20150192003 | METHOD FOR ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY USING CYCLIC STEAM STIMULATION AND ELECTROMAGNETIC HEATING - A method for enhanced oil recovery using cyclic steam stimulation (CSS) and electromagnetic heating (EMH). One or more CSS cycles are conducted on a subsurface hydrocarbon reservoir in order to dilate the reservoir and improve permeability, followed by EMH application for thermal recovery of the hydrocarbon to surface. The alternating process can be repeated as desired while economically viable. The method is particularly applicable to produce heavy hydrocarbons such as bitumen or heavy oil from a heterogeneous reservoir that has low permeability. | 07-09-2015 |

20160094441 | MINIMIZING NETWORK BANDWIDTH FOR TDM CES - A method and system are provided for reducing bandwidth usage in TDM CES systems. When a transmitting router receives a signal that the status of the access circuit is other than “normal”, and that therefore any TDM data arriving over the access circuit is not valid, the transmitting router signals a receiving router at the far end of a TDM Pseudowire that no packets for the TDM Pseudowire will be sent, and does not send any packets over the TDM Pseudowire, not even packets with empty payloads. When the receiving router receives such a signal, it starts to generate its own packets for placing in its jitter buffer. Valid packets already within the jitter buffer are played out to the access port, but once this runs out dummy packets placed in the jitter buffer by the router are played out. In this way, the jitter buffer maintains its fill level even when no packets are being sent across the TDM Pseudowire. Only when the transmitting router receives notification that the status of its access circuit has returned to normal does the transmitting router signal the receiving router that status has returned to normal, and begins sending packets once again. The method and system thereby reduce the bandwidth usage in TDM CES systems by refraining from needlessly sending meaningless packets over the TDM-Pseudowire. | 03-31-2016 |
20160094482 | MINIMIZING NETWORK BANDWIDTH FOR VOICE SERVICES OVER TDM CES - A method and system are provided for reducing bandwidth usage in TDM CES systems conveying analog data, such as voice data. A transmitting router receiving TDM frames for packetization monitors the digitized analog data in the TDM frames. If the analog data has not changed beyond a configured threshold for a configured length of time, the transmitting router signals the receiving router at the far end of a TDM Pseudowire that no packets for the TDM Pseudowire will be sent. The transmitting router does not send any packets over the TDM Pseudowire, not even packets with empty payloads. The receiving router a receiving such a signal starts to generate its own packets for placing in its jitter buffer. Valid data already within the jitter buffer is played out to the access port, but once this runs out dummy packets placed in the jitter buffer by the receiving router are played out. In this way the jitter buffer maintains its fill level even when no packets are being sent across the TDM Pseudowire. The transmitting router continues to monitor the received digitized analog data, and only when it determines that the analog data has changed beyond the threshold does the transmitting router signal the receiving router, and begins sending packets once again. The method and system thereby reduce the bandwidth usage in TDM CES systems conveying analog data by refraining from needlessly sending packets over the TDM-Pseudowire when the analog data is not changing. | 03-31-2016 |

20110310773 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR FAIL-SAFE CALL SURVIVAL - The present invention provides a system and method for fail-safe call survival by detecting failure of an active call serving component and switching the service over to a standby component. The system and method will prevent an existing call, whether established or to be established, from being dropped due to a single point of failure within a Voice over Internet Protocol system. The continuation of the call is based on the failed component as opposed to relying on communication endpoints to re-initiate or re-route the failed call. Call recovery is initiated independent from the call path of a call. The detection of a condition or need for call recovery and the determination to initiate call recovery procedures are made without involving endpoints or intermediate points of the call. The availability and sanity of all components are continuously monitored and are tailored specifically for the duties of each component. | 12-22-2011 |
