Patent EP-0186969-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BULOW ROLAND ERIC
IPC: B63B27/34
Filed: 1985-11-27
Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for maintaining fluid low between a subsea wellhead riser conduit 10, 12, 14 and a weathervaning floating production, storage and off-loading [FPSO) vessel without swivel or sliding seals. The riser conduit 10,  1 2, 14 is divided into first and second flowpaths A, B which terminate in connectors 22, 2 4 . First and second drums 34, 36, coaxially mounted for rotation about a vertical axis, have connectors 26, 28 which are connectable with the flowpath connectors 22, 2 4 . The drum connectors 26, 28 are connected to one end of flexible pipes, 41, 41, 43, 50, 51, 52, at least partially wound around a respective drum, with the other end tensioned and connected fixably to the FPSO vessel. Enough flexible pipe is on each drum 34, 36 to permit the drum to rotate about a connection arc of greater than 180° when its respective connector 26, 28 connects one flowpath with the FPSO vessel. The connectors and drums are disposed such that each connection arc overlaps the other arc at both ends of each arc. Fluid flow is maintained through the first flowpath A until the weathervaning vessel approaches the end of the connection arc of the first drum, 34. After the overlap region is reached flow is established in the second flowpath B through the second drum 36 and flowpath connector 24. When the end of the connection arc of the first drum 34 is reached, the first flowpath connector 22 is disconnected thereby terminating fluid flow in the first flowpath A while fluid flow is maintained in the second flowpath B. Should further weathervaning continue such that the first drum connection arc is again reached, reconnection of the first drum 34 and flowpath A occurs.

Abstract: Kationisch polymerisierbare Materialien, wie Epoxidharze, Phenolplaste und Aminoplaste werden dadurch polymerisiert, dass man durch ein Stoffgemisch, enthaltend (A) ein kationisch polymerisierbares Material, und (B) einen Bortrifluoridkomplex, zwischen einer mit dem Stoffgemisch in Berührung stehenden Anode und Kathode elektrischen Strom durch leitet, wodurch auf der Anode polymerisiertes Material abgeschieden wird. Als Komplexe (B) können beispielsweise Bortrifluorid-Komplexe mit primären, sekundären oder tertiären Aminen oder mit Trialkyl- oder Triarylphosphinen verwendet werden. Das Verfahren eignet sich besonders zum Beschichten von leitenden Substraten, wobei eine rasche Hartung erzielt wird, ohne dass spezielle Formulierungen erforderlich sind, um das Polymere galvanisch abscheidbar zu machen.

Abstract: Un matelas (2) en mousse à cellules ouvertes est enfermé dans une enveloppe (10) étanche à l'air et susceptible d'être connectée à une source d'aspiration pour aplatir le matelas par aspiration. Dans des subdivisions partielles (6) du corps du matelas (2), le matériau en mousse est remplacé par des corps (8, 22) en un matériau ayant une forme plus stable et dont la hauteur ne sera guère changée lors de l'aplatissement par aspiration. Cette hauteur est inférieure à la hauteur du corps du matelas (2) dans sa condition normale, mais est supérieure à la hauteur du corps du matelas dans son état aplati par aspiration. Lorsque l'on applique et relâche alternativement l'aspiration, une personne couchée sur le matelas sera soutenue sur des subdivisions alternantes correspondantes (2, 8), étant donné que le corps du matelas aplati par aspiration reprendra ses dimensions normales par sa propre elasticité lorsque l'aspiration est relâchée. L'invention permet d'obtenir un matelas léger et économique, particulièrement utile dans des hôpitaux étant donné que les équipements d'aspiration requis pour le fonctionnement du matelas sont déjà disponibles dans la plupart des hôpitaux, alors que des sources de fluides pressurisés pour actionner des matelas conventionnels à pression alternante nécessitent un équipement supplémentaire à cet effet.

Abstract: A method for the oxidative conversion of a feed material comprising methane, such as natural gas, to higher hydrocarbons, particularly ethylene and ethane and desirably ethylene, in which feed is contacted with a solid contact material comprising cobalt; at least one metal selected from the group consisting of zirconium, zinc, niobium, indium, lead and bismuth, preferably, zirconium; phosphorous; at least one Group IA metal; and oxygen under oxidative conversion conditions sufficient to convert the methane to the higher hydrocarbons. Substantial improvement in the conversion of methane and selectivity to ethylene and ethane is obtained by adding chlorine to the contact material. The further addition of sulfur to the contact material also improves the conversion and selectivity and permits the method to be carried out in an essentially continuous manner in the presence of a free oxygen containing gas.

Abstract: A hydraulic control system for a continuously variable pulley-type transmission has a torque-sensing mechanism (40,42) which is responsive to the torque transmitted by a gearing arrangement (14) drivingly connected to the variable pulley drive (12). The torque-sensing mechanism controls a valve (50) which supplies a pressure signal to a control valve (82) for the variable pulley drive. The control valve, in response to the pressure signal and a position signal from the variable pulley drive, controls the flow of pressure fluid to and from a hydraulic control mechanism (28). The hydraulic control mechanism controls the torque capacity of the variable pulley drive.

Abstract: Apparatus and a method for determining a quench-indicating parameter of a test sample utilizing a liquid scintillation counter are disclosed. The number of counts in a spectrum resulting from subtraction of a spectrum generated without an external source of radiation from a spectrum generated with an external source of radiation is utilized. The total number of counts is cumulatively summed from a higher energy level to a lower energy level and a curve representing this sum is generated. A portion of this curve is fitted with a function such as a straight line and the intersection of that function with the zero count axis is the intersection energy level which is an indication of the measure of quench of the test sample.

Abstract: L'homogénéïsation de la directivité d'une sonde acoustique est obtenue par interposition d'une lame absorbante (14). L'épaisseur (e) de la lame varie en fonction des coordonnées des points de la lame. Le matériau constituant la lame possède un coefficient d'absorption dépendant de la fréquence. Le profil de la lame est déterminé par la connaissance de la loi de variation de ce coefficient d'absorption en fonction de la fréquence. On montre que la figure de directivité (xz) d'une sonde munie d'une telle lame est indépendante de la fréquence de travail. L'invention trouve son application particulièrement en échographie médicale pour la caractérisation tissulaire.

Abstract: There is provided a method and apparatus for inside surface finishing with a high degree of dimensional accuracy and axial parallelism for long bores of very small diameter in work pieces. The method employs a high tensile strength steel wire as the grinding tool rotating at high speed under tension just below its yield strength. The wire is reciprocally moved back and forth in an axial direction and is coated with abrasive material. The work piece with the wire passing through its bore to be surface finished, is rotated eccentrically with respect to the wire and is axially parallel thereto. The inner wall of the bore is pressed against the wire which passes therethrough. The apparatus includes two clamping devices which reciprocally move back and forth together with a common base plate and which are rotated by synchronized drives. Between the two clamping devices the wire is stressed under tension, and a work piece holder which can be moved in a vertical direction transverse to the wire rotates the work piece.
