Abstract: A method for detecting and diagnosing disease states in a body part is described. The method starts with a preparatory step of modeling the body part as a grid of many finite elements, then calculating an electrical property between two finite elements at which current from two corresponding electrodes flows through the body part. This is termed the weight (influence) of the element. With this baseline information, electrical impedance measurements made at the plurality of electrodes on the periphery of the body part can be used in a diagnostic module to calculate a Weighted Element Value (WEVal) for each element. In a preferred embodiment of invention, the difference in WEVal magnitude between corresponding elements of homologous body parts serves as an indicator of the presence of disease.

Abstract: An improved method and/or apparatus for completing a wellbore is provided. In one embodiment, a method of lining a pre-drilled wellbore is provided. The method includes the act of providing a casing assembly, the casing assembly including a string of casing; and a retractable joint comprising an inner tubular and an outer tubular. The method further includes the acts of running the casing assembly into the pre-drilled wellbore and actuating the retractable joint, thereby reducing the length of the casing assembly through movement between the inner and outer tubulars.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for reducing surge pressure while running casing into a wellbore. The apparatus includes a running string for running casing having a diverter tool therein. The diverter tool has one or more bypass ports between its upper and lower end which are normally closed. In operation, the diverter tool is automatically cycled between the open and closed positions of the bypass ports during a casing running operation. A pressure event inside the diverter tool deactivates the cyclic opening and closing function of the bypass port.

Abstract: Each bitslice multiplexing structure of a rotator circuit is configured as a plurality of first stage 8:1 multiplexers each receiving eight of the rotator circuits as inputs and one second-stage 8:1 multiplexer receiving the outputs of the first-stage multiplexers are inputs. To achieve the desired functionality with a single set of shift input signals, the rotator inputs to the first-stage multiplexers are changed for different bitslice multiplexing structures within the rotator, and the connection of the first-stage multiplexer outputs to the second-stage multiplexer inputs are changed for different groups of bitslice multiplexing structures. The first-stage multiplexers are positioned between two input buses running across the entire width of the rotator circuit.

Abstract: An anti-charge share device and method for operation ensure that charge share protection is provided for nodes in a logic circuit during an evaluate stage with low costs in terms of power and circuit performance. The anti-charge sharing device includes a transistor coupled between pre-charge node and a second node being evaluated. By coupling the charge share device between the pre-charge node and the node to be evaluated, operation of the charge share device is dependent upon a node which no longer requires a charge-sharing protection.

Abstract: An approach for determining whether a current address is within an address range in which both the starting address of the range and the size of the address range are determined by variable register contents. Whereas the information in the variable register contents is in binary format, the current address is in a 2B format. The present invention provides logic for translating the binary formatted information so that it can be compared to the 2B formatted current address.

The dynamic scannable latch circuit includes a group of scannable latch circuits for serially reading data from high-speed memory arrays during memory-testing cycles wherein each scannable latch circuit provides a scan output to a scan input of a second or next scannable latch circuit in a series of scannable latch circuits. In addition, the dynamic scannable latch circuit includes sensing and combination circuits for sensing the presence of the data-bearing bitlines and for combining the data-bearing bitlines into a memory array output wherein the sensing and combination circuits are coupled to the group of scannable latch circuits. In addition, the sensing and combination circuits further include NAND circuits integrated into a front end of the dynamic scannable latch circuit.

Abstract: An annular extrusion die for extruding tubular thermoplastic materials, such as foamed thermoplastic, which incorporates an internal spider mandrel and a novel choke ring for eliminating striations in the extruded thermoplastic material while imparting an improved control over the uniformity in the gauge or thickness of the extruded plastic material. In order to more accurately control the uniformity in the gauge of the extruded plastic material, rather than varying the width of the gap or restriction in the die flow passageway formed by the choke ring which, in response to even minor changes in the gap width considerably changes the flow quantity, may overcompensate or overcontrol variations in the gauge thickness; there is varied the length of the land of the choke ring in the direction of material flow, in effect, in the machine direction, downstream of the spiders supporting the internal mandrel.
