  • Publication number: 20150009041
    Abstract: A wellbore communication system (1) comprises a downhole tool (2) having a downhole transmitter (40), a sensing element (22, 122, 222, . . . , 1022) located at surface and coupled to a surface receiver (44), and an insulated slickline (6, 106, 206, . . . , 1006) having an electrically conductive core surrounded by an insulating coating. The slickline is attached to the downhole tool and coupled to the downhole transmitter. The sensing element is capacitively coupled to the slickline so as to permit movement of the slickline relative thereto and so as to an electric field to extend from the core of the slickline through the insulating coating to the sensing element for transmission of information from the downhole transmitter to the surface receiver via the slickline and the sensing element.

  • Publication number: 20120308186
    Abstract: A transfer member assembly 2 comprises a transfer member 4 for the transfer of a signal, power or fluid such as an optical fibre, an electrical conductor or a gas or hydraulic line. The transfer member assembly 2 comprises a shroud 6 formed around the transfer member 4 and a composite material 8 comprising a matrix formed around the shroud 6. The composite material 8 comprises longitudinal fibres in a resin matrix. The resin matrix penetrates at least part-way into the shroud 6. The penetration of the matrix into the shroud 6 is controlled during manufacture of the transfer member assembly 2, for example by controlling shroud permeability or by controlling the resin viscosity or pressure utilised in a pultrusion process utilised to form the composite.

  • Publication number: 20120256926
    Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods for gesture, text, and shape recognition based data visualization are described herein. The technique allows quick show of graphic representations of data in a very intuitive user interface, focusing on devices such as but not limited to touchable screens and interactive white boards. In one aspect, a shape recognition engine transforms strokes into charts and a text recognition engine transforms text queries into actual data queries. Then the output from the two engines is combined into a graphic representation of data.

  • Publication number: 20080053165
    Abstract: Method for reducing energy consumption in a laundry machine of the automatic type and comprising: a washing means to be rotatively driven by an electric motor during the agitation and spinning phases, and a control means which is operatively associated with the electric motor so as to instruct energization thereof. Said method comprises the steps of: providing energization of the electric motor upon start of each rotation of the washing means in a direction, with a certain percentage of the effective voltage of the electric power supply; maintaining the full energization of the electric motor during a predetermined period of time with an effective voltage at least equal to the certain percentage of the effective voltage of electric power supply to allow the electric motor and the washing means to reach a desired rotation regime; and adjusting the effective voltage applied to the electric motor to a value sufficient to maintain a desired rotation regime of the washing means.
