Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un enregistreur vidéo numérique (DVR) (20) permettant d'enregistrer des signaux vidéo en temps réel sur un disque (1) DVR. Le disque peut présenter des défauts (11, 12, 13) ponctuels bidimensionnels, mais le système de correction d'erreurs DVR, très puissant, permet de corriger des erreurs résultant de défauts ponctuels mineurs (11, 12). Afin d'examiner rapidement et efficacement si le disque recèle des défauts ponctuels importants (13), on évalue l'intégrité de pistes d'essai prédéterminées (2T) en fonction du signal de guidage. Si l'on découvre une piste d'essai défectueuse (2T2, 2T3), on poursuit l'examen des abords de ladite piste. Si le nombre de pistes touchées est faible, on peut enregistrer sur lesdites pistes. En revanche, si ce nombre est important, on inscrit lesdites pistes sur une liste de défectueux, laquelle est, de préférence, enregistrée sur le disque. Lors de l'enregistrement, les pistes figurant sur la liste de défectueux sont sautées.

Title: Apparatus for generating and conducting a fluid flow, and method of monitoring said apparatus
Inventor: BELLER JOHANN
IPC: F04B43/113
Filed: 2001-06-15
Granted: 2006-10-03
Abstract: The apparatus comprises a displacement pump with at least one flow vessel, with a pump drive, and with a support means for holding the flow vessel. Furthermore, the apparatus comprises a measuring arrangement responsive to the displacement motions performed by the flow vessel, wherein said displacement motions are picked up by a pressure sensor diposed at the flow vessel or by a strain sensor disposed at the support means. The measuring arrangement serves to sense an actual displacement motion of the flow vessel robustly and reliably, and to deliver a measurement signal representative of this motion. The signal is particularly suited for generating a flow rate estimate representative of the instantaneous volume flow rate and/or for generating a status signal signaling a current operational status. Further, a method is disclosed which supplies information.serving to monitor such an apparatus. The apparatus is suitable for using in a sampler.

Abstract: An underground drilling method and apparatus generates intense pressure pulses at a location at the surface. The pressure pulses propagate down through a drill string to a drill bit. The pulses may be generated by creating water hammer in flowing drilling mud. Intensity of the acoustic pulses is increased in the bit nozzles. Vigorous pulsing of the fluid exiting the bit nozzles results in better cleaning of the hole bottom and faster drilling. The pulses may be used to drive the operation of various down hole tools . One type of tool has multiple pistons arranged in series.      High pressure pulses move the pistons to generate strong mechanical vibration in the drill string.      Vibration of the drill string may also reduce the friction between the drill string and the hole, resulting in lower torque requirements.

Granted: 2011-02-15
Abstract: NMR data are acquired using a phase-alternation of the tipping pulse. Differences between consecutive samples (207) acquired with same or different frequencies are determined and an average value of the differences is determined over a sample window (201) and over a range of windows (203,205). This average value, determined separately for the in-phase and quadrature component data is a measure of the systematic noise and may be applied to the in-phase and quadrature component data to give corrected data with a higher resolution than prior art methods of processing phase altered pulse sequence data (figures 4). The method may also be used to improve the resolution of multifrequency NMR data acquired with a gradient logging tool.
