Title: Method and apparatus for imaging earth formation
Inventor: CHEN MIN-YI
IPC: G01V3/20
Filed: 1999-06-25
Abstract: The borehole imaging apparatus of the present invention includes a tool having an array of voltage electrode buttons (32a, b, ...) mounted on a non-conductive pad (30). A current source (34, 38) and a current return (36, 40) are preferably located on the non-conductive pads at opposite ends thereof.  The locations of the current source (34, 38) and return (36, 40) are designed to force a current to flow in the formation parallel to the pad face and non-parallel to the formation boundary layers. According to a method of the invention, the voltage difference between a pair of buttons in the array is proportional to the resistivity of the formation bed adjacent to the buttons. The ratio of voltage differences between two nearby pairs of electrode buttons provides a quantitative measurement of the ratio of shallow resistivity. The resolution of the image produced by the new tool is determined only by the spacing of the buttons.

Title: Reseaux en anneau logique a ligne principale et ramifications pour installation sous-marine
Inventor: TRISCHITTA PATRICK
IPC: H04L12/437
Filed: 2000-05-17
Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un réseau en anneau logique à ligne principale et ramifications, qui comprend plusieurs noeuds couplés à une structure d'anneau par plusieurs unités de ramification. Les connexions à la structure de l'anneau sont conçues pour que les noeuds physiquement adjacents ne soient pas adjacents l'un à l'autre d'un point de vue logique dans le réseau. En prévoyant une telle alternance dans l'agencement des ramifications, on réduit considérablement la longueur maximum de tout écart non régénéré le long de l'anneau, ce qui réduit également l'espacement des répéteurs dans le réseau.

Title: Electronic document classification system
Inventor: HARA YOSHINOBU
IPC: G06F17/00
Filed: 2001-06-28
Abstract: An electronic document classification system for classifying electronic documents received through a network is provided. The classification system comprises a criteria table for storing predetermined criteria for items included in the electronic documents and a score counter provided corresponding to each of the electronic documents. For each of the items included in the electronic documents, the classification system compares the item with a corresponding criterion stored in the criteria table, obtains a score based on the comparison result, and adds the obtained score to the score counter. Therefore, the resultant value of the score counter indicates a sum of the scores obtained for the items included in the electronic document corresponding to the score counter.  The classification system assigns a priority to each of the electronic documents in accordance with the value of the score counter corresponding to the electronic document. Thus, the electronic document received through a network are prioritized.

Title: Volume efficient layered manifold assembly for electrochemical fuel cell stacks
Inventor: GIBB PETER R
IPC: H01M8/24
Filed: 1999-12-07
Abstract: A volume efficient, layered manifold assembly (10) is disclosed for an array of one or more internally manifolded fuel cell stacks (30). The assembly comprises a stack of substantially planar layers (11, 12, 13) in which each pair of adjacent layers defines a fluid distribution chamber or plenum (15, 16, 17). Appropriate passages (75, 76) connect each chamber to the internal manifolds (47, 48, 57, 58) of the fuel cell stacks and to various external fluid ports (71, 72, 73) for supply or exhaust of fuel oxidant, or coolant streams. Passages (74, 75) for at least one fluid penetrate the layers defining the distribution chamber for another fluid. Valving (61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66) can be incorporated directly in the manifold assembly and used to periodically reverse the direction of fluid flow through internal manifolds of the fuel cell stacks.

Title: Pair of multifocal progressive spectacle lenses
Inventor: FRANCOIS SANDRINE
IPC: G02C7/02
Filed: 1999-12-22
Abstract: The invention relates to a pair of progressive ophthalmic spectacle lenses;  each lens has an aspherical surface with a far vision zone, an intermediate vision zone and a near vision zone, and good monocular and binocular foveal vision along the principal meridian. At each point of the aspherical surface there is a mean sphere which is proportional to the half sum of the maximum and minimum radii of curvature expressed in meters, and to the refractive index of the lens material. The invention suggests reducing, for a given direction of sight, the absolute value of the difference between a binocularity parameter for two points in the object space. The binocularity parameter is defined for a point in the object space as the relative difference .DELTA.S of the mean sphere for the points of the aspherical surface of the right and left lenses through which the wearer sees said point.
