Abstract: Cette invention porte sur un procédé permettant d'accroître le rendement d'agents chimiques de production en réduisant le nombre d'opérations de compression et de phases d'attente nécessaires pour augmenter le taux de production d'un puits de pétrole. Le procédé consiste à injecter dans une matrice de formation rocheuse pétrolifère une formulation comprenant: a) un agent tensioactif miscible à l'eau, un éther alkyltriglycol et b) au moins un agent chimique de production de champ pétrolifère ou gazéifère miscible à l'eau, ces substances (a) et (b) étant introduites, soit sous la forme d'une composition préformée, unique et homogène, soit simultanément, en parallèle ou l'une à la suite de l'autre et ce, dans n'importe quel ordre. Le procédé a ceci de particulier qu'après l'introduction des substances (a) et (b) dans la formation rocheuse pétrolifère, on met le puits en phase d'attente et l'on injecte dans la matrice de formation rocheuse pétrolifère un fluide sans sable, de l'huile en l'occurrence.

Abstract: This invention concerns a communications system consisting of at least two private branch exchanges connected to a superior communication network and which are connected to each other via a hotline. In one of the two private branch exchanges a team function control is provided in order to render possible a team function relative to team terminals directly connected to this private branch exchange and relative to team terminals integrated into the team function via the hotline link in the form of remote subscribers, which are directly connected to the second private branch exchange. In-coming calls for the team can reach the team control via the network connection of the first telephone exchange and via the network connection of the second telephone exchange and a call forwarding line to the first telephone exchange. When the hotline connection is defective, a team function subcontrol in the second private branch exchange suppresses the call forwarding and carries out the control process of the team function for the team terminals connected to the second private branch exchange.

Abstract: A process for analysing properties of a biological system in which the properties of the complex biological system can be expressed by its inherent values, e.g. system parameters and values, with the stages: interference with the biological system by altering presumed or known system parameters; consistent observation of the response of the biological system to the changes by measuring at least two system values as long as said values vary and/or until there is no further change in them owing to the interference; checking the reproducibility of the changes in one or more system value(s) induced by the alteration of the system parameter(s); and repeating the process steps several times if necessary, with the proviso that system parameters are changed which have not yet been examined.

Abstract: A multi-disc brake (30,60) includes a piston housing (32,62) and attached torque tube (34,64) located about an axle (67,97). Axially adjacent the piston housing (32,62) is a brake actuator (40,70). In one embodiment, the piston housing (32) is located axially between an actuator member (59A) of the brake actuator (40) and a thrust sleeve (20) located about the axle sleeve (19) and abutting a wheel sleeve (16) engaging a wheel bearing assembly (12). In another embodiment, the actuator member (89A) can extend to engage a stationary portion (91) of the axle (97). Hydraulic actuation of the brake actuator (40,70) displaces axially the actuator member (59A,89A) against either a bushing (35) of the piston housing (32) or the stationary portion (91) of the axle (97) such that at least one of the piston housing (32,62) and torque tube (34,64) are compressed operatively in the axial direction by the brake actuator, thereby reducing torsional vibrational movement of the piston housing (32,62) and torque tube (34,64) about the axle (67,97).

Abstract: An overcurrent circuit breaker arranged inside an approximately cube-shaped, two-part insulating housing, having a chassis section and a locking section. Located between the parallel side walls of the housing sections is a switchgear with a contact bridge, the movement of which is guided parallel to the side walls and which extends in essentially longitudinal direction at a right angle to the side walls and while in the on position between two fixed contacts that are fastened inside the housing and are positioned on both sides of the movement plane for the switchgear. The fixed contacts are flat pieces akin to a knife blade and fit against the side walls and, respectively, form a contact point with their narrow, knifeblade type edges facing the contact bridge. With their rear sides opposite the contact points, the fixed contacts fit against a flank wall of housing. As a result of this, the fixed contacts are positioned in an especially space-saving manner in the corners of housing.

Abstract: A cable (5) is inserted, by way of a free end (2.1), into a tube (2) wound around a tube reel (1) which is fixed, with its winding axis (y) vertical, onto a carrier (7). The carrier with the tube reel is subjected to a periodical movement having a vertical component and a longitudinal component. The vertical component is a vertical oscillation having a period (P) and an amplitude (Av=gP2/32) for an, at any rate approximately, "free-fall" movement during part of each period, preferably during half a period. The longitudinal component is an oscillating rotation around the vertical winding axis of the tube reel having the same period (P) and an amplitude (AL). The "free-fall" movement is preferably commenced when the rotational direction of the oscillating rotation is reversed and becomes backward, as opposed to the insertion direction of the cable.

Abstract: The invention intends to provide an organism tissue treatment apparatus using a radio frequency, in which the counter electrode plate is needless, and a treatment can be applied to an organism tissue by a discharge between the discharge electrode and the organism tissue and a Joule heat by a current flowing locally through the organism tissue. The organism tissue treatment apparatus using a radio frequency of the invention has an electromagnetic wave radiant electrode 5 which is supplied with a radio frequency current having at least a high band radio frequency to thereby radiate a strong electromagnetic wave from a tip thereof. When the tip of the electromagnetic wave radiant electrode 5 is approached to a local region 9 of an organism tissue 8 until the organism tissue 8 is exposed in the electromagnetic field near the tip of the electromagnetic wave radiant electrode 5, an arc discharge 10 is generated between the tip of the electromagnetic wave radiant electrode 5 and the local region 9 of the organism tissue 8. And at the same time, an arc current flows into the local region 9 of the organism tissue 8, serving the organism tissue 8 as the earth, to locally generate a Joule heat. By utilizing the arc discharge 10 and the Joule heat locally generated by the arc current, a treatment including an evaporation, dissection, and a coagulation and hemostasis by the thermal denaturation can be applied to the organism tissue 8. <IMAGE>
