Abstract: A neural network has an external sensor (2) to receive a parameter representation from the environment. The parameter representation is weighted and fed to the input of a master node (1), whose output transfers the parameter representation in an additionally weighted form to the input of an external effector (5). The output from the external effector is fed back to the input of the external sensor after influence on the environment. Furthermore, the parameter representation is fed back directly from the sensor of the master node, and then the sum of the parameter representations fed back is formed. This results in quick and very complex learning of the neural network which, after learning, can perform tasks without using feedback signals which are influenced by the environment. Thus, the invention provides a neural network where analogies may be drawn to the human consciousness.

Abstract: For making of breaking a coupling between a pipe section (1) and a pipe string (2) projecting from a rotary drilling rig into a bore in the lithosphere, the pipe section (1) is rotated relative to the pipe string (2) by applying a torque up to a make-up or breaking torque. Exertion of said torque generates a reactive torque in an opposite sense of rotation. Rotation induced by a motor (17; 50) is transferred to the pipe string (2) so that said pipe string (2) is rotated as well. The reactive torque is transferred to the pipe string (2) along a path bypassing the motor (17; 50). Thus, the make-up or breaking torque can be exerted without requiring a substantial change of the torque exerted to rotate the pipe string (2) at a constant rotational velocity in order to avoid changes of the rotational velocity of the pipe string (2). A pipe coupling device and a pipe handler for carrying out this method are described as well.

Abstract: The disclosed invention relates to a polymerization process comprising contacting ethylene, and optionally, one or more olefinically unsaturated comonomers, with an active supported Group 3, 4, 5, or 6 metallocene catalyst system having an unsubstituted or substituted fused-ring cyclopentadienyl ligand, preferably indenyl or fluorenyl, and a substituted or unsubstituted cyclopentadienyl ligand under gas-phase or slurry polymerization conditions. The process is suitable for the production of high-density polyethylene homopolymers and copolymers. The benefits to industrial practice are both the ease of preparation and low-cost of the precursor metallocene compound and the commercially feasible polymerization activity levels in stable, low fouling level reactor conditions surprisingly associated with it. Additionally, the polymers made under the invention process conditions have narrow molecular weight distributions, low MI, and low values for MIR.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé d'époxydation d'oléfine, utilisant plusieurs cuves de réacteurs, contenant chacune un lit fixe d'un catalyseur hétérogène comme de l'anhydride titanique sur du silice. Les cuves de réacteurs sont reliées en série, et un circuit d'amenée constitué d'oxygène actif et d'oléfine passe dans ces séries de cuves de réacteur, en contact avec le catalyseur hétérogène pour assurer la conversion de l'oléfine en époxyde correspondant. Etant donné que l'activité du catalyseur dans une cuve de réacteur individuel chute à un niveau faible indésirable, ladite cuve est mise hors service et une cuve de remplacement contenant un catalyseur neuf et régénéré est mise en place. Cette cuve de réacteur de remplacement peut, dans d'autres modes de réalisation de ce procédé, être la première ou la dernière cuve de réacteur dans ladite série. Par exemple, le circuit d'amenée peut d'abord entrer en contact avec la charge la plus active ou la moins active de catalyseur dans la série des cuves de réacteur. Etant donné que ce dernier mode de réalisation assure une durée de vie plus longue du catalyseur, le précédent mode de réalisation nécessite des échangeurs de chaleur de plus faible capacité. Le procédé selon l'invention réduit considérablement l'utilisation des catalyseurs par rapport à un procédé d'époxydation à lit fixe traditionnel, où la totalité du catalyseur est remplacé ou généré en même temps.
