Abstract: Methods and apparatus for measuring a phase fraction of a flow stream are disclosed. An infrared phase fraction meter includes a light source for emitting into a flow stream infrared radiation that includes first and second wavelength bands. The first wavelength band substantially transmits through first and second phases of the flow stream and is substantially absorbed by a third phase. In contrast, the second wavelength band is substantially absorbed by the second phase relative to the first and third phases. One or more detectors simultaneously detect attenuation of the first and second wavelength bands upon the infrared radiation passing through at least a portion of the flow stream, and a phase fraction of the second phase is determined based on the attenuation. As an example, the first, second and third phases are gas, water and oil, respectively, produced from a well.

Abstract: A method of controlling acceptance of a call by a network node in a communication network having a required quality of service includes the steps of determining an infimum of a function of the probability of the node being overloaded if the call if accepted and determining from that infimum the effective bandwidth of the calls to the node if that call should be accepted and determining a corresponding quality of service. The corresponding quality of service is then compared with a quality of service that is required for satisfactory operation of the network. If the quality if maintained or exceeded then the call is accepted for the node.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for utilizing a digital computer to print characters of multiple fonts, both textually and graphically, on a single printer from within a single document [is disclosed]. Existing computer programs provide the capability of printing pre-defined textual characters or graphical characters separately, but not in an integrated manner as is disclosed. Thus, the invention enables printing of a variety of mixed characters, such as international alphabetic characters and complex mathematical characters, within a single document.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of registering image data for a series of images acquired over a period of time. The images may be acquired from a medical imaging device, such as an MRI scanner. The method allows image-by-image registration to a partially compressed dataset in which motion artefacts are suppressed in a series of target images generated to resemble the original dynamic data. The registration process is refined with each iteration of the process. The method uses Principal Component Analysis which allows accurate registration to be performed without the need to make any assumptions about pharmacokinetic model parameters, which not only avoids the problems of accurate model-fitting but permits the use of much larger target areas of the dataset.
