Abstract: A method and associated apparatus continuously optimizes reservoir, well and surface network systems by using monitoring data and downhole control device s to continuously change the position of a downhole intelligent control valve (ICV) (12) until a set of characteristics associated with the "actual" monitored data is approximately equal to, or is not significantly different than, a set of characteristics associated with "target" data that is provide d by a reservoir simulator (32). A control pulse (18) having a predetermined signature is transmitted downhole thereby changing a position of the ICV. In response, a sensor (14) generates signals representing "actual" monitoring data. A simulator (32) which models a reservoir layer provides "target" data . A computer apparatus (30) receives the "actual" data and the "target" data and, when the "actual" data is not approximately equal to the "target" data, the computer apparatus (30) executes a "monitoring and control process" program code which changes the predetermined signature of the control pulse to a second and different predetermined signature. A new pulse having the secon d predetermined signature is transmitted downhole and the above process repeat s until the "actual" data received by the computer apparatus (30) is approximately equal tothe "target" data.

Granted: 2010-01-19
Abstract: The invention concerns a solid-state x-ray detector comprising a photosensitive sensor associated with a radiation converter called scintillator (5), transforming the X-radiation into a radiation to which the sensor (1) is responsive, and an input window (10) traversed by the X-radiation upstream of the scintillator (5). The input window (10) is set on the scintillator (5) without being fixed to the scintillator (5), and a moisture-proof sealing joint (11) fixes the input window (10) and the sensor (1). The scintillator (5) comprises a support (8) and a scintillating substance (7). The support (8) is separate from the sensor (1). Such type of detector is useful in particular in radiology, radiography, fluoroscopy, mammography, but also for non-destructive control.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil améliorés permettant d'éliminer un agent de soutènement d'un fluide utilisé dans un puits de pétrole et de gaz pour le réutiliser dans des opérations postérieures. L'agent de soutènement est séparé du fluide de puits et est transporté à un réservoir collecteur de matériaux. Une grue transporte alors le réservoir collecteur de matériaux sur un bateau de traitement. Sur ledit bateau de traitement, l'agent de soutènement est transféré du réservoir collecteur de matériaux à une trémie. L'agent de soutènement est alors déversé de ladite trémie dans un réservoir de stockage pour traitement et réutilisation. Dans un premier mode de réalisation alternatif, deux trémies sont placées l'une sur l'autre de sorte que l'agent de soutènement peut être ajouté dans la trémie supérieure puis, sous l'effet de la gravité, dans la trémie inférieure. Un agencement de robinets maintient le vide à l'intérieur d'au moins une trémie tout le temps pour assurer une opération sous vide continue. Une conduite déverse ledit agent de soutènement de la trémie inférieure dans le réservoir de stockage.

Des données représentatives d'une carte d'aéroport sont traduites et communiquées entre des systèmes d'aéronef utilisant un procédé d'échange de données qui facilite la production d'informations utilisées pour représenter une carte d'aéroport. Par ailleurs, des données représentatives d'itinéraires de roulage, d'itinéraires de roulage modifiés et de position courante de l'aéronef sur l'aéroport sont aussi traduites et communiquées au moyen d'un procédé d'échange de donné compact. Les données de carte d'aéroport sont transposées à l'échelle de sorte qu'elles sont compatibles avec des systèmes d'affichage qui auparavant étaient incompatibles avec l'affichage de certaines cartes d'aéroport. Des aéronefs équipés d'indicateurs de type TV sont manipulés de façon à afficher la symbologie de carte par redéfinition d'étiquettes de groupe de vecteur. Pour des applications de mise à niveau, ce système d'affichage de carte d'aéroport est activé lorsqu'une entrée préexistante est activée (par exemple un bouton <=ARPT>=) lorsqu'une page liée au roulage est active.

Abstract: A robotic device (10) has a base and at least one finger (46a-c) having at least two links that are connected in series on rotary joints (32a,b) with at least two degrees of freedom. A brushless motor and an associated controller are located at each joint to produce a rotational movement of a link. Wires for electrical power and communication serially connect the controllers in a distributed control network. A network operating controller coordinates the operation of the network, including power distribution. At least one, but more typically two to five, wires interconnect all the controllers through one or more joints. Motor sensors and external world sensors monitor operating parameters of the robotic hand. The electrical signal output of the sensors can be input anywhere on the distributed control network. V-grooves on the robotic hand locate objects precisely and assist in gripping. The hand is sealed, immersible and has electrical connections through the rotary joints for anodizing in a single dunk without masking. In various forms, this intelligent, self-contained, dexterous hand, or combinations of such hands, can perform a wide variety of object gripping and manipulating tasks, as well as locomotion and combinations of locomotion and gripping.
