Patent CA-2496916-C (CA)
Inventor: TARP-JOHANSEN MADS JEPPE

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé destiné à pister et à mesurer, simultanément, le volume, la forme et les surfaces d'objets, tels que des troncs. Dans une série d'opérations de charge et de décharge le long d'une ligne d'approvisionnement, une série d'images sont capturées par exemple, par des appareils stéréoscopiques CCD à capacités de résolution spatiale suffisante. Simultanément, l'emplacement des objets (troncs) est enregistré par un système GPS favorisant ainsi le pistage des objets. Les opérations de charge et de décharge sont généralement effectuées par des machines telles que des abatteuses-tronçonneuses ou des tracteurs, tous équipés d'une grue. Sur ces machines, des appareils numériques sont montés sur des bras de potence et un système informatique y est relié. Un système GPS est également monté sur ces machines et le système informatique est relié audit système. Ainsi le traitement en temps réel des images stéréo peut être réalisé et le volume, la forme et la surface des objets tridimensionnels sont calculés simultanément avec leur emplacement dans l'espace. Les données qui en résultent sont envoyées à une base de données centrale qui garde une trace des objets et de leur emplacement. Ces données sont ensuite à nouveau disponibles pour l'étape suivante dans la ligne d'approvisionnement en tant qu'informations </= à PRIORI >/= facilitant le calcul de la dimension, de la forme, de la surface et de l'emplacement des troncs (objets) lors de l'opération de charge/décharge courante. Une chaîne d'informations produite par cette invention permet d'augmenter sensiblement l'efficacité de toutes les chaînes de production soumises au présent procédé.

Title: Image pickup device
Inventor: KANEKO KATSUMI
IPC: H04N5/232
Filed: 2004-07-16
Granted: 2012-12-04
Abstract: An image signal generation portion 10 generates an image signal DVb of a variable frame-rate picked-up image whose frame rate can be varied. A frame rate conversion portion 30 converts a frame rate of an image signal DVu supplied to it into a frame rate of the image signal DVb and synchronizes them to provide an image signal DVw. A monitor image signal generation portion 40 uses the image signals DVb and DVw to generate an image signal DVmix of an image in which an image based on the image signal DVb and an image based on the image signal DVw are mixed and output it as a monitor image signal DMTout or SMTout. Alternatively, it generates an image signal DVwp of an image in which a part of an image based on the image signal DVb is replaced by an image based on the image signal DVw and outputs it as the monitor image signal DMTout or SMTout. It is possible to simultaneously display a variable frame-rate picked-up image and an image having a different frame rate.

Title: Oilfield pipe-handling apparatus
Inventor: WELLS KERRY
IPC: E21B19/15
Filed: 2005-06-17
Granted: 2011-05-17
Abstract: A trailer-mounted pipe-handling apparatus has an elongate cradle swivelable about a longitudinal swivel axis for loading or offloading pipe at a well site. With the cradle horizontal, and swiveled into a loading position, loading arms receive a pipe from a loading rack, whereupon kicker members move the pipe from the loading arms into the cradle. With the cradle swiveled into a neutral position supporting the pipe, a swing arm raises one end of the cradle while simultaneously drawing its other end horizontally along a base track, thus placing the cradle in a tilted configuration. The raised end of the pipe can thus be positioned above the floor of a drilling rig or service rig for connection to the rig hoist, which can then lift the pipe out of the cradle. Pipe may be removed from the well using a similar, reverse procedure. The rig hoist positions a removed pipe in the tiltingly elevated cradle, which is then lowered to the horizontal position. The cradle is then swiveled to an offloading position, allowing the pipe to roll out of the cradle onto an offload rack.

Granted: 2014-03-25
Abstract: An arc fault circuit interrupter includes line and load terminals, separable contacts, a current sensor sensing current flowing between the terminals and associated with one type of load, and a first arc fault detection circuit generating a first trip signal responsive to the sensed current. A second arc fault detection circuit collects a plurality of sensed current samples for a current line cycle and also for a previous line cycle, determines a total current value from a peak current of the current line cycle samples, employs the total current value and some of the samples to determine the type of load, and generates a second trip signal responsive to the sensed current and the determined type of load. A trip circuit generates a third trip signal responsive to the first and second trip signals. An operating mechanism opens the contacts responsive to the third signal.

Abstract: A multipole ion guide which begins in one pumping stage and extends continuously into one or more subsequent pumping stages has been incorporated into an atmospheric pressure ion source mass spectrometer system. Ions delivered into vacuum from an electrospray, atmospheric pressure chemical ionization or inductively coupled plasma ion source are guided and focused into a mass analyzer with high efficiency using the multipole ion guide. The background pressure over a portion of the multipole ion guide length is high enough to cause kinetic energy cooling of ions traversing the ion guide length due to ion collisions with neutral background gas molecules. This ion kinetic energy cooling lowers energy spread of ions traversing the multipole ion guide length. The multipole ion guide DC offset potential can be used to adjust the mean ion energy and the ion guide a and q values can be set to reduce or expand the range of ion mass to charge which will be transmitted through the ion guide. These features of multipole ion guides and multiple pumping stage multipole ion guides are used to improve performance and lower the cost of atmospheric pressure ion source mass spectrometer instruments.
