Abstract: The inventive device for measuring the stickiness of a flowable medium comprises two associated surfaces (3, 4) which are arranged on cylindrical support bodies (1, 2). Said surfaces are configured on a measured-value transmitter (9) with an area of set extensibility (12, 13).      The flowable medium (5) to be tested is located between the two surfaces (3, 4) and exerts a force on the surfaces when the support bodies (1, 2) are turned. The measured value transmitter (9) is pulled away from the support body (1) with the sticky medium. This excursion is detected by measuring devices (16) and transmitted for evaluation.

Title: Method and system for tiered digital television terrestrial broadcasting services using multi-bit-stream frequency interleaved ofdm
Inventor: WU YIYAN
IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 2001-04-12
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for tiered digital broadcasting. A plurality of different bit streams representing digital data targeted for different services is received from a data source. Each bit-stream of the plurality of different bit-streams is modulated on a plurality of OFDM sub-carriers. Sub- carriers of different bit streams have different spectral efficiency. The parallel OFDM sub-carriers of each bit-stream are frequency interleaved with the parallel OFDM sub-carriers of the other bit streams of the plurality of different bit streams such that the parallel OFDM sub-carriers of each bit-stream are spread over an entire available frequency spectrum. The interleaved sub-carriers are transformed into time domain for providing a frequency interleaved OFDM signal. The OFDM signal is then upconverted to the frequency of a broadcasting channel and transmitted. The method and system according to the invention enables a broadcasting station to transmit multiple bit streams with different spectral efficiency using one RF channel allowing, for example, simultaneous transmission of digital TV for fixed and mobile recipients. Frequency interleaving of the OFDM sub-carriers of each of the multiple bit streams over the entire spectrum of a RF channel substantially reduces the risk that a signal is notched out by multipath distortion or fading.

Title: Snow or soil grader
Inventor: L ABBE JOHN
IPC: E01H4/02
Filed: 2001-05-07
Abstract: A grader vehicle has a vehicle body mounted on two drive tracks. A boom is mounted on the front of the vehicle and extends to the front of the body. A third drive track is mounted on the leading end of the boom by a steering mechanism for rotation about an upright steering axis. The three tracks are driven by separate hydraulic motors. The use of a steering, driven track on the boom provides a tractive force pulling the vehicle forwards in the desired direction of travel and positively driving the leading end of the boom in the direction of a turn. The track also provides a degree of packing at the centre of the vehicle's path that can not be achieved with a ski gliding on the surface. This is of particular importance when packing ski trails with the vehicle. For grading purposes, the vehicle has a grader blade across the front of the vehicle and a second blade leading the front track. This provides both grading and packing at the centre of the track where prior art tracked vehicles would at most provide a grading action with a scraper blade.

Title: Novel fluids and techniques for maximizing fracture fluid clean-up
Inventor: ENGLAND KEVIN W
IPC: C09K8/68
Filed: 1999-09-23
Abstract: The present invention relates to methods to stimulate the production of hydrocarbons from a subterranean formation (40). The present invention discloses methods to enhance the removal of fracturing fluid from a fracture (42) deliberately created in the formation (40), thereby increasing effective fracture (42) length, and thereby increasing hydrocarbon production. The methods of the present invention involve breaker schedules wherein the breakers are staged such that the fluid near the fracture (42) tip (46) breaks first creating a viscosity gradient which causes the fluid residdent in the tip (46) to move towards the wellbore (10) where it is more easily removed. Preferred embodiments of the invention involve the use of gas to foam the fluid in the early pumping stages to induce a density gradient, as well as the use of fibrous material in the latter pumping stages to stabilize the proppant pack as the energized fluid in the near-tip (46) squeezes through the near wellbore (10) region.
