Title: Catheter with integral biosensor
Inventor: HEITZMANN HAROLD A
IPC: A61M25/00
Filed: 2007-02-26
Abstract: A single or multilumen intravenous catheter that may include an integral biosensor having an active portion exposed through a sensing port formed in a distal portion of an outer wall of the catheter. The biosensor may be formed on a flex circuit mounted to a support member or probe that displaces the active portion from an inner wall of the catheter for protection from friction during installation through a lumen. The support member or probe may position the biosensor concentrically within the lumen or against an inner diameter of the outer wall. The biosensor may be sealed about the sensing port to prevent passage of fluid therethrough, or a proximal end of the sensing port may remain open to allow flushing of the biosensor with saline infused through the lumen.

Patent CA-2631285-A1 (CA)
Inventor: VINCENT RAYMOND A
IPC: F17D5/02
Filed: 2008-05-14
Abstract: A system is provided for monitoring leakage within a building. Remote sensors are placed at locations that are likely to have leaks occurring. If a leak is detected by one of the remote sensors, a signal is sent to a control for a main shut-off valve. The main shut-off valve is placed on the main water supply line leading into the building. Further, a flow meter is placed on the main water supply line.  The flow meter monitors water being delivered into the building, and should an abnormal water flow be detected, the control will close the shut-off valve. The flow meter and control may learn normal water usage patterns for the building, or the patterns may be pre-programmed into the system. A manual override allows the control to be bypassed when it is intended for a large volume of water to be moved into the building, such as when a swimming pool is filled, etc.
Patent CA-2632689-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PLANTE JAMES
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2006-12-08
Abstract: The present invention relates to a vehicle recorder system that is configured with a video camera, a light weight memory system, and a radio communications facility suitable for use in conjunction with an moving vehicle. An automobile equipped with such video recorder system that is used throughout a day of service provides a video record of unusual events which may occur from time-to-time. For example, events such as accidents, near-misses, and excessive speed, among others, trigger a system to preserve video images collected before and after the moment of the event. Replaying these images provides information regarding the cause and true nature of the event. These systems are particularly suitable for vehicle fleets, or other groups of vehicles that can communicate with a common system.

IPC: E21B47/12
Filed: 2008-07-31
Abstract: A technique usable with a well includes disposing a retractable line in a conduit having an open end located above a region of interest in the well. The retractable line comprises a sensing portion that, when the line is deployed, extends from the open end of the conduit and into the region of interest. Information observed by the sensing portion in the region of interest is communicated to the surface. When further well operations are to be performed in the region of interest, the retractable line is retracted until the sensing portion is located above the region of interest and below the surface. After the well operation is completed, the retractable line may be re-deployed such that the sensing portion again extends through the open end of the conduit and into the region of interest to continue observing characteristics associated with the well.

Title: Method for creating a stratigraphic model using pseudocores created from borehole images
Inventor: STELTING CHARLES E
IPC: G01V1/04
Filed: 2007-04-05
Abstract: A method for creating a stratigraphic model is provided. A core is obtained from a wellbore and a detailed graphic core description is created. Wireline data, including a borehole image, is obtained for a cored interval corresponding to the core and processed into an interpretable borehole image. The core description is compared with the interpretable borehole image to create a catalogue of geologic image facies. The borehole image from the entire interval of interest is compared to the catalogue to create a preliminary pseudocore description. The interpretable borehole image is interactively examined and compared with the preliminary pseudocore description to create a master pseudocore interpretation. A second master pseudocore is developed for a second wellbore. A stratigraphic model, and subsequently a reservoir model, may then be created by correlataing between the master pseudocores of the first and second wellbores.

IPC: G05B13/04

Abstract: A technique for fast performance prediction of multivariable model predictive controllers (MPC) for large-scale spatially-distributed dynamic systems is provided. When operating an MPC for a two-dimensional sheetmaking process, the controller's performance can be separated into spatial performance and dynamic performance. The steady-state spatial performance for different sheet property modes is first predicted, thereafter, the dynamic performance is predicted on the basis of the steady-state actuator profiles. During the steady-state spatial performance prediction, the original MPC's cost function is approximated to be a steady-state cost function. Then the steady-state measurement profiles and the actuator profiles are calculated through the steady-state cost function. The actuator profiles in time series can be efficiently solved by minimizing the difference between the actuator profiles and the steady-state actuator profiles in the face of constraints. Finally, the model can be employed to expeditiously compute the measurement profiles in times series.
