20120060740 | Method and Apparatus for Retracting Mooring Lines - A boat mooring line dispenser comprises a reel onto which a mooring line or a respective mooring line (if there is more than one reel) can be wound. The reel has resilient biasing means urging it to rotate in a direction such as to wind in the line. A unidirectional clutch mechanism acts, when engaged, in opposition to the resilient biasing means so that the line can be drawn out and will remain in its extended condition. The unidirectional clutch can be released selectively to cause the line to be withdrawn automatically by winding it onto the reel by the resilient biasing means. A cleat, or jamming cleats secure the line when extended so that the moored vessel is held securely. A damper or brake prevents rewinding of the line at excessive speed. | 03-15-2012 |

20100124926 | METHOD FOR CONSIDERING THE SUBSCRIBER TYPE IN MOBILITY AND RADIO RESOURCE MANAGEMENT DECISIONS IN A RADIO ACCESS NETWORK - In order to efficiently allow mobility and radio resource management decisions on mobile networks the deciding entity (typically the radio access network) needs some understanding about the type of mobile user. In current cellular systems the radio network has only limited to null information about subscription dependent details of the mobile users. The proposed invention relates to a mobile system where a generic information container is defined which is applicable per UE in order to convey subscription related information from the core network to the radio access network which can be used to steer the user to an appropriate cell or for any other Radio Resource Management (RRM) related procedure/decision. It is proposed to define an information element (herein referred as “subscriber type”) which allows an indication or pointer to a set of rules which are locally defined in involved no'des (e.g. CN SGSN, MSC, routers etc) and describe the “handling rules” to be applied in the RAN for each user of the mobile system independently. | 05-20-2010 |

20120173196 | SYSTEM FOR DETERMINATION OF DOWNHOLE POSITION - A measurement means for a downhole tool for determining the orientation of the axis of a downhole tool in relation to true north. It includes a gyro sensor capable of measuring angular rate, a rotation means for rotating the gyro sensor about a sensor axis, a measurement means to detect the angular rate at the gyro sensor as it is rotated to form a series of readings, and a processor capable of interpreting the signal amplitude from the series of readings and determining the points of greatest signal amplitude. The processor is also being capable of comparing the phase difference between the actual readings taken against what would be generated with the sensor pointing true north thus providing a downhole tool axis angular deviation from true north.
