Title: Method and system for determining an offset between a detector and a point on a motor
Inventor: FISCHER JUERGEN
IPC: H02P25/02
Filed: 2014-06-12
Abstract: A method of determining an offset (e.g. commutation offset angle) between a detector (e.g. the zero point of an encoder 115) and a point on a motor 105 (e.g. the north pole of a magnet of the motor), the movement of the point on the motor being impeded in at least one direction (e.g. by a brake 120). The method comprises: i) using a test value for the offset, for which a displacement of the detector is measured; ii) repeating the process for increasing test values until the displacement crosses a threshold in a given direction to obtain a first crossing value; iii) repeating the process for decreasing test values until the displacement crosses the threshold from the opposite direction to obtain a second crossing value; and iv) determining the offset based on the first and second crossing values. Alternatively, step ii) may involve repeating the process for decreasing test values, and step iii) would involve repeating the process for increasing test values. The motor 105 may be a rotary motor or a linear motor.

Title: Tracking received power in wireless communications
Inventor: SVEDMAN PATRICK
IPC: H04W52/52
Filed: 2013-12-13
Abstract: A plurality of signal transmissions, transmitted using a plurality of transmit powers, are received at a receiver over a communication channel. Each transmit power shares a common transmit power term unknown to the receiver and a signal-specific power offset known to the receiver. The received power is measured at the receiver. A corresponding known power offset is subtracted from the measured received signal power, resulting in a corresponding estimate of the common unknown power term. This results in a plurality of estimates of the common transmit power term. A refined common transmit power term is estimated from the plurality of estimates of the common transmit power term. A plurality of refined measured received signal powers are estimated by adding the plurality of signal-specific power offsets to the refined common power term. Based on the refined common transmit power term, a functionality of the wireless communication system is adapted.

Title: Fracturing sequential operation method using signal responsive ported subs and packers
Inventor: BEAU R WRIGHT
IPC: E21B43/263
Filed: 2014-11-13
Abstract: The method allows a pressure test of a string with external packers without having the packer setting apparatus exposed to tubing pressure so that at a later time and at a lower pressure than the pressure test pressure, the external packers can be set with annulus pressure opened to a piston that references a low pressure chamber. The packers can be set in any desired order. Thereafter, a circulation sub can be triggered to open to allow the tracking to start. Fracking each interval beyond the first in an uphole direction can be accomplished with pumping ever increasing balls to seats associated with sliding sleeves to open the sleeves in order. In cemented completions, after a pressure test, a ported sub can open on a timer or other signal to allow pumping a combination of a bridge plug and a perforating gun to the desired location.
