Abstract: A casing valve, comprising a first component configured to connect to a casing string, a second component configured to connect to the casing string, a mandrel disposed between the first component and the second component, the mandrel having a plurality of ports, a housing disposed outside of the mandrel, the housing having a plurality of ports, a piston disposed between the mandrel and the housing and configured to move in a first direction from a first position that forms a barrier between the ports of the mandrel and the ports of the housing to a second position that is adjacent to the ports of the mandrel and the ports of the housing and a dissolvable component configured to restrain the piston in the first position and to dissolve when exposed to a fluid to increase a lateral force on the piston.

Abstract: An active matrix display device having an array of LC picture elements (12), with associated switching means (25), addressed in row sequential fashion via sets of row and column address lines (14, 16) includes in its drive circuit a data signal adjustment circuit (40) which adjusts data signals before application to the column lines (16) so as to compensate for anticipated effects of vertical and lateral forms of cross-talk due to stray capacitive couplings in the picture element array. A correction value for a picture element data signal is derived in the adjustment circuit (40) according to the values of data signals intended over a subsequent field period for other picture elements in the same column and one or both adjacent columns, and the relevant capacitive coupling factors. The display device may be of the type using TFTs, TFDs or a plasma-addressed display device.

Abstract: An active matrix liquid crystal display device having a row and column array of picture elements which each include a switching device and which are driven by a drive circuit via sets of row and column address conductors to which selection and data signals are applied respectively, includes a data signal adjustment circuit which adjusts a data signal intended for a picture element prior to its application to the column conductor and according to a compensation value derived from the values of data signals intended for other picture elements using the same column conductor in the period until the picture element is next addressed so as to compensate for the subsequent effects of vertical cross-talk due to capacitive coupling effects at the picture element. In determining the compensating adjustment, blanking intervals in an applied video signal and current leakage effects can also be taken into account.
