Abstract: An apparatus and method for controlling battery discharging in a portable terminal having a detachable external battery are provided. The method includes determining if the external battery (173) has been connected with the portable terminal when the portable terminal is booted, receiving power from the external battery (173) when the external battery (173) is connected with the portable terminal and receiving power from an embedded battery (171) of the portable terminal when the external battery (173) has been completely discharged. Furthermore, in charging the batteries (171,173), the embedded battery (171) of the portable terminal is first charged when battery charging current is input in a state that the external battery (173) has been connected with the portable terminal, and the external battery (173) is charged when the embedded battery (171) has been completely charged. Power from the external battery (173) is first used when a portable terminal assembled with the external battery (173) is used, and an embedded battery (171) is first charged in charging batteries. Therefore, the embedded battery capacity of the portable terminal can be maintained as much as possible. Furthermore, although the external battery (173) is separated from the portable terminal during battery charging/discharging, the embedded battery capacity can be maintained as much as possible. As a result, even if only the embedded battery (171) is used, a using time of the embedded battery (171) can be increased. Therefore, it is possible to improve the user's convenience.

Abstract: Single-shot methods suitable for determining capillary pressure and relative permeability curves are proposed. For steady-state gas flow, with stationary water or oil remaining in a porous rock core and the outflow boundary condition (capillary pressure is zero) is maintained by washing the outlet face of the core with the stationary phase, the gas pressure distribution, P(x), is determined by SPRITE (Single-Point Ramped Imaging with T 1  Enhancement) MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) spin density imaging of flowing gas, since the spin density of gas is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas phase. Water or oil saturation distribution, S(x), at the present of steady-state flowing gas, is measured with MRI. The combination of P(x) and S(x) yields a capillary pressure curve, P c (S) and relative permeability curve of flowing gas phase, K rg (S) can be determined with differential form of Darcy's law and ideal gas equations for gas flowing at steady-state. Some embodiments include the steps of providing a porous rock core having a length, an inlet face, and an outlet face; saturating the porous rock core with a first fluid; displacing the first fluid by applying a second fluid to the inlet face of the porous rock core; washing the outlet face of the porous rock core with said second fluid so as to maintain an outflow boundary condition; determining that a substantially steady-state condition has been reached whereat the fluid saturation distribution and pressure distribution along the length of the core do not substantially change with time; performing a single-shot measurement of at least one of a fluid saturation distribution measurement of the porous rock core and a pressure distribution measurement of the porous rock core; and determining a property of the porous rock core by using the single-shot measurement.

Abstract: Provided is a smoke detector having a structure in which, at a time of performing smoke detection, an S/N ratio of a signal of a light receiving element is improved, to thereby accurately detect occurrence of fire. At both end portions of an inside of an optical case (21) having a substantially cylindrical shape, a light emitting element (11) and a stray light portion (22) are arranged. In the stray light portion (22), a light trap (23) is provided. Further, in the vicinity of the light emitting element (11), a condenser lens (24) is provided to allow light L to incident on a curved surface of the light trap (23). At the time of smoke detection, light scattered by smoke particles in a smoke detection portion (25) is received by a light receiving element (12). However, the light incident on the light trap (23) is reflected on the curved surface a plurality of times to be attenuated in each reflection, so the light is not received by the light receiving element (12). Accordingly, the S/N ratio of an output signal S obtained from the light receiving element (12) is improved, thereby making it possible to accurately perform the smoke detection at an early stage.

