Title: A fuel injector, a fuel injector assembly and an associated method
Inventor: Graeme Mawhinney
IPC: F02M65/00
Filed: 2015-10-30
Abstract: A fuel injector 1 comprising a valve member 11, in a valve bore 23 and a spring chamber 40. The spring chamber contains a biasing member 50, for example a spring, which biases the valve member into contact with a valve seat 20. A fuel supply passage 80 is connected to an outlet chamber 22 of the fuel injector and a secondary cleaning fluid supply passage 90 is connected to a second end 25 of the bore for providing fluid to clean the injector. The cleaning fluid prevents leakage of the fuel from the outlet chamber towards the second end of the bore along a clearance 29 between the valve member and the bore.

Abstract: A 3D printer includes a display (102) comprising a longitudinal display panel having an array of independently actuatable light emitters (e.g. colour changing LEDs), the display providing visual feedback of multi-dimensional printer operational characteristics. Selective activation of a sequence of neighbouring emitters provides printing process duration information and colour and/or intensity selection of individual emitters concurrently provides information regarding other operational characteristics (e.g. printing progress, time remaining, errors/failures, build height and colour) at specific times. A second display (110) displaying text or graphics may also be provided. The printer has a customisable housing (101) comprising a plurality of side walls adapted to receive cladding elements (see fig. 4) that connect to define an outer surface. The characteristics of the display providing operational status visual feedback is varied based on sensing the receipt of an element. At least one of the walls comprises a paper feed mount (103, 107), partially projecting beyond one of the walls. The housing comprises an at least partially transparent window providing a view of the paper located on the mount. The window is illuminated when the printer senses (108, 109) a quanta (e.g. a minimum) of paper located on the mount.

Title: Improved method of and apparatus for carrying out acoustic well logging
Inventor: SAID ASSOUS
IPC: G01V1/50
Filed: 2017-12-29
Abstract: A method of acoustic well logging. For each inversion depth of a well, acoustic log signals are obtained and are processed in the frequency domain to derive flexural or Stoneley field dispersion curves. A neural net then generates formation shear slowness values from these field dispersion curves. The slowness values obtained via the neural network may be used to calculate a correction to those obtained via slowness time coherence. Dispersion curves may be obtained by picking or fitting peaks in a frequency slowness semblance plot. A mask or a shape language model algorithm may be applied regarding the semblance plot to reduce noise or ambiguity.
