Abstract: The invention relates to a palette container (10) comprising a thin-walled rigid inner container (12) made of thermoplastic synthetic material for storing and transporting liquid or flowable filling products. The inventive palette container also comprises a grid tube frame (14) which, as a support casing, closely surrounds the plastic container (12), and comprises a base palette (16) on which the plastic container (12) rests and to which the support casing is firmly attached. The grid tube frame (14) consists of vertical and horizontal tubular rods (30, 32) that are welded to one another at points of intersection (36). Several prior art palette containers exhibit substantial shortcomings (grid tube fatigue fracture) when subjected to prolonged dynamic vibrational stress that occurs, for example, during persistent stresses caused by the transport on roads of poor quality. The aim of the invention is to achieve an adapted optimal vibrational elasticity in order to improve the stability of the grid frame while providing a sufficient degree of flexural strength. To this end, the tubular rods (30, 32) have a closed profile (18) with a particular trapezoidal cross-section.

Abstract: A charge pump power converter efficiently provides electrical power by dynamically controlling a switch matrix (48) of the charge pump (44). Instead of open-loop oscillator-based control, a dynamic controller (50) provides power upon demand by sensing the output voltage and changing the operating frequency of the charge pump in response. Moreover, this closed-loop dynamic control intrinsically voltage regulates the output voltage of the charge pump power converter without the inefficient addition of a step-down voltage regulator, downstream of the power converter. Additional efficiencies are achieved through maintaining the voltage ripple across the fly capacitor (Cf) and/or the load capacitor (Cl). Also, a three-state control scheme is used to charge the fly capacitor, wait for the output voltage to drop to a predetermined level, and discharge the fly capacitor. Furthermore, a multiple-output charge pump power converter provides multiple voltage levels for devices such as portable communication electronic devices.

Abstract: A well testing system and well testing method is described which can be operated as a closed system with no production of hydrocarbons outside the well or gas can be separated and flared at surface giving minimal environmental impact with the liquid hydrocarbon being re-injected. This is achieved by providing a string with at least two well conduits which may be arranged in a concentric or non-concentric parallel configuration. One conduit is used to produce formation fluids to surface or to produce/store unrepresentative initial flow products and the other conduit is used to store formation fluid. The storage conduit can be filled from the top (surface) or the bottom of the well. In a preferred arrangement a valve is provided between the storage conduit and the well annulus for well pressure control, and a shut-in or test valve, which is controllable from surface, is disposed in the non-storage production conduit. A flow control valve is provided at the lower end of the string or at surface and the size of the valve opening is controllable to allow formation fluid to enter the storage string at a controlled rate, so that the formation fluid flowing time is increased to maximize the radius of investigation into the formation to a similar order of magnitude of existing production tests and extended well tests, which are typically two to three times the order of magnitude of the radius of investigation of a wireline formation test. Other aspects and embodiments of the invention are described.
