Appl. No.:

5/812077

Assignee:

Texaco Inc. - New York NY

International Classification:

E21B 4324
E21B 47026

US Classification:

166252

Abstract:

A method for recovering viscous hydrocarbons from subterranean formations involves injecting a hydrocarbon solvent into the formation at spaced intervals to produce permeable regions or streaks in the formation. The injection is preferably directed to those regions of highest oil saturation, i. e. , those regions with lowest effective permeability. A subsequent introduction of a heated fluid then will enable recovery of the viscous hydrocarbons in the treated regions and the untreated zones therebetween.

Abstract:

A distributed drive assembly for a necker machine having a frame assembly and a plurality of modules, each module having a number of drive shafts, the number of drive shafts of each module interconnected via a gear train with the number of drive shafts of the other modules of the plurality of processing modules. The distributed drive assembly includes: a plurality of drive sub-modules, each drive sub-module having: an input shaft; a first output shaft operatively coupled to the input shaft; and a second output shaft operatively coupled to the input shaft. For a first drive sub-module: the input shaft is structured to be operatively coupled to, and driven by, a main drive assembly motor, and the first output shaft is structured to be operatively coupled to, and drive, an associated first drive shaft of the number of drive shafts of a first module of the plurality of modules. For a second drive sub-module: the input shaft is operatively coupled to, and driven by, the second output shaft of the first drive sub-module, and the first output shaft is structured to be operatively coupled to, and drive, an associated first drive shaft of the number of drive shafts of a second module of the plurality of modules that is separated from the first module by at least one other module.

International Classification:

H04B 17/00
H04L 27/06

Abstract:

A method and apparatus are provided to detect a threshold-error of a multi-level signal-under-test. In one aspect of the disclosure, a digital test sequence may be used to produce the signal-under-test. In one aspect, the digital test sequence may be mapped to M binary reference sequences, wherein M is greater than one. In one aspect, each of the M binary reference sequences may be associated with a voltage threshold and a received signal may be bit-compared with each threshold. In one aspect, a threshold-error may be counted when a bit of a binary reference sequence does not match the corresponding bit-compare result. In one aspect, an instrument is provided that compares a received amplitude to a plurality of thresholds at one sample time.
