Patent CA-2687127-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SPAHLINGER GUENTER
IPC: G01C19/56
Filed: 2008-03-14
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a switch arrangement for operating a micromechanical capacitive sensor having at least one, and at most two, fixed electrodes (E1, E2) and one differential capacitor formed by a movable central electrode (EO) that can be deflected by an external force, wherein the deflection of said electrode (EO) is measured. The invention provides that a fraction of the force acting on the central electrode corresponding to the electrostatic restorative force be compensated. Under closed-loop operation of the sensor, the selection signal is influenced by a regulator supplementing a restore-crosstalk signal in such a manner that the created capacitive restorative force acts in a compensatory manner against the deflection of the central electrode. Two embodiments of the invention and a measure supplementing said embodiments for optimizing the control are presented.

Patent CA-2708843-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BROOKBANK EARL B
IPC: F04B47/06
Filed: 2010-06-30
Abstract: A vibration monitoring system for an electrical submersible pump (ESP) that includes a fiber optic cable coupled with the ESP and an optical sensor coupled with the fiber optic cable. The optical sensor emits electromagnetic radiation into the fiber optic cable, some of which reflects back from optical discontinuities provided in the fiber optic cable. By receiving the reflected electromagnetic radiation, the optical sensor estimates the location of the optical discontinuities. Displacement and rate of displacement of the optical discontinuities can be estimated when the reflections are received over a period of time. Because the fiber optic cable, and the optical discontinuities, move with the ESP, displacement measurements of the optical discontinuities correlate to ESP  movement, including ESP vibration.

Abstract: Provided are methods of liquefaction, saccharification and fermentation of pre-treated lignocellulosic biomass in production of bioethanol. Addition of PEG or surfactant is effective to enhance cellulase hydrolysis yields at high dry matter ( >  20%) at surprisingly low concentrations compared with comparable results in low dry matter hydrolysis. This effect is most pronounced at comparatively low cellulase loading < 7 FPU (g DM)-1. At high dry matter content, cellulase enzyme consumption can be reduced, without loss of hydrolysis yield, by addition of small quantities of PEG or surfactant.
