Abstract: A method of reconditioning potatoes is disclosed. Over a time period of 1 week or more, potatoes are stored in a controlled environment having a temperature of >=10° C. and an atmosphere comprising ethylene at a concentration greater than 0.1 ppm. A corresponding system is also disclosed.

Abstract: A computer controlled heave compensation wireline logging winch system and method of use that compensates for the effects of wave motion on floating installations performing wireline logging measurements. A wireline winch and wireline cable with a logging measurement tool attached is installed on a floating installation. Vessel vertical movement is measured and is physically compensated for by a change in speed of the wireline cable so that the logging data is obtained at a controlled speed. Any error in this physical compensation is detected by a depth measurement system and is used to adjust the true depth at which the logging tool measurements are being recorded.
