Title: Distinguishing geological sequences and their boundaries
Inventor: ANSTEY NIGEL ALLISTER
IPC: G01V1/50
Filed: 1997-12-01
Abstract: Geologists need to identify the boundaries between sequences of rocks laid down in different depositional regimes. One approach is to search, in well logs or seismic data, for a statistic characteristic of such regimes, and for breaks in that statistic. The preferred statistic used, 44, is the first moment of the power spectrum of the wavenumber of a suitable physical property as a function of depth. This is calculated rapidly and with excellent depth resolution from the complex-valued autocorrelation function at its zero and unit lag values, and displayed, 47, as a single variable in black-and-white or colour. Within limiting assumptions, further manipulations, 46, allow the approximate conversion of the scale of depth to one of geologic time, and the display of an indicator of relative sea level also as a function of geologic time.

Title: A hydrostatic transmission having a motor coaxial with a main shaft
Inventor: MARTIN LOUIS
IPC: B60K17/02
Filed: 1998-02-27
Abstract: A hydrostatic transmission comprises a low-speed high torque motor 1 coaxially disposed with respect to a driving shaft 20, the motor 1 has a coupling member 50 rotationally fast with cylinder block 6 but axially moveable via a piston 102. The coupling member 50 connects the cylinder block 50 to the drive shaft 20 via planetary step-up gearing 80 or couples the cylinder block 50 to the drive shaft 20 via flange 66. Spline teeth 68, 70, 96 and 98 are provided on a radial face of the coupling member 50, the flange 70 and a ring 92A of the gear 80. When the piston 102 is actuated the coupling member 50 moves between a first and a second position in which either the flange 66 or the gear 80 are selectively activated or de-activated, a neutral position may also be provided between the first and second positions. This neutral position is maintained, while the piston 102 is not pressurized, by a spring washer (130, fig 5A). Cylinder block 6 has two series of radial pistons 14 mounted at different radial planes P1, P2 in cylinders 12 so that two distinct cubic capacities may be selected by slide valve 25.

Title: A clutch with wear state indicator
Inventor: HUEBNER GERHARD
IPC: F16D13/75
Filed: 1998-03-27
Abstract: A clutch 10 comprises a wear take-up device 12 having wear compensating components, eg wear take-up rings 56, 58 which, as friction linings 42, 44 wear, are urged by springs 60 to rotate relative to each other so that inclined surfaces 64, 66 axially enlarges the wear take-up device 12. Each of the take-up rings 56, 58 are provided with an indication section 72, 74 which, as the rings 56, 58 relatively rotate, are displaced, eg staggered, by a corresponding amount (see fig 4c) that is proportional to the wear on the friction linings 42, 44. Stationary sensor means 78, eg a magnetic induction sensor etc, detects a passage of both of the sections 72, 74 as they rotate about axis A with the clutch 10 and emits signals (see figs 5a-5c) dependent upon the extent of the stagger. Because of this stagger the signals emitted by the sensor 78 have peaks (82, 82', fig 5c) which are detected by a wear-determining unit (86, fig 4a) that, due to the relative position of these peaks, ascertains that a predetermined state of wear has occurred. In another embodiment the take-up ring 58 is provided with a lever part (94a, fig 6) having an end section (96a, fig 7) that rotates as the take-up rings 56, 58 rotate relative to each other.
