Title: Refrigeration apparatus
Inventor: ATSUSHI YOSHIMI
IPC: F25B5/00

Granted: 2011-12-22
Abstract: An air conditioner (1) has a two-stage compression type compression mechanism (2), a heat source heat exchanger (4), a utilization heat exchanger (6), a switching mechanism (3), and an intermediate heat exchanger (7). The switching mechanism (3) is a mechanism for switching between a cooling-operation state in which refrigerant is circulated in order from the compression mechanism (2) through the heat source heat exchanger (4) to the utilization heat exchanger (6) and a heating-operation state in which the refrigerant is circulated in order from the compression mechanism (2) through the utilization heat exchanger (6) to the heat source heat exchanger (4). The intermediate heat exchanger (7) is a heat exchanger which, when the switching mechanism (3) is set to the cooling-operation state, can be made to function as a cooler for the refrigerant discharged from a front stage compression element (2c) and sucked into a rear stage compression element (2d) and which, when the switching mechanism (3) is set to the heating-operation state, can be made to function as an evaporator for the refrigerant having released heat in the utilization heat exchanger (6).

Title: Broadband patch antenna system
Inventor: EMELIANOV SERGEY
IPC: H01Q1/38
Filed: 2009-04-24
Granted: 2014-01-16
Abstract: A micropatch antenna system with simultaneous high bandwidth and low sensitivity to multipath radiation is achieved by positioning a radiating element within a cavity in a ground plane. Bandwidth and sensitivity to multipath radiation may be varied by varying the height of the radiating element above the bottom of the cavity and above the top of the ground plane. The electromagnetic and physical characteristics of the antenna system may be further controlled by introducing dielectric solids or wave-slowing structures between the bottom of the cavity and the radiating element. A dual-band micropatch antenna system with simultaneous high bandwidth and low sensitivity to multipath radiation may be similarly configured by stacking a second radiating element on top of the first radiating element.

Title: Method for position estimation using generalized error distributions
Inventor: BOYER PETE A
IPC: H04B1/10
Filed: 2009-12-14
Granted: 2013-05-02
Abstract: A method for improving the results of radio location systems that incorporate weighted least squares optimization generalizes the weighted least squares method by using maximum a posteriori (MAP) probability metrics to incorporate characteristics of the specific positioning problem (e.g., UTDOA). Weighted least squares methods are typically used by TDOA and related location systems including TDOA/ AOA and TDOA/GPS hybrid systems. The incorporated characteristics include empirical information about TDOA errors and the probability distribution of the mobile position relative to other network elements. A technique is provided for modeling the TDOA error distribution and the a priori mobile position. A method for computing a MAP decision metric is provided using the new probability distribution models. Testing with field data shows that this method yields significant improvement over existing weighted least squares methods.

Abstract: Systems and methods of optimizing packet flow in a network are disclosed. An internetwork includes plural networks, each network having plural non-router nodes and at least one router node. The non-router node of a first network can be configured to perform congestion control. The non-router node sends a request packet to a node in a second network.

Abstract: The invention relates to an energy-absorbing device (100), in particular in the form of safety device against shock loads, for a track-borne vehicle, the energy absorbing device (100) having an energy-absorbing member (10) and a mating member (20). In this case the mating member (20) co-operates with the energy absorbing member (10) in such a way that, if a critical shock force applied to the energy-absorbing device (100) is exceeded, the mating member (20) and the energy-absorbing member (10) move relative to one another, towards one another, while at the same time absorbing at least some of the shock energy which is applied to the energy-absorbing device (100).

Title: Intraluminal device with controlled biodegradation
Inventor: GIBBONS JR WILLIAM S
IPC: A61L31/10
Filed: 2010-03-24
Granted: 2013-04-04
Abstract: An intraluminal device with controlled biodegradation is provided. The intraluminal device comprises a biodegradable tubular main body. An outer photodegradable layer is disposed over at least a portion of the intraluminal device. The photodegradable outer layer is chemically inert to the body fluids of the implanted region, thereby preventing premature biodegradation of the stent. Degradation of the outer photodegradable layer after a predetermined time occurs by irradiating the layer with UV light waves. After removal of the outer photodegradable layer, the tubular main body becomes exposed to the in vivo environment, thereby allowing biodegradation of the tubular main body.

Title: Swellable polymer with cationic sites
Inventor: MORADI-ARAGHI AHMAD
IPC: C08F26/00
Filed: 2010-06-14
Granted: 2014-01-16
Abstract: The invention is directed to long lasting crosslinked water-soluble swellable polymers, methods for making same, and their uses. More particularly, the invention relates to a composition comprising expandable polymeric particles having cationic sites as well as labile crosslinkers and stable crosslinkers, said particle mixed with a fluid. A particularly important use is as an injection fluid in petroleum production, where the expandable polymeric particles are injected into a target zones in the reservoirs and when the heat and/or pH of the reservoir cause degradation of the labile crosslinker and when the particle expands, the cationic sites in the polymer adsorb to the rock in the formation, thus diverting water to lower permeability regions and improving oil recovery. However, many other uses are possible.

Title: Multi-stage pressure equalization valve assembly of subterranean valves
Inventor: PLUNKETT KEVIN R
IPC: E21B19/08
Filed: 2010-09-28
Granted: 2015-07-09
Abstract: A downhole valve that operates on turning of a member having a passage through it with a control system also features a passage from above an uphole seat for the member which communicates to the isolated passage within the member when the valve is closed. The passage features a check valve assembly that preferably has redundant sealing features and filters to prevent debris entry. Pressure applied from above the closed member gets through the check valve assembly to equalize the higher pressure below the ball with the pressure raised in the ball from pressure application at the surface. Removal of the applied pressure reseats the check valve or valves to allow the hydraulic system to rotate the member while the member is no longer subject to a high differential pressure.

Title: System and method for detecting and correcting defective pixels in an image sensor
Inventor: COTE GUY
IPC: H04N9/04
Filed: 2010-10-12
Granted: 2014-01-23
Abstract: Various techniques are provided for the detection and correction of defective pixels in an image sensor 90. In accordance with one embodiment, a static defect table storing the locations of known static defects is provided, and the location of a current pixel is compared to the static defect table. If the location of the current pixel is found in the static defect table, the current pixel is identified as a static defect and is corrected using the value of the previous pixel of the same color. If the current pixel is not identified as a static defect, a dynamic defect detection process 444 includes comparing pixel-to-pixel gradients between the current pixel a set of neighboring pixels against a dynamic defect threshold. If a dynamic defect is detected, a replacement value for correcting the dynamic defect may be determined by interpolating the value of two neighboring pixels on opposite sides of the current pixel in a direction exhibiting the smallest gradient.
