Abstract: Dans le cas d'un procédé pour la détection du temps moteur de chacun des cylindres d'un moteur à quatre temps, le signal est saisi par au moins un détecteur du déroulement de la combustion et à partir du niveau du signal est détecté le temps moteur du cylindre surveillé, et par conséquent celui des autres cylindres. On utilise les signaux par exemple de détecteurs de cliquetis. Ces signaux fournissent un niveau plus élevé des signaux en raison de bruits de fonctionnement mécaniques à l'intérieur de certaines plages d'angle du vilebrequin dans le mouvement d'un piston de cylindre. En conséquence, il est possible de déterminer, à partir de ce niveau élevé de signaux, le temps moteur d'un cylindre surveillé.

Abstract: A progressive cavity drilling apparatus which includes a drill bit (26), a drill bit driving shaft (16) have a hollow bore (25) formed therein and a progressive cavity drive train (A) for driving the drilling shaft (16). A flow restrictor (42) is provided to cause fluid leaving the progressive cavity drive train to enter the interior of the hollow drilling shaft and then to be exited therefrom through nozzles formed in the drill bit. The flow restrictor includes a groove (44) to allow a small amount of fluid to flow in a path winding around the circumference of the flow restrictor (42) and into a bearing assembly (30) located below the flow restrictor (42). Because the flow path winds around the circumference of the flow restrictor, it is significantly longer than a straight longitudinal flow path. Consequently, the velocity of the high pressure fluid through the flow path is significantly reduced thus minimizing erosion and wear of the flow restrictor. The flow restrictor may also function as a radial support which can obviate the need for a separate radial bearing. The radial support may be provided between the helical grooves or in a separate portion of the flow restrictor. The flow restrictor can also have an inner diameter which is eccentrically moveable with respect to the outer diameter of the flow restrictor so as to accomodate shaft movement.

Abstract: The electricity meters (1) which in each case have one single-phase measuring unit (7) per phase of each type of energy measured are interconnected with a reference electricity meter (2), generating a reference frequency (fR,j), power-feeding sources (3, 4) and phase shifter (5) in such a manner that the single-phase measuring units (7) and the reference electricity meter (7) each measure an identical power value of an identical type of energy which is located within one of a number of power ranges into which the power measuring range of the electricity meters (1) is subdivided. In each single-phase measuring unit (7), its pulse frequency, which is proportional to the measured power, is multiplied by a calibration and correction factor for each power range for the purpose of generating a frequency fS,j. Starting from a starting instant, pulses, the frequency of which is equal to the reference frequency (fR,j) multiplied by KMD,j = [RZ/RR,j].[KA/nS] are counted during a time window ns/f s,j. RR,j is the number of pulses per energy unit of the reference frequency (fR,j). RZ is a counter constant, KA is a time matching factor and ns is a stored number. The count obtained is stored as value of a calibration factor and called up in operation, for example when the power associated with the measured energy is within the relevant power range. Its subsequent multiplication by a correction factor results in the value of the calibration and correction factor. The method and the arrangement permit the automatic calibration of complex electricity meters in a particularly simple manner. <IMAGE>
