Patent GB-2405656-A (GB)
Title: Plug concealment and diversion tool
Inventor: VINCENT RAY P
IPC: E21B33/16
Filed: 2003-06-12
Abstract: A tool for capturing and retaining a pump down plug (pp) or ball which has been released from equipment above in a well bore, concealing the pump down plug (pp) from subsequent flow of fluid or other material through the tool, and diverting flow from a normal circulation port (18) toward a bypass port (20) through the tool. The pump down plug (pp) seats in, and closes, the circulation port (18), where the pump down plug is then retained by a tubular receptacle (26). Increased fluid pressure then shears the tool body (14) loose from its housing (12), moving it downward to a position lower in the housing. This opens the path through which the pump down plug was released from above. A further pressure increase can be used to open the bypass port (20) through the tool body. When the tool body is released from its first position, a diverter (30) can close over the tubular receptacle and divert movement of fluid and other material away from the area of the circulation port (18) and toward the bypass port (20).

Title: Controller for a shared bus which can switch between arbitration algorithms dependent upon a process to be run
Inventor: KAZAMA ATSUSHI
IPC: G06F13/362
Filed: 2006-07-14
Abstract: Usage of a bus 140 is shared between a number of bus masters 101a-c under the control of an arbiter 120. The arbiter selects between arbitration algorithms based upon a value stored in an algorithm register 130. The system analyses usage of the bus during a particular process and decides upon the most appropriate algorithm for efficient use of the bus during that process, typically round robin for equal bus usage and fixed priority for unequal bus usage. When the system is to subsequently perform this process the value for the appropriate algorithm is loaded into the register 130. In some embodiments the bus master are split into groups and it is possible to assign an arbitration algorithm to each group and one to arbitrate between groups.
