Patent EP-0835983-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BROWN ERNEST J
IPC: C09K8/62
Filed: 1997-09-29
Abstract: The improved recovery of hydrocarbons from subterranean formations by hydraulically fracturing a subterranean
formation is accomplished. Fracturing fluids using a viscoelastic surfactant fluid containing wormlike micelles are
useful to improve recovery of hydrocarbons and limit the loss of fracturing fluid into the formation fracture face. The
invention further relates to novel fracturing methods useful for increasing hydrocarbon production, limiting connate
water production, resisting fracturing fluid loss into the subterranean formation, and reducing the equipment
requirements in mixing and pumping fracturing fluid. The action of micelles of surfactant in aqueous zones of the
subterranean formation facilitates the flowback of increased amounts of hydrocarbons once a fractured well is placed
back on production.

Abstract: Receiver device in which the receiving channel can
be changed over to another, comprises an RF unit (2)
which receives a plurality of channel frequency signals,
a frequency conversion unit (3), an intermediate
frequency amplifier (4) and an FM detection unit (5), a
signal intensity detection unit (7) which, when the
mode for setting the receiving channel is set, scans
the channel frequencies to detect the signal
intensities of the received signals in the respective
channels and an A/D converter (8), a RAM (62) which
successively stores therein the signal intensities in
the respective channels, and a CPU (63) which sets the
receiving channels on the basis of the signal
intensities stored, detects the channel information
contained in the received signals, and sets, when the
detected channel information is the channel information
of the desired channel, the channel of the channel
information as the receiving channel for ordinary
communications. Thus, the speed at which the change of
the receiving channel and the registration process are
established when the user is moving across service
areas is enhanced to eliminate the feeling of
uneasiness of the user and to shorten the length of
time during which the user can receive no paging
service.

Abstract: A data storage section (27) stores a plurality of
characteristic data obtained by measuring one optical
fiber a plurality of number of times at time intervals
or a plurality of characteristic data obtained by
measuring a plurality of optical fibers. The output
unit (32) displays the waveforms of the plurality of
characteristic data. A waveform display control
section (37) causes the output unit to display the
waveforms of the plurality of characteristic data on
the orthogonal coordinate plane defined by a distance
axis and a characteristic value axis. A reference
point designating section (40) designates an arbitrary
reference point within the orthogonal coordinate plane.
A calculating section (42) calculates the difference
between the characteristic value axis coordinate value
of the reference point designated by the reference
point designating section and the characteristic value
axis coordinate value of each of the characteristic
data at a distance axis coordinate value nearly equal
to the distance axis coordinate value of the reference
point. An offset section (35) offsets the characteristic
data in the characteristic value axis direction
by the amounts corresponding to the differences
calculated by the calculating section such that
the waveforms of the characteristic data displayed
by the waveform display control section pass through
the reference point.

the cooling air first exchanges heat with either one of
the rear plate or the face plate and then, after turning
around, with the other plate. The air blowing means may
be arranged at the centre of the housing, facing the rear
plate. Alternatively, it may be arranged at a lateral

Abstract: An apparatus (1) is provided for storing a multi-component cryogenic mixture as a
liquid (10), in which the mixture contains at least first and second components, the
first component being more volatile than the second component. The second
component has a bubble point temperature, at atmospheric pressure, lower than
that of the first component at a pressure above atmospheric. The inevitable heat
leakage into the container (12) for storing the cryogenic mixture causes the
cryogenic mixture to vaporise, so that the vapour phase of the mixture is enriched in
the first component and the liquid phase in the mixture is enriched in the second
component. A conduit (18) communicates between locations of the container (12)
situated above and below the head space region (16) of the container (12) so that
vapour phase stream flows into the reservoir (20), opened to the atmosphere is
provided in communication with the container (12) such that a liquid phase stream,
made up of the liquid phase flows into the reservoir (20) and develops an ever
increasing second component concentration. As such, the liquid phase of the
mixture is able to condense the vapour phase of the mixture within the conduit (18).
The resulting liquid will fall back into the container (12) under influence of gravity to
stabilise the concentration of the first and second components within the
container (12).

pin extends through an insulation ring fitted in the conductor base so as
to be electrically insulated therefrom and form the signal path flowing a

first segment of a limited length along the terminal pin from a second
impedance inherent to a second segment immediately adjacent the first
segment so as to give a target over-all impedance, which is between the
first and second impedance, over the full length of the terminal pin.
