| 20100008631 | DOWNHOLE CABLES WITH BOTH FIBER AND COPPER ELEMENTS - Provided is a method of manufacturing a downhole cable, the method including, forming a helical shape in an outer circumferential surface of a metal tube, the metal tube having a fiber element housed therein, and stranding a copper element in a helical space formed by the metallic tube. Also provided is a downhole cable including, a metallic tube having a helical space in an outer circumferential surface thereof, wherein the metallic tube has a fiber element housed therein, and a copper element disposed in a helical space formed by the steel tube. Double-tube and multi-tube configurations of the downhole cable are also provided. | 01-14-2010 |
| 20100008632 | BREATHABLE DOWNHOLE FIBER OPTIC CABLE AND A METHOD OF RESTORING PERFORMANCE - A breathable downhole fiber optic cable is provided having an outer protective tube; a fiber optic tube having a plurality of optical fibers contained therein; at least one annulus disposed between the outer protective tube and the fiber optic tube; and at least one path, extending through the length of the fiber optic cable, which provides a channel for a purge gas to flow for removing a second gas, such as hydrogen, from the fiber optic cable. | 01-14-2010 |
| 20110058778 | CABLE INCLUDING STRAIN-FREE FIBER AND STRAIN-COUPLED FIBER - A cable including a strain free and strain coupled optical fiber is provided. The disclosed cable provides a single device that can perform both strain and temperature measurements in a distributed manner and provide accurate results for the actual strain on the cable. | 03-10-2011 |

| 20100014819 | TAPERED CABLE FOR USE IN FIBER TO THE PREMISES APPLICATIONS - A tapered fiber optic distribution cable that includes a plurality of drop cables having at least one predetermined breakout location where a drop cable is withdrawn from the tapered distribution cable. The drop cables are bound together to form the tapered fiber optic distribution cable by binding members or helical winding. Each drop cable contains a plurality of optical fibers which may be preconnectorized according to a user's preferences. | 01-21-2010 |

| 20090034903 | STRAIN SENSING DEVICE AND METHOD OF MEASURING STRAIN - A strain sensing device has a sub-assembly with at least one optical fiber therein, and a metallic coating encasing the sub-assembly. The metallic coating is strain coupled to the sub-assembly. A strain sensing system and a method of anticipating failure in a structure are provided. The strain sensing system and method of anticipating failure in a structure use the strain on the strain sensing device to calculate the strain on a structure of interest. | 02-05-2009 |

| 20100235294 | System and Methods for Multi-Dimension Top Down Negotiation - The present invention relates to systems and methods for multi-dimensional top down negotiations. A user supplies negotiated deal dimensions to an allocator. The allocator may also be able to set some of the dimension values to a default value. A line item generator may then perform transformational algorithms on the negotiated deal dimensions to generate line items. A line item override module may then receive user overrides for specific line items, and update the line items using the overrides. This update may include the recalculating of other line items affected by the override. A summarizer may generate a deal summary using the updated line items. A normalization engine may also normalize the deal summary to current market value to facilitate comparisons of the deal summary. The deal summary may include any of a blended rate per hour, an income, a cost, a product margin, and a net present value. Further, the deal summary may be broken down by geography, period and resource type. | 09-16-2010 |
| 20100262548 | System and Methods for Multiple Pricing Comparison - The present invention relates to systems and methods for generating a deal summary including comparisons of different pricing methods. A user, or a multi-dimension top down negotiator system, supplies a time and materials quote to the system through a negotiation interface. A fixed price quote generator then utilizes the received time and materials quote to generate a fixed price quote. Likewise, a gain share quote generator utilizes the received time and materials quote to generate a gain share quote. The gain share quote may include a variable percentage share on future return on investment. A net present value calculator then generates the net present value for the generated quotes using expected future interest rates. A deal summary generator compiles the net present values for the quotes into a deal summary for comparison purposes. This deal summary is utilized to answer a request for proposal. A pricing method optimizer may select the most profitable pricing method from the time and materials quote, the fixed price quote and the gain share quote. | 10-14-2010 |
