Patent CA-2754499-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SEIFERT JOST
IPC: B64C3/38
Filed: 2011-10-03
Abstract: The invention relates to an aircraft (10) having a variable geometry for adapting the flight characteristics to different flight situations, comprising a fuselage (12) with a pair of wings (14) projecting therefrom on both sides in the transverse direction (y), each of which wings has an inner wing section (16) arranged stationarily with respect to the fuselage (12) and an outer wing section (20) adjacent thereto and pivotable about a pivot axis (18). Such aircrafts known from the prior art as "swing-wing aircrafts" have a number of disadvantages. With the invention, an alternative concept is proposed in which the pivot axis (18) is oriented in a direction which deviates from the longitudinal direction (x) of the aircraft (10) by a maximum of 40°, thus, e.g., is substantially oriented in said longitudinal direction (x).  Therefore, it is advantageously possible to implement e.g. an "aerodynamic pivoting drive", and/or a conflict of objectives between an aircraft shape with low radar signature and the possibility of an energy-efficient cruise flight and agile flight characteristics can be mitigated.

Title: Reservoir architecture and connectivity analysis
Inventor: LEVITAN MICHAEL M
IPC: E21B43/00
Filed: 2010-08-04
Abstract: An interactive system and method of operating the system to define and evaluate a model of a hydrocarbon reservoir. The reservoir model is defined from extrinsic information such as seismic surveys, well logs, and the like, and is based on elements of formation regions, connections among the regions, wells, and perforations. A boundary-element method is used to determine pressure interference responses, corresponding to the pressure at a perforation in response to a single perforation producing fluid at a unit flow rate. These pressure interference responses are then convolved with measured well flow rates obtained during production to arrive at estimates of the wellbore pressure at one or more wells of interest. The estimated wellbore pressure can be compared with downhole pressure measurements to validate the reservoir model, or to provoke the user into modifying the model and repeating the evaluation of the model.
