Abstract: This relates to methods and apparatus for analyzing samples by fluorescence spectroscopy. In one embodiment, the methods and apparatus use a fluorescence detection unit (FDU) of a composition fluid analyzer (CFA .TM.) module to detect variations in fluid properties (gradients) within an oil bearing column. Some embodiments enable efficient downhole fluid analysis in heavy oils where water/oil emulsions are present (water in dispersed phase and oil in the continuous phase). The principles described herein may also be applied when there are fine particles in the oil such as from unconsolidated sands.

Abstract: A method of producing a long magnesium material excellent in the plastic workability and a long magnesium material obtained according to the producing method are provided. Pure magnesium or a magnesium alloy is cast to prepare a cast material and, to the cast material, the plastic working is applied to prepare a long processed material. The plastic working includes a hot process that accompanies a cross sectional area reduction and is applied at a temperature of 250°C or more. When the hot process is applied, during the process, in the vicinity of a surface of a workpiece, an oxide is generated and present there.                                                        The oxide, when the plastic working (secondary working) such as drawing and forging is applied to the formed material, may be a starting point of the crack or disconnection.                                               In this connection, in the invention, a surface layer of the formed material is removed to effectively remove the oxide that becomes a starting point of the crack or disconnection, and thereby the secondary workability is improved.

Abstract: Method for determining an expected value for a proposed reconnaissance electromagnetic (or any other type of geophysical) survey using a user-controlled source. The method requires only available geologic and economic information about the survey region. A series of calibration surveys are simulated with an assortment of resistive targets consistent with the known information. The calibration surveys are used to train pattern recognition software to assess the economic potential from anomalous resistivity maps. The calibrated classifier is then used on further simulated surveys of the area to generate probabilities that can be used in Value of Information theory to predict an expected value of a survey of the same design as the simulated surveys. The calibrated classifier technique can also be used to interpret actual CSEM survey results for economic potential.

Abstract: Method comprising providing a signal tube (40) extending generally from an engine component (42) disposed on a hot side of a firewall (44) in a gas turbine engine (30) to at least one engine control mechanism (46) disposed on a cool side of the firewall. A fuse (54) in the signal tube is operable responsive to a breach (70) in the signal tube (40) to change from a first condition to a second condition to prevent an over-temperature situation on the cool side of the firewall (44). The engine control mechanism operates the engine according to a first operating logic utilizing a pressure signal related to a static pressure of a fluid in the signal tube. Loss of the pressure signal causes the engine control mechanism to change to a second operating logic which does not utilize the pressure signal.

Abstract: In the present invention, the slave base station (64) attains synchronization with the reference base station (62) through messages transmitted from and received by a mobile station (60) in the soft handoff region between the reference base station (62) and the slave base station (64). First, the round trip delay between the mobile station (60) and the reference base station (62) is measured by the reference base station (62). Once the mobile station (60) acquires the signal from the slave base station (64), it measures and reports the difference between the amount of time it takes a signal to travel from the reference base station (62) to it and the amount of time it takes a signal to travel from the slave base station (64) to it. The last measurement necessary is a measurement by the slave base station (64) of the time difference between the time it received the reverse link signal from the mobile (60) and station the time it transmitted a signal to the mobile station. A series of computations described in detail herein are performed upon the measured time values to determine the time difference between the slave base station (64) and an adjustment o f the slave base station (64) timing is performed in accordance therewith.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the modification of hyaluronic acid (HA) with aryl/alkyl succinic anhydrides (ASA) to produce aryl/alkyl succinic anhydride HA derivatives, to the derivatives as such, and to their applications and uses, particularly in the cosmetic and biomedical industries. The ASA-HA  derivatives are expected to have interesting properties that can be used for advanced formulation (bind stronger to the skin compared to non-modified HA), possibly also in delivery systems for actives or drugs by encapsulation (nano/micro capsules) or formation of nano/micro spheres. Further, the low MW  ASA-HA derivatives are expected to penetrate the skin more efficiently than non-modified HA of the same MW.

Abstract: Here is a system and method for combining an additive with a carrier fluid in a spray nozzle. The carrier fluid is fed to one or more nozzles that include an embedded Venturi. The Venturi includes an induction port connected to an additive supply. As the carrier fluid flows through the nozzle, the flow creates a vacuum or suction force that draws in the additive. Of particular advantage, the concentration of the additive combined with the carrier fluid can be maintained constant even if the flow rate of the carrier fluid varies. The system and process are particularly well suited for spraying fields, such as crop fields or orchards, with an agrochemical.

Les extrémités des passages de dérivation raccordées aux corps d'étrangleurs sont montées plus haut que celles qui mènent au filtre à air, de telle sorte que les passages de dérivation sont inclinés vers le bas. L'eau ne peut donc pas les obstruer et l'on obtient ce résultat grâce à une structure fort simple.
