IPC: G06F12/14
Filed: 2000-09-28
Granted: 2010-06-22
Abstract: A sensor has codes useful for a monitor which can be authenticated as accurate. The sensor produces a signal corresponding to a measured physiological characteristic and provides codes which can be assured of being accurate and authentic when used by a monitor. A memory associated with the sensor stores both data relating to the sensor and a digital signature. The digital signature authenticates the quality of the code by ensuring it was generated by an entity having predetermined quality controls, and ensures the code is accurate.

Abstract: The present invention provides an artificial lift apparatus that monitors the conditions in and around a well and makes automated adjustments based upon those conditions. In one aspect, the invention includes a progressive cavity pump (PCP) (60) for disposal at a lower end of a tubing string in a cased wellbore. A pressure sensor (50a) in the wellbore adjacent the pump measures fluid pressure of fluid collecting in the wellbore. Another pressure sensor (37) disposed in the upper end of the wellbore measures pressure created by compressed gas above the fluid column and a controller (25) receives the information and calculates the true height of fluid in the wellbore. Another sensor (50b) disposed in the lower end the tubing string measures fluid pressure in the tubing string and transmits that information to the controller. The controller compares the signals for the three sensors and makes adjustments based upon a relationship between the measurements and preprogrammed information about the wellbore and the formation pressure therearound.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for providing measured values for end users. The measured value of a process variable is detected by means of a sensor and is transmitted to a process management system. The number of transmission operations is counted and the costs incurred to the end user are calculated according to the number of transmission operations. The main advantage of the invention lies in the fact that the end user no longer pays for the sensor, only being charged for that which he/she really requires, i.e. the measured value.

Title: Procede de fabrication de la farine de masa precuite et ecossee
Inventor: SOSA FRANCISCO
IPC: A23L7/10
Filed: 2002-01-22
Granted: 2008-10-14
Abstract: Selon la présente invention, la farine de masa précuite et partiellement écossée utilisée pour produire des tortillas et des produits analogues est obtenue par une pré-cuisson sous pression dans un processus continu faisant appel à de la vapeur saturée. La pré-cuisson induit l'hydrolyse de la cosse du maïs et la cuisson partielle au moyen d'une solution de chaux, un lavage des grains réduits et une perte en solides réduits en eaux résiduaires. La teneur en humidité est ensuite stabilisée, et le maïs est moulu et séché dans un courant d'air surchauffé permettant d'obtenir une cuisson partielle, puis les particules moulues et séchées sont refroidies puis séchées à nouveau. La séparation et l'extraction permettent de produire de la mouture fine ou de la farine de masa à partir de la mouture grossière qui est ségréguée afin d'isoler une partie de cosses constituant des déchet de cosses de maïs. La mouture grossière, qui a été moulue à nouveau, est tamisée pour obtenir une plus grande quantité de farine de masa instantanée. La farine est bien adaptée à la fabrication de tortillas et autres aliments pour encas à base de maïs.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de propulsion/direction interposant des modules d'entraînement (20, 22) de pignons orbitaux respectifs gauche et droit dans la transmission d'un véhicule entre le moteur/la boîte de vitesses (10, 12) et les essieux de propulsion respectifs reliés à chaque côté dudit véhicule. Des unités d'entraînement orbital comprennent uniquement un pignon d'entrée (54) et un pignon de sortie (58) interconnectés à l'aide d'au moins un train d'engrenages (60, 61) en orbite maintenus dans un carter rotatif qui n'engrène que sur lesdits pignons d'entrée et de sortie. Lesdites unités orbitales sont conçues de telle sorte que a) lorsque la rotation du carter (64) est freinée, un couple d'entraînement est transféré à des rapports de vitesse sélectionnés de façon à être aussi proches que possible de 1/1, et b) lorsqu'un couple de direction entraîne la rotation du carter, ledit couple de direction s'ajoute simultanément dans le même sens et dans des sens opposés aux unités orbitales, ce qui entraîne le ralentissement du module d'entraînement sur un côté du véhicule, à la même allure. Ce module de propulsion/direction convient parfaitement pour les transmissions de véhicules tractés, de bateaux et d'aéronefs.

Abstract: An envelope-filling station for mall-processing systems. The station includes an enclosure feeder for transporting enclosures to an inserting arrangement pushing enclosures into envelopes in the same direction as the enclosure feeder. An envelope supply is positioned parallel to the enclosure feeding device. Envelopes are diagonally transported from the envelope supply to the inserting arrangement by an intermediate transport. A movable stop, in an active state, holds an envelope received in position for insertion of enclosures. When the movable stop is changed to an inactive state the filled envelope can be conveyed away from the envelope-filing station. The movable stop has a further intermediate stop position in which the stop is moved back, by a comparatively small distance in relation to the push-in movement, such that, under the driving frictional action of the intermediate envelope-conveying device, the filled envelope comes free of the push-in arrangement in the push-in direction.
