Title: Method and device for treating water
Inventor: NURMINEN TEPPO
IPC: B01D1/26
Filed: 2004-05-12
Abstract: Purified water for special purposes is produced using a falling-film multieffect evaporator. From the feed water, each effect produces a steam phase and a water phase. The steam phase is used for heating in the subseque nt evaporating step, whereby the steam phase condenses to product water, and th e water phase becomes feed water for the subsequent evaporation step. Accordin g to the invention, the product water may be wholly or partly recycled to the initial feed water, allowing process startup and sterilisation of the plant without conducting hot product water to the drain.

Title: Interference and noise estimation in an ofdm system
Inventor: NAGUIB AYMAN FAWZY
IPC: G01H/
Filed: 2004-05-14
Abstract: Noise and interference can be independently measured in a multiple user Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system. Co-channel interference is measured in a frequency hopping, multiple user, OFDM system by tracking the sub-carriers assigned to all users in a particular service area or cell. The composite noise plus interference can be determined by measuring the amount of received power in a sub-carrier whenever it is not assigned to any user in the cell. A value is stored for each sub-carrier in the system and the value of noise plus interference can be a weighted average of the present value with previously stored values. The noise component can be independently determined in a synchronous system. In the synchronous system, all users in a system may periodically be prohibited from broadcasting over a sub-carrier and the received power in the sub-carrier measured during the period having no broadcasts.

Title: Method and apparatus for hydrating a gel for use in a subterranean well
Inventor: PHILLIPPI MAX L
IPC: B01F25/64
Filed: 2004-06-21
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for hydrating a gel for treating a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation. The system (200) includes a gel powder supply (240) connected to a mixer (250). A base fluid (235), such as water, is supplied to the mixer (250) by fluid inlet (230), and the mixed gel (25) is directed through outlet (270). The mix (250) includes a housing (210) having an inner chamber (220). The mixer (250) is powered by a power source (225) such as a motor. The mixer (250) is fed the powered gel (245) by the gel powder supply (240) through the powder inlet (242). The mixer (250) creates a suction, when in use, and draws the powered gel (245) through the inlet (242) and into the mixing chamber (220). A base fluid (235) is supplied to the mixer (250) through a base fluid inlet (230). The base fluid may be comprised of various fluids, but is preferably water based. The mixer employs an impeller (215) rotating on a hub (260) which spins on an axis, such as in a centrifugal pump, creating a centrifugal motion in the gel powder and base fluid. The mixer (250) efficiently mixes the powered gel (245) and base fluid (235) to create a hydrated gel fluid (265) which is directed from the mixer through outlet (270). The resulting gel fluid mix (265) may be further processed as desired, such as by the use of diffusers, separators, hydration tanks and the like.

Inventor: DOLGOPOLSKY INNA
IPC: B32B27/06
Filed: 2004-07-22
Abstract: A laminate product comprising a foam core having a pair of opposed major surfaces and a cover layer secured with respect to each major surface is described. The cover layer is essentially free of fibreglass and comprises a polymeric substrate having disposed therein a plurality of porous material layers. It has been found that the use of fibreglass as a reinforcing materi al (and other sheet materials having a tensile modulus of greater than or equal to about 0.5 GPa when measured pursuant to ASTM D 5034) in a foam laminate product can be avoided by using a porous material layer in place of the fibreglass. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the porous material layer has a tensile modulus less than that of fibreglass mat yet can be used to produce a foam laminate product having significantly higher strength properties.

Inventor: MOULTON JAMES D
IPC: B21D26/041
Filed: 2002-05-01
Abstract: A method of forming a bottle-shaped or other contoured metal container by subjecting a hollow metal preform having a closed end to internal fluid pressure to cause the preform to expand against the wall of a die cavity defining the desired shape, and advancing a punch into the die cavity to displace and deform the closed end of the preform either before or after expansion begins but before it is complete. The pressure-subjecting step is performed by simultaneously subjecting the preform in the die cavity to independently controllable internal and external positive fluid pressures and varying the difference between them to control strain rate.
