Title: Calculating directional drilling tool face offsets
Inventor: LARRONDE MICHAEL L
IPC: E21B7/06
Filed: 2002-10-10
Abstract: A drilling tool has a bent sub or a defined "High Side". An instrument housing which includes a magnetometer is secured to the directional drilling tool. The magnetometer measures the magnetic field vector in the plane perpendicular to the tool axis. Prior to running the directional drilling tool and the instrument housing into the well, a magnetic source is positioned next to the instrument housing at a position near the magnetometer. The magnetic source is made and positioned such that its magnetic field at the magnetometer points to the chalk line of the high side of a bent sub. The net magnetic field generated from the source is obtained by the difference in magnetic field measurements before and while the magnetic source is applied The azimuthal angle between the net magnetic field vector and the x-axis of the magnetometer or other direction sensor reference point used for tool face calculation is obtained by a computer. This angle is the angular difference or offset angle between the sensor tool face and the high side of the bent sub (as mimicked by the magnetic source). This offset angle is recorded as a signed (~) number and is added to the sensor tool face to produce the bent sub's high side tool face during the drilling operation. No manual measurement of the offset angle and input is required.

Filed: 2001-07-12
Abstract: L'invention concerne un système hydraulique destiné à un excavateur ou à d'autres engins, qui contient un dispositif de déviation pour l'alimentation de charges spéciales présentant un besoin de puissance particulièrement élevé. L'alimentation d'une telle charge spéciale se fait en priorité jusqu'à une alimentation maximale qui est plus faible que la puissance maximale pouvant être fournie par la source hydraulique. La différence restante est mise, de façon illimitée, à la disposition des autres charges du système hydraulique, cela sans altération de la répartition du courant hydraulique résiduel. La manoeuvrabilité de l'engin équipé du système hydraulique est donc ainsi complètement conservée de la façon habituelle. Un ralentissement éventuel du déplacement de réglage d'une charge se retrouve de façon proportionnelle dans les déplacements de réglage de toutes les autres charges, de telle sorte que les rapports des vitesses de travail ou de réaction des charges individuelles sont maintenus.

Title: Liberation par aspiration
Inventor: GRASSL HERBERT
IPC: A61M15/00
Filed: 2001-09-19
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un agencement associé à une opération d'inhalation, ouvrant et refermant une entrée d'air d'un dispositif inhalateur de poudre sèche (DIP) muni d'un organe de dosage (4). L'agencement requiert une pression différentielle minimale entre l'atmosphère ambiante et les voies aériennes de la personne qui inhale en vue d'ouvrir l'entrée permettant l'air extérieur de pénétrer dans le DIP. L'agencement de contrôle de l'entrée d'air présente un rabat précontraint relié à un mécanisme d'accrochage précontraint. Le rabat précontraint (16) referme l'entrée d'air (23) du DIP à l'atmosphère par la force exercée par un ressort compressible (13), qui agit sur le rabat à travers un mécanisme de leviers. Pour ouvrir le rabat on doit appliquer une force F¿P? supérieure à la force de fermeture F¿C? du ressort et du mécanisme. La force nécessaire résulte de la pression différentielle lors de l'aspiration de l'embout du DIP. Le crochet est libéré par le rabat (16) via le mécanisme de leviers lorsque le rabat s'ouvre, et déclenche une séquence d'événements qui constituent un processus irréversible pour l'administration de la dose à la personne qui inhale. Le mécanisme de leviers utilise des formes arrondies (14) dans lesquelles les pièces mobiles sont en contact les unes avec les autres afin de minimiser les zones de contact et les effets de friction permettant ainsi de réaliser des pertes quasiment nulles. Le rabat est en outre statiquement équilibré par un contrepoids (15), qui élimine pratiquement complètement le risque en provenance de forces extérieures, par exemple, la force de gravitation ou des chocs sur le DIP qui pourraient de manière involontaire déclencher le processus d'administration d'une dose.

Title: Method and apparatus for priority-based load balancing for use in an extended local area network
Inventor: LEE WHAY CHIOU
IPC: H04L12/46
Filed: 2003-01-15
Abstract: Bridges (10, 12, 14) are used to interconnect local area networks transparently. In the IEEE 802.1D standard for bridges, a spanning tree is built among the bridges for loop-free frame forwarding. A novel bridge protocol is employed that attempts to find and forward frames over alternate paths that are shorter than their corresponding tree paths on the standard spanning tree for default forwarding. The protocol, referred to as the Spanning Tree Alternate Routing (STAR) Bridge Protocol, is backward compatible with the IEEE 802.1D standard and has a complexity that is comparable to that of the standard and other existing protocols and further includes an ability to prioritize the forwarding of frames over at least two different paths responsive to a priority value carried by a frame to be forwarded.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une sonde captant la température, la vitesse et/ou la fraction volumétrique liquide de gaz chargé de gouttelettes de liquide, ainsi qu'un procédé d'utilisation correspondant. Selon une variante, la sonde comprend un seul élément chauffant (152) utilisé dans un flux bien caractérisé. La température de cet élément est maintenue au-dessus de la température de transition de Leidenfrost pour les gouttelettes, ce qui empêche les effets de refroidissement produits par les gouttelettes d'affecter la mesure de la température. Selon une autre variante, la sonde comprend deux ou plus de deux éléments chauffants (152h, 152c) disposés dans des environnements de flux similaires. La propriété convoitée est obtenue à travers les principes de thermodynamique et d'échange thermique, dont il est impossible de bénéficier avec des dispositifs classiques. Selon une variante, la température est déterminée à partir d'une fonction de relation propre aux caractéristiques des deux éléments chauffants, maintenus à deux températures différentes, avec la puissance nécessaire au maintien d'une température constante dans chaque élément, et en éliminant la relation de dépendance par rapport à d'autres variables, pour les besoins de la détermination (par exemple, vitesse du gaz).
