  • Method of reducing zone permeability by in-situ formation gel of urotropin and urea in an aqueous solution
    Patent number: 9260955
    Abstract: Mineral oil is produced from underground mineral oil deposits by injecting one or more flooding media into an injection well and withdrawing mineral oil from a production well. Highly permeable zones are blocked in the region between the injection well and the production well by separately injecting, in succession, two different aqueous formulations, one having water and urotropin and the other having water and urea, through the injection well into the deposit. The two different aqueous formulations mix in the formation after injection to form viscous gels. Either or both formulations have at least one further metal or semimetal compound that can form gels when admixed with bases. The injection well temperature is not more than 60° C.

  • Data processor and a data processing method
    Patent number: 9262466
    Abstract: A data processor and a data processing method are provided. The data processor is arranged between a client and a database system to determine in advance whether a user instruction sent from the client updates data of the database system. When the data processor determines that the user instruction does not update data of the database system, the data processor sends the predefined data to the client and restrains the user instruction to the database system. Accordingly, the data processor can assist the database system to process the user instruction, so as to reduce in advance the enormous volume of data processing that the database system is requested upon.

  • Method and apparatus for phase shift keyed optical communications
    Patent number: 9264147
    Abstract: A burst-mode phase shift keying (PSK) communications system according to an embodiment of the present invention enables practical, power-efficient, multi-rate communications between an optical transmitter and receiver. Embodiments may operate on differential PSK (DPSK) signals. An embodiment of the system utilizes a single interferometer in the receiver with a relative path delay that is matched to the DPSK symbol rate of the link. DPSK symbols are transmitted in bursts, and the data rate may be varied by changing the ratio of the burst-on time to the burst-off time. This approach offers a number of advantages over conventional DPSK implementations, including near-optimum photon efficiency over a wide range of data rates, simplified multi-rate transceiver implementation, and relaxed transmit laser line-width requirements at low data rates.

  • Non-linear vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser equalization
    Patent number: 9263854
    Abstract: Technologies are generally described for implementing non-linear VCSEL equalization. In some examples, a rising edge tap parameter, a falling edge tap parameter, an equalization delay and a bias current may be used to equalize a data signal to be output from a VCSEL. A VCSEL model may be used to derive a VCSEL response to one or more isolated data pulses. The derived response may then be used to determine the rising and falling edge tap parameters and an equalization delay, based on a bias current value for the VCSEL and a data rate associated with the data signal. The data signal may then be adjusted based on the equalization delay and the rising and falling edge tap parameter and sent to the VCSEL for output. At the same time, the VCSEL may be biased with a bias current having the bias current value.
