Title: An improved method of dual wavefield reinforcement
Inventor: STARR JOEL
IPC: G01V1/36
Filed: 1999-08-23
Abstract: A method and system of dual wavefield reinforcement or increasing the contributions to each image point in the seismic image can be accomplished by aligning the upward traveling energy, U, and the downward traveling energy, D, and then summing U and D in the stacking process. A method of dual wavefield reinforcement includes receiving seismic data having both up going and down going wavefields. Pre-NMO and post NMO statics for each of said up going and said down going wavefields are calculated. The NMO/DMO stacking velocities for the seismic data on the up going wavefield floating datum and the down going wavefield floating datum are determined. The determined pre NMO statics, the NMO/DMO stacking velocities and the post NMO statics are applied to bring each of the up going and the down going wavefields to the final datum. The up going and the down going wavefields are summed to provide dual wavefield reinforcement.

Title: Method for continuously monitoring and controlling the monomer conversion during emulsion polymerization
Inventor: KRONER HUBERTUS
IPC: C08F2/22
Filed: 2000-02-10
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for on-line monitoring and controlling the monomer conversion during emulsion polymerization.  According to said method, a balance is continuously made, starting from an initialization point in time, of the heat amount Q IN fed to a reaction, the reaction enthalpy Q RE added by the supply with monomers and the amount of heat Q OUT dissipated from the reactor. A  non-dissipated amount of heat Q AD is calculated on the basis of these values which in the case of a spontaneous adiabatic reaction would result in an increase in the internal temperature and the internal pressure of the reactor. A check is carried out whether the potential adiabatic temperatures and pressures are always within the predetermined upper limits.  If said upper limits are exceeded, the addition of monomers to the reactor is slowed down or stopped.
