20130191604 | MEMORY ACCESS FOR DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING - Memory access in a digital signal processing system is described. In one example, the digital signal processing system comprises a multi-port memory that is constructed from a memory interface connected to a number of single-port memory devices. The memory interface provides access ports that processors can use to access data stored on the single-port memory devices using a single address space. A processor can be connected to several access ports, and use these to request access to data at several different memory addresses at the same time. The digital signal processing system is configured such that the total number of single-port memory devices connected to the memory interface is a prime number greater than or equal to three. Because a prime number of memory devices are used, the likelihood of the data for the different memory addresses being on the same single-port memory device is minimised, increasing memory access speed. | 07-25-2013 |
20140218222 | AUTOMATIC GAIN CONTROL SYSTEM FOR AN ANALOG TO DIGITAL CONVERTER - Methods and circuits for controlling an automatic gain control (AGC) circuit wherein the AGC circuit is used to adjust the gain of a signal input to an analog to digital converter.

If the amplitude of a sample is greater than the threshold amplitude value then a counter value is incremented. The target average amplitude of the automatic gain control circuit is then periodically adjusted based on the counter value. | 08-07-2014 |

20110317791 | OFDM receivers - A method and apparatus for filtering a received Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexed (ODFM) signal to reduce noise. The ODFM signal includes a plurality of symbols n in the time direction, each symbol including a plurality of sub-carriers k in the frequency direction, each a-th sub-carrier of each symbol being transmitted as a pilot sub-carrier with known amplitude and phase, and each symbol having its pilot sub-carriers spaced by b sub-carriers relative to the adjacent symbol. An m-tap filter is utilized for producing a filtered version of a selected pilot sub-carrier to be used in subsequent interpolation, by inputting into respective taps of the m-tap filter, m pilot sub-carriers surrounding the selected pilot sub-carrier. The m pilot sub-carriers each satisfy a relationship between n and k, wherein the relationship defines a diagonal line in the n-k plane. | 12-29-2011 |

20120043094 | Packoff With Internal Lockdown Mechanism - A packoff is located within a wellhead housing and a casing hanger. The packoff has an internal ratchet ring that engages a threaded profile on the exterior of the casing hanger thereby allowing installation of the packoff to be achieved by simply stabbing the packoff over the protruding neck of the casing hanger. This ratchet ring significantly reduces the rotation required during installation, decreasing potential for damage to seals. The casing hanger has an external lock ring that is inwardly biased. During installation of the packoff, the packoff acts to activate the lock ring to thereby force it outward. The lock ring is forced outward and into a recess formed in the interior of the wellhead housing. The lock ring and the ratchet ring locks the packoff and casing hanger into place with the wellhead housing without the need of external lockdown screws, thereby minimizing leak paths. | 02-23-2012 |

20090128649 | Reflectance Spectra Estimation and Colour Space Conversion Using Reference Reflectance Spectra - A Personal Computer (PC) adjusts a colour of an image received from a digital camera to produce an estimated reflectance spectrum and/or to convert the colour to a new colour space. First, an input compensation transform is generated, e.g. based on a Macbeth colour chart in the image, to compensate for the sensitivity of the camera used to generate the image to different wavelengths of light and the illumination spectrum incident on an object of interest to which the image relates. In order to estimate the reflectance spectrum, a reflectance spectrum estimation transform is then generated by the PC. In order to convert the colour of the image to the new colour space, a colour space conversion transform is generated by the PC. Both the reflectance spectrum estimation transform and the colour space conversion transform are based on the input compensation transform and reference reflectance spectra stored in a reference reflectance spectra database. | 05-21-2009 |

20110283968 | OIL SUPPLY SYSTEM FOR AN ENGINE - An oil supply system for a reciprocating piston internal combustion engine is disclosed in which the supply of oil to piston cooling jets is controlled by pressure operated valves designed to open at a pre-defined valve opening pressure. The pressure of oil supplied by a pump is controlled to be below this pre-defined valve opening pressure during operation of the engine in which piston cooling is not required, and the pressure of oil is controlled to above the pre-defined valve opening pressure when piston cooling is required. The control of the pump is by an electronic control unit based upon a combination of engine speed and engine load. | 11-24-2011 |

20130014561 | TESTING IMBIBITION OF FLUIDAANM ANDERSON; VALERIEAACI HARDWICKAACO GBAAGP ANDERSON; VALERIE HARDWICK GB - A convenient method of testing imbibition of one or more imbibant fluids by a matrix of particles with a fluid already therein, comprises making a body | 01-17-2013 |
20140157876 | MEASUREMENT OF FLUID PROPERTIES - A system and method for measuring physical properties of non-Newtonian fluids, such as fluids containing dispersed solid particulate material and having a yield stress. A fluid resistance member is moved through the non-Newtonian fluid sufficiently slowly that viscous drag on the member is negligible and fluid resistance is essentially due to the yield stress of the fluid. The torque required to maintain the movement of the member through the fluid is measured, and at least one physical property, other than apparent viscosity of the fluid, is determined by employing a known relationship between the measured torque and the physical property of interest. | 06-12-2014 |
20140184230 | MATRIX PERMITIVITY DETERMINATION (IS10.0565-US-PCT) - A method and system for determining a rock matrix dielectric permittivity. The method and system use a matching liquid with a temperature dependant permittivity. The matching liquid may be used in an automated and/or downhole system for measuring matrix dielectric permittivity of rock formations. | 07-03-2014 |

20120273273 | ANALYSIS OF DRILLING CUTTINGS FOR PERMITTIVITY - Systems and methods for analysis of drilling cuttings are described. Complex permittivity is measured of rock cutting samples obtained during drilling operations. The origin of the cuttings is known by flow rate analysis in the drilling system. Various means can be used for rock cutting dielectric measurement. For example, the dielectric measurement can be made by matching the unknown permittivity of the medium to be analyzed to the permittivity of known liquid mixtures by successive saturation and looking for a “zero-contrast” measurement. | 11-01-2012 |
