged in an aqueous solution such as, for instance, the wash water of an industrial dishwasher. The voltage at the first electrode is measured at first and second predetermined times after initiation of DC pulse(s). Linear regression of the first and second measured voltages is used to calculate the voltage at the first electrode at the beginning of the DC pulse(s), i.e., at time t=0. The resulting voltage at time t=0 is then used to calculate the conductivity of the solution, thereby compensating for the effects of polarization. Further, the difference between the respective first and second measured voltages is compared to a predetermined threshold value to determine whether the electrodes are so contaminated that polarization compensation is no longer feasible, thereby signaling that the electrodes should be cleaned or replaced.

Patent CA-2331351-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SALEMME FRANCIS R
IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 1999-05-07
Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for representing precise or imprecise measurements of similarity/dissimilarity (relationships) between objects as distances between points in a multi-dimensional space that represents the objects. Self-organizing principles are used to iteratively refine an initial (random or partially ordered) configuration of points using stochastic relationship/distance errors. The data can be complete or incomplete (i.e. some relationships between objects may not be known), exact or inexact (i.e. some or all of the relationships may be given in terms of allowed ranges or limits), symmetric or asymmetric (i.e. the relationship of object A to object B may not be the same as the relationship of B to A) and may contain systematic or stochastic errors. The relationships between objects may be derived directly from observation, measurement, a priori knowledge, or intuition, or may be determined indirectly using any suitable technique for deriving proximity (relationship) data. The present invention iteratively analyzes sub-sets of objects in order to represent them in a multi-dimensional space that represent the objects. In an exemplary embodiment, the present invention iteratively analyzes sub-sets of objects using conventional multidimensional scaling or non-linear mapping algorithms. In another exemplary embodiment, relationships are defined as pair-wise relationships or pair-wise similarities/dissimilarities between pairs of objects and the present invention iteratively analyzes a pair of objects at a time. Preferably, subsets are evaluated pair-wise, as a double-nested loop.

Title: Retaining a data communication while responding to a paging notification
Inventor: FRID LARS ANDERS
IPC: H04M3/428
Filed: 1999-07-02
Abstract: A method and system enables a packet-switched data communication in a wireless communications system to be quickly and easily reestablished after interruption. The computer communications protocol that has been negotiated during the establishment of the packet-switched data communication may be saved upon interruption and later restored. In an exemplary embodiment, a wireless subscriber activates a call-waiting-type service along with an option to retain a packet-switched data communication.  Thereafter, the subscriber may be engaged in a data communication on a packet data channel of the wireless communications system. Acceptance of a subsequent incoming, circuit-switched voice call causes the data packet session to be suspended, but the negotiated parameters of the computer communications protocol are saved. After the subscriber terminates the voice call, another data packet session is established with the saved parameters without needing to renegotiate the computer communications protocol parameters.  Packet data applications that have not timed-out may resume execution without reinitialization.

Title: Epoxidation process with zeolite catalysts
Inventor: GREY ROGER A
IPC: C07D303/04
Filed: 1999-09-21
Abstract: The selectivity of an olefin epoxidation process catalyzed by a titanium-containing zeolite is improved by performing the epoxidation in the presence of a non-ionic tertiary amine or tertiary amine oxide additive. For example, when hydrogen peroxide is reacted with propylene in the presence of TS-1 titanium silicalite to form propylene oxide, non-selective ring-opening reactions of the propylene oxide are suppressed when low concentrations of 2,6-lutidine or other substituted pyridines are added to the hydrogen peroxide feed.

Title: Variable speed fan motor control for forced air heating/cooling system
Inventor: BOWMAN WALTER WILLIAM
IPC: F24F11/76
Filed: 2001-05-08
Abstract: A fan motor speed control system for controlling the fan motor speed of an air conditioning system includes a power output circuit including a power triac which is turned on and off by an opto-isolator connected to a pulse generator circuit for varying an AC voltage waveform imposed on the fan motor. The pulse generator circuit is connected to heating and cooling ramp circuits and a minimum speed circuit to provide a variable voltage signal imposed on the pulse generator circuit corresponding to the temperature difference sensed by a return air sensor and a heating or cooling sensor or by separate heating and cooling sensors disposed adjacent respective heating and cooling heat exchangers of the air conditioning system. An adjustable minimum speed circuit and a cutoff circuit are provided to control motor minimum speed or motor shutoff when a predetermined minimum speed is reached to prevent motor bearing failure or overheating. Sensor protection circuits in the control system operate to drive the motor to full speed if any of the temperature sensors experience an open or short circuit condition. The control system circuit maximizes air conditioning system efficiency by capturing additional heating or  cooling effect, reduces noise associated with motor startup and shutdown, and reduces rapid change in the sensed temperature in the air conditioned space during motor startup and shutdown.

Abstract: Selon l'invention, un amidon manifeste des propriétés d'épaississement par cisaillement. Cet amidon est de type prégélatinisé et gonflant à l'eau froide; il se présente comme un amidon fortement réticulé et stabilisé qui a subi un traitement thermique pour devenir gonflant à l'eau froide tout en gardant intactes la plupart des granules d'amidon. Le processus permet d'obtenir de l'amidon fortement réticulé. On chauffe ensuite l'amidon pendant une période et dans des conditions de température et d'humidité efficaces pour désagréger moins de 50 % des granules d'amidon intactes qui font partie de cet amidon et pour lui conférer la caractéristique suivante: lorsqu'une suspension de l'amidon de l'invention est soumise au cisaillement moyen à intense, la viscosité de l'amidon tend vers une valeur maximale.
