Title: Method for standardizing raman spectrometers to obtain stable and transferable calibrations
Inventor: JUAREZ-GARCIA CARLOS HUMBERTO
IPC: G01J3/28
Filed: 1998-03-05
Abstract: A method for providing an accurate and precise quantitative analysis of the chemical composition and/or physical properties of an unknown sample uses the standard Raman spectra of a plurality of known samples to construct a normalized calibration (Step C1), which is applied to a standard Raman spectrum of the unknown sample obtained from a particular Raman spectrometry apparatus or any similar Raman spectrometry apparatus, which is used to simultaneously irradiate a reference material and at least one sample, thereby obtaining their respective convolved Raman spectra. Using a defined standard energy dispersion characteristic and a standard Raman spectrum (Step P2) of the reference material, a convolved function is determined (Step R6) and applied to produce a deconvolved Raman spectrum of the sample (Step R7). This deconvolved spectrum is multiplied by a defined standard photometric response function to produce a standard Raman spectrum of the sample (Step R8), thereby providing an accurate and precise quantitative analysis.

A first fluid is disposed be-tween the cooled surface (30) and the adapter (40) for conducting thermal energy from the cooled surface to the adapter. A second fluid is disposed between the cooling surface (20) and the adapter (40) for conducting ther-mal energy from the adapter to the cooling surface whereby the cooling surface remains free to move axi-ally relative to the adapter (40) at a temperature of the cooling surface at which the first fluid is susceptible to freezing. This allows for movement of the cold finger relative to the dewar and adapter, due to differential thermal coefficients of expansion or support structure motion, without adversely affecting the communication of thermal energy from the load. In the illustrative embodiment, the cooler is a Stirling cycle cooler, the first fluid is thermal grease and the second fluid is nitrogen. The cooling surface (20) is a cylindrical cold finger of the Stirling cycle cooler and the cooled surface (30) is an inner wall of a dewar assembly. The dewar is in thermal contact with a load. The adapter is disposed between the inner wall (29) of the dewar and the cold finger. The adapter (40) has an end cap (42) and a cylindrical housing (44) extending therefrom. The housing (44) extends at least partially along a longitudinal axis of the cold finger (20). An insulator is disposed about the cold finger and the adapter housing. A spring (52) is disposed between a proximal end of the insulator (50) and a base of the cold finger (20) to maintain a distal end of the insulator (50) in contact with the adapter and the adapter (40) in contact with the dewar.

Title: Camera focus indicator
Inventor: DIACONU DAN MUGUR
IPC: G02B7/30
Filed: 1999-05-28
Abstract: A focus indicator system for a motion picture camera (20) has two video cameras (38), one mounted on each side of the motion picture camera (20).  Images produced by the video cameras (38) are superimposed on the screen of a monitor (42). The video cameras (38) are pivotable, and rotate in responses to changes in the focus of a lens (26) of the camera (20). Movements of the lens' focus ring (28) are detected by a transducer (52). A control circuit monitors the output (152) from the transducer (52) and operates servomotors (55) which rotate the video cameras in opposite senses. The optical axes (43) of the video cameras (38) cross in the plane in which the lens (26) is focussed. The person operating as first assistant camera can determine when the motion picture camera (20) is in focus by viewing the monitor (42). When an object is in focus, the superimposed images from the video cameras coincide. When the object is not in focus the superimposed images are separated. The focus indicator helps the person who is focussing the camera (20) to rapidly and accurately focus on objects in the camera's field of view. This reduces re-takes caused by inaccurate focussing and makes set up faster. This reduces production costs.

Title: Method and apparatus for controlling of coning in hydrocarbon recovery
Inventor: SCHMIDT MATHEW G
IPC: E21B47/04
Filed: 2000-09-21
Abstract: A plurality of micro boreholes are drilled away from a production borehole in proximity to a hydrocarbon reservoir from which oil or gas is being produced. Detectors are permanently implanted in these micro boreholes. By using transmitters in the production borehole or in one or more of the lateral boreholes, signals are sent into the formation that are responsive to the position of a fluid-fluid interface within the producing reservoir. Processing of the detected signals makes it possible to monitor the location of the fluid interface and to operate flow control devices in the production borehole to avoid coning or the breakthrough of an undesirable fluid into the borehole. An embodiment of the invention uses permanently installed seismic, electromagnetic, gravity or pressure sensors in the proximity of the producing zone to detect changes in the fluid level.

Title: Accommodation frame and transmission device of different data traffics on common carrier wave
Inventor: TAKAGI KAZUO
IPC: H04L47/43
Filed: 2000-11-15
Abstract: A frame 400 is constituted of an overhead 410 and a payload 420.   The overhead 410 is constituted of a data length identifier 430 indicating a frame or a payload length; a flow identifier 440 indicating an attribute of the frame 400; and a frame header overhead error check (FHEC) 450 storing a result obtained by converting bytes from the head to a specified M-th byte of the frame 400 into a numerical value of n bytes according to a certain coding method. As for a length of the payload 420, up to a maximum length computed from the data length identifier 430 of the overhead can be stored.   In the payload 420, traffics for the layers 1 to 3 can be accommodated. Even if the ATM cell and the frame 400 are multiplexed, since coding methods for the FHEC 450 and the HEC are different, the ATM cell and the frame 400 can be extracted individually.
