Abstract: La présente invention concerne des films fluoropolymères multi-couches à orientation biaxiale. Ces films sont produits par coextrusion ou par stratification de films qui présentent une couche d'un fluoropolymère, au moins une couche d'un homopolymère ou d'un copolymère thermoplastique, et une couche adhésive intermédiaire qui est de préférence une polyoéfine pourvue d'au moins un fragment fonctionnel d'un acide carboxylique non saturé ou d'un anhydride. Avec une telle structure, la couche thermoplastique permet à la couche fluoropolymère d'être allongée biaxialement à plusieurs reprises dans le sens de la longueur. Un taux élevé d'orientation du film fluoropolymère permet d'augmenter la résistance mécanique dudit film, sa ténacité, ses propriétés à effet barrière et sont taux de transmission de la vapeur d'eau, tout en utilisant un calibre de film fluoropolymère plus fin. Le traitement par coextrusion peut être réalisé à des températures plus élevées, par exemple entre 280  DEG C et 400  DEG C environ. Ces températures permettent de produire des films sans pour autant altérer le polymère ou provoquer une fracture de fusion du film.

Abstract: A locking telescoping joint is for use in a conduit connected to a wellhead, which permits the conduit to be axially displaced to a new position in the well bore without disconnecting the conduit from the wellhead, and secured in the new position. The locking telescoping joint includes two telescopically interconnected tubular sections which are relatively movable between a fully retracted and a fully extended position and can be locked in a desired position. In contrast with telescoping joints without the locking function which is useful to axially display downhole tools attached to the bottom end of the conduit. The locking telescoping joint enables the use of the telescoping joint to be extended into new applications, such as placing and maintaining a tubing string in tension or compression. The use of the locking telescoping joint reduces the time and cost of many well completion and maintenance operations and thereby reduces the cost of producing hydrocarbons.

Abstract: An application usage time limiter monitors certain pre-configured application programs when opened or otherwise executed on a computer (e.g. a PC). The application usage time limiter is itself a program running either as a front end to various selected programs for monitoring, or as a separate program running in a time-sharing operating system environment. Pre--configurable options in a usage limiter configuration file or other memory area are set to limit real time ranges that particular application programs on a particular computer can be started and run, and a limit to a length of time that a specific program (or category of programs) can be operated given a number of available credits for a current user. The user is given credits at a pre--configured rate per hour of usage of an application program designated in the usage limiter configuration file as being beneficial, and the user gives back (or looses) credits at a pre-configured rate per hour of usage for use of programs designated as non-beneficial. Preferably, continued usage of beneficial programs is detected, e.g., by keystrokes. Application programs selected for monitoring in the usage limiter configuration file can be identified on an application by application basis, as a specific category of applications identifiable when the particular application is started, or as being stored in a specific directory (e.g., folder in a WINDOWS.TM. operating system). A credit--giving (i.e., beneficial program) must be run by a particular user to earn credits before a credit-taking (i.e., non-beneficial program) can be run by that user. Up front credits may be provided to a particular user in a user log.

Abstract: Improved steam generating apparatus in the form of a thin, compact generally-self-contained wall-mountable fixture. The fixture includes an upright front face section of porcelain or the like for being mounted in the wall of a shower or other enclosed steam room. The fixture further includes a frame that is fixed to the rear of the face section and supports a closed steam tank or boiler. A steam line delivers live steam from the boiler into the steam room. An improved steam head delivers the steam safely and with minimum noise. The fixture may also include a mirror and be mounted so that the mirror is face height of a standing user. The mirror is positioned adjacent to the boiler so that heat radiated from the boiler warms the mirror and inhibits it becoming fogged over by the steam in the room. The fixture also includes an electrical control system that is operable by the user from inside the steam room. The control system automatically maintains the user-preselected steam room temperature by regulating the power to the boiler so that steam is generated without interruption and after equilibrium is reached there are no noticeable changes in the room temperature.

Inventor: NAGATA SHOUICHI
IPC: F28B11/00
Filed: 2000-12-20
Granted: 2005-11-01
Abstract: A gas turbine control apparatus for a single-shaft type combined cycle power plant is provided by which gas turbine output is accurately computed during a circulating water reversing wash. operation. Vacuum down amount is computed from a generator output signal (31) immediately before the mentioned reversing wash operation and is corrected by being multiplied by a valve opening correction factor computed from a condenser reversing valve opening signal (41) and a sea water temperature correction factor computed from a condenser reversing valve inlet sea water temperature signal (47). A condenser vacuum at the time of the reversing wash operation is computed by the corrected vacuum down amount being subtracted therefrom. A vacuum correction factor is computed based on the computed condenser vacuum. A reference steam turbine output is computed based on a post-intercept valve steam pressure signal (34) and a steam turbine output signal (54) is computed by multiplying the reference steam turbine output by the vacuum correction factor. A gas turbine output signal (55) is computed by subtracting the steam turbine output signal (54) from the generator output signal (31).

Title: Process for radar measurements of the movement of city areas and landsliding zones
Inventor: ROCCA FABIO
IPC: G01V3/12
Filed: 2000-04-20
Granted: 2008-12-09
Abstract: Process for radar measurements of movements of city areas and landsliding zones, characterised in that permanent scatterers are identified through the analysis of N-1 differential interferograms with respect to the same image (master), using a reference digital elevation model (DEM) with vertical precision better that 50 metres. For every pixel of the image selected on the satistical properties of the modulus of the reflectivity, a temporal series of the interferometric phases is generated. Then, differences among temporal series that belong to neighbouring pixels are formed (differential temporal series). For every differential temporal series, the linear phase components are calculated in relation to the baseline and the phase components connected to the displacement model, already known, in relation to the time. The relative error between the precise elevation of the pixel and that supplied from the reference DEM is associated with the linear phase component of the differential temporal series in relation to the baseline.
