Patent GB-2295410-A (GB)
Title: Hydraulically actuated fishing tool
Inventor: PALMER LARRY THOMAS
IPC: E21B23/04
Filed: 1995-11-23
Abstract: A fishing tool is disclosed which is responsive to hydraulic pressure to move away support 28 for collets 18 to allow the collets to deflect and make contact with the stuck object. Upon removal of the hydraulic force, the support for the collets is returned, preferably by a biasing spring 24, to its original position to lend support for the collets while the collets have engaged the stuck object. The object can then be retrieved to the surface. Application of further hydraulic force while the object is engaged releases the support for the collets which allows the collets to disengage from the object. The process can be repeated to obtain successive releases and engagements with the stuck object without taking the fishing tool out of the wellbore. <IMAGE>

Title: Vehicle on-screen antenna
Inventor: BARLING ROY
IPC: H01Q1/12
Filed: 1996-01-23
Abstract: A vehicle on-screen antenna comprises of parallel heater wires 10 which are galvanically connected at equipotential points by additional conducting wires 14 which are of zig-zag form. The additional wires have portions which make an oblique angle to the heater wires and enhance reception of polarisations other than horizontal. A second auxiliary antenna 12 is utilised for reception of long, medium or short waveband signals and comprises of a conductive wire spaced between the top horizontal heater wire and the bottom edge 34 of the vehicle body surrounding the screen 11. A wire 16 in proximity with a conductor 20 extending from a bus bar 18 increases the capacitance of the antenna. A feeder 22 connects the end of the auxiliary antenna to an amplifier 24 which feeds the signal to a radio 32.

Title: Branch history with inhibit bits
Inventor: TANIMOTO KYOKO
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 1997-01-23
Abstract: In an information processing apparatus, an instruction read inhibit bit GIDDY is provided for each pair of addresses comprising a branch instruction address IA and target instruction address TIA registered in the branch history 1. When the reading of a target instruction predicted from the pair of addresses IA and TIA is inhibited, the instruction read inhibit bit GIDDY is set to an ON state.

Inventor: EGUCHI KOUICHI
IPC: H01Q3/08
Filed: 1997-12-12
Abstract: A three axis AZ, X, Y control method or system, suitable for an antenna mounted on a mobile platform, comprises inputting target coordinates 100, detecting the angle of the antenna on each axis relative to the platform and detecting the roll angle and pitch angle of the mounting platform relative to the horizontal level. From the above data control signals * capital Greek phi *xtd, * capital Greek theta*x, * capital Greek theta*y are derived for compensating the errors present in the three axis angles. The target coordinates 100 may be obtained using a locate and tracking facility which includes trial and error steptrack 104 adjustments until a signal of an acceptable quality is obtained. The bearing of the mobile platform 106 may be obtained from a gyrocompass whilst potentiometers may be used to detect the angle of the antenna on each axis. Inclinometers may be used to derive the roll and pitch angle of the platform.

Title: Provision of a Supplementary Communications Service in a Cellular System
Inventor: AHN JAE-MIN
IPC: H04J11/00
Filed: 1998-06-05
Abstract: A low priority service (e.g. weather or stock market report) is provided in a communications system which has a forward traffic channel comprising a main "fundamental" channel and a variable number of additional "supplemental" channels which are brought into use when extra capacity is required, such as for data transmission. In a cellular system stability is enhanced by maintaining the total transmission power of a base station substantially constant in time. This is achieved in the present invention by transmitting the low priority data on designated "complemental" channels during periods when the "supplemental" channels are not being used. The "complemental" channels may be designated from the "supplemental" channels.
Patent GB-2341661-A (GB)
Title: Pressure relief device
Inventor: SANSUM NIGEL PAUL
IPC: F16K17/04
Filed: 1998-09-19
Abstract: An O-ring 1 arranged to seal an interface between a first part 2 and a second part 3 of a fluid waterway is responsive to fluid pressure n the waterway to provide a controlled leak path at elevated pressures. The O-ring 1 is located and retained in a groove 4 to close the leak path at normal fluid pressures and is displaced away from the base of the groove 4 into a space 8 at elevated fluid pressures to break the seal thus opening temporarily the leak path and so relieving excess pressure. The resilience of O-ring causes it to return to its original position to re-make the seal closing automatically the leak path as the fluid pressure is reduced. The walls 6 and 7 of the groove 4 contain circumferentially space orifices 9 and 10 which define the leak path. The device is preferably for use with an instantaneous water heater.

