Title: Downhole tool control
Inventor: EDDISON ALAN MARTYN
IPC: E21B34/06
Filed: 2013-02-20
Abstract: Downhole tool and method comprising an axially movable tubular piston 14 and a flow restriction 20 which cooperate to allow the tool to take a no flow configuration (FIG 1C). An intermediate configuration can also be achieved where an intermediate flow area is defined (FIG 1B). The tool is reconfigured to an intermediate configuration by flowing fluid through the tool at an intermediate flow rate. The tool is reconfigured to an operating configuration (FIG 1A) by flowing fluid through the tool at an operating flow rate which is higher than the intermediate flow rate. Moving the piston between a no-flow position and the intermediate position comprises a transitional stage where the piston and the flow restriction cooperate to provide a step change in flow area.

Title: Apparatus and method for compensating for pressure changes within an isolated annular space of a wellbore
Inventor: ORR BENJAMIN R
IPC: E21B33/12
Filed: 2011-10-11
Abstract: Pressure relief devices comprise a chamber having a piston disposed therein. One side of the piston defines a hydrostatic chamber in fluid communication with an outside environment, such as an isolated wellbore annulus, through a port. The other side of the piston defines a sealed or isolated chamber. The pressure relief device permits changes in pressure in the isolated wellbore annulus to be distributed into the chambers so as to either reduce the pressure within the isolated wellbore annulus or increase the pressure within the wellbore annulus, both of which lessen the likelihood that the change in pressure within the isolated wellbore annulus will damage wellbore components disposed therein.

Title: Adjusting the power level of an initial preamble signal transmission using a calculated path loss difference in a heterogeneous network
Inventor: CAO AIJUN
IPC: H04W52/24
Filed: 2012-08-30
Abstract: In a heterogeneous network (HetNet) deployment that includes a macro base station and a low power node (e.g. a micro base station, femto cell), a geometry indicator is transmitted by the low power node to facilitate the calculation of a path loss difference value 506 at a user equipment using power estimates of the received synchronization signal from the macro base station 502 and received geometry indicator signal from the low power node 504. Using the estimated path loss difference value, the user equipment adjusts the power level of an initial preamble signal transmission to the macro base station 508. The low power node refrains from transmitting signals using a pre-defined set of time-frequency transmission resources (702, figure 7), and then transmits a geometry indication signal at time-frequency transmission resources non-overlapping with the pre-defined set of time-frequency resources (704). The geometry indicator signal is transmitted at a power level lower than that of the macro node synchronisation signal, and carries a transmitting node identification.

Title: Mobile device authentication
Inventor: ZOELEN WILLEM RUDY VAN
IPC: H04W92/02
Filed: 2014-04-04
Abstract: Authentication information for a mobile device connected to a first mobile communication network operated by a first network operator is obtained by receiving a request for subscriber server information and determining whether the request is for information to authenticate the mobile device. If it is, it is determined whether this can be obtained from a first subscriber server controlled by the first network operator or from a second subscriber server not controlled by the first network operator. The authentication information is retrieved from the first or second subscriber server via an authentication proxy server according to the result of the determination. If the request is for information other than authentication information, this is retrieved from the first subscriber server. An embodiment describes the migration of mobile device users to a new network without requiring the user to change a SIM card. It may also apply to a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO).
