Title: Fast data eye retraining for a memory
Inventor: SCHAEFER ANDRE
IPC: G06F13/16
Filed: 2010-06-30
Abstract: A valid data eye for a memory comprising a leading edge and trailing edge is determined 500. Periodically the leading and trailing edges are checked for movement 502 during operation of the memory. In an alternative embodiment the leading and trailing edges are checked for movement upon occurrence of an event such as a temperature event, a power consumption event or data throughput surpassing a predetermined rate. When movement is detected 504, the leading edge and trailing edge of the valid data eye are updated by retraining 506. An interconnect may be coupled to the memory and may comprise a plurality of data lanes wherein checking and retraining are performed either individually per lane or retraining all lanes in response to a detection of movement in one. The retraining may examine timing locations earlier or later than the existing edge locations incrementally to determine the updated valid data eye.

Title: Apparatus for downhole power generation
Inventor: INMAN PAUL NOEL
IPC: E21B21/10
Filed: 2009-08-18
Abstract: Apparatus is provided for use in power generation, including a fluid-flow-driven power generator for use in a fluid-containing pipe such as a drill pipe as used in oil and gas exploration and extraction. Parts of the generator (220,254) are adapted to be removable from the pipe - for example while a drill pipe is downhole within a drilling well - to leave a clear through bore for survey and fishing operations and to enable replacement of the removed parts. The removable part may be a glow control assembly (490), which includes an adjustable flow control nozzle (500) or which receives any one of a set of different size nozzles. The flow-driven generator comprises an impeller (220) connected to a magnet assembly (254) to rotate the magnet assembly when fluid flows past the impeller. This causes relative movement between the magnet assembly (254) and an adjacent electrical coil assembly (254), the relative movement and magnetic coupling generating an electrical current in the coil assembly. This generated electrical current is used to power electrical devices withal the pipe.

Title: Wellhead tubular connector
Inventor: VANDERFORD DELBERT
IPC: E21B17/02
Filed: 2010-09-20
Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that may include employing a lockscrew (52) to provide radial and axial force in connecting tubular members in a mineral extraction system (10). The lockscrew may be angled relative to the tubular members, at an angle that is greater than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees. Further, the lockscrew may have an end portion which mates with a slot in a locking segment (54), and the lockscrew and locking segment may be moved from an unlocked to a locked position. In a locked position, the lockscrew exerts force axially downward and radially inward to push the locking segment against a tubular member, locking the member in place. The interconnection between the lockscrew and the locking segment may enable easier installation and may utilize parts which may be easier to manufacture. Furthermore, the angle of the lockscrew may provide improved support for tubular members.

Title: Measurement Stand and Method of its Electrical Control for Measuring Thin Layers
Inventor: FISCHER HELMUT
IPC: G01B5/06
Filed: 2010-03-16
Abstract: The invention involves a stand 11and a method for controlling a measuring probe (26) from a starting position (31) to a measuring position (32). A motor (34) is activated which causes a drive unit (35, fig 4) to move a displacement member (23) up and down on which the measuring probe (26) is fastened by means of a retainer (24). Before a first travel of the measuring probe (26) to the measuring position (32) the measuring probe (26) is coupled with a control unit of the measurement stand (11), such that during the movement of travel of the measuring probe (26) from the starting position (31) to the measuring position (32) signals of the measuring probe (26) are supplied to the control unit; and as the measuring probe (26) approaches the object of measurement (14) and as a measuring signal of the object of measurement (14) is first detected, the travel speed of the measuring probe (26) towards the object of measurement (14) is reduced depending on the signal change of the measuring probe (26). The movement of travel is continued at least until touchdown of the measuring probe (26) on the surface of the object of measurement (14). Between the drive unit (35) and the displacement member (23) there is arranged a free-wheel mechanism (51) which is activated after the measuring probe (26) has touched down on the surface of the object of measurement (14), and which decouples the interaction between the drive unit (35) and the displacement member (23). By way of a switching device (58, fig 5) the activation of the free-wheel mechanism (51) is detected and a control signal for stopping the motor (34) is emitted.
