Abstract: The invention concerns a so-called capstan winch ( 1 ) comprising drums ( 2, 3 ) driving a cable (C) and provided with a peripheral wall ( 22, 32 ) around which are strung independent peripheral rings ( 40-45, 50-55 ). Said rings are provided with a peripheral groove designed to receive the cable (C) and are made of an elastic material so as to allow both the cable (C) to be driven and a relative sliding movement between the peripheral rings ( 40-45, 50-55 ) and the peripheral wall ( 22, 32 ), the relative sliding movement being of amplitude substantially equal to longitudinal deformation of the cable (C), when it is subjected to tension stresses. The two drums ( 2, 3 ) can be axially offset relative to each other (p/2) and their axes of rotation (Delta<SUB>1</SUB>, Delta<SUB>2</SUB>), may form a non-null angle of inclination. The invention is particular applicable to deep sea oil exploration.

Filed: 2003-10-03
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de détermination de la possibilité d'observer un évènement. L'évènement peut se produire de manière isolée ou en combinaison avec un ou plusieurs autres évènements. Le procédé peut être non combinatoire en ce qu'il ne nécessite pas de calcul séparé pour chaque évènement se produisant simultanément, réduisant ainsi de manière significative le temps de calcul pour des systèmes complexes dans lesquels se produisent de multiples évènements. De plus, le procédé peut être numériquement inversé pour calculer la probabilité d'un évènement se produisant en fonction du nombre d'observations. Ce procédé sert, en particulier, à prévoir la disponibilité, les défaillances des composants, ou la possibilité d'un faux départ dans des systèmes de production.

Title: Fuel injector, burner and method of injecting fuel
Inventor: GODON GILLES
IPC: F23D14/64
Filed: 2006-02-24
Abstract: A primary flow of the burner air stream is slowed relatively to a secondary flow of the air stream. Fuel is injected at a lower rate into the primary flow, which generates a more stable flame, and fuel is injected at a higher rate into the secondary flow, which generates a stronger flame. If the stronger flame is blown out, fuel in the secondary flow can be lit by the flame from the primary flow.
