Abstract: A jumper for insuring electrical or fluid communication between the liner and the casing of an oil field downhole. The jumper has a first tubing adapted to be inserted in the liner, a second tubing adapted to be inserted in the casing and an anchor adapted to be rigidly mounted in the casing. The first and second tubings are composed of an electrically conductive material and are supported by the anchor with an insulated joint. Each of the first and second tubings has a plurality of centering devices, each consisting of a pair of rings surrounding the tubing and an array of bowed springs bridging between the rings and biased to bow outwardly from the tubing into engagement with the inner circumference liner or the casing, as the case may be. One of the two rings is electrically connected to the tubing, for example by welding, whereas the other ring is free to be displaced longitudinally of the tubing so that the outer diameter of the array of bowed springs may expand or contract, as needed. Each bowed spring in the array is provided with a series of electrical contacts which insure electrical conductivity between the welded ring and the surrounding liner or casing through the bowed spring.

Abstract: Treprostinil is prepared by a process which involves Pauson - Khan cyclization of an an alkene-substituted, alkyne-substituted benzene corresponding to formula: (see above formula) where PMB represents para-methoxybenzyl protecting group and R1 and R2 are alcohol protecting groups. Following cyclization, the resulting compound can be subjected to several chemical transformations followed by alkylation, hydrolysis and salt formation to yield treprostinil sodium. The use of para-methoxybenzyl group as the phenolic protecting group confers several process advantages that result in simplified purification of the final product and improved yields.

IPC: H01S5/06
Filed: 2008-04-11
Abstract: The present invention concerns a laser apparatus (200) comprising an external cavity laser (ECL) in which the optical signal is modulated by an electrical modulation signal with the purpose of modulating in frequency the laser output signal.  The modulation in frequency produces in turn a modulation of intensity (power) of the laser output signal, also denoted amplitude modulation (AM). A method is described of control of the AM amplitude of a signal emitted by an ECL that comprises a gain medium (205), a phase element (206) with variable transmissivity induced by the modulation and a spectrally selective optical fil-ter (209) and that selects and keeps the AM amplitude below a certain desired value or minimizes such value. A control method and a laser apparatus (200) are also described in which the reduction of the AM component of the output power is achieved by acting on the gain of the gain medium of the ECL in such way that the variation of transmissivity caused by the modulation applied to a phase element (206) is at least partially compensated by a corresponding variation of the gain current of the gain medi-um so as to reduce or to minimize the variation of the loop gain of the laser cavity induced by the modulation.

Abstract: Healthcare purchase data from a transaction upon a patient's account may be required to be transported and stored for safeguarding patient confidentiality if sufficient to identify the patient and the purchase. To avoid non-compliance, a transaction hander (TH) receives the data from a merchant's acquirer as encrypted by a key known to both the acquirer and TH. After decrypting the data with that key, the TH re-encrypts it with a key known only to the TH, and then stored. After receiving an issuer's request for the data, the TH decrypts the data using its own key, re-encrypts it using a key known only to the TH and the issuer, and then sends it to the issuer who will decrypt the data using that key. The unencrypted data may be used by the issuer to demonstrate the issuer's regulatory compliance to a governmental entity.

Title: Blade pitch control system, wind turbine generator, and blade pitch control method
Inventor: NAGASAKI MOMOE
IPC: F03D7/00
Filed: 2011-03-11
Abstract: A wind turbine generator (10) generates power through rotation of a rotor to which a plurality of blades (20) are pivotally coupled and includes a pitch-angle control section (62) that outputs a pitch-angle command value that indicates the amount of change in the pitch angle of each of the blades (20), hydraulic cylinders (48) each of which changes the pitch angle of the corresponding blade (20) based on the corresponding pitch-angle command value output from the pitch-angle control section (62), and load measurement sections (66) that measure blade-root loads. A set value indicating that wind received by the wind turbine generator (10) has a biased wind speed distribution is set in advance in the pitch-angle control section (62). Only when a calculated pitch-angle command value exceeds the set value, the pitch-angle control section (62) outputs a pitch-angle command value beyond pitch command limit values. Therefore, in the wind turbine generator (10), a higher load than necessary is not imposed on a drive unit for the pitch angle of each of the blades (20) in a case of a normal wind speed or a wind speed distribution caused by the normal wind speed, and the blade-root load can be sufficiently reduced even in a case of a wind speed distribution that occurs when a strong wind is received.