Title: Procédé de biorestauration pour accélérer la dégradation biologique d'hydrocarbures de pétrole dans les régions polaires recouvertes de glace, et mélanges de bactéries et d'enzymes comme moyens pour réaliser ce procédé

Filed: 2008-01-06
Abstract: Dans les régions polaires recouvertes de glace connaissant une exploration accrue et le transport de pétrole brut, le risque de pollution par le pétrole croît en permanence. Jusqu'à présent, aucun procédé de biorestauration n'a été appliqué car cela ne semblait possible qu'au-dessus du point de congélation, les températures régnant dans les régions recouvertes de glace étant inférieures au point de congélation. Une élimination mécanique ou physico-chimique de la pollution est actuellement favorisée, mais elle laisse des pollutions résiduelles et a un effet néfaste sur l'environnement. Selon le procédé de biorestauration de la présente invention, les hydrocarbures de pétrole à éliminer sont mis en contact avec un inoculum qui contient, outre un support respectueux de l'environnement et des substances nutritives, un mélange de bactéries provenant de différentes souches autochtones adaptées au froid, lesquelles sont adaptées à différents lieux d'exploitation et hydrocarbures de pétrole à éliminer, car elles se différencient par leur spectre de dégradation, leur comportement d'émulsion des huiles et leurs plages de tolérances au sel et à la température, restant néanmoins actives à -3°C. Des souches de bactéries adéquates et des enzymes basés sur ces souches peuvent être obtenus par enrichissement en laboratoire et isolation de bactéries en conditions de gel réel à -3°C et contamination par huile. Onze souches de bactéries préférées ont été enregistrées auprès de la société allemande DSMZ.

Abstract: Bei einem Mustererkennungsverfahren zur Früherkennung von infraschallwirksamen Ereignissen werden Periodogramme aus zeitlich hochaufgelösten mittels bodengebundener Messinstrumente standardisiert und kontinuierlich gemessenen Temperaturfluktuationen im Airglow analysiert. Ein aus den Periodogrammen ermittelter, sogenannter spektraler Fingerabdruck wird mit einem in einer Look-Up-Tabelle abgelegten, sogenannten spektralen Fingerabdruck von Periodogrammen aus modellbasierten Infraschallausbreitungssimulationen verglichen. Bei einer signifikanten Ähnlichkeit zwischen Strukturen der Periodogramme aus den Zeitreihen der gemessenen und der simulierten Temperaturfluktuationen wird eine Rückwärtsberechnung der Infraschallausbreitung in der oberen Mesosphäre zum Erdboden mit Hilfe eines Infraschall-Ausbreitungsmodells (Ray-Tracing) durchgeführt. Hierdurch ist dann der Ort einer Infraschallquelle ermittelt. Für ein kritisches, potentiell gefährdetes Gebiet wird fortwährend eine Infraschallausbreitung simuliert und der mittels Spektralanalyseverfahren ermittelte charakteristische, sogenannte spektrale Fingerabdruck wird in der Look-Up-Tabelle abgelet.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur des procédés et des systèmes qui permettent de détecter de façon non intrusive l'existence de matières fissiles dans un contenant, en mesurant les neutrons instantanés énergétiques. Les procédés et systèmes précités exploitent la nature unique du spectre énergétique des neutrons instantanés issus de la photofission produite lors de l'émission de neutrons depuis des fragments presque totalement accélérés afin d'identifier sans ambiguïté une matière fissile. Selon l'invention, on utilise la distribution angulaire des neutrons instantanés issus de la photofission et la distribution d'énergie corrélée à l'angle des neutrons par rapport au faisceau de photons pour distinguer les noyaux impairs-pairs des noyaux pairs-pairs subissant la photofission. On utilise également le caractère indépendant de la courbe représentant le nombre de neutrons émis (nombre de neutrons en fonction de l'énergie du faisceau d'électrons ou de l'énergie des photons) par rapport à l'énergie des neutrons pour distinguer la photoémission d'autres processus tels que les processus (γ, n). On utilise différentes géométries de faisceau pour détecter des échantillons localisés de matière fissile et également des matières fissibles dispersées sous la forme de petits fragments ou de feuilles minces sur de vastes régions. Les signaux émis par la photofission sont uniques et permettent de détecter n'importe quelle matière dans la région des actinides de la table périodique nucléaire.
