Abstract: L'invention concerne un système d'allumage-combustion amélioré pour des moteurs à combustion interne. Dans une zone (4) restreinte comprise dans la chambre de combustion, se situant principalement dans la culasse (6), sous une soupape (8) d'échappement, de larges effets (124a, 124b) de chasse d'air se forment sur le bord de la zone de combustion et produisent des flux (2, 2a, 3a, 3b) d'air entrant en collision les uns avec les autres, produisant une turbulence (3c) élevée au centre de la zone de combustion. Une ou deux bougies (12a/118, 12b/18a) sont placée au bord de la zone de combustion à l'intérieur des régions à effet de chasse prononcé, ce qui permet de réaliser un système combiné d'allumage et de combustion à décharge d'allumage couplée aux flux entrant en collision (colliding-flow-coupled-spark discharge :CFCSD). L'allumage est effectué au moyen d'étincelles d'allumage haute énergie résistant aux flux d'air, qui se déplacent sous l'influence de l'effet de chasse en direction de la région de turbulence centrale lorsque le piston s'approche du point mort supérieur, ce qui provoque une combustion rapide et complète des mélanges de RGE pauvres et riches et permet d'assurer un rendement maximal du moteur et des émissions minimales de gaz.

Title: Method of determining resistivity and/or dielectric values of an earth formation as a function of position within the earth formation
Inventor: HAUGLAND SAMUEL MARK
IPC: G01V3/28
Filed: 2003-02-28
Granted: 2007-02-20
Abstract: A technique of estimating electrical parameters of an earth formation accounts for spatial inhomogeneities and frequency dispersion. The results are achieved using a model which is evaluated to generate predicted values for a plurality of electrical signals measured in a borehole in an earth formation as a function of a first set of model electrical parameters, a second set of model electrical parameters and model spatial coordinates of boundaries between regions of the earth formation. Transformations are applied to the measured electrical signals and the predicted values. The electrical parameters and spatial coordinates are selected to cause approximate agreement between the transformed measurements and the transformed predicted values. In some embodiments, the first set of electrical parameters is a set of conductivity values; the second set of electrical parameters is a set of dielectric constant values; and the spatial coordinates define regions of the earth formation where different values for the conductivity and dielectric constant apply.

Granted: 2004-05-11
Abstract: A fluid power load-clamping system has a clamp actuated by fluid pressure regulated by at least one fluid valve. The valve may increase a maximum fluid pressure automatically in response to a weight of a load.      A controller causes the vale to permit a relatively high maximum fluid pressure as the clamp closes toward the load to enable high initial clamp closure speed.      Thereafter the valve automatically reduces the maximum pressure as clamping surfaces close into a pre-determined relationship with the load, and then increases the maximum pressure to regulate the gripping force.      Gripping pressure may be regulated continuously while the load is supported by the clamp. A weight measurement system may compensate for a position of the lifting mechanism.
