Abstract: L'invention vise à assurer la possibilité de déchargement au large, en hiver et dans les glaces, de milieux liquides, de préférence du pétrole, depuis un terminal de réservoirs côtiers vers des pétroliers marins. Pour obtenir ce résultat, on assure la possibilité d'amarrage en tout temps des pétroliers à l'appontement flottant ou à un support unique, indépendamment du vent dominant ou de l'état de la mer, dans la direction qui convient le mieux au pétrolier, avec une possibilité de rotation à 360·, l'amarrage étant suivi de l'entretien des pétroliers qui consiste à acheminer des milieux liquides vers lesdits pétroliers. En outre, les modifications suivantes sont apportées: - un brise-glace existant (1) est muni d'un poste de scaphandrier (5) installé sur le pont (3) et comportant un puits de scaphandrier (6) fait dans la coque (2) du brise-glace (1), ainsi que d'un dispositif de protection du tuyau souple (8) du pipeline marin contre l'action adverse des glaces, qui se présente dans un premier mode de réalisation comme un cylindre (7) muni de guides (13) destinés au déplacement à l'intérieur d'un puits de guidage (10) fait dans une partie poupe (2) de la coque.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus to encode a series of quantized coefficients of a transform of a block of image data. The transform is such that 0 is the most likely coefficient amplitude and 1 is the next most likely coefficient amplitude. The method includes forming modes for each encountered non-zero amplitude and forming events for the modes in the mode-~modified series formed by setting to zero all non-zero amplitudes other than the amplitude defining the mode. An event for modes for amplitudes greater than 1 is a run of none or more zero-valued coefficients followed a non-zero amplitude in the mode-modified series. In one embodiment, a first mode is defined for amplitude 1 wherein an event is a run of none or more zero-valued coefficients followed the amplitude 1 coefficient in the mode-modified series. In another embodiment, a first mode is defined for amplitude 1 wherein an event is a run in the mode-modified series of none or more zero-valued coefficients followed by a run of one of a predefined set of sequences, each sequence in the set being a sequence of l's and 0's starting with a coefficient of amplitude 1. In another embodiment, a first mode is defined for amplitude 1 wherein an event is a sequence of 0's and 1's of the length of the series of quantized coefficients. The method includes forming a codeword for each encountered mode and forming codewords for the formed events in the mode. Relatively short codewords are formed to represent events that are relatively more likely to occur.

Abstract: A feedwater heater (14) for an HRSG (A) is provided with a monitoring unit (B) for detecting the presence of condensation in the feedwater heater. The monitoring unit includes a dielectric band (50) around one of the tubes (26) of the feedwater heater near the location where the feedwater is directed into the heater and a conductive band (52) located around the dielectric band. The unit also includes a conductivity sensor (44) installed between a ground (40) on the feedwater heater and the conductive element. Hot gas containing moisture passes through the feedwater heater, and if the temperature of surfaces in the region of the tube around which the dielectric and conductive bands extend drops below the dew point of the gas, an electrically conductive condensate will appear those surfaces and on the tube and will flow over the dielectric band, completing an electric circuit between the tube and the conductive band. The conductivity sensor detects this and hence detects the presence of the condensation.
