Filed: 1996-04-10
Abstract: A portable computing device is used for acoustic testing of valve systems for valve leaks. Transducers are applied to appropriate locations in the valve system to obtain sound signals, which are fast Fourier transformed into valve signatures. Multiple signatures are displayed simultaneously and are compared automatically by the system to derive a recommended result and manually to make determinations of valve leaks by the differential signature method or the like. The signatures and the user's determinations are stored on a hard drive. Various panels are displayed to give the user step-by-step instructions for performing the test. Thus, training is simplified, use of paper is vastly reduced or eliminated entirely, and the results can be ported to the client's office computers.

Title: Glass tube shaping device
Inventor: DIECKOW BERNHARD
IPC: C03B23/09
Filed: 1994-12-22
Abstract: In a device for shaping glass tubes (32), the shaping tools (3, 4) which are designed as shaping rollers, are mounted on a rotary table (2) that encloses the glass tube (32) and that rotates at a speed that is several times higher than the speed of rotation of the glass tube (32). The shaping tools (3, 4) are moved in a perpendicular direction to the longitudinal axis (40) of the glass tube (32) in order to shape it. The relatively high speed of rotation of the rotary table (2) allows the advance of the shaping tools per rotation of the rotary table (2) and at the same time the forces that act on the softened part of the glass tube (32) to be kept small.

Title: Capteur
Inventor: MACQ DAMIEN LUC FRANCOIS
IPC: H04L1/24
Filed: 1996-08-27
Abstract: The sensing circuit is used in an Asymetric Digital Subscriber Line transmission system to detect a wave signal with a predetermined shape in an input signal (11/12) transmitted over the system and applied to an input terminal (11/12) of the sensing circuit. It includes two branches with a correlated double sampling circuit (CDS1/CDS2), a counter circuit (C1/C2) and a comparator circuit (CMP1/CMP2) coupled in series. An input (11, 12) of the correlated double sampling circuit of each branch is coupled to the input of the sensing circuit and an output of the comparator circuits is coupled to an output terminal (OUT) of the sensing circuit via an OR-ing circuit. The correlated double sampling circuits are adapted to provide a sampled signal and the counter circuits count the number of pulses of the sampled signals. The thus obtained count values are in the comparators compared with a predetermined value corresponding with the count value which should be obtained when the input signal is a, possibly distorted, signal with the above mentioned predetermined shape. The sensing circuit is clocked by two clock signals, one for each branch, which are in quadrature.

Filed: 1995-04-12
Abstract: A method of reducing the nitrogen oxide level in the flue gases issuing from combustion units by introduction of reducing agents into contact with gases containing nitrogen oxides in first and second reducing stages, is provided. The first reducing stage is a non-catalytic stage (e.g. at temperatures over 800 DEG  C.), while the second stage is a catalytic stage (e.g. at temperatures of about 300 DEG -400 DEG  C.). A steam generation boiler with improved nitrogen reduction facilities is also provided. The amount of nitrogen oxides in the hot gases is reduced in the combination of the first and second reducing stages while producing steam in a steam generation boiler system, thus resulting in gases essentially free from nitrogen oxides while eliminating the possibility of NH3 (or other reducing agent) slip in the exhausted flue gases. Heat transfers in a convection section as used to establish stabilized temperature conditions for catalytic reduction.

Title: Downhole production well control system and method
Inventor: TUBEL PAULO S
IPC: E21B47/06
Filed: 1996-02-09
Abstract: A downhole production well control system is provided for automatically controlling downhole tools in response to sensed selected downhole parameters. An important feature of this invention is that the automatic control is initiated downhole without an initial control signal from the surface or from some other external source. This control system generally comprises downhole sensors, downhole electromechanical devices and downhole computerized control electronics whereby the control electronics automatically control the electromechanical devices based on input from the downhole sensors. Thus, using the downhole sensors, the downhole computerized control system will monitor actual downhole parameters (such as pressure, temperature, flow, gas influx, etc.) and automatically execute control instructions when the monitored downhole parameters are outside a selected operating range (e.g., indicating an unsafe condition). The automatic control instructions will then cause an electromechanical control device (such as a valve) to actuate a suitable tool (for example, actuate a sliding sleeve or packer; or close a pump or other fluid flow device). The downhole control system of this invention also includes transceivers for two-way communication with the surface as well as a telemetry device for communicating from the surface of the production well to a remote location.

IPC: A61B5/022
Filed: 1995-04-03
Abstract: A monitor for continuously determining a patient's physiological parameter includes a means for obtaining a periodic calibration measurement of the patient's physiological parameter.  An exciter, positioned over an artery of the patient induces an exciter waveform into the patient's arterial blood.  A noninvasive sensor, positioned over the artery, senses a hemoparameter and provides a noninvasive sensor signal output representative of the hemoparameter.  A processor receives the calibration measurement and noninvasive sensor signal output.  The processor determines a DC offset based on the calibration measurement and processes the noninvasive sensor signal to continuously determine the patient's physiological parameter.  A method includes steps for performing the present invention.  In the preferred embodiment, the physiological parameter measured is blood pressure, however, the present invention can also be used to analyze and track other physiological parameters such as vascular wall compliance, strength of ventricular contractions, vascular resistance, fluid volume, cardiac output, myocardial contractility and other related parameters.
