Title: A method of seismic surveying and a seismic surveying arrangement
Inventor: LAAKE ANDREAS
IPC: G01N1/00
Filed: 2001-12-22
Granted: 2005-06-15
Abstract: A method of seismic surveying A method of seismic surveying comprises the step of acquiring imaging seismic data relating to an underlying geological structure at a survey location and simultaneously, or substantially simultaneously, acquiring statics seismic data relating to the near-surface (5) at the survey location. The method may use an imaging source (12) to acquire the imaging seismic data and a separate statics source (13,13') to acquire the statics seismic data. Alternatively only an imaging source (12) may be used, and the statics seismic data may be obtained from surface waves, airwaves or ground-roll waves that are generated by the imaging source and that have hitherto been regarded only as unwanted noise.

Title: Refrigeration method and apparatus
IPC: F25J1/02
Filed: 1985-07-23
Granted: 1988-01-27
Abstract: A stream of permanent gas such as nitrogen at elevated pressure is cooled to below its critical temperature by heat exchange with work-expanded working fluid. The stream 2 is then further cooled in heat exchanger 4 and successfully flashed through at least three expansion valves 6, 12 and 16. Resulting flash gas is separated from liquid gas in separators 10, 14 and 18 respectively. The flash gas is passed through the heat exchanger 4 to provide cooling for such heat exchanger. By performing at three such successive isenthalpic expansions instead of the conventional one or two expansions, greater thermodynamic efficiency can be achieved enabling more favourable conditions to be set for the work expansion of the working fluid.

Date Oct. 29, 1992An electroluminescent silicon device (10) includes a silicon structure (12) which comprises a bulk silicon layer (14) and a porous silicon layer (16). The porous layer (16) has merged pores (20) which define silicon quantum wires (18). The quantum wires (18) have a surface passivation layer (22). The porous layer (16) exhibits photoluminescence under ultra-violet irradiation. The porous layer (16) is pervaded by a conductive material such as an electrolyte (24) or a metal (48). The conductive material (24) ensures that an electrically continuous current path extends through the porous layer (16); it does not degrade the quantum wire surface passivation (22) sufficiently to render the quantum wires (18) non-luminescent, and it injects minority carriers into the quantum wires. An electrode (26) contacts the conductive material (24) and the bulk silicon layer has an Ohmic contact (28). When biased the electrode (26) is the anode and the silicon structure (12) is the cathode. Electroluminescence is then observed in the visible region of the spectrum.

A motor forgórészénél elhelyezett pozíciódetektorokjeléből egyrészt a tényleges fordulatszámmal arányos ellenőrző jeletállítanak elő, másrészt – adott esetben külön digitalizálva – aforgórész pozícióját kifejező jelcsoportot állítanak elő. Egymemóriaegységben (15) előre betárolják a forgórész pozícióját kifejezőösszes lehetséges jelcsoportot olyan sorrendben, ahogy a motor forgásasorán is keletkeznek. A motor forgása során keletkező, a forgórésztényleges pozícióját kifejező jelcsoportot egy komparátoregységben(16) folyamatosan összehasonlítják a tárolt jelcsoportokkal. Azeljárást az jellemzi, hogy a motor indításakor a forgórész ténylegespozícióját kifejező jelcsoportot szinkronizálják egy tároltjelcsoporttal, és a továbbiakban a forgórész helyes pozícióváltásakora komparátoregység (1) jelével a memóriaegységből (15) kiválasztják aforgásirány-alapjel (FWD/REW) alapján a kívánt forgásirány szerintikövetkező tárolt jelcsoportot.
