Patent CA-2729472-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ZIEGLER MARKUS
IPC: H05B41/282
Filed: 2009-06-22
Abstract: A ballast used with an input power source for energizing a lamp. The ballast includes a power stage, a controller, an internal power supply for the power stage and the controller, and an input switch. The power stage energizes the lamp with power supplied by the input power source. The internal power supply is connected to the power stage for receiving power from the power stage and is connected to the input power source via the input switch for receiving power from the input power supply when the input switch operates in a closed mode. When the input switch operates in an open mode it electrically disconnects the internal power supply from the input power source. The controller selectively operates the input switch in the open mode and the closed mode as a function of the voltage of the internal power supply while the lamp is energized.

Title: Seismic array towing system
Inventor: MARTIN DANIEL
IPC: G01V1/38
Filed: 2009-12-09
Abstract: A system for a more efficient towing of a marine seismic array comprising one or more diverters attached to each lead-in cable.

The diverters of the present invention are directly attached to the respective lead-in cables and are submerged, eliminating the need for taglines and additional flotation. The diverter of the present invention comprises of either a single spanwise hydro foil or two foil sections and is steerable.  Similarly, the diverters of the present invention can be installed on the umbilical cables of seismic source subarrays to obtain the same benefits. As such, at least one diverter of the present invention can be attached directly to at least one umbilical cable of the seismic source subarray.

Abstract: A percussive assisted rotary drill includes a top sub for connection with a drill pipe. The drill pipe imparts torque to the drill and also supplies motive fluid to the drill. The drill includes a shank adapter to facilitate affixing a rotary drill bit to the drill.  The motive fluid is divided between a bit flow which flows through the bit to clear debris at the bottom of the drill, and an actuator flow, An actuator, which may be in the form of a reciprocating piston, moves within the drill under the influence of the actuator flow to impart cyclical blows to the shank adapter, The blows are transferred to the drill bit through the shank adapter to provide a relatively high frequency low amplitude percussive force on the rotating drill bit to assist in the drilling operation, At least a portion of the actuator flow portion of the motive fluid is exhausted through the top end of the drill. The relative flow rates and volumes of the bit and actuator flows can be adjusted with a check valve in the actuator flow exhaust path.

Abstract: The invention relates to a test me-thod for bogies (12) and a test stand suitable for carrying out the method, said test stand being additionally suitable for disassembling and assembling components of corresponding bogies (12). Accor-ding to the proposed solution, the loads incurred by a bogie during its intended use are simulated in a known manner on a test stand designed for this purpose on the still unfinished bogie (12). To this end, forces are directed into the bogie (12) such as those caused by the weight of a car body and by other operation-related load conditions. The effect of these load conditions on the bogie (12) and/or of a track on which the bogie (12) runs is described by measured values, which are obtained by means of measuring sensors and are computer-processed. Ac-cording to the invention, a respective force, used for the simulation of load conditions, is applied not as a pressure force, but rather as a tensile force acting directly on the bogie (12) or on a test stand element mounted directly on said bogie.
