Abstract: L'invention concerne une méthode de séparation de composés sulffurés d'un mélange hydrocarboné à l'aide d'une membrane. Des mélanges hydrocarbonés préférés sont des fractions de raffinage du pétrole, telles que du naphta léger soumis à un craquage. Les membranes sont composées de matériaux ioniques ou de matériaux non ioniques mais, de préférence, de composés sulffurés perméats sur d'autres hydrocarbures. Un système de membrane simple ou multicellulaire sépare le mélange hydrocarboné en fraction riche en soufre et en fraction pauvre en soufre. La fraction pauvre en soufre peut être utilisée dans des mélanges combustibles et la fraction riche en soufre peut être soumise à un nouveau traitement pour réduire le soufre.

IPC: F04B11/00

Abstract: Since many valves are used, pressure loss is large, resulting in low reliability of a pump. Even when the period of increasing and decreasing the volume of a pump chamber is long, and a piezoelectric element is used as an actuator that drives a diaphragm, a driving operation cannot be carried out at a high frequency, or a proper flow rate cannot be realized under a high load pressure.The combined inertance value of an entrance passage used to make working fluid flow into a pump chamber is smaller than the combined inertance value of an exit passage used to make the working fluid flow out from the pump chamber. At the entrance passage is provided a fluid resistance member in which fluid resistance when the working fluid flows into the pump chamber is smaller than fluid resistance when the working fluid flows out.

Abstract: A method and system for synchronization of data stores is described. A
synchronization initiator sends a sync key to a synchronization partner requesting to
synchronize to some checkpoint. An integer is used as the sync key. When the sent
sync key is zero the synchronization partner performs an initial synchronization.
When the sent sync key is a value other than zero, the synchronization partner
attempts to synchronize to the desired state. The value of the sync key is
incremented only upon successful synchronization. A sync server can also include a
sync key with change update notifications sent to a sync client, which the client can
use to determine if the update notification is a valid update from the current sync
state or is a delayed and obsolete update that should be discarded.

Abstract: An integrated circuit device including a first RF power field-effect transistor
(T3) having a gate, and biasing means (14) for applying a bias voltage (V gs ) to the
gate. The biasing means (14) includes a second field-effect transistor (T1) biased
by resistors (R1, R2, R3) so that the quiescent current ((I ds ) Q ) of the second
transistor (T1) is substantially independent of chip temperature (operation at the
zero-temperature-coefficient point). The biasing means (14) also includes a third
field-effect transistor (T2) biased by a voltage that is a fraction of the bias voltage
applied to the second transistor gate (T1) and is a function of quiescent current
((I ds ) Q ) flowing through the second and third transistors (T1, T2), the bias voltage
applied to the first transistor gate (T3) being a function of the bias voltage applied
to the third transistor gate (T2). 
     The transistors (T1, T2, T3) and resistors (R1, R2, R3, R4) are formed on
and in a common integrated circuit substrate and the dispersion of the
characteristics due to production batch variations is low. 
     The biasing circuit provides a high performance in temperature stability

Abstract: An inclusion of liquid crystal in the direct vicinity of the core of
an optical waveguide structured on a substrate allows to build a tunable
optical device. The liquid crystal will replace part of the cladding
material of that integrated structure. The tuning of the optical
property of that liquid crystal, i.e. its refractive index, will
influence directly the mode index of the core. This influence can be of
such amount to allow the control the flow of optical signals transmitted
through it. The tuning is advantageously achieved by applying an
electric field via electrodes to the liquid crystals.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for programming a non-volatile
memory device of the multi-level type, comprising a plurality of
transistor cells grouped into memory words and conventionally provided
with gate and drain terminals. The method applies different drain
voltage values at different threshold values. Such values are directly
proportional to the threshold levels to be attained by the individual
memory word bits, and effective to provide for a simultaneous
attainment of the levels, in a seeking-to manner, of the levels at the end
of a limited number of pulses. 
     Advantageously, a constant gate voltage value is concurrently applied to
the gate terminals of said cells, such that the cell programming time is
unrelated to the threshold level sought.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne des compositions viscoélastiques aqueuses comprenant un tensioactif clivable et éventuellement également un électrolyte. Les tensioactifs clivables utilisables dans le cadre de l'invention comprennent au moins une liaison chimique faible, susceptible de s'interrompre dans des conditions idoines, de façon à produire des produits solubles dans l'huile et des produits solubles dans l'eau sans les propriétés d'interface et de tension superficielle des molécules du tensioactif d'origine. En outre, les propriétés rhéologiques de la composition viscoélastique aqueuse sont généralement modifiées au clivage du tensioactif clivable, ce qui aboutit généralement à la disparition des propriétés d'amélioration de la viscosité, de viscoélasticité et de tension superficielle de la composition. Les compositions viscoélastiques aqueuses de l'invention conviennent particulièrement pour les applications d'exploitation pétrolière, notamment pour la fracturation hydraulique des formations souterraines. L'invention concerne également un fluide de service de puits foré et un procédé de fracturation de formation souterraine. L'invention concerne enfin de nouveaux tensioactifs clivables.
