Controllable device pipeline system utilizing addressed datagrams
First Claim
1. A system located in piping assemblies that generate and utilize at least one or more addressed datagrams allowing communication from information contained within said datagrams, comprising;
- one or more addressable transponders, wherein said transponders transmit and receive information via said one or more addressed datagrams optionally encoded within said piping assemblies;
wherein said transponders convert said datagrams into signals that are transmitted to said piping assemblies or from said piping assemblies to said transponders;
wherein said transponders receive and convert signals within said piping assemblies back into datagrams, and;
wherein said one or more transponders receive and decode one or more datagrams so that said transponders within said piping assemblies selectively communicate and perform logical operations causing action on one or more controllable devices;
wherein inserting markers in strategically placed locations along an axial and/or radial portion of said piping assemblies creates one or more patterns or sequence of patterns and wherein said markers are comprised of components each possessing identical or different selected material compositions with cross sectional areas corresponding to each of said components such that movement of said controllable devices is controlled in response to datagrams, by using a pressure responsive member which is adapted to be shifted from one position to another position comprising;
a pressure responsive surface on said member by supplying a fluid medium to said surface at a pressure substantially different than the hydrostatic pressure of a wellbore fluid allowing for shifting said member from an initial position to another position in response to utilizing said datagrams.

Abstract
A control system for generating and utilizing at least one or more addressed datagrams that communicate information to and from devices along piping assemblies comprising; one or more transmitters, one or more receivers, and one or more controllers and/or transponders wherein the transmitters transmit information via one or more addressed datagrams encoded within a fluid medium to one or more receivers among the piping assemblies, is described. Transmitters or transponders convert datagrams into signals that are transmitted within the fluid medium and the receivers receive signals from the transmitters and also convert signals from the fluid medium which is converted back into datagrams. The controllers receive and decode the datagrams so that the controllers selectively communicate and perform logical operations on piping assembly devices according to directions received from the addressed datagrams. The entire control system can function as a network of controllers, receivers, transmitters, and/or transponders as required by one or more users.
