Title: Pulse radar and method of generating a range profile signal
Inventor: FRANCOIS THOUMY
IPC: G01S13/28
Filed: 2017-09-08
Abstract: Pulse radar system and method of generating a range profile signal, comprising receiving a reflected signal at a pulse radar, resulting from a transmission of a coded pulse signal modulated at stepped carrier frequencies; then generating correlation signals 510 by applying cross correlations between the coded pulse signal and the received signal. An Inverse Fourier Transform is conditionally applied on synthesized signals 520 depending on respective values, which may be based on the energy value of said synthesized signals; wherein each synthesized signal is formed by values of different correlation signals. A range profile signal is then generated comprising at least one outcome of the applied Inverse Fourier Transform. The number (N) of simultaneous IFTs that can be applied may be determined based on available resources, with only the synthesised signals having the highest energy values allowed to undergo IFT. Radar system and method also exist for a pulse signal reflected from at least two targets, whereby the IFT is applied on a sum of at least two synthesised signals related to the two targets. It may be determined if the targets move between range bins on consecutive scans.

Title: Method and installation for stabilizing petroleum fluid streams
Inventor: KRISTOFER GUNNAR PASO
IPC: F16L53/70
Filed: 2018-04-24
Abstract: A processing installation for stabilizing a petroleum fluid in a flow path comprises a multi-tube heat exchanger 3 and an equilibration chamber 4 immediately following the multi-tube heat exchanger. The petroleum fluid is cooled by flowing through the heat exchanger to encourage the formation of deposits on the walls of the tubes of the heat exchanger. The cooled petroleum then enters the equilibration chamber. Periodically, and sequentially, the deposits in the individual tubes are thermally removed by dissolution and/or detachment from the wall of the tube during continuing flow of the petroleum fluid. The fluid flow in each tube is then recombined in the equilibration chamber. In one aspect the heat exchanger and the equilibration chamber have electrically conducting walls, which with the equilibration chamber is periodically used during a cleaning mode. Another aspect features a thermally conductive outer coating to the tubes of the heat exchanger and the equilibration chamber, and electrical connectors which support the flow of an electrical current through the wall of each tube and separately the equilibration chamber.
