Title: Compositions and methods for treating lost circulation
Inventor: NILSSON FREDERIK
IPC: C04B28/00
Filed: 2004-05-12
Abstract: A cement system for use in treating lost circulation includes a slurry of cement, water and a super-absorbent polymer which absorbs free water in the slurry to form a gel - ore preferably a solid-like structure - when placed in the well, and which releases the absorbed water to the cement hydration reaction as the cement sets. The absorption of water causes the slurry to develop a solid-like structure. In one embodiment, the superabsorbent is polyacrylamide or modified crosslinked poly(meth)acrylate. Also presented is a method of treating lost circulation by pumping the above-mentioned cement system.

Title: Method and device for the automated identification of semifinished products
Inventor: MUELLER PAUL
IPC: B21C51/00
Filed: 2004-10-05
Abstract: Semifinished products, especially strand sections that are cut off from continuous cast strands, are marked in steel mills and rolling mills so that individual pieces can be tracked. The marks (25) applied or attached to the pieces have to be machine-readable in a sorting station (36). Marking and reading devices are expensive and produce undesired reading errors. The aim of the invention is therefore to create a method and a device that avoid the aforementioned disadvantages and that allow for a reliable and cost-efficient identification of semifinished products. For this purpose, a first camera (30) is used in an identification station (28) to obtain digitized images of optically visible separating section-specific and strand section-specific surface features on an identification surface (23) and the images are stored in a database (31). A second camera (38) is used in a sorting station (36) to obtain digitized images of the same identification surface (23) and these images are used in the database (31) for an identification by comparing them with the stored images of the first camera (30).
