Patent CA-2482848-A1 (CA)
Title: Smoothing method for layered deposition modeling
Inventor: PRIEDEMAN JR WILLIAM R
IPC: B29C67/00
Filed: 2003-04-04
Abstract: Disclosed is a method for smoothing the surface of an object built from a polymeric or wax material using a layered manufacturing rapid prototyping technique. After the object is built it is exposed to a vaporized solvent such as in a vaporizer for an exposure time sufficient to reflow the object surface. A solvent is chosen based on its ability to transiently soften the material which forms the object, and thereafter evaporate off the object. The object is removed from the solvent and allowed to dry, producing a smooth finished part.

Title: System for combining signals of pressure sensors and particle motion sensors in marine seismic streamers
Inventor: VAAGE SVEIN TORLEIF
IPC: G01V1/28
Filed: 2004-12-23
Abstract: Signals of pressure sensors and particle motion sensors located in marine seismic streamers are combined to generate pressure sensor data and particle motion data with substantially the same broad bandwidth. The noisy low frequency part of the motion signals are calculated from the recorded pressure signals and merged with the non-noisy motion signals. The two broad bandwidth data sets can then be combined to calculate the full up- and down-going wavefields.

IPC: G11C13/04
Filed: 2003-12-22
Abstract: The invention relates to a micro-optical grid structure (G) formed on a substrate (S) that is preferably produces as a surface grid structure. The invention also relates to a method for producing said grid structure.  Furthermore, the invention relates to a product that comprises one or several pattern areas (A, B, C, D), which single pattern areas are formed by means of the grid structure according to the invention. According to the invention the grid structure (G) is arranged to produce for a viewer a holographic or corresponding visual effect based on the diffraction of light by directing the light diffracted from the grid structure and corresponding to the design wavelength (.lambda.) substantially to only a few diffraction orders (m).  Single diffraction order thus corresponds to a certain observing direction of the visual effect observed on said design wavelength. According to the invention the grid structure is arranged to leave a free range of angles between adjacent observing directions, such that the grid structure (G) being examined from directions corresponding to said range of angles does not produce for the viewer a clearly observable effect based on diffraction, said grid structure being thus substantially transparent. The invention is suitable for producing visual effects that are transparent in the above-described way but at the same time clearly visible in the observing directions for example on the substrates transparent as such.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif pour mesurer précisément une consommation de gaz au moyen d'un compteur de gaz (1). On connaît déjà les compteurs de gaz (1) dotés d'un capteur de débit (1a) qui détermine un signal de mesure (V¿s?, V¿ns?, M¿s?, E¿s?) pour une consommation quantitative et/ou énergétique du gaz (3a). Selon l'invention, un facteur de correction pondéré en fonction de la consommation (F) est déterminé en faisant la moyenne pondérée d'un facteur d'erreur de saisie (f¿i?, f¿i? , f¿i? , f¿i? ) du compteur de gaz (1) avec une courbe de consommation (l¿i?, l¿i? , L¿i?) typique pour le site de consommation de gaz (14), le signal de mesure (V¿s?, V¿ns?, M¿s?, E¿s?) étant converti au moyen du facteur de correction (F) en une valeur d'émission ou de consommation (V¿n?, M, E) corrigée. Des exemples de réalisation concernent, entre autres, le fonctionnement d'un compteur de gaz (1) en tant que compteur de volume, de masse ou d'énergie (1), des formules de détermination d'un facteur de correction (F) au moyen des facteurs d'erreur de saisie (f¿i?, f¿i? , f¿i? , f¿i? ) et des courbes de consommation (l¿i?, l¿i? , L¿i?) en termes de volume, de masse ou d'énergie, la correction d'un signal de mesure sur un compteur de gaz (1) enregistreur ou non enregistreur. Les avantages sont, entre autres, la correction ultérieure d'un signal de mesure spécifique au client, l'absence de mesure supplémentaire du compteur de gaz (1), une précision de mesure accrue, notamment une mesure énergétique améliorée par la compensation des variations inhérentes du signal d'énergie (E¿s?) en cas de changement de valeur calorifique (H¿i?, H¿i? ) .
