  • Current Injection Via Capacitive Coupling
    Publication number: 20200278469
    Abstract: A casing has a plurality of joints of pipe joined by a plurality of casing collars, and an outer surface. A high-frequency alternating current (AC) source electrically is coupled to the casing. A coating of insulating material covers the entire outer surface of the casing. The coating has an opening that exposes a casing portion. The casing and the coating of insulating material define a capacitive electrode having an impedance Zf with a magnitude |Zf| at the frequency of operation f of the high-frequency AC source. Zf is low enough to allow current from the high-frequency AC source to be injected from the casing through the coating of insulating material into a surrounding formation. The casing portion has a resistance R to direct current (DC) with a magnitude that is very large compared to |Zf|.

  • OBTAINING ENVIRONMENT INFORMATION IN A COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT
    Publication number: 20200218547
    Abstract: Techniques for obtaining environment information are disclosed. In an embodiment, a host that has not yet completed a boot process obtains information (also referred to as “environment information”) about facilities that are available for use in a computing environment. The host does not need any functionality that is enabled through a complete boot process to obtain the environment information. The environment information is used for configuring a system service or application on the host, prior to initialization of the system service or application. Initializing the system service or application with such configurations prepares the system service or application to interact with the existing facilities. In an embodiment, a validator validates functional requirements for a computing environment. The validator obtains the environment information.

  • Second stage turbine nozzle
    Patent number: 10590782
    Abstract: A turbine nozzle having an airfoil profile substantially in accordance with Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y, and Z set forth in Table 1, and within an envelope of approximately ?0.067 to +0.101 inches, where the X and Y values are in inches and the Z values are non-dimensional values from 0 to 1 and convertible to Z distances in inches by multiplying the Z values by the height of the airfoil in inches. The X and Y values are distances which, when connected by smooth continuing arcs, define airfoil profile sections at each distance Z. The profile sections at each distance Z are joined smoothly to one another to form the airfoil shape. The X and Y values may also be scaled as a function of a first constant and the Z values may be scaled as a function of a second constant.

  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IDENTIFYING ARTICLES WITH A LUMINESCENT MARKER FOR RECYCLING
    Publication number: 20200038915
    Abstract: The composition of articles can be identified using luminescent codes printed or coated onto the articles (or labels on the articles) by means of an ink which contains long persistence luminescent materials. Radiation is used to excite the luminescent materials and this is then extinguished before the article passes beneath a spectrometer. An infrared beam then strikes the article in order to stimulate emission from the long persistence luminescent materials, via a detrapping mechanism, and the spectrometer detects the emission in order to identify the article.
