20090060517METHOD OF AND SYSTEM FOR POSITIONING FIRST AND SECOND DEVICES RELATIVE TO EACH OTHER - The invention relates to a method of locating a first device for wirelessly communicating with a second device relative to each other. The invention further relates to a system comprising a first device and a second device adapted for wirelessly communicating with each other. The object of the present invention is notify a user of an appropriate position of a first device relative to a second device with a view to ensuring proper wireless communication between them. The problem is solved in that one or more light sources are used to notify the user of appropriate locations of the two devices relative to each other according to a predifined correspondence scheme between appropriate beam patterns and distances between the devices The invention has the advantage of assisting a user in attaining a correct or appropriate distance between a first device (e.g. a programming device) and a second device (e.g. a device to be programmed). The invention may e.g. be used for programming or uploading data from a programming or server device to a portable audio device (e.g. a hearing aid) or to an entertainment device (e.g. a music player or a head set).03-05-2009

20090014171Method and an Apparatus for Separation and Injection of Water from a Water- and Hydrocarbon-Containing Outflow Down in a Production Well - A method and apparatus of separating, in a production well, water from a water- and hydrocarbon-containing production flow emanating from at least one surrounding production formation; and also of injecting, in the production well, a resulting water-containing liquid into at least one surrounding disposal formation, whilst a resulting hydrocarbon-containing liquid is produced out of the production well. The water-containing liquid is separated from the production flow by using at least one water separation device being exposed to a pressure difference (P01-15-2009
20100284828Gas-Driven Pumping Device and a Method for Downhole Pumping of a Liquid in a Well - A gas-driven pumping device and a method for downhole pumping of a liquid from at least one liquid source in a well and onto at least one receiving region for the liquid. The pumping device comprises a pressure manipulation chamber having a lower chamber portion and an upper chamber portion, wherein the pressure manipulation chamber is connected in a flow-communicating manner to 11-11-2010
20110277984Data Gathering Device and Method of Removing Contaminations from a Borehole Wall of a Well Before In Situ Gathering of Formation Data from the Borehole Wall - Data gathering device for in situ gathering of formation data from a borehole wall of a well in an open borehole comprises at least one movable measuring probe structured to be movable out from a well pipe to be able to establish contact with the borehole wall; at least one activation device structured in a manner allowing it to cause said measuring probe movement; at least one measuring sensor which, for measuring at least one formation-associated parameter, is connected to the measuring probe; and at least one data registration device which, for registration of measured parameters, is connected to the measuring sensor. The distinctive characteristic of the data gathering device is that it also comprises at least one suction chamber hydraulically connected to the measuring probe; wherein the suction chamber is structured in a manner allowing it to carry out non-motorized suction of contaminations from the borehole wall before the gathering of formation data is initiated; and wherein the suction chamber is connected to a release means for controlled activation of said suction. This suction removes said contaminations and thus brings about the best possible contact with the borehole wall during gathering of formation data.11-17-2011
