20080299549 | Methods and compositions for the detection of a nucleic acid by a cleavage reaction - The invention provides methods, compositions and kits for generating a signal indicative of the presence of a target nucleic acid sequence in a sample comprising forming a cleavage structure by incubating a sample comprising a target nucleic acid sequence with upstream and downstream oligonucleotides, and cleaving the cleavage structure with a nuclease to generate a signal. The presence of a detectable signal is indicative of the presence of a target nucleic acid sequence and a non-invasive cleavage structure. | 12-04-2008 |

20110084748 | FLIP-FLOP WITH SINGLE CLOCK PHASE AND WITH REDUCED DYNAMIC POWER - A flip-flop may include a first master stage for latching data, a second slave stage for latching data, and an input multiplexer circuit receiving, as input, data to be latched in the flip-flop. The multiplexer may have single clock phase. The first master stage may be clocked based upon a clock phase, whereas the second stage may be clocked based upon another clock phase. | 04-14-2011 |
20110291696 | Method for Protecting a Logic Circuit Against External Radiation and Associated Electronic Device - A method for protecting an electronic circuit having at least one output against external radiation includes functionally duplicating the electronic circuit and linking the outputs of the electronic circuit and the duplicated electronic circuit to homologous inputs of at least functionally equivalent combinatorial or sequential elements. The homologous outputs of all the combinatorial or sequential elements are linked together. The electronic circuit can be duplicated multiple times. | 12-01-2011 |
20120042292 | METHOD OF SYNTHESIS OF AN ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT - A method of synthesis of at least one logic device coupled between first and second supply voltages and having a plurality of inputs and an output, the logic device including a plurality of transistors having a standard gate length, the method including: identifying, in the at least one logic device, one or more transistors connected between the first or second supply voltage and the output node; and increasing the gate length of each of the identified one or more transistors. | 02-16-2012 |

20120303279 | Inclinometer to Determine Orientation of Gauge Installed Off Center Axis of a Tubing String - A method and apparatus for estimating an orientation of a downhole device conveyed into a well on a conveyance device is disclosed. The apparatus includes a first sensor and a second sensor placed circumferentially spaced apart on the device to provide measurements relating to a selected downhole parameter. A processor is configured to estimate the orientation of the downhole device using a phase difference between the measurements of the first sensor and the second sensor. | 11-29-2012 |
20140092235 | DOWNHOLE CAMERA AND LIGHTING APPARATUS AND METHOD - An illuminated camera apparatus can be used downhole in wellbores or other environments lacking ambient or available light. Light generated by a light emitting diode or other light source is pointed or reflected toward a glass light pipe that conveys such light past a camera or other visual image sensor. The conveyed light is diffused to evenly illuminate the surrounding environment into the field of view of the camera or other visual image sensor. At least one heat sink can be provided to absorb and/or retain heat, and isolate such heat from thermally sensitive components. | 04-03-2014 |
20140176697 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DATA TELEMETRY - A bidirectional telemetry system for data transfer over relatively long distances such as, for example, within an oil or gas well. Data is transferred via cable such as a single conductor cable used for the transmission of various types of logging data including, but not limited to, video signals, pressure and temperature information. A video or other signal can be electronically converted into an amplified current modulated telemetry equivalent, transmitted along a cable having a varied impedance characteristics, and electronically converted back into a compliant voltage modulated composite video standard. | 06-26-2014 |
