The categorization(sometimes in diagrammatic form) of a given subject field into the various sub-activities with which particular sets of terms are associated, based on an examination of a representative sampling of available specialized written material and, as required, opinions obtained from subject specialists. A subject-field analysis is normally carried out at the start of any major assignment for the purpose of organizing the research as well as the resulting vocabulary or term list.

CONT

The motion of free-floating space robots is characterized by non-holonomic constraints, i. e., non-integrable rate constraint equations. These constraints originate from the principles of conservation of angular momentum. It is well known that these rate constraints can also be written to form an input-affine drift-less control system. Trajectory planning of these systems is extremely challenging and computation intensive since the motion must satisfy differential constraints. Under certain conditions, these drift-less control systems can be shown to be differentially flat.

CONT

To date, most of the research on the control of space robots has centered on "free-floating" robots. Free-floating robots are defined as space robots where the satellite base position and orientation are unactuated. Without base actuation, no external forces or torques act upon the system when the end-effector is not in contact with the work environment. The linear and angular momenta of the system are conserved, so the spacecraft base moves in reaction to commanded arm motion.

If a deed be made by more parties than one, there ought to be regularly as many copies of it as there are parties, and each should be cut or indented (formerly in acute angles "instar dentium," like the teeth of a saw, but at present in a waving line) on the top or side, to tally or correspond with the other; which deed so made, is called an indenture.

In modern practice the indenture as well as the deed poll is written on a single sheet of paper, the indenture not being "indented" as anciently; the difference between the two being that the indenture is signed by both grantor and grantee, the deed poll being signed only by the grantor.(Cartwright, 1972, p. 251)

A solution found by evaluating functions and solving equations.

CONT

An analytical solution is one that can be explicitly written down, also called a closed form solution. Analytical solutions can not be found for many partial differential and ordinary differential equations(most in fact). In the case when an analytical solution has not been found yet, numerical methods may be applied to get an approximate solution. For instance a well known equation with an analytical solution is the wave equation. On the other hand, a well known equation that doesn’t have an analytical solution is the Navier-Stokes equation.

OBS

In physics and engineering the usual terminology is "analytical solution," [instead of the term "closed-form expression," used in mathematics].

DEF

Technology that combines sensors and remote control to detect production problems and solve them without costly well intervention.

CONT

... with advancements in material science, electronics, and data acquisition and processing, we have seen the use of sensors in oil well production turn in to what is now being referred to as "smart-well technology." With sensors located downhole (below ground), above ground, in the storage tanks, and even on the pump motors to detect low frequency vibrations that can indicate potential wear, "smart" is exactly what these wells are becoming. ... There are a variety of sensors currently used for downhole monitoring ranging from fiber optic to acoustic to quartz crystal sensors.

CONT

Representing a step-change in intelligent well control technology, the new multi-drop capability for hydraulic, downhole flow control valves supports the industry’s overall objectives. These include improving reservoir recovery, and removing complexity and operating capital for future interventions. They also include ... effective monitoring and control for production management.

OBS

Much has been... written about intelligent well technology(IWT), but not everyone agrees as to what constitutes an intelligent well(IW). Some feel that merely the use of permanent downhole gauges(PDGs) that monitor and collect wellbore and/or reservoir data, constitutes an IW. Then there are others who believe that use of simple hydraulic-controlled, remote-operated, downhole-flow-control devices with only on/off position control but no downhole monitoring, should be considered an IW. A definition accepted.... among others, is that an IW installation is one that includes all of the following capabilities : Monitoring : The ability to monitor wellbore and/or reservoir characteristics in real time; Optimization : Analyze the data from monitoring, and pro-actively adjust flow regimes from multiple zones or laterals; Flow control : Utilization of remotely operated downhole-flow-control devices... for adjustment of flow regimes.

OBS

The development of intelligent well technology began in the late 1980s. New downhole technology to better monitor and control production without intervention was seen as a solution to maximize the potential of aging reservoirs. Applications for permanent seismic sensing as a reservoir optimization tool grew out of conventional borehole seismic techniques that have been used for many years.
