Abstract: Oil or similar fluid lift piping heating equipment comprising a longitudinal electric heater that may be operationally linked with the tubing. The heater features a flexible body that, fitted with a predominantly polymeric cover of insulating, thermoconducting, anticorrosive and mechanically-resistant properties, is housed inside a thermoconducting metallic duct. Additionally, the electric heater is connected to an electric power supply line through a passage in the tubing drive head. By means of the panel of the remote switchboard, electric power is applied to the main line conductors. These conductors carry electric power onto the heating means of the electric heater. The latter transmits heat to the tubing through its various layers and through the metallic duct. The heat applied prevents obstruction formed by some substances such as paraffins, high viscosity heavy crudes or hydrates. Two well-defined embodiments are provided, one external to the tubing and another internal thereto.

Abstract: The available modulation schemes of a network are analyzed to determine which ones contain excessive phase noise or narrowband interference. A network element is selected and assigned to a test channel at a first modulation scheme at a predetermined power level to achieve a predetermined PER. The network element transmits a test signal and the network controller measures the signal to noise ratio (SNR) in the received test signal. If the SNR is not within a predetermined tolerance range of an estimated SNR for the modulation scheme at the predetermined PER, the modulation scheme is determined to have excessive phase noise or narrowband interference. Each available modulation scheme is tested by instructing the network element to transmit the test signal using each modulation scheme and assigning the power level of each modulation scheme. The suitable modulation schemes may be determined.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a finishing train for hot-rolling starting material. Starting material is finished in several successive roll stands (110 n) in the finishing train, the material cooling off because of heat loss. The material has to be reheated in order for the temperature of the material not to drop below the predefined lower threshold temperature value at low speeds within and at the discharge end of the finishing train. In order to use as little energy as possible for said reheating process, the reheating process within the finishing train is carried out for the first time only when the temperature of the material risks falling below the lower threshold temperature value for the first time relative to the direction of flow of the material because of heat loss. Furthermore, the temperature of the material during the reheating process is increased only to the point where the temperature of the material will not drop below the lower threshold temperature value (TU) while the material is conveyed on to a next heating device that is mounted downstream in the direction of flow of the material and until the material is discharged from the mill train.

Abstract: The present invention describes the configuration of a porous sheet for improving the efficiency for generating an aerosol from a liquid formulation. This aerosolized liquid formulation can be used for intrapulmonary delivery of pharmaceutically active drugs and diagnostic agents when said invention is used in conjunction with the appropriate device. The individual pores in each array (defined as the rows and columns of pores for example in a rectangular array) are generated such that there is a discrete or continuous variation in the pore size within the plurality of pores on the sheet. The drug is subsequently aerosolized by forcing the liquid formulation through the pores on the sheet. The resulting aerosol will contain a controlled range of particle sizes defined by the properties of the porous sheet and the liquid formulation.
