Title: Photoionisation detectors
Inventor: DEAN FRANK WILLIAM HOULTON
IPC: G01M3/20
Filed: 1997-09-02
Abstract: In a photoionisation detector (PID) in which a gas or vapour is passed through a sampling chamber 11 between inlet and outlet ports 15,116 and radiation, e.g. uv, is shone through a window 19 in the chamber to ionise material which is then attracted to positive and negative electrodes 123,124, the negative electrode 123 is located centrally opposite the window and is encircled by a cavity 117 leading to the outlet port. The positive electrode 124 may be a ring positioned near the window but shielded from it by an annular wall 25.

Inventor: BAILEY MARSHALL GRAHAM
IPC: E21B21/06
Filed: 1998-10-21
Abstract: A method of treating solids generated during a drilling process for storage and transportation. Drilling mud is supplied to the platform 10, by pumping from a supply ship 44. By-products, such as oily cuttings, are transported by the ship back to a shore-based cuttings processing facility, where the oily cuttings are cleaned. The cuttings are mixed with a drilling mud based, thixotropic carrier fluid, to form a slurry. The slurry is stored in a retention tank 82 located low down on the platform, and pumped into a tank 47 on a ship which has conveyed drilling mud to the platform, for transporting the slurry to a shore based retention tank 58 into which it is pumped from the ship's tank. On-shore processing involves separating the cuttings from the carrier fluid, and cleaning the cuttings for dumping. Agitation means for agitating the slurry, to prevent solids settlement, are provided in the platform slurry retention tank 82. Pipe means 46 for conveying slurry to and drilling mud from the storage tank on the supply vessel, and pump means 84 for pumping said slurry to the storage tank, through the said pipe means, are also provided.

Title: Apparatus for determining the position of trains
IPC: B61L1/16
Filed: 1983-09-21
Abstract: The invention relates to a device for train location and track-free signalling in the field of an electronic actuator, the actuating groups of which contain microcomputers and are connected to one another via geographic data lines arranged according to the route of the track. Axle counter results acquired at counting points arranged between the actuating elements are passed on along the set routes from actuating group to actuating group. The track-free signalling and the train location occur, using the microcomputer of the actuating groups, by comparing the axle counts registered at the individual counting points. If the distances between the individual counting points are stored, the speed of the vehicles can be determined by means of a real-time determination of the passage of the first axles of the vehicles.
