Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080203734Wellbore rig generator engine power control - A system for controlling power load to a rig engine of a wellbore rig, the system including a controller for controlling a rig engine, a sensor for sensing the exhaust temperature of a rig engine, the sensor in communication with the controller for providing to the controller signals indicative of the exhaust temperature, and the controller maintaining power load to the rig engine based on said exhaust temperature. This abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract which will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims, 37 CFR 1.72(b).08-28-2008
20080256784Methods for making rotors for permanent magnet motors - A method for making a rotor for a permanent magnet motor, the method, in at least certain aspects, including connecting a series of a plurality of guides to a hollow rotor body, the guides spaced-apart and extending longitudinally of the rotor body, the rotor body being generally cylindrical with an interior surface, applying a plurality of magnets to the interior surface of the rotor body, and emplacing a shunt structure over the plurality of magnets to inhibit inter-magnet action during rotor assembly.10-23-2008
20080267785Drill rig apparatuses with directly driven shaft & drilling fluid pump systems - A drilling rig system with a main shaft or shaft-like structure driven directly by an AC motor; the system in one aspect for pumping fluid (e.g., but not limited to, drilling fluid), the system having, in certain aspects, pump apparatus with a pumping section and a motor section, the pumping section having an inlet and an outlet, the motor section having a drive shaft for connection to a pump pinion shaft for reciprocating in and out of the pumping section to alternately suck fluid into the inlet and pump fluid out the outlet, and the motor being directly connected to the pump pinion shaft, and methods for using such a system.10-30-2008
20110074165Welbore Rig Generator Engine Power Control - A system for controlling power load to a rig engine of a wellbore rig. The system includes a controller for controlling the rig engine, a sensor for sensing the exhaust temperature of the rig engine, the sensor in communication with the controller for providing to the controller signals indicative of the exhaust temperature. The controller maintains the power load to the rig engine based on the exhaust temperature.03-31-2011

20110069748Measuring Bit-Error-Rates of Forward Error Correction Code Encoded Signals - A device may include one or more components and a processor. The one or more components may obtain bit-error-rates of a signal and signal-to-noise ratios of the signal. The processor may select a target signal-to-noise ratio for the signal, determine a target noise level based on the target signal-to-noise ratio, set a noise level of the signal to the target noise level, determine a signal-to-noise ratio of the signal via the one or more components, adjust the noise level of the signal based on the determined signal-to-noise ratio, to stabilize the signal-to-noise ratio, determine a bit-error-rate of the signal via the one or more components, and record the bit-error-rate.03-24-2011

20110288918Systems and Methods for Redemption of Offers - In one aspect, a computing apparatus is configured to automate the redemption of offers, such as manufacturer coupons, which require the purchase of specific items identified in the offers for their redemption. The computing apparatus is to store offers in connection with accounts of users (e.g., credit cards, debit cards, prepaid cards). When the accounts are used to make purchases, the authorization response messages from the transaction handler may include indicators to request purchase details, if the corresponding accounts have associated offers pending for redemption. When the purchase details show that the users have made the purchases required for the redemption of the offers, the benefits of the offers are provided to the accounts of the users via statement credits. Optional email or mobile alerts may be provided to the users to report the automated redemption of the offers.11-24-2011
