The method and apparatus of the present invention provides for detecting a flow of a formation fluid entering into a wellbore. An ultrasonic sensor is placed in a wellbore. The sensor has a resonant member that is exposed to a fluid in the wellbore. At a location in the wellbore, acoustic energy is measured wherein the acoustic energy is related to turbulence from formation fluid entering the wellbore. In another embodiment of the invention a tool is provided for detecting a flow of a formation fluid into a downhole location in a wellbore. The ultrasonic sensor has a resonant member that is adapted to be in contact with a fluid in the wellbore. The sensor generates electrical signals when exposed to ultrasonic turbulences caused by a formation fluid entering into the wellbore. A processor processes the electrical signals to detect the flow of the formation fluid entering into the wellbore.

A full-wave rectifier circuit receives complementary signals and produces a current corresponding to an added value of differential signals at different levels. A voltage comparator performs a comparison between output signals produced and subjected to current addition and voltage conversion by the full-wave rectifier circuit. A timer detects whether an output signal of the voltage comparator is kept in the same state for a predetermined time or more, and produces a signal indicating a result of the detection. A signal detecting circuit that can accurately identify a state of digital signals of a minute amplitude transferred through a pair of complementary signal lines is achieved without complicating manufacturing steps.

A system for efficiently employing a quick paging channel signal to determine the presence of a forthcoming primary paging channel signal adapted for use with a wireless communications system employing a quick paging channel and a primary paging channel. The system includes a first mechanism for calculating a first decision parameter representative of a quality of a signal environment through which the quick paging channel is propagating. A second mechanism calculates a second decision parameter representative of a value of the quick paging channel signal. A third mechanism indicates, based on the first decision parameter and the second decision parameter, the presence or absence of an immediately forthcoming page message on the primary paging channel.

An interactive projector is provided with a projection section adapted to project an image on a screen surface, a detection section, and a correction section. The detection section detects presence or absence of contact of the pointing element with the screen surface based in a relationship between a difference between a Z-coordinate value of the pointing element and a Z-coordinate value of the screen surface, and a difference threshold value set in advance. The correction section corrects at least one of the Z-coordinate value of the screen surface, the Z-coordinate value of the pointing element, and the difference threshold value based on a history of the Z-coordinate value of the pointing element.
