Patent EP-0786673-A3 (EP)
Inventor: LANTIER FRANCOIS
IPC: G01V3/22
Filed: 1993-07-30
Abstract: The sampling process for measuring electrical resistivity by applying an electrical current via two emission electrodes (A,B) and measuring the potential between two measuring electrodes (M) comprises placing a probe containing a number of emission electrodes (A) and a number of measuring electrodes (M) in a drill shaft, with the number of emission electrodes being greater than the number of measuring electrodes. The emission electrodes are spaced at regular intervals and the measuring electrodes are placed centrally between the emission electrodes along the length of the probe. A fixed emission electrode (B) is placed "at infinity". The emission electrodes are supplied in turn and the potential between a pair of measuring electrodes is measured to obtain information representing the soil at the level of that pair of electrodes and at different positions in the soil relative to the probe, each position being related to one emission electrode. The above step is repeated for the different pairs of measuring electrodes to obtain information representing the soil at various levels. Also claimed are: (i) the application of the above process to controlling the injection of material such as concrete or grout into the soil; (ii) a probe for use in the above process; and (iii) a sampling device for carrying out the above process.

Abstract: An arrangement for reducing noise radiated externally from motor
vehicles comprises two acoustic screen parts (40, 42) made of
material having a high acoustic impedance which are mounted
together in generally co-planar fashion, and with edges
overlapping, between the engine compartment of the vehicle and
a front wheel thereof. The overlapping edges define slots
(44, 46, 48, 50) which form apertures when the screens (40, 42)
are mounted in overlapping relationship, the apertures allowing
passage of members extending between the engine compartment and
the wheel. Such members may include longitudinally movable
members such as a steering link or rotatable members such as the
drive shaft. The slots (44, 46, 48, 50) carry respective half-bellows
(52, 54, 56, 58) which, in the assembled arrangement,
come together to define bellows embracing the movable members and
are clipped together. These bellows thus restrict the radiation
of noise outwards from the engine compartment but also allow the
necessary movement of the movable members to take place. The
screens and the bellows may be made of rubber or thermoplastics
material and may be moulded together.

Abstract: The method involves controlling an output of acknowledgement message data (IR) by a communication system, to terminals which are connected to the communication system. The communication system receives event information (IA) from the terminals as part of a connection signalling. The output of the acknowledgement message data is performed based on the load of the communication system which is indicated by the event information that is supplied by the terminals. The communication system preferably outputs the acknowledgement message data periodically to the terminals. The output period is dependent on the load of the communication system, and is extended with a rise in the system load.

Abstract: An optical fiber (10) is provided with a plurality of reflecting events (RE i )
spatially allocated along the optical fiber for localizing possible faults in the
optical fiber. Possible faults are localized by emitting a signal into the optical
fiber, measuring the reflected signals, and comparing the measured reflected
signals with expected signals representing the optical fiber without faults. In
case that there are one or more faults in the optical fiber, the measured
reflected signals in a distance behind each one of the one or more faults will
show at least a different amplitude, or even disappear, with respect to the
expected signals. The expected signals can be received or determined, e.g.,
from a previous measurement, such as an acceptance measurement, or can
be calculated or otherwise received from theoretical analysis (e.g. simulation
or modeling) and/or from information about the fiber (such as physical
properties).

component offerings. Core commands presented in a core command section of the
menu are preferably context-determined so that commands appropriate to the current
operating mode of the graphical application tool are presented. Circuit component
offerings presented in the device offering section of the menu are preferably technology-determined
