Title: Solvent assisted oil recovery
Inventor: HUGHES TREVOR
IPC: C09K8/524
Filed: 2008-04-23
Abstract: The recovery of oil from a reservoir is assisted by injecting a diluent into the reservoir formation to reduce the viscosity of the crude oil. The diluent is a mixture of a material which is an asphaltene precipitant, especially supercritical carbon dioxide, and a more polar material which comprises at least one aliphatic compound which includes at least one of a cycloaliphatic ring, an olefinic unsaturation, an ester or ether group. The inclusion of such an aliphatic compound which is more polar than the asphaltene precipitant reduces asphaltene precipitation and can enhance the efficiency of oil recovery when the precipitant is by supercritical carbon dioxide.

Title: Method for reducing the vibration levels of a propfan of contrarotating bladed disks of a turbine engine
Inventor: LOMBARD JEAN-PIERRE FRANCOIS
IPC: F02K3/072
Filed: 2009-08-27
Abstract: A method for reducing the vibration levels, in a turbine engine comprising two bladed disks forming a propfan of contrarotating disks, when the two disks are traversed by a gaseous fluid, turbulence of aerodynamic origin is generated by one disk on the other. During the design of the bladed disks an initial configuration 2 of the blades is defined, the synchronous forced response is calculated 3 on the first bladed disk as a function of the harmonic excitation force generated by the second bladed disk expressed in the form of a linear function of the generalized aerodynamic force for the mode in question; for stacked sections of one of the two disks, a tangential geometric offset value of the individual aerodynamic profile is determined so as to reduce the term corresponding to the generalized aerodynamic force. The combination of the individual profiles on the sections with the tangential offsets defines a new configuration of the blades of one disk which is then applied 7.

IPC: H03H11/36
Filed: 1930-03-28
Abstract: 347,431. Wireless and wired-wireless signalling. MARCONI'S WIRELESS TELEGRAPH CO., Ltd., Marconi House, Strand, London.-(Assignees of Weinberger, J. ; 31, Mosholu Parkway, New York, U.S.A.) March 28, 1930, No. 10022. Convention date, March 29, 1929. [Class 40 (v).] The pick-up from an outside aerial 1 is distributed aperiodically to a number of radio receivers 3, located for instance in the various rooms of an apartment house, through a series of two-wire aperiodic transmission lines 5, each fitted with a terminal " surge " impedance and with series loading-coils 37, Fig. 2, so as to minimize interaction between the various channels. Each line 5 is coupled to the aerial 1 through a separate amplifier 7, whilst each individual receiver 3 is coupled to the feed-line through an amplifier 19. A common electric source 11, either battery or mains, supplies the entire equipment, whilst a central volume-control 9 allows an overall supervision. As shown in Fig. 2, the volume control comprises a resistance 23 in the aerial with adjustable tappings to the input of the first valve 27 of each of the amplifiers 7. A resistance 45, Fig. 2, inserted across the grid and filament of the first valve of each amplifier 19, also serves to reduce interaction between the sets. Reception may also be improved by inserting a series-tuned " dummy " aerial in the leads between the amplifiers 19 and receivers 3. In an alternative arrangement, an outside T-aerial is coupled through filter circuit and transformer directly to the distributing lines 5, the aperiodic character of the coupling helping to prevent interaction.

Title: Core structure for solid-moderator nuclear reactors
Inventor: ROUGE PIERRE
IPC: C22B23/02
Filed: 1966-03-08
Abstract: 1,120,053. Moderator structures. COMMISSARIAT A L'ENERGIE ATOMIQUE. 8 March, 1966 [12 March, 1965], No. 10065/66. Heading G6C. A reactor core structure comprises columns of moderator material carried by a support and positioned with their axes parallel to a common direction and maintained so by keying means, channels located between and parallel with the columns for receiving nuclear fuel structures, the pitch of the channel lattice being greater than that of the column lattice, and a thermal shield carried by the columns and consisting of a plurality of elements disposed on a lattice identical with the channel lattice, each element being coupled with adjacent elements by keying means lying in at least three planes passing through the axis of the element, and coupling means being provided between the shield elements and the columns to maintain the identity of the channel and shield element lattices. As shown in Fig. 1, each column such as 10 of the core structure is of hexagonal cross-section with four faces being keyed and the remaining two, which are part-cylindrical, forming parts of the walls of fuel channels 16. These columns are surrounded by a reflector made up of columns 18 of hexagonal crosssection and keyed to adjacent columns. The reflector is maintained either by a rigid side restraint or a series of beams disposed within ducts 19. An additional keying plane for the moderator columns is provided by the thermal shield, usually of steel, which rests on the moderator/reflector structure. The shield is formed by a series of tiles 20, 23 of hexagonal cross-section. With the exception of those covering the reflector, the tiles are each pierced by a central bore 22 which forms an extension of each fuel channel 16. Each tile 20 is coupled with the six adjacent tiles 23 and the six columns (e.g. column 14) over which it is placed by means of six keys 24, as shown in Fig. 3. Each key 24 engages in two radial grooves 26, 28 of two adjacent tiles 20, 23 and also a groove 30 in the top face of the uppermost brick of column 14, and occupies the plane corresponding to that of the keying plane absent from the column. The superposed bricks in the columns are locked against rotation by means of a key in a radial plane at angle of 60 degrees with the two keying planes which already exist. The key engages grooves (Fig. 5, not shown), in the adjacent faces of the superposed bricks, the bottom face of the key being provided with a V-shaped cut-out portion engaging the bottom of the groove in the top face of the lower brick which is of corresponding shape. The tiles forming the thermal shield are capable of displacement but their axes remain located at the apices of a uniform lattice of which the form is constant though the scale may change. In the case of Wigner growth of the bricks, the peripheral side restraint and the tiles remain stationary and maintain the assembly of columns; only the clearances between columns are modified and liable to become unequal, the column channel lattices remain unchanged.