Title: Covering profiled surface of a base member with a sheet by using bonding under vacuum
Inventor: FURUYA TAMIO
IPC: B29C51/08
Filed: 1999-02-04
Abstract: A vacuum covering method for covering a profiled surface (10c, 51a) of a base member (10, 51) with a sheet (15, 52) by effecting bonding between the sheet and the base member under vacuum, wherein the base member has a multiplicity of spaced vacuum grooves (11, 60) extending across the profiled surface. When air is evacuated from the vacuum grooves, the sheet is drawn by vacuum or suction down onto the profiled surface. The base member is injection-molded of synthetic resin and undergoes thermal shrinkage when it becomes cool after molding. With the vacuum grooves provided in the profiled surface, thermal shrinkage is distributed uniformly over the entire area of the profiled surface and does not generate shrink mark which may form a depression on a front surface of the sheet bonded to the base member. The sheet (15, 52) may comprise a facing layer (16), a foam layer (17) and a barrier layer (73), the barrier layer having a modulus of elasticity greater than that of the facing layer.

IPC: E21B31/113
Filed: 1997-09-18
Abstract: A jar mechanism is described as comprising an outer body member (2, 4, 9, 10, 14, 17), an inner body member (1, 5, 11) which is movably mounted on the outer body member (2, 4, 9, 10, 14, 17), and a fluid chamber (35, 37, 42) which is defined by the inner (1, 5, 11) and outer body members (2, 4, 9, 10, 14, 17). Firstly, a resistance mechanism (12, 13, 48, 50) is described which is in fluid communication with the fluid chamber (35, 37, 42). The inner (1, 5, 11) and outer body members (2, 4, 9, 10, 14, 17) are moveable relative to each other between a first configuration in which the resistance mechanism (12, 13, 48, 50) resists relative movement therebetween, and a second configuration in which the resistance mechanism (12, 13, 48, 50) substantially does not resist relative movement therebetween. The resistance mechanism (12, 13, 48, 50) comprises two valve devices (58), where each valve device (58) resists movement of fluid within the fluid chamber (35, 37, 42) in one direction and the valve devices (58) are arranged to resist the movement of fluid in opposite directions. A releasable locking mechanism (5, 8) is secondly described for locking the inner body member (1, 5, 11) with respect to the outer body member (2, 4, 9, 10, 14, 17), where a piston section (48, 50) permits a load to be applied between the body members after the locking mechanism (5, 8) has released. Optionally, there is at least one flow passage to permit fluid located in the annulus between the body members in flow from one side of the locking mechanism (5, 8) to the other.

Patent GB-2334287-A (GB)
Title: Plugging a well
Inventor: IRELAND KELLY D
IPC: E21B23/06
Filed: 1996-07-03
Abstract: In a one-trip method of plugging a well in which a packer and perforating gun are run into the well-bore together, the packer is set by a setting tool, the tool is released from the packer and the gun is positioned, set off and removed, the setting tool S includes a support 74 for collets 78 which secure the tool to the packer while they are being run into the well-bore. On setting of the packer sleeves 26,30 are displaced by the action of two pistons 44,56, resulting in breakage of a tensile element 84 which releases the tool from the packer. When the first piston 44 is displaced, e.g. by igniting a charge in response to pressure, it forces fluid through a restriction 54 to control its speed and the fluid drives piston 56 whose rod 58 is connected to the sleeves 26,30.
