Title: Verfahren zur Störunterdrückung bei Ultraschall-Abstandsmessungen
Inventor: FORSTER ALFRED DIPL-ING FH
IPC: G01S7/52
Filed: 1989-05-31
Abstract: Bei der Abstandsmessung mittels Ultraschall-Näherungsinitiatoren können stochastische Störsignale Fehlimpulse hervorrufen, die bisher durch Pulsbreitenauswertung weitgehend unterdrückt wurden. Auf Fehlimpulsen beruhende Fehlauslösungen können hierdurch zwar eingeschränkt werden, doch ist die Auswertung des Echosignals nur sehr grob, da die Amplitude unberücksichtigt bleibt. Dieser Mangel soll in einem verbesserten Verfahren zur Unterdrückung der stochastischen Störsignale beseitigt werden. Dies wird dadurch erreicht, daß das analoge Echosignal am Ultraschall-Näherungsinitiator jeweils zu bestimmten Zeitpunkten abgetastet wird und anschließend die Abtastwerte in Digitalwerte umgewandelt werden. Darauf erfolgt eine progammgesteuerte mathematisch-logische Verknüpfung der Digitalwerte mit in einem Datenspeicher abgelegten Digitalwerten, die aus entsprechenden Abtastwerten der vorherigen Echosignale abgeleitet wurden. Die aus der mathematisch-logischen Verknüpfung folgenden neuen Digitalwerte werden in dem Datenspeicher abgespeichert und hinsichtlich Amplitude und/oder Pulsbreite zur Abstandswertermittlung ausgewertet. Auf diese Weise ergibt sich zu jedem Impulszyklus ein Abstandswert, der angezeigt wird. Das Verfahren wird bei Ultraschall-Näherungsinitiatoren zur Abstandsmessung angewandt.

Abstract: In immunoassays, total measurement time can be greatly reduced without reducing their sensitivities, by replacing a conventional step comprising reacting a substance to be tested with an antibody specific to the substance which antibody is immobilized on a solid phase and detecting the complex consisting of the substance and the antibody formed on the solid phase by a marker. This invention features reacting the sub­stance to be tested with the antibody in a liquid phase, immobilizing the complex on a solid phase and detecting the complex bound to the solid phase by a marker. 
     The complex formed in the liquid phase can be efficiently immobilized on a solid phase by using a bio­tinized antibody and an avidin or streptoavidin-bound solid phase.

Abstract: A tool for setting or retrieving a packoff between the casing hanger and the wellhead utilizes differential area pistons. The tool has a mandrel (27) which connects to a string of drill pipe. The mandrel carries a body (55) and is axially movable relative to the body. A sleeve (75) is carried by the body for connection to the packoff (81). A sleeve piston (89) is carried by the body for relative movement relative to the body. A mandrel piston (97) is carried by the mandrel for movement with the mandrel. Passages (93) in the body communicate the mandrel piston (97) with the sleeve piston (89) and contain an incompressible fluid. Axial movement of the mandrel causes the pressure to increase to drive the sleeve piston downward to set the packoff, or in another embodiment, upward to retrieve the packoff.

Filed: 1989-06-24
Abstract: The invention concerns a process and an installation for manufacturing a metal strip with a fine-grained or uniform structure and having a thickness less than or equal to 10 mm. Immediately after casting, the strip undergoes a second treatment, namely adjustment of the treatment temperature and plastic deformation of the strip, virtually without any reduction in thickness, and possible subsequent annealing and cooling in function of the nature of the strip material. This continuous production of a metal strip which has the desired final dimensions and contains no structure undesirable for subsequent use is obtained by simple means and without expensive rolling.
