Title: Dispositivo para controlar a temperatura de um objeto
Inventor: CELEGIN MARIO
IPC: C09K5/06
Filed: 1999-12-17
Abstract: "DISPOSITIVO PARA CONTROLAR A TEMPERATURA DE UM OBJETO". A invenção ataca o problema de controlar a temperatura de um objeto gerador de calor 15 de modo que a temperatura do objeto 15 não exceda um valor máximo predeterminado, ou caia abaixo de um valor mínimo predeterminado quando a temperatura de uma região circundante 18 varia dentro de um intervalo. Um dispositivo 1 compreende um trocador de calaor 17 para emitir calor para a região circundante 18 e um recipiente 2 que contém um meio 11. O recipiente 2 é conectado termicamente ao objeto 15, bem como ao trocador de calor 17. Quando a temperatura da região circundante 18 excede um primeiro valor, o meio 11 têm baixa viscosidade e o calor gerado pelo objeto 15 é transportado no recipiente 2 de uma maneira efetiva a partir do objeto 15 para o trocador de calor 17 por meio de convecção natural no meio 11. O meio 11 é escolhido de modo que a convecção natural seja impedida principalmente quando a temperatura da região circundante 18 cai abaixo de um segundo valor. O calor gerado pelo objeto 15 é então transportado menos efetivamente no recipiente 2 a partir do objeto 15 para o trocador de calor 17, principalmente por meio de condução térmica no meio 11.

Title: Delay locked loops and methods that shift the phase of a delayed clock signal based on a reference phase value
Inventor: YOO CHANG-SIK
IPC: G11C11/407
Filed: 2000-01-27
Abstract: A delay locked loop generates an advanced clock signal synchronized with a reference clock signal. The delay locked loop includes an input buffer 21, a variable delay circuit 22, a delay compensation circuit 24, a phase shifter 23, a delay controller 25, a phase sensing pump 26 and a phase inversion controller 27.

The method according to the invention comprises the steps of lowering the manifold (32) and inserting a thereto connected central guide post (36) which projects down from the manifold, in a vertically extending, upwardly open guide hole (38) of the drilling template (22). Thereafter, during the introduction of the central guide post (36) in the guide hole (38) interacting sections of the central guide post (36) and the guide hole (38) respectively are made to cause an alignment of the manifold (32) in a fixed rotational position relative to the drilling template (22) during the introduction and before the manifold comes into contact with the drilling template (22). Finally, the manifold is lowered relative to the guide post (36) after the contact thereof in the guide hole (38). In the method no use is made of guidelines which extend from the plaform to the seabed. A device for implementing the method.

Filed: 2000-07-07
Abstract: In an air ventilation method at least one blower (P<SB>p</SB> and/or P<SB>t</SB>) is used for providing ventilation into a room / hall and out of a room / hall. In the ventilation method the outdoor air temperature and the temperature of the room /rooms /hall (H<SB>1</SB>,H<SB>2</SB>...) are observed and on the basis of the temperature differences between the outdoor air and the room /hall (H<SB>1</SB>,H<SB>2</SB>...) the pressure is calculated at which the air flow takes place into the room /out of the room / into the hall/ out of the hall (H<SB>1</SB>,H<SB>2</SB>...) without using a blower (Pp and/or Pt). If it is found that the air flow can be provided without the blower (Pp or Pt) so that all desired air flows from the room /rooms /hall /halls (H<SB>1</SB>,H<SB>2</SB>...) take place without using the blower, the blower (Pp,Pt) is switched off, whereby the ventilation takes place merely on the basis of the temperature difference between the room air and the outdoor air.

Title: Airbag or crash sensor activation of push-through backup mode in electro-hydraulic (EHB) braking systems
Inventor: HARRIS ALAN LESLIE
IPC: B60T8/40
Filed: 2000-10-14
Abstract: A vehicle electro-hydraulic braking system of the type which can operate in a brake-by-wire mode wherein hydraulic pressure from a motor driven pump 24 is applied to wheel brake actuators in proportion to the driver's braking demand as sensed electronically at a brake pedal 12. A signal from a crash sensor 38 or indicating airbag activation switches the system to a push-through mode wherein hydraulic pressures are applied directly to the front wheel brakes from a master cylinder 28 coupled mechanically to the brake pedal 12 via digital solenoid valves 30a,30b. If pressure P2,P3 in either front brake actuator 16a is higher than master cylinder pressure P1, front wheel pressure is dumped before switching to push-through mode. Thus the brake pedal moves forward/down away from the driver. A brake electronic control unit (ECU) 14 may then provide airbag actuating signals. Rear braking continuing under EHB control, demand being calculated as a "multiple average" from front brake circuit pressures P2,P3 and master cylinder pressure P1.

Title: Method for detecting stuck pipe in a rotary drilling operation
Inventor: REZMER-COOPER IAIN
IPC: E21B47/09
Filed: 2001-10-24
Abstract: A method of monitoring a well to detect and provide a warning of pipe sticking. The method includes monitoring the downhole annular fluid pressures of the drilling fluid being pumped through the drill string 12 and obtaining a series of pressure measurements, monitoring the surface torque required to rotate the drill string 12 and obtaining a series of torque measurements, comparing the series of pressure measurements with the series of torque measurements to identify corresponding changes in both and raising an alarm when the magnitude of the changes exceeds predetermined values. In alternative embodiments, two or more annular fluid pressures may be monitored. Surface torque or downhole torque may be monitored and may be measured at two or more locations. Remedial measures may be taken to prevent pipe sticking. The skew of the series of annular pressure measurements may be obtained and the normalised standard deviation of the surface or downhole torque measurements may be obtained. The skew and the standard deviation values may be compared to locate depth intervals at which the identified corresponding changes occurred and an alarm raised if the changes of their product exceeds predetermined values.
