Title: Detection of delamination of rubber covers from metal substrates
Inventor: WHITE DENNIS A
IPC: G01N29/09
Filed: 2000-05-09
Abstract: The bonding of an elastomeric cover (22) to a metal roll (20) is tested by transmitting audible frequency waves through the compliant roll cover and receiving the waves at a transducer (38) mounted to the underlying steel roll. The resulting signal may be analyzed by a technician listing to the audio frequencies transmitted. The audio range of frequencies employed may be about 5000 Hz. The elastomeric material such as rubber does not transmit sound without considerable loss of amplitude, whereas sound travels at high speed through steel with little attenuation. A sound transmitter (28) is spirally scanned along the rubber-covered surface of the roll, transmitting into the steel roll directly beneath the sound transmitter and throughout the roll. Sound is detected at a transducer (38) mounted at the roll ends. Any failure or significant variation in the roll/cover bond is detected by the effect on the quality of sound transmitted through the rubber steel interface.

Abstract: A Linear Solver method and apparatus, embodied in a Simulator, (70), and adapted for solving systems of non-linear partial differential equations and systems of linear equations representing physical characteristics of an oil and/or gas reservoir, (72), includes receiving a first signal representing physical characteristics of a reservoir, obtaining a residual vector, (Ro) from the first signal (representing errors associated with a system of nonlinear equations describing the reservoir), and a first matrix, (Ao), (78), (representing the sensitivity of the residual vector to changes in a system of nonlinear equations), recursively decomposing matrix (Ao), into a lower block triangular matrix, an upper block triangular matrix, and a diagonal matrix, and generating, (80), a second matrix (Mo) that is an approximation to matrix, (Ao). A solution to the systems of non-linear partial differential equations may then be found by using certain values that were used to produce the matrix, (Mo), and that solution, (86), does not require the direct computation of (Ao) z = b, (representing the system of linear equations) as required by conventional methods.

Inventor: POMPL GERHARD
IPC: F25J3/04
Filed: 2002-03-21
Abstract: The process and the apparatus are used to obtain argon using a three-column system for the fractionation of air, which has a high-pressure column (11), a low-pressure column (13) and a medium-pressure column (12).      A first charge air stream (10, 64) is introduced into the high-pressure column (11), where it is separated into a first oxygen-enriched liquid and a first nitrogen top gas. A first oxygen-enriched fraction (23, 24, 26) from the high-pressure column (11) is introduced into the medium-pressure column (12), where it is separated into a second oxygen-enriched liquid and a second nitrogen top gas. A second oxygen-enriched fraction (33, 35), from the high-pressure column and/or from the medium-pressure column (12) is introduced into the low-pressure column (13), where it is separated into a third oxygen-enriched liquid and a third nitrogen top gas. An argon-containing fraction (68) from the low-pressure column (13) is introduced into a crude argon column (70), where it is separated into a crude argon top fraction and an oxygen-rich liquid. At least a part (73) of the crude argon top fraction (71) is passed into a crude argon condenser (29), where it is at least partially condensed by indirect heat exchange with at least a part (27) of the second oxygen-enriched liquid from the medium-pressure column (12). Oxygen-enriched vapour (32) which is formed in the process is returned to the medium-pressure column (12). A fraction (72) from the upper region of the crude argon column (70) and/or a part of the crude argon top fraction downstream of the crude argon condenser is obtained as crude argon product.

Title: Dynamic configuration and self-tuning of inter-nodal communication resources in a database management system
Inventor: NG JACK HON WAI
IPC: G06F9/50
Filed: 2002-04-24
Abstract: A database management system in which a plurality of nodes form a database instance, each node including a communication manager for dynamically configuring inter-nodal communication resources. The communicaton manager receives communication resource allocation requests from clients or a self-tuning algorithm. A resource self-tuning mechanism allocates or de-allocates memory blocks used for communication resource elements dynamically in real time without cycling the instance. Memory blocks are de-allocated asynchronously by placing associated communication resource elements in quarantine until all communication resource elements associated with the memory block are quarantined.
Patent CA-2383856-A1 (CA)
Title: Fluid reservoir
Inventor: DUCEPPE DANIEL
IPC: F01P11/02
Filed: 2002-04-29
Abstract: A valve in the flow aperture of a removable coolant reservoir enables coolant to flow between the reservoir and a coolant system while preventing the coolant in the reservoir from spilling when the reservoir is disconnected from the coolant system. A filling tube with a lower end and an air escape passage discourage users from overfilling the reservoir. Once the coolant level reaches the lower end, fluid accumulates in the filling tube, thereby indicating to the user that the reservoir is full. The air escape passage then gradually allows displaced air to escape and coolant in the filling tube to enter the reservoir. An overflow port and tube attached to the filling tube divert excess coolant away from the reservoir. A  bleed tube, a bleed port, and a barrier in the reservoir remove bubbles from the coolant system and prevent the removed bubbles from reentering the coolant system.
