IPC: E21B23/14
Filed: 1997-03-29
Abstract: The method pulls pipes or cables into a pilot bore using a drill string which is driven in rotation and/or pulled. The tractive force between string and expansion head, tube or cable is continuously measured, the value being transmitted to its drive unit in real time.   Parameters influencing traction are adjusted, as a function of the given permissible loading of the pipe or cable. Also claimed is the corresponding equipment comprising drive (1), controller (2), drill-string (3), tensile coupling (7), drill string (3) and/or expansion head, with pipe (8) or cable. A unit (10,11,12) transmits the measured value to the drive.

Abstract: An inference rule determining process according to the present invention sequentially determines, using a learning function of a neural network model, a membership function representing a degree which the conditions of the IF part of each inference rule is satisfied when input data is received to thereby obtain an optimal inference result without using experience rules. The inventive inference device uses an inference rule of the type "IF...THEN..." and includes a membership value determiner (1) which includes all of IF part and has a neural network; individual inference quantity determiners (21) - (2r) which correspond to the respective THEN parts of the inference rules and determine the corresponding inference quantities for the inference rules; and a final inference quantity determiner which determines these inference quantities synthetically to obtain the final results of the inference. If the individual inference quantity determiners (2) each has a neural network structure, the non-linearity of the neural network models is used to obtain the result of the inference with high inference accuracy even if an object to be inferred is non-linear. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An instrument display method and system for use in a passenger vehicle has a number of advantageous features including particularly novel, compact, inexpensive and inherently stable electric motors. A first motor includes a rotor assembly having a shaft and a cylindrical magnet which is positioned about a stator assembly to rotate thereabout. The shaft extends through a stator of the stator assembly, a vacuum fluorescent display (VFD), and an indicia bearing layer. A mask such as a needle pointer is secured to the shaft of the rotor assembly at the indicia bearing layer to convey the value of instrument data to the passenger. A light emitting panel receives light from the VFD and transmits the light to other positions along the display system where other substantially identical electric motors move their needle pointers to likewise convey additional data to the passenger. The first motor is surface mounted directly on the back of the VFD which has electrical conductors formed therein. The other motors are mounted so that their shafts extend through the optical sheet and the indicia bearing layer. In one embodiment, a light beam projecting mechanism projects light beams modified by the various needle pointers to a reflective surface which, in turn, reflects the modified light beams toward the passenger. In another embodiment, the projecting mechanism includes a combiner which projects the modified light beams into the passenger's field of view.

Abstract: A system is disclosed for monitoring the use of water in an individual unit of a multi-unit building wherein the multi-unit building is supplied water from a common source (10) and the individual unit has a plurality of water consuming structures each supplied by one or a pair of water pipes (15) supplied from the common source. A monitcr (19) determines the volumetric flow through each of the pipes, each of said monitors, and periodically transmits a signal encoded with the volumetric flow of the pipe and the identification of the individual unit in which the pipe is located. A remote receiver receives the encoded signals from each of the monitors and computes a total volumetric flow of water for the individual unit for a selected period of time. Additionally, continuous volumetric flow through the pipe proximate the water consuming structure during a predetermined period of time can be predetermined time so that an alarm signal can be transmitted in the event that it is determined that flow to the water consuming structure has been continuous for the predetermined time. The use of heat energy in the water devices can be monitored to define the heat energy use. The remote receiver receives the encoded signals from each of the monitors, defines a total volumetric flow of water and /or total heat energy use for the individual unit for a selected period of time, computes a water consumption/heat energy charge and prepares and forwards a bill to the individual unit.

Abstract: An ink jet apparatus has a piezoelectric ceramic
arrangement including a plurality of grooves filled with
ink. The grooves are separated from one another by side
walls, and the inside of the grooves are partially furnished
with electrodes. The electrodes receive a driving
voltage to selectively vary the inner volumes of the
grooves based on the piezoelectric thickness slip effect.
The selectively varied inner volumes of the grooves cause
the ink to jet out therefrom. In this structure, the
height of the side walls divided by the width thereof is
at least 2 and at most 9. Using a low driving voltage,
the apparatus boosts the ink pressure within the ink
chambers so as to keep the velocity of jetted ink droplets
sufficiently high and the volume thereof sufficiently
large to form characters and images onto a printing
medium.
