Patent FR-2814233-A1 (FR)
Inventor: GENDRIN STEPHANE
IPC: G01D5/20
Filed: 2000-09-15
Abstract: A sensor module including a processing unit, a stroke sensor and a force sensor (3) for obtaining data relating to both a force exerted on an axially-moving rod (1) and the travel of the rod through a determination of the position of the piston (2) with respect to the rod (1). The sensor module is characterized by a first stationary electrical coil (5) that is arranged about the piston (2) and the rod (1) and a second moving electrical coil (6) that is disposed about the rod (1) and connected to the force sensor (3). The first (5) and second (6) coils are coaxial and as a result induced oscillatory voltage within the stationary coil (5) generates an eddy current within the piston (2) that permit a measurement of the stroke of the piston (2) by means of eddy-current signal received by the stroke sensor using the piston (2) as a test body, and supplying the force sensor with electrical power through the second moving electrical coil (6). The first stationary electrical coil (5) is further used as a medium for the transmission of an electrical measurement signal (S) that is generated by the force sensor (3).

Each vibrator comprises at least a centre mass (1), several head masses (2, 3) providing mechanical coupling with the medium, electromechanical transducers (4, 5) connecting the centre masses (1) to the head masses (2, 3). The control system (7) is adapted to apply to the various transducers (4, 5) respective control signals such that the resulting elastic wave field generated in the medium by the device, is oriented preferably along one or several directions. Said focused wave field can be directly obtained by applying appropriate control signals to the various transducers of each vibrator or by successively transmitting several times, with different wave fields, so that, by combining seismograms produced at those different times, the equivalent wave field is focused, or by combining the focused wave fields transmitted by several single vibrators. The invention is applicable to earth's seismic exploration for example.

Title: Electrical heating to assist exothermic oxidation and endothermic pyrolysis reactions at high temperatures in a continuous flow hydrocarbon reforming reactor
Inventor: CZERNICHOWSKI MIECZYSLAW
IPC: C01B3/32
Filed: 2001-10-18
Abstract: The exothermic reaction is assisted by an electrical heater, raising the temperature in one zone of the reactor to up to 1250  deg C. The high temperature zone of the reactor contains a solid body (8) which is hot enough to ensure both a quick reaction and favorable thermodynamic conditions for the reactions to be achieved in a relatively small reformer. The exothermic reaction is assisted by an electrical heater, raising the temperature in one zone of the reactor to up to 1250  deg C. The high temperature zone of the reactor contains a solid body (8) which is hot enough to ensure both a quick reaction and favorable thermodynamic conditions for the reactions to be achieved in a relatively small reformer. The solid body is made of granular and/or porous refractory material, such as mineral or synthetic grains, metal wires or rods, or a metal or ceramic honeycomb. The material acts as a contact surface for the pyrolysis and/or partial oxidation of the hydrocarbon. The reactor contains an internal heat exchanger to increase the temperature in the reaction zone and of the body. The intrinsic inefficiency of the exchanger is corrected by adding heat which can be rapidly controlled by a local supply of electrical energy using the Joule effect as the electrical current passes across a resistance placed in the zone and the body. The heat exchanger also cools the flow leaving the body in the tube (2) and the surface of the exchanger is augmented by a structure (12) which may be in the form of conducting fins. The energy exchange is also increased by the turbulence around entering and leaving fluids. Thermal insulation (13) is placed around the reactor to conserve heat so the reactor can operate in quasi adiabatic conditions. The reactor is tubular, approximately 0.25 m diameter and 3 m high, and able to resist pressures of up to 4MPa.
