Title: Conduit spacer for duct banks
Inventor: MCCOY DONALD P
IPC: H02G3/22
Filed: 2010-05-26
Abstract: Conduit spacers useful in preparing duct banks are disclosed. The conduit spacers are designed for attachment to each other in vertical and horizontal combinations, that is, they may be arranged in side-by-side arrays, up-and-down arrays, or arrays that are both 5 side-to-side and up-and-down. Thus, the conduit spacers include both vertical and horizontal restraints or interlocks. The vertical interlocks are achieved by the use of tapered tabs and tapered slots, both the tabs and the slots having tapers in the same horizontal direction. Horizontal interlocks are made by the use of rails and matching grooves in the sides of the spacers. Thus, both vertical and horizontal interlocks are achieved by 0 assembling the ducts in a horizontal direction, side-by-side as desired for width, and up-and down as desired for height. The number and length of conduits and the length of the duct banks needed dictate how many spacers are needed. 20d 7 7 20c 6 20a 4

Title: Subterranean screen with varying resistance to flow
Inventor: RICHARD BENNETT M
IPC: E21B34/06
Filed: 2010-02-24
Abstract: A screen section is made with variable resistance to flow in the screen material to balance the flow along the screen length. In one variation different discrete zones have screens configured for different percentages of open area while all have the same particle filtration capability. In another variation discrete portions have differing amounts of overlapping screen portions so as to balance flow without affecting the particle size screened. The cross-sectional shape of a wire wrap underlayment for the screen is made closer to trapezoidal to decrease the angle of opening for the incoming flow paths toward the base pipe. In this manner flow resistance is reduced and flow is increased due to reduced turbulence.

Title: Stabilisation of objects
Inventor: CATONI JOHN GERARD
IPC: A47B13/02
Filed: 2011-02-25
Abstract: A support mechanism (7) for an object, such as a table, has at least two fixed legs (3 and 5), at least two moveable legs (4 and 6) and an interconnection means (8). The interconnection means is intermediate and rigidly connected to the at least two fixed legs. Each moveable leg includes a beam portion (4a, 6a), with one end of the beam portion connected to the interconnection means by a pivot having a pivot axis (provided by the bolt 12 for example). Each moveable leg also includes at least one support member (19-22) connected to and extending from the beam portion. At least one object support portion (19b-22b) is provided on each support member, the object support portion in contact with the object (such as the underside of a table top) in use and providing a substantially vertical support force to the object. Locating means (14) attached to the object and located relative to the interconnection means, permit upward relative displacement between the locating means and the interconnection means and prevent substantially horizontal relative displacement between the locating means (14) and the interconnection means (8). Substantially vertical displacement of the ground engaging end or foot (4c or 6c) of one of the moveable legs relative to the fixed legs causes substantially vertical displacement of the support member of the associated moveable leg and therefore substantially vertical displacement of the object and the locating means relative the interconnection means and the fixed legs, causing another of the at least two moveable legs to rotate, the support mechanism thereby conforming to an uneven surface. Relative horizontal motion between the support members and the object can be accommodated by adding a degree of freedom such as using sliding joints or flexible support members.

Title: Method to reduce artifacts in algorithms with fast-varying gain
Inventor: PEDERSEN MICHAEL SYSKIND
IPC: G10L21/00
Filed: 2011-12-09
Abstract: METHOD AND DEVICE FOR REDUCING ARTIFACTS IN AUDIO PROCESSING ALGORITHMS WITH FAST-VARYING GAIN The application relates to a method of reducing artifacts in an audio processing algorithm for applying a time and frequency dependent gain to an input audio signal. The application further relates to an audio processing device. One object of the present application is to improve and/or effect a user's perception of a sound signal, which has been subject to one or more audio processing algorithms. Artifacts are reduced by providing a time frequency representation of an input audio signal comprising a number of frequency bands; applying an audio processing algorithm, e.g. a noise reduction algorithm, providing an estimated algorithm output signal; determining for each frequency band a difference between a value of the estimated gain signal at a given time and at a preceding time; averaging the difference over a predefined time; providing a confidence estimate based on the time averaged difference, said confidence estimate being relatively low in case said time averaged difference is above a predetermined threshold level and relatively high in case said time averaged difference is below a predetermined threshold level; optionally applying said confidence estimate to said noise reduced output signal thereby providing an improved algorithm (e.g. noise reduced) output signal. An advantage of the present invention is that it provides a tool to reduce artifacts in algorithms for processing an audio signal in a time-frequency representation (e.g. noise reduction or speech processing algorithms). The invention may e.g. be used for audio processing systems, e.g. public address systems, listening devices, e.g. hearing instruments.

Title: Low temperature method and system for forming field joints on undersea pipelines
Inventor: JACKSON ADAM
IPC: F16L58/18
Filed: 2011-06-02
Abstract: A method for forming a field joints between sections of coated or insulated pipe which are to be welded together and incorporated into an undersea pipeline for carrying single or multi-phase fluids such as oil, gas and water. The method includes the application of a liquid epoxy layer which overlaps a lip of the factory-applied FBE coating protruding beyond a chamfered end of the factory-applied insulation layer, and which may be applied over the entire weld joint area. The liquid epoxy layer is partially cured by application of heat, and a layer of powdered adhesive is applied onto the partially cured liquid epoxy layer. The adhesive is subsequently sintered and activated by application of heat to its outer surface. The outer surfaces of the adhesive layer and the chamfers are then preheated and the thermal joint insulation is injection molded over the entire joint area. Throughout the entire method the temperature of the factory-applied FBE coating is maintained below its glass transition temperature so as to avoid weakening the bond between the FBE coating and the underlying steel pipe. The number and sequence of steps can be varied, depending at least partly on whether the liquid epoxy and adhesive layers are applied in a pipe coating facility or in the field.
