Patent EP-0240372-B1 (EP)
IPC: G01V5/10
Filed: 1987-01-28
Granted: 1991-09-18
Abstract: A novel neutron burst timing, detection, and calculation method and apparatus are disclosed for a Thermal Decay Time Logging System. A neutron bursting regime is provided which includes a short burst, long burst repetitive sequence. After a short delay from the short burst, a first series of time gates is provided for accumulating gamma ray counts. After a relatively longer delay from the long burst, a second series of time gates is provided for accumulating gamma ray counts. The thermal neutron decay time constant  tau  and the macroscopic capture cross-section  SIGMA  of the formation are determined through an iterative procedure by which the formation  tau is estimated from the second series of time gates which have been stripped of borehole decay counts determined from the first series of time gates. Similarly, the borehole  tau  is estimated from the first series of time gates which have been stripped of formation decay counts determined from the second series of time gates.

Abstract: A heat pump system has a refrigerant circulation system that is cooled by passing through a thermal storage heat exchanger. The heat exchanger is supplied by ice from an ice maker and can store heat energy by accumulation of ice in the heat exchanger. The ice is generated by cooling a secondary refrigerant, typically brine, at the wall of a ice making machine and scouring the wall prior to crystallisation of the brine mixture to disperse the super cooled liquid adjacent the wall into the body of the secondary refrigerant. Crystallisation is then promoted in the body of the liquid. The ice generator in a preferred form comprises a series of flat plates having primary refrigerant passing between the flat plates and secondary refrigerant passing over the surface of the flat plates. A series of scrapers rotate about an axis normal to the plane of the plates to disperse super cooled secondary refrigerants throughout the body of the secondary refrigerant in the ice generator.

Abstract: In producing an additive for a building material, lightweight granules (e.g. polystyrene beads) are first coated with a waterproof adhesive by mixing in a suitable mixer. When the granules are satisfactorily coated, they are further coated with a wet cementitious material, for example aggregate and wet cement, or with wet plaster, which is added to the mixer. Only sufficient moisture is added to allow the cement or plaster to go off. The wet material acts to separate the granules while forming a coating thereon. The granules are then removed from the mixer and allowed to dry and set. The dry granules may then be added to a conventional concrete or plaster mix.

Abstract: There is disclosed an activated sludge wastewater treatment process which comprises aerating a mixed liquor comprising phosphate-containing influent wastewater and activated sludge in an aeration or high-purity oxygen zone to reduce the BOD/COD content of the wastewater and to cause the microorganisms present to take up phosphate. A phosphate-enriched sludge in which the phosphorus is present primarily in the sludge solids is separated from the mixed liquor to provide a substantially phosphate-free effluent. At least a portion of said phosphate-enriched sludge is passed to a phosphate pre-stripping zone, either in a separate tank or within the phosphate stripper tank itself, where BOD/COD-containing water, or feedwater, containing at least 50 mg/L of BOD, is added to poise the sludge organisms to begin enhanced rapid release of dissolved phosphate by pre-stripping it from the sludge or poising the sludge for rapid, enhanced release of phosphate. Thence, the sludge is passed to a phosphate stripping zone. In the phosphate stripping zone, the sludge settles to form a supernatant liquor in the stripping zone upper section and settled sludge in the stripping zone lower section. The settled sludge is maintained under anaerobic conditions for a time sufficient to complete the release of the desired amount of phosphate from the sludge solids to the liquid phase of said settled sludge. At least a portion of the anaerobic sludge from the phosphate stripping zone is recycled to the aeration or high-purity oxygen zone as activated sludge. The phosphate-rich supernatant from the phosphate stripping zone may be applied directly to land, or treated with a chemical precipitating agent to precipitate the phosphate therefrom and the precipitated phosphate may then be removed through the use of a reactor/clarifier, primary or secondary clarifier or other tankage, thus preparing the phosphate for final disposal directly or as fresh, digested or otherwise treated sludge.

Abstract: Edible spreads are prone to microbiological spoilage by a number of organisms, including molds and bacteria as well as by physical changes occurring on storage. While the growth of these organisms and consequently the onset of spoilage can be inhibited by the use of preservatives, some consumers find preservatives unacceptable. We have determined that in edible fat products wherein the fat phase comprise a homogeneous dispersion of fine crystals and in which the fat phase is essentially free of crystalline aggregates spoilage is greatly reduced. Anhydrous products can be produced by melting the fat, substantially in the absence of an aqueous medium, cooling the melted fat to a temperature at which partial crystallization occurs, homogenising the partially crystallised fat, and, cooling the homogenised fat to further crystallise the fat. By means of a modified process it is possible to produce comprising 50-60% fat phase, 40-50% water phase, 0.1-1% lecithin, 0.01-1% salt, being essentially free of monoglycerides, proteins and sorbate salts, which are stable on storage.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for locking doors of machines containing rotating members which closes the contacts of an electrical switch subsequent to locking the door and opens the contacts prior to unlocking the door. It is characterized by the fact that hook 5 of the door is retained by a block 4 which is rotated about its axis due to the action of hook 5 while closing the door so that after the locking of the rotating block 4, hook 5 can no longer be drawn out. Rotating block 4 is fixed on a small shaft 3 with which it rotates, said small shaft 3 having in turn a second substantially cylindrical block 7 which has a peripheral surface shaped as a cam and which has in the end opposite the first block 4 a cavity 8 to house the tail 27 of a locking bolt 9 which moves parallel to the axis of said small shaft 3, the opposite end 26 of locking bolt 9 working on the moving contact 10 of the electrical switch 11. When the end of locking bolt 27 enters the cavity 8 it locks block 7 and therefore block 4 against rotation, thereby locking the door. The operation of the various parts of the device is obtained by means of two mobile boxes moving parallel to the axis of the shaft 3, of which one 14 cooperates with cam 7 arranged on shaft 3 and the other 13 cooperates with the front part 29 of locking bolt 9 and with a lever arm 19 rotating about a pivot 20 with the opposite end connected to a small piston 22 of an electromagnet 23. <IMAGE>
