Title: Method for finding the extreme values in an n-dimensional array by relating the global extrema to local extreme values
Inventor: BEAUMONT MARK
IPC: G06F9/46
Filed: 2003-04-23
Abstract: The extrema, eg maximum or minimum, values of the processing elements of an array are determined by relating a first dimensional extrema to the one or more local extreme values in the first dimension. The extrema from the first dimension is then related to the extrema of the second dimension. The process is then iterated or repeated for the rest of the dimensions in the array. The values have a most and a less significant byte. The method could comprise receiving a set of local extrema, then separating the set into odd numbered and an even numbered set. The extrema from each set is then determined and the overall extreme found from the odd and even extremes. The sets of local extrema could be received in bursts, who's length could be selected so as to minimise the number of lost cycles. The determining of the extrema of the sets could comprise loading the most and the less significant byte into most and less significant byte registers. Then comparing the register values to the register values of another local extrema, and then setting carry flags for the most and the less significant bytes relative to the comparison. The contains of the registers are then updated conditionally on the flags.

Title: Self charging torch
Inventor: GREENE JAMES PATRICK
IPC: H01M10/46
Filed: 2003-05-21
Abstract: A torch that uses a solar panel housed around the bulb to both reflect the light to generate a beam and to recharge it's batteries. The batteries (3) which are rechargeable, there are two ways to recharge the batteries. The primary charging of the batteries comes from an AC mains charger. When the batteries are charged and then the torch is in use, (1) the bulb is powered and the light emitted bounces off (2) the reflective surface to produce a beam of light. This reflective surface (2) is also a solar panel, which recharges the batteries while the torch is in use. The batteries power the bulb which in turn power the batteries. The light generated by the bulb (1) is captured by the solar panel (2) and stores this power in the batteries (3) via the connecting wires (4).

Title: One-way wellbore valve
Inventor: LAPLANTE TONY
IPC: E21B21/10
Filed: 2004-03-29
Abstract: A wellbore valve 24, 26 is mounted within a tool 2. The valve is a one-way or non-return valve that in use allows a flow of fluid in a first direction, but prevents it in a second.

Title: Storing of extreme wellbore production pressure levels for subsequent use in hydraulic valve actuation
Inventor: BUYERS MARK
IPC: E21B34/10
Filed: 2005-07-15
Abstract: A downhole production flow control valve is actuated by a hydraulic source which is fed by relative high pressure and low pressure chambers or accumulators. The chambers each feed to a respective side of a piston and cylinder device which controls the valve. The pressure within the high pressure chamber is set at the highest extreme of the production fluid pressure which charges the chamber via a check valve. The pressure within the low pressure chamber is set at the lowest extreme of the production fluid pressure charged via another check valve. The pressure reserves will be replenished whenever there are pressure surges or dips providing a pressure differential, this allows the repeated operation of the valve. Embodiments are provided where valve actuation is triggered relative to a single low pressure reservoir (figure 5) and a single high pressure reservoir (figure 4).
