20110261101 | Method and Apparatus for Droplet Deposition - A method for depositing droplets onto a substrate employs an apparatus, such as an inkjet printhead, the apparatus having: an array of channels, acting as fluid chambers, separated by interspersed walls, with each channel communicating with an aperture or nozzle for the release of droplets of a fluid contained within the channel, such as ink. Each of the walls separates two neighbouring channels and is actuable such that, in response to a first voltage, it will deform so as to decrease the volume of one channel and increase the volume of the other channel, and, in response to a second voltage, it will deform so as to cause the opposite effect on the volumes of the neighbouring channels. The method includes the steps of: receiving input data, such as an array of image data pixels; assigning, based on the input data, all the channels within the array as either firing channels or non-firing channels so as to produce groups of one or more contiguous firing channels separated by groups of one or more contiguous non-firing channels; actuating the walls of certain channels so that, for each non-firing chamber, either the walls move with the same sense or they remain stationary, and, for each firing chamber, either the walls move with opposing senses, or one wall is stationary while the other is moved. These actuations result in each of the firing channels releasing at least one droplet of fluid, the resulting droplets forming dots disposed on a straight line on said substrate, for example so as to form a representation of a line of image data pixels. The dots are separated on the line by gaps corresponding to the non-firing channels. | 10-27-2011 |
20110261119 | Method and Apparatus for Droplet Deposition - A method for depositing droplets onto a substrate employs an apparatus, such as an inkjet printhead, the apparatus having: an array of channels, acting as fluid chambers, separated by interspersed walls, with each channel communicating with an aperture or nozzle for the release of droplets of a fluid contained within the channel, such as ink. Each of the walls separates two neighbouring channels and is actuable such that, in response to a first voltage, it will deform so as to decrease the volume of one channel and increase the volume of the other channel, and, in response to a second voltage, it will deform so as to cause the opposite effect on the volumes of the neighbouring channels. The method includes the steps of: receiving input data, such as an array of image data pixels; selecting pairs of adjacent channels based on the input data; assigning the selected pairs of adjacent channels as firing channels and the remaining channels as non-firing channels. While the pairs of firing channels may generally have any spacing, one of the pairs of firing channels is spaced apart from another of the pairs of firing channels by an odd number of non-firing channels. Within each of these selected pairs, the separating wall of that pair is actuated so as to cause the release of at least one droplet from each of said firing channels. The actuations for all the pairs overlap in time so as to ensure a high level of throughput or printing speed. | 10-27-2011 |

20120022837 | Smoothing Of Stair-Stepped Geometry In Grids - Smoothing stair-stepped geometry in grids is described. An example system modifies grid cells in a geologic grid model to convert a stair-stepped approximation of a geologic feature into a smooth representation of the geologic feature. The system determines approximately horizontal segments within a stair-stepped pattern that are intersected by the true surface of the geologic feature as defined by model data. The system then extends approximately vertical segments between intersected horizontal segments to the nearest cell boundaries. Cell nodes defining the endpoints of these extended vertical segments are then repositioned to the true surface of the geologic feature, while horizontal segments are collapsed.

20090139766 | Methods of Perforation Using Viscoelastic Surfactant Fluids and Associated Compositions - The invention provides a method for perforating a well with a perforating fluid comprising a viscoelastic surfactant that essentially stops fluid leak-off after perforation in an overbalanced condition. Another aspect of the invention provides the perforating fluid in itself. The well has a wellbore defined by a generally cylindrical casing in at least a portion of the wellbore (i.e., the wellbore is cased, although it is not necessary cased in its entire length). The wellbore passes through a subterranean formation that comprises hydrocarbon formation fluids (such as oil and/or gas), at least in certain strata. The method comprises placing a perforating device in a wellbore which includes at least one explosive perforating charge that can be detonated in order to perforate the casing and allow the formation fluids to enter the wellbore. The casing is located between the subterranean formation and the perforating device. A perforating fluid including at least one viscoelastic surfactant is placed in the wellbore between the perforating device and the casing, in at least a portion of the wellbore. In other words, the perforating fluid is present in the wellbore adjacent to the perforating device. The explosive charge(s) in the perforating device is detonated, such that the perforating device forms at least one perforation in the casing that permits the flow of hydrocarbon formation fluids from the subterranean formation into the wellbore. As a result of the detonation, at least a portion of the perforating fluid is put in communication with the subterranean formation. | 06-04-2009 |

20110282023 | METHYL METHACRYLATE PURIFICATION PROCESS - A process for purifying methyl methacrylate (MMA) is described. The process involves contacting liquid MMA having impurities therein with a sulphonic acid resin, in the presence of formaldehyde or a suitable source of methylene or ethylene of formula I. R | 11-17-2011 |
20120059073 | PROCESS FOR THE TREATMENT OF AN ION EXCHANGE RESIN - A process for the reactivation of an acidic ion exchange resin is described. The invention relates to the treatment of an at least partially deactivated resin which has been deactivated by contact with an impure ethylenically unsaturated acid or ester containing target impurities. The reactivation includes the step of contacting the at least partially deactivated resin with an alcohol to thereby increase the activity thereof. The invention extends to reactivating a resin deactivated by contact with an impure ethylenically unsaturated acid, ester or nitrile containing target impurities by contacting the at least partially deactivated resin with an alcohol and a carboxylic acid to thereby increase the activity thereof. A reactivated resin and a process for preparing and purifying an ethylenically unsaturated acid or ester of the following formula:— R | 03-08-2012 |
