Abstract: Method of removing casing from a well, in which an annulus between the outside of the casing and the inside of a surrounding downhole body is at least partially filled by debris, the perforated section of casing is washed in casing lengths shorter than the perforation length and an attempt made to pull the casing after each shorter length is washed. If the casing is free after washing only a shorter section of the perforated section of casing then it can be recovered and saves the washing time. A bottom hole assembly is described which includes a downhole power tool to exert a greater force to pull the section of casing between washing steps.

Abstract: An indoor mapping system utilizing beacons is described. The system includes a premises map, a beacon disposed within the premises, a plurality of measured signal strengths, and a wireless device. The beacon location is layered on the map, and the measured signal strengths are captured from the beacon. The wireless device includes an indoor positioning module, and the wireless device receives a beacon signal when it is within a broadcast range of the beacon. The wireless device determines a signal strength of the received beacon signal. The indoor positioning module associates the measured signal strengths with their corresponding beacon location. The beacon location is further associated with a plurality of calculated signal strengths that are generated from the measured signal strengths. The indoor positioning module determines that the wireless device is at a location by comparing the received beacon identifiers and signal strengths with the calculated signal strengths.

Abstract: Disclosed are apparatus and methods for securely holding a substrate in a repeatable and predictable manner regardless of substrate inconsistencies or deformities. In particular, described are apparatus and methods for consistently, repeatedly, predictably and securely holding a microscope slide on or within an imaging device. The apparatus may include a holder having securing blocks for securely holding a microscope slide that can be adjusted to account for warpage or deformations that may occur in the microscope slide.

Abstract: Low data rate, low power, bi-directional transmissions may be provided over existing physical communication media (e.g., coaxial cables) using a portable network communications module and in the presence of higher bandwidth, higher power primary signals currently being transmitted over the communication media. The low data rate, low power, bi-directional transmissions may be accomplished using spread-spectrum modulated signals that are positioned in frequency relative to the primary signals, such that the low data rate, low power transmissions occur without detectable interference with the primary signals, which include multiplexed narrowband modulated signals. The primary signals may be modulated using quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) and multiplexed using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and the spread-spectrum modulated signals may be chirp spread spectrum (CSS) modulated signals modulated using Gaussian frequency shift keying (GFSK).

Abstract: A downhole actuator (16) includes a piston (15) within a chamber (17) on which fluid can act on either side to hydraulically activate the actuator. A hydrostatic equilibrium device (18) and a valve (14) are mounted around the hydraulic actuator. With a radial port (28) of the hydrostatic equilibrium device closed and the valve closed to seal the string, pumping fluid through the string operates the actuator. Pressure overbalance prevents movement of the piston (15). The radial port (28) is opened to drain fluid from the string until equilibrium is reached with the annular volume and the piston (15) can be moved.

Abstract: Automatic gain control (AGC) may be accomplished in a radio frequency (RF) amplifier in a hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) network using a wideband RF tuner to select multiple pilot channels (e.g., frequencies in lower and upper portions of an RF signals spectrum) for use in measuring power and determining a correction to be applied to the RF amplifier. The power of the pilot channel or channels may be measured, for example, using a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) from the wideband RF tuner or using a power detector circuit. Using the wideband RF tuner allows selectable gain and/or tilt control across a wideband spectrum, such as a channel spectrum of a CATV downstream RF signal, to maintain stable RF output levels of the amplifier as RF input levels vary. The RF amplifier may be a line extender amplifier used in a CATV HFC network to amplify a wideband RF spectrum of up to 1.8 GHz.

Abstract: A method of recovering casing from a wellbore in which: a logging tool is run to an estimated stuck point of the casing through the central bore of the casing spear and casing cutter; the casing spear is attached to the casing and tension applied so that logging can be performed over a length at an estimated stuck point both with and without tension to provide the verified stuck point; and the casing cutter is positioned relative to this to cut the free casing; and the spear used to remove it. The method can be performed on a single trip. Embodiments include incorporating a packer to circulate fluid during casing cutting; a disconnect, anchor mechanism and motor to allow use of a motor to operate the cutter; and a Down Hole Power Tool with a method of establishing the required force to recover a length of stuck casing.
