Abstract: A device (10) which employs an acoustic signal having one or more frequencies for penetrating into ground, water, or sediments and vibrating a compliant buried object (8) is provided. When these acoustic signals encounter an acoustically compliant object (8) such as a mine, the acoustic signals vibrate the compliant object (8), leading to a vibration of the compliant object (8) against the boundaries of the surrounding medium such as ground sediment, creating a nonlinear distortion of the probing signal including the generation of harmonics and acoustic waves with combination frequencies (nonlinear signals). These nonlinear vibrating signals are received from the surface by a sensor (20). The amplitude of the measured nonlinear signals indicates the presence of an acoustically compliant object (8) such as a mine. The present invention also relates to a method and apparatus which emits an electromagnetic RF probing signal and acoustic or vibration signal (modulating signal), detects the reflected electromagnetic signal from the buried object (8), and processes the received signal, identifying the modulation caused by vibration.

Abstract: A ceramic honeycomb structure has an open frontal area of 50% to 85%, a porosity of 0.1% to 10%, and a proportion of the volume of pores of 1 µm or larger in diameter, in total pore volume, of 20% or more; a regenerative thermal oxidizer using the ceramic honeycomb structure. The ceramic honeycomb structure has a small porosity and, therefore, has a sufficient heat accumulation capacity and hardly causes floating by gas pressure; has controlled pore diameters and, therefore, hardly shows adsorption of VOC or the like, or rupture; and has controlled contraction and, therefore, has a large GSA.

Abstract: A steering system for a towed implement includes a first double-acting hydraulic actuator that is coupled between the towing vehicle and the towed implement such as that turning the towing vehicle relative to the towed implement results in fluid being forced out of the first actuator and into a second double-acting hydraulic actuator that is coupled for effecting steering of a steerable wheel of the towed implement. The piston rod of the second actuator is coupled to the piston rod of a third double-acting hydraulic actuator forming part of a control for steering the towed implement wheel independently of the turning action of the towing vehicle in order to straighten the steered wheel so that the implement may be moved backwards with out any problems. In one embodiment, the towed implement frame is made so as to be extensible and retractable in the fore-and-aft direction. The control when used with this implement aids in orienting the steered wheel, which is mounted to the movable section of the implement frame, so as to permit the movable section to move backwards either when the frame of the implement is being extended or when the entire implement frame is being moved backwards.

Abstract: LASER-CSS provides a method to improve cyclic steam-based thermal recovery methods for heavy oils and bitumen. A key improvement over prior art consists of mixing liquid hydrocarbons into the injected steam instead of injecting such hydrocarbon as a separate slug in front of a steam stimulation cycle. The objective of the invention is to enhance field applications of Cyclic Steam Stimulation (CSS) by contacting and mobilizing more of the bitumen with the same amount of steam.  This is to help increase the recovery efficiency and ultimate recovery normally achieved with conventional CSS-type process operations. The proposed LASER-CSS method utilizes existing CSS wells at some intermediate stage of reservoir depletion.  Liquid hydrocarbons are directly mixed and flashed into the injected steam lines, injected into the CSS wellbores and further transported as vapors to contact heavy oil or bitumen surrounding steamed areas between adjacent wells. For the most part injected hydrocarbons are reproduced dissolved within the produced bitumen phase. The optimum loading of hydrocarbons injected with steam will be chosen to maximize pressure drawdown and fluid removal of the reservoir using conventional CSS artificial lift equipment already in place.

Title: Fuel cell separator, manufacturing method thereof and fuel cell
Inventor: YOKOI MASAYOSHI
IPC: H01M2/14
Filed: 2001-04-17
Granted: 2008-12-30
Abstract: A separator is provided with a substrate portion having a predetermined concave-convex shape, an underlying coating layer formed on the substrate portion, a first coating layer coating the substrate portion and the underlying coating layer, and a second coating layer formed thereon. The second coating layer, which is formed from carbon materials, is sufficiently electrically conductive and protects the underlying layers. The first coating layer is formed from a low-melting-point metal subjected to a melting process. The melting process is a process of first conducting heating at such a temperature that melts the low-melting-point metal but does not melt the substrate portion and the underlying coating layer and then conducting cooling. Thus, in the first coating layer, the crystal grain size of the metal is increased and thus the grain boundary density is reduced.

Abstract: Disclosed are topical compositions which comprise from about 0.01 % to about 60 % by weight of an antiperspirant and/or deodorant active; from about 1 % to about 60 % by weight of a volatile, nonpolar hydrocarbon liquid having a solubility parameter of less than about 7.5 (cal/cm3)0.5 and a vapor pressure as measured at 25 ~C of from about 0.01 mmHg to about 6.0 mmHg; and from about 1 % to about 60 % by weight of a skin irritation-mitigating material having a vapor pressure equal to or less than that of the volatile, nonpolar hydrocarbon liquid, preferably a silicone-containing liquid; wherein the weight ratio of the volatile, nonpolar hydrocarbon liquid to the mitigating material is from about 5:1 to about 1:50. It has been found that the volatile, nonpolar hydrocarbon liquid as defined herein can cause skin irritation when used in an antiperspirant or deodorant composition, when used at relatively low concentrations, but that the skin irritation can be reduced or eliminated by the addition of a skin irritation-mitigating material, provided the material has the requisite vapor pressure and weight ratio relative to the volatile, nonpolar hydrocarbon liquid.

Abstract: There is provided a cable which retards lightning. The cable includes at least one internal conductor which may be a power conductor or a signal conductor. A choke conductor is wound about the internal conductor in the shape of a spiral. If lightning strikes near the cable or a device which is attached to the cable, such as an antenna, the choke conductor presents a high impedance to the current caused by lightning and will prevent the lightining current from flowing down the choke conductor, thus entering the internal conductor, thereby preventing damage to the internal conductor and any associated electronic equipment. Preferably, a shield is also spiraled wound about the internal conductor adjacent to the choke conductor in a direction opposite to the choke conductor, whereby the angle formed by the crossing of the choke conductor and the shield is approximately 90° to block the magnetic field component of the lightning discharge.

Title: Ingress/egress control system for airport concourses and other access controlled areas
Inventor: BRUNETTI SAM

Filed: 2000-11-10
Granted: 2010-09-14
Abstract: An ingress/egress control system (10) controls passenger (P) flow into and out of an airport concourse. Enplaning passengers pass through an entrance portal (18) on their way to an airplane gate. A security screen (22) screens each person passing through the portal for the presence of prohibited items and identifies any person suspected of carrying such an item. A secondary portal (50) is located downstream of the first portal. A visual display system (52) responds to an indication from the security screening to route a suspected person from the first portal to the secondary portal, for further screening to determine if the person is carrying a prohibited item, while providing a different display to passengers passing the security screen so they can enter the concourse. A  separate, exit portal (64) is provided for deplaning passengers exiting the concourse. Multiple detectors (42a'-42b', 82, 88) continuously monitor this portal so people cannot inadvertently or intentionally intrude into the exit path. Audio and visual alarms (79, 92) are activated when someone attempts to enter the concourse through the exit portal to both warn the person away and to alert security personnel of a possible intruder. An imaging system (VM) is used to obtain and store a video of image of the intruder.
