Inventor: LITTLE JEFF
IPC: G01N15/08
Filed: 2005-12-16
Abstract: In one aspect of the present invention, a method of evaluating water saturation characteristics is provided. The method is applicable to a geological formation that is penetrated by a borehole and includes injection fluid introduced into the formation by an external process performed upon the borehole. The method includes conducting electromagnetic induction measurements indicative of resistivity values of the formation. A value of total porosity for the formation is also obtained. Then, the method calls for defining fractional volumes for each of clay bound water, free water, and irreducible water in the formation, wherein the free water volume accounts for injection fluid introduced into the formation. The method also calls for defining values of conductivity for each of clay bound water, free water, and irreducible water, wherein the free water conductivity is determined from the conductivity of the injection fluid. Finally, water saturation in the formation is determined from a relationship between total porosity and conductivity values for the formation, and conductivities and fractional volumes for each of clay bound water, free water, and irreducible water. This relationship is preferably provided by the Triple Water Equation.

Title: Membrane fuel cell countercurrent-fed with non-humidified air
Inventor: XUE ZHI YANG
IPC: H01M8/04
Filed: 2004-12-17
Abstract: The present invention describes a membrane fuel cell capable of operating in a stable fashion at high currently density under dry reactant gas feed at near-atmospheric pressure. This result is obtained by employing internal porous gas distributors, such as three-dimensional reticulated materials, sintered materials, juxtaposed meshes or expanded sheets, and at the same time by countercurrent-feeding the gas reactants, preferably ambient air, from the bottom. In one preferred alternative liquid water is injected from the bottom into the air feed: with these operating conditions, an extremely simplified stable functioning is obtained, since the air and water flow-rates, adjusted as requested for the maximum nominal electrical output, are kept unvaried even at low or zero output conditions without the cell membrane undergoing dehydration.

Abstract: Generating an image matrix includes accessing a round-trip time matrix for a space having points. The round-trip time matrix describes an estimated round-trip time for a signal to travel from a transmit antenna, to a point, and to a receive antenna. Signals reflected from an object of the space are received at the receive antennas. The following are repeated for at least a subset of the points to generate an image matrix: select a point of the subset of points;  for each receive antenna, establish a waveform of a signal received by a receive antenna and identify a waveform value of the established waveform that corresponds to the selected point according to the round-trip time matrix; and combine the waveform values for the selected point to yield an image value for the selected point. The image matrix is generated from the image values.

Abstract: Sont décrites des techniques permettant de calculer efficacement des matrices de filtre spatial. Les matrices de réponse de canal pour canal MIMO peuvent être fortement corrélées si le canal est relativement statique sur une plage d'intervalles de transmission. Dans ce cas, une matrice de filtre spatial initiale peut être dérivée à partir d'une seule matrice de réponse de canal et une matrice de filtre spatial peut être calculée pour chaque intervalle de transmission à partir de la matrice de filtre spatial initiale et d'une matrice directrice utilisée pour cet intervalle de transmission. Les matrices de réponse de canal peuvent être partiellement corrélées si le canal MIMO n'est pas statique, mais ne change pas non plus brusquement. Dans ce cas, la matrice de filtre spatial peut être dérivée pour un intervalle de transmission et utilisée pour dériver un matrice de filtre spatial initiale pour un autre intervalle de transmission m. Une matrice de filtre spatial pour intervalle de transmission m peut être calculée à partir de la matrice de filtre spatial initiale, c'est-à-dire selon une méthode itérative.
