Patent CA-2423232-C (CA)
Inventor: RICHARDS ANDREW
IPC: F16K31/528

Granted: 2008-07-15
Abstract: A well testing system and well testing method is described which can be operated as a closed system with no production of hydrocarbons outside the well with the liquid hydrocarbon being re-injected. This is achieved by providing a string with at least two well conduits. One conduit is used to produce formation fluids to surface or to produce/store unrepresentative initial flow products and the other conduit is used to store formation fluid. A flow control valve is provided at the lower end of the string or at surface and the size of the valve opening is controllable to allow formation fluid to enter the storage string at a controlled rate, so that the formation fluid flowing time is increased to maximise the radius of investigation into the formation to a similar order of magnitude of existing production test and extended well tests.

Title: Real-time process for defining, processing and delivering a highly customized contact list over a network
Inventor: SHAFFER JAMES D
IPC: G06Q30/02
Filed: 2001-10-02
Granted: 2012-07-10
Abstract: A real-time, interactive system and method of building a list of contact records (208/408), such as a mailing list, on a computer network (120) based on selected criteria. A list specification (202) is generated, which may include interactively specifying (514) a geographically defined area for which a contact list is desired including receiving user input, and interactively selecting a product from a plurality of products and a threshold score for the product including receiving user input.  The list specification may be transmitted over the computer network to a server (150) where the contact list is built in real-time based on the list specification. If a set of characteristics of the contact list, such as number of records generated or cost, are approved by the user (322/624), the contact list is transmitted to a user-specified node (332/628) on the computer network. The list specification may be stored in memory for reuse by a business, such as a chain of stores. This feature provides a way to easily regenerate new and updated contact llists at future dates for all or a subset of the stores by accessing updated source databases without having to respecify the list every time a fresh list is required.

Title: Methode d'optimisation de l'usage de tables de fichiers
Inventor: XUE XUN
IPC: G06F9/445

Granted: 2009-02-03
Abstract: Système d'exploitation conçu pour utiliser les propriétés spéciales d'un mécanisme de communication interprocessus (IPC), nommément des paires de prises de domaine UNIX ou des canaux de communication bidirectionnelle simultanée comme supports de stockage de descripteurs de fichier de processus UNIX. Lorsqu'un descripteur de fichier est écrit dans une paire de prises et fermé lors du processus UNIX, le fichier demeure ouvert, mais n'occupe aucun espace dans la table de fichiers du processus. Le descripteur de fichier peut ensuite être extrait de la paire de prises afin de revenir dans la table de fichiers et consulté. Cette propriété est implémentée dans un mécanisme IPC du système d'exploitation UNIX. Par exemple, un répartiteur peut gérer plus de connexions et de processus que la taille de la table de fichiers ne le permet. L'extensibilité du système d'exploitation UNIX est ainsi améliorée.

Title: Configurable nozzle baffle apparatus and method
Inventor: WOODS KENNETH J
IPC: B23K10/00
Filed: 2001-07-25
Granted: 2010-06-01
Abstract: A configurable baffle to configure fluid flow through a nozzle. To improve the quality and accuracy of processing apparatus used in the cutting, welding, and heat treating of materials, a self-aligning nozzle includes a configurable baffle. This configurable baffle can be a metallic grid (e.g., a screen) or other type of membrane (e.g., porous, permeable, etc.). During its initial use in the processing apparatus, this configurable baffle is tailored with an energy beam, such as a laser beam or plasma jet, to create an optimal fluid flow velocity profile. When the configurable baffle deteriorates from use, it is easily replaced by another baffle or by using an in situ replacement mechanism. To ensure proper alignment between the nozzle and the energy beam, mating contoured surfaces are used among adjacent components. Threaded surfaces can also be employed to assist in achieving the proper coaxial alignment.

Abstract: A faucet has a spout and a pullout spray head connected to a flexible water supply tube and releasably connectable to the spout. The spout has a docking collar mounted thereon for receiving a connecting shaft of the spray head. The docking collar has an annular wall with a plurality of U-shaped slots which define a plurality of cantilevered snap fingers. Each snap finger includes a projection that fits into a groove in the connecting shaft when the spray head is docked. An elastomeric O-ring surrounds the annular wall at a point where the O- ring engages the snap fingers to bias them toward the groove. Ridges on the exterior surface of the wall retain the O-ring in place. The spout and docked spray head have parallel shoulders that define a mating plane. The projections and groove define a retaining plane. The mating plane is not parallel to the retaining plane such that rotation of the spray head about as axis normal to the mating plane will cause the projections to release from the groove.
