Abstract: A telecontrol system for activating a supplementary vehicle heater with a precoded transmitter and a receiver allocated to a control device is specified, in which system transmitter or receiver can be coded in a self-training manner by the other device in each case. Transmitter or receiver can be switched to the training mode by switching a control input whilst the supplementary vehicle heater to be activated is switched off, and the receiver or the transmitter transmit their fixed precoding within a predetermined period to the other device in each case which stores the coding in a nonvolatile memory. The invention dispenses with the formation of fixed pairs of matching transistors and receivers which makes transportation and storage and spare part procurement difficult in conventional telecontrol systems.

Abstract: Mass flowmeters working on the Coriolis principle use two measuring tubes (11,12) with the same oscillation frequency, through which the substance to be measured flows. This electronic output system uses electrodynamic sensors (21,22) in line with the direction of flow of the material to transmit signals to an amplifier circuit containing pre-amplifiers (31,32), each of which is connected to an amplifier (41,42), a comparator (13) leading to a switch (14) and a filter (15) with adjustable cut-off frequency. An integrator (16) for both pre-amplifiers (31,32) and a phase loop (17) gives a signal (f1) to the phase measurement summariser (18) which also takes a signal from the filter (15). Its output signal (f3) passes through a synchronous-rectifier (52) and an integrator (62) to a differentiator (26). This receives input from a database (25) and from the phase loop (17); its output (m) is proportional to the mass flow. Both the integrator (62) signal, passed through an analog/digital converter (28), and the database may be digital to give a digital reading at the differentiator (26).

Abstract: Un distributeur (2) comprend un corps (4), une aiguille (110) et un ou plusieurs cylindres creux (28) et des pistons (144). L'aiguille se déplace entre une position de prédistribution et une position de distribution, au niveau de laquelle l'extrémité interne (112) de l'aiguile ouvre une soupape à boulet (142) pour laisser s'écouler librement le fluide du cylindre, le long d'une voie d'écoulement (46) et dans l'aiguille. Un dispositif doseur fileté (164, 166) est monté dans le corps et vient en contact avec une tige filetée (150). On empêche la tige de tourner pour qu'une rotation du dispositif doseur dans un sens provoque le déplacement axial du dispositif doseur en éloignant le piston afin de comprimer un ressort d'entraînement (176) et de précharger la tige. Le déplacement de l'ensemble aiguille vers la position de distribution entraîne automatiquement la dose de produit pharmaceutique sous pression hors du cylindre et dans l'aiguille. L'utilisateur peut recharger le cylindre à l'aide de l'aiguille en ouvrant (88, 92, 94) un passage supplémentaire (54, 52) et en faisant tourner le dispositif doseur dans le sens opposé.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des techniques améliorées pour contrôler l'injection d'un mélange d'eau/poudre de cellulose dans une formation à travers un puits d'injection, pour récupérer les hydrocarbures. On augmente le dosage initial de la poudre ajoutée à l'eau en fonction de la pression contrôlée du mélange dans le puits au voisinage de la formation, et du débit contrôlé du mélange injecté. On optimise les débits d'eau et les dosages et on contrôle le mélange afin d'assurer la prise à l'intérieur de la formation pour améliorer la récupération des hydrocarbures. Une cuve de mélange permet d'éviter la prise prématurée du mélange. Un matériel portatif est prévu pour injecter le mélange eau/poudre dans la formation, ce qui augmente la flexibilité d'utilisation du matériel et réduit ainsi les coûts globaux de l'opération de récupération.
