Patent AU-1438095-A (AU)
Title: Drill pipe
Inventor: MARTIN J SCOTT
IPC: F16L9/18
Filed: 1994-12-16
Abstract: A drill pipe (10, 100, 220, 200, 210, 250) is disclosed which includes a cylindrical pipe section (12), a box end (14), a pin end (16) and a hydraulic hose assembly (202, 18) or tube, which may not be sealed to pin and box ends (212, 90, 260), inserted between the box and pin ends and extending within the cylindrical pipe section. All, or the majority of drilling fluid passes through the hydraulic hose assembly (202, 18) or tube (212, 90, 260). The interior surface of the cylindrical pipe section (12) may or may not be exposed to the drilling fluid but any corrosion generated by metal-to-fluid contact is generally trapped between the hose or tube and the pipe section. The reduced volume of the hydraulic hose assembly (202, 18) or tube (212, 90, 260) relative to conveying the drilling fluid through the interior of the cylindrical pipe section reduces significantly the waste of drilling fluid, allows the fluid to be pressurized more rapidly to initiate drilling operation, and limits fluid spill damage to the environment.

Title: Ultra-wideband data transmission system
IPC: H04B1/69
Filed: 1999-11-29
Abstract: A waveform adaptive transmitter that conditions and/or modulates the phase, frequency, bandwidth, amplitude and/or attenuation of ultra-wideband (UWB) pulses. The transmitter band-limits UWB signals within spectral limits for use in communication, positioning, and/or radar applications. One embodiment comprises a low-level UWB source (e.g. and.impulse generator (100) or time-gated oscillator (106)), a waveform adapter (e.g. digital or analog filter (102), pulse shaper, and/or voltage variable attenuator (112)), a power amplifier, and an antenna to radiate a band-limited and/or modulated UWB signals. In a special case where the oscillator has zero frequency and outputs a DC bias, a low-level impulse generator impulse-excites a bandpass filter to produce an UWB signal having an adjustable center frequency and desired bandwidth based on a characteristic of the filter. The UWB transmitter is capable of extremely high pulse repetition frequencies and data rates in the hundreds of megabits per second or more, frequency agility on a pulse-to-pulse basis allowing frequency hopping if desired, and extensibility from below HF to millimeter wave frequencies.

A high frequency channel stepper is connected to the transmitter and selectively connected to the receiver either directly or through the low frequency offset channel stepper, where the high frequency channel stepper is adapted to selectively shift frequency in steps substantially equal to the selected increment. A controller is adapted to (a) selectively connect the high frequency channel stepper directly to the receiver when the device is in a camping mode not transmitting a signal, (b) selectively connect the high frequency channel stepper to the receiver through the low frequency offset channel stepper and cause the low frequency offset channel stepper to shift frequency the normal duplex spacing when the device is in a normal communicating mode, and (c) selectively connect the high frequency channel stepper to the receiver through the low frequency offset channel stepper and cause the low frequency offset channel stepper to shift frequency on the incrementally spaced grid when the device is in a slotted communicating mode. The controller controls a switch for connecting or disconnecting the low frequency offset channel stepper from the receiver.

Title: Method and device responsive to myoelectrical activity for triggering ventilatory support
Inventor: SINDERBY CHRISTER
IPC: A61B5/0488
Filed: 1999-02-26
Abstract: A method and device for triggering ventilatory support to assist the patient's respiration. Myoelectrical activity of a patient's respiratory-related muscle is sensed to detect respiratory effort, and to produce a myoelectrical signal representative of the sensed muscle myoelectrical activity. Respiratory flow and pressure can also be measured to produce respective respiratory pressure and respiratory flow signals. A logic trigger circuit triggers ventilatory support in relation to the myoelectrical signal, respiratory flow signal and/or respiratory pressure signal to assist respiration of the patient. The amplitude of the myolectrical signal is compared to a given threshold, and ventilatory support is triggered when the amplitude of the myoelectrical signal is higher than this threshold. Increment of myoelectrical signal amplitude can also be detected to trigger ventilatory support, while decrement of the myoelectrical signal amplitude can be detected to request non-triggering of the ventilatory support.
