Abstract: A heave compensation system that facilitates the transfer of pipe between a floating platform and a snubbing jack. The heave compensation system includes a first end connected to the floating platform and a second end in connection with a traveling slip assembly of the snubbing jack, the heave compensation system is operable between a disengaged position and an engaged position. When the heave compensation system is in the disengaged position the traveling slip assembly moves separate and independent from the movement of the floating platform, and when the heave compensation system is in the engaged position the traveling slip assembly is locked in a constant position relative to the floating platform.

Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for using phase shift to determine valid neighbors in a wireless communication system. A phase difference, measured at an access terminal, between an expected phase and an observed phase of a pilot signal from a given wireless service site is used to determine a differential distance. The differential distance corresponds to a difference between (i) the distance from the access terminal to the given wireless service site and (ii) the distance from the access terminal to a serving wireless service site. The expected phase is taken to be that of a known neighbor site of the access terminal, based on a postulation that the given site is the neighbor site. Upon a determination that the differential distance does not exceed a threshold distance, the given wireless service site is confirmed as being the neighbor site.
