Title: Preparation of stable emulsion using dynamic or static mixers
Inventor: SILVA FELIX ABRAHAM
IPC: B01F23/70
Filed: 2003-05-28
Granted: 2007-07-31
Abstract: A process for preparing a hydrocarbon in water emulsion, comprising the steps of providing a liquid additive that tends to gel when mixed with water at temperatures less than a gelling temperature T G; providing a stream of water at a temperature T c less than the gelling temperature T G; feeding said stream to a mixer having a mixer inlet so as to impart energy to the stream; adding the liquid additive to the stream downstream of the mixer inlet, whereby the liquid additive mixes with the stream and the energy inhibits gelling of the liquid additive so as to provide a substantially homogeneous solution of the liquid additive in the water; and mixing the solution with a hydrocarbon in a mixer so as to form a hydrocarbon-in-water emulsion. In further accordance with the invention, different emulsions can be formed and combined so as to provide a combined emulsion having desired properties.

Abstract: A decompressor, a compressor and methods in an Internet Protocol (IP) network for reporting cause of missing packets. A cause of unsuccessful reception or sending of a compressed packet addressed is reported to a compressor / decompressor node. The compressor / decompressor node decides or predicts if a decompression context associated with the decompressor is invalidated by analyzing the cause of the unsuccessful reception and, optionally, analyzing a re- initialization agreement between the compressor and the decompressor. In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the compressor / decompressor node use the decision or prediction to exchange information to reinitialize the decompression context associated with the decompressor. In a preferable embodiment of the present invention, the detection of the unsuccessful sending or reception is performed at a Medium Access(MAC) layer associated with the compressor / decompressor node.

Title: A process for manufacturing pre-stressed concrete members
Inventor: OHTA TOSHIAKI
IPC: B28B23/04
Filed: 2002-05-17
Granted: 2006-07-11
Abstract: According to a post-tension process, carbon fiber bundles 13a, 13b, which extend from a straight carbon fiber cable 10, are folded and inserted in a sheath 21. U-shaped carbon fiber anchors 33 (burial anchors) are bonded to the folded part of the carbon fiber bundles 13a, 13b. After green concrete is aged to a hardened concrete body 23, the straight carbon fiber cable 10 is stretched by pulling tentative anchors 40a, 40b, and grout 22 is poured in the sheath 21. After the grout 22 is hardened, the straight carbon fiber cable 10 is released from tension by cutting off the tentative anchors 40a, 40b.     Consequently, a concrete member 20 is pre-stressed due to shrinkage of the straight carbon fiber cable 10. According to a pretension process, a carbon fiber hoop is wound on and bonded to a plurality of straight carbon fiber cables, which are arranged parallel to each other. Green concrete is poured in a molding box under the condition that the straight carbon fiber cable are stretched. After the concrete is hardened, the straight carbon fiber cables are released from tension. In any process, the straight carbon fiber cable 10 is held in a loose-free state and provided with carbon fiber anchors instead of conventional steel anchors. As a result, a pre-stressed concrete member excellent in mechanical strength, fatigue properties and corrosion-resistance is manufactured at a low cost.

Abstract: Débitmètre comprenant au moins un tube de mesure vibrant périodiquement (1) pour la conduite d'un fluide, présentant une extrémité d'entrée et une extrémité de sortie. Le tube de mesure (1) communique avec une conduite raccordée, via un segment tubulaire (11) débouchant dans l'extrémité d'entrée, et via un segment tubulaire (12) débouchant dans l'extrémité de sortie, en vue de permettre la circulation du fluide. Le tube de mesure (1) est maintenu vibrant par l'intermédiaire d'un support (2) qui est fixé, au moyen d'une pièce de transition (21) sur le segment tubulaire (11) et, au moyen d'une pièce de transition (22), sur le segment tubulaire (12). En particulier, pour la production de forces de Coriolis dépendant du débit massique et/ou pour la production de forces de frottement dépendant de la viscosité dans des fluides en écoulement, le tube de mesure (1) effectue, lors du fonctionnement, des vibrations mécaniques autour d'un axe de vibration (S) reliant, de façon imaginaire, les deux segments tubulaires (11, 12). En vue de bloquer en rotation le support du tube de mesure (1), il est prévu, dans au moins l'une des pièces de transition (21, 22), une butée (3) ayant un premier bord de butée (31) s'étendant au moins par endroits en direction de l'axe de vibration (S) et venant partiellement en contact avec le segment tubulaire correspondant (11 ou 12). La butée (3) permet d'éviter, dans une large mesure, une rotation réciproque du support (2) et du tube de mesure (1), même en cas de dilatations consécutives à des effets thermiques, ceci sans avoir recours à des assemblages soudés ou brasés.
