Title: Method and apparatus for sensing the temperature of a remote object
IPC: G01J5/60
Filed: 1989-04-19
Abstract: Dual pyrometric detectors (10,12) and method measure the temperature of a remote heated object (17) in the presence of ambient radiation. One detector (10) measures emitted radiation from both the remote object (17) and from the environment, and the other detector (12) measures radiation predominantly from the environment alone. The output signals from the two detectors (10,12) are processed electronically to yield the detected radiation from the remote object alone. The result can then be electronically processed to display the pyrometrically-measured temperature of the remote object.

Filed: 1989-04-20
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for developing paper images exposed on a tape of photographic paper, the photographic paper tape to be developed passing continuously through the device for developing paper images. The invention is based on the object of improving the developing method in such a way that it fits more profitably into the production and processing sequence (finishing) of paper photographs. This object is achieved by always adjusting the speed of the photographic paper tape running through the developing device to the speed conditions, especially also to a higher working speed, of upstream or downstream working stations. A device according to the invention for developing paper images, having a housing in which deflection rolls for deflecting and guiding the photographic paper tape to be developed are arranged on at least two different height levels, is distinguished in that at least one of the deflection rollers is displaceably arranged in such a way that its distance from the other deflection roller level is variable. <IMAGE>

Patent EP-0376150-A3 (EP)
Title: Internal-combustion engine having two hydraulic liquid loops
IPC: F01M1/16
Filed: 1989-12-21
Abstract: An internal-combustion engine having two hydraulic fluid circuits which are connected in parallel and are supplied by means of a bypass restrictor on the control valve, from a source having a pump. Hydraulic circuits having two parallel loops in a supply unit which are supplied by means of a pump and in which one circuit has control valves with a specific opening pressure and with a specific flow characteristic generally provide an inadequate supply to one of the two loops under specific transient, operationally-dependent conditions. In the case of the fluid circuit with valves, one control valve is integrated with a bypass restrictor, as a result of which the inadequate supply of the loop provided with valves is circumvented such that a minimum supply of this loop is made possible even when the valve is closed. <IMAGE>
Patent EP-0376635-A3 (EP)
Title: Transient electromagnetic method for detecting irregularities on conductive containers
IPC: G01N27/20
Filed: 1989-12-21
Abstract: A transient electromagnetic method for detecting 
irregularities on container walls by measuring wall 
thickness. The method utilizes a transmitting antenna 
and a separate receiving antenna arranged in a loop-loop 
configuration. The transmitting antenna induces current 
into the container wall and the receiving antenna and the 
receiver detect the decay of the induced current, which 
is then analyzed to detect wall thickness. A receiving 
antenna array of many receiving antennas is used to 
increase the spatial resolution. Simultaneous 
measurement of the induced current by the receiving 
antennas reduces noise that is coherent across the array. 
Use of a noise antenna located so as to be unaffected by 
the transmitting antenna further reduces noise. The 
received signal from the receiving antenna array is 
displayed on a two-dimensional display in a spatial 
arrangement that corresponds to the spatial arrangement 
of the receiving antennas. The display can be scrolled 
over the time range of the received signals to produce a 
moving image, so that irregular areas can be more easily 
detected than with a static display.

Title: Optical recording element and optical data retrieval system for use with the same
IPC: G11B7/00
Filed: 1989-12-27
Abstract: In the optical recording element of the invention, 
alignments of long thin pits inclined in various 
directions with respect to the track direction are formed 
on the tracks and information is recorded therein 
according to the different inclines of the pits, thereby 
performing higher-density and larger-volume recording 
without reducing the spacing between each pit and the 
track pitch.  
     The invention also discloses an optical data 
retrieval system for use with the above optical recording 
element, which scans the pit alignments with a laser beam 
spot, detects the inclines of the pits by obtaining the 
distribution of the intensity of reflected light which is 
caused by light diffraction at the pits, and plays back 
information in accordance with the inclines. Therefore, 
not only can the substantially same structure as that of a 
standard type optical data retrieval system be applied to 
the invention without making any complicated change, but 
also cross-talk is less likely to be produced in the read 
out signals.

Title: Method of hydraulic fracture of subterranean formation
IPC: E21B43/16
Filed: 1991-02-19
Abstract: A first zone (I) of a subterranean formation is 
hydraulically fractured with a first fluid (A), and an 
adjacent second zone (II), with a second fluid (B) which 
preferably is chemically reactive with the first fluid to 
produce a precipitate or gel upon contact therewith. 
Preferably, the fluids are separated from one another in the 
wellbore (4) and are pumped into their respective zones at 
approximately the same rate so that they spread radially 
outward from the wellbore into the formation. Upon contact, 
the two fluids preferably react with one another to form a 
precipitate or gel at the interface between the two zones, 
thereby arresting further fracture propagation between the 
zones.
