Abstract: A liquid electrolyte battery is disclosed having autonomous watering and electrolyte mixing systems. Watering is effected through a fluid conduit and a valve system mounted on the battery providing fluid communication and flow control between a fluid source and the battery cells. Mixing of the electrolyte is effected by pumping air into the battery cells to prevent acid stratification during charging using an air conduit and air pump mounted on the battery. The fluid conduit provides fluid communication between the air pump and the cells. A controller mounted on the battery receives input signals from various sensors indicative of electrolyte level and charging status and controls the valve system and the air pump to effect watering and electrolyte mixing. A protective cover is mounted on the battery to restrict access to the controller and the air pump.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for calculating the relative volumetric flow-rates of at least one of the phases of a multiphase effluent flowing in a well. Firstly, the local volumetric fractions and/or velocities of the phases across a section of the wall at a certain depth is acquired. Then, the local volumetric fraction and/or velocity measurements is/are corrected in order to make them consistent with each other and/or with the effluent flow conditions. Subsequently, selection of a suitable flow model mathematically representing the effluent flow is selected. Then, The local volumetric fraction measurements and/or the local velocity measurements are interpolated by the selected flow model in order to obtain a volumetric fraction profile and/or a velocity profile for at least one phase of the effluent across the section of the well at the depth. Finally, the relative volumetric flow-rates of the at least one phase are calculated by integration of the volumetric fraction and/or velocity profiles over the section of the well at the depth.

Abstract: An integrated charge sensing scheme for sensing the resistance of a resistive memory element is described. The current through a resistive memory cell is used to charge a capacitor coupled to a digit line. The voltage on the capacitor, which corresponds to the voltage on the digit line, is applied to one input of a comparator. When the voltage on the bit line exceeds a predetermined fixed voltage applied to the second input to the comparator less an offset, the comparator switches logic state, charge is drawn off from the capacitor and the capacitor charges again. The process of charging and discharging the capacitor occurs during a predetermined time period and the number of times the capacitor switches during the time period represents the resistance of the memory element.
