Inventor: DROTT PETER
IPC: B60T11/22
Filed: 1999-06-29
Abstract: The invention relates to an actuation device for an electrohydraulic braking system of the brake-by- wire type. Said actuation device is configured as a tandem master cylinder whose first and second piston is pre-stressed by respective readjusting springs against the direction of actuation. The readjusting spring that is allocated to the first piston simultaneously serves as a travel simulator spring that determines the pedal characteristics. A valve device blocks or releases a hydraulic connection between a pressure chamber (4) that receives the travel simulator spring and a pressure fluid reservoir (6). The aim of the invention is to ensure that only a short idle travel must be covered if the external braking system fails. To this end, the valve device is closed by a movement of the second piston (3) vis-à-vis the housing (50) of the tandem master cylinder. Also, the valve device is made up of a packing collar (12) that is located on the second piston (3) and a channel (16) that is configured in the range of movement of said packing collar (12), said channel communicating with the pressure fluid reservoirs (6).

IPC: E21B21/08
Filed: 1997-05-05
Abstract: This invention provides a fluid-handling system for use in
underbalanced drilling operations. The system includes a first
vessel which acts as a four phase separator. The first vessel
includes a first stage for separating solids. Oil and gas are
separated at a second stage. A pressure sensor provides signals
to a pressure controller, which modulates a gas flow
valve coupled to the vessel for discharging gas from the first
vessel. The pressure controller maintains the pressure in the
first vessel at a predetermined value. An oil level sensor
placed in the first vessel provides a signal to an oil level
controller. The oil level controller modulates an oil flow
valve coupled to the vessel to discharge oil from the first
vessel into a second vessel. Water is discharged into a third
vessel. Water from the third vessel is discharged via a water
flow control valve, which is modulated by a level controller
as a function of the water level in the third vessel. Any gas
in the third vessel is discharged by modulating a gas control
valve as a function of the pressure in the third vessel.
