Patent EP-0507784-A1 (EP)
Inventor: HERKENBERG WOLF
IPC: E02B15/04
Filed: 1990-12-05
Abstract: Des substrats oléophiles hydrophobes en feuilles souples, relativement minces, tels qu'un film de polyéthylène, sont utilisés comme base d'un nouvel agent sorbant en cas de défense contre des nappes de pétrole. Associant une haute densité de stockage à une forte affinité pour le pétrole, les substrats présentés dans cette invention sont destinés à être déployés sur des zones sensibles au large ou près des côtes en tant que première ligne de défense contre des nappes de pétrole qui s'approchent ou pour une intervention rapide afin de contenir le pétrole à proximité de la source d'écoulement. L'efficacité et l'économie pour des applications spécifiques sont obtenues en se basant sur le principe selon lequel l'absorption du pétrole par masse unitaire de substrats sous forme de film augmente si l'on réduit l'épaisseur du substrat. Selon cette invention, le dispositif sorbant spécifique comprend deux films souples (28a, 28b) placés en couches et scellés, qui présentent au niveau de l'un des deux films au moins une pluralité de bulles aplatissables (29) comportant de petites ouvertures (25a, 25b) situées à l'opposé les unes des autres de manière à ce que les bulles aplaties cèdent du volume et se dilatent lorsque le pétrole y pénètre, formant ainsi des poches (23) capables de contenir un volume considérable de pétrole. On peut avantageusement incorporer des additifs décomposant le pétrole au film à partir duquel, selon cette invention, sont fabriqués les dispositifs sorbants.

IPC: E21B43/28
Filed: 1992-06-04
Abstract: In order to avoid reduction in the productivity of a well connecting with a hydrocarbon reservoir in unconsolidated sands as a consequence of the clogging of its filters, the present production process makes provision for allowing the sand to enter the well, then for ensuring that it settles in an underground cavity (10) situated not far from the bottom of the well. This process can, in particular, be used when the reservoir is situated under a bed of rock salt (2), the cavity (10) then being leached from the well itself. In general, it is expedient, to this end, for the volume of the cavity (10) to be sufficiently large for the hydrocarbons passing through the cavity (10) to be driven at a speed less than the sedimentation speed of the sands in the hydrocarbons according to their viscosity at the temperature within the cavity (10). The invention relates to such cavities as well as a related use of the latter as buffer storage in order to provide a povisional store for the hydrocarbons produced. <IMAGE>

Title: Method of reading data off a rotating disk-shaped recording medium.
Inventor: BAAS DIETER
IPC: G11B7/09
Filed: 1992-02-04
Abstract: A disc playback apparatus includes a system for scanning a disc and storing in memory, an address associated with every point on the disc where the scanning device mistracks. A modified regulating signal is calculated for guiding the scanning device back onto the desired data track, from the value of the regulating signal generated by the tracking regulation circuit prior to track loss. The modified regulating signal is also stored in the memory, and during every subsequent reading of the disc, upon encountering track areas associated with stored addresses, the tracking regulation circuit is provided a corresponding modified regulating signal in order to maintain the scanning device near the desired data track. In further scans of the disc successive modified track regulating signals are iteratively generated and tested for tracking response until a substantially optimum modified signal is generated. The optimum modified regulating signal is then stored in memory associated with the address of respective disc defects. The optimum regulating signal is determinable by monitoring the polarity of the tracking signal after application of the modified signal. The first occurrence of a polarity change is an indication that the respective iteration of generating a modified signal has produced the desired signal.
