Abstract: In a method and system for measuring wear in the lining of a vessel by a laser contouring system having an electromagnetic radiation emitting and receiving device. The laser contouring system references permanent marks and temporary marks positioned outside, on, or within the vessel. The distances and direction from the electromagnetic radiation emitting and receiving device to the fixed and temporary marks is determined during an initial measurement by the electromagnetic radiation emitting and receiving device from a first scanning position. The electromagnetic radiation emitting and receiving device is then moved along a path from the first scanning position to a second scanning position wherein some of the marks which were scanned from the first scanning position are scanned again to determine the relative position of the vessel and points on the internal lining of the vessel to determine the contour of the lining.

Title: Video encoding method, video encoding apparatus, video encoding program and storage medium of the same
Inventor: SANO TAKASHI
IPC: H04N7/32
Filed: 2008-04-08
Abstract: A motion detection portion of a video encoding apparatus conducts motion detection on each of frame macroblocks and field macroblocks to calculate motion vectors and respective detection cost. A motion vector evaluation value calculation portion calculates an evaluation value of the size of motion vectors. A motion vector threshold determination portion compares the evaluation value of the size of motion vectors to a predetermined threshold to determine whether the target area is a moving area or a still area. If the target area is a moving area, it is determined whether frame or field macroblock mode is to be used by comparing the detection costs. If the target area is a still area, it is determined whether frame or field macroblock mode is to be used in accordance with the size of the sum of absolute values of differences between neighboring pixels in a vertical direction regarding the frame macroblock and field macroblock.

Title: Method and apparatus for "in-situ" conveying of bitumen or very heavy oil
Inventor: DIEHL DIRK
IPC: H05B6/02
Filed: 2009-04-30
Abstract: In order to lower the viscosity of bitumen or very heavy oil in deposits, thermal energy is applied to the deposit, wherein in addition to steam being applied according to the steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) process, inductive and/or resistive heating in particular can also be optionally applied, wherein a high-frequency generator feeds electric power to a linearly extended conductor loop (10, 15, 20) at a predefined depth of the deposit, and an inductive layer of the conductor loop (10, 15, 20) is compensated in some sections or continuously. According to the invention, the bitumen or very heavy oil is liquefied by way of an inductive conductor loop as a heater and is led away using an extraction pipe, wherein the conductor loop and the extraction pipe are disposed relative to one another such that the heating and thus extraction of bitumen or very heavy oil is maximized. To this end, one of the conductors (10, 15) of the conductor loop (10, 15, 20) is disposed substantially vertically above the extraction pipe (102). Models have shown that an extraction system can be exclusively operated using such a device for inductive heating and that steam addition to the reservoir is not necessary.

Abstract: A pile driver is provided for use in deep water with a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) and a working ship for setting piles, pin piles and well conductors in subsea soil and for soil sampling in deep water and can be used for shallow water and land-based applications. A ram mass or hammer is received in an open frame and hydraulically reciprocated while in contact with water. A piston rod received in a piston cylinder is secured at one end to the hammer through a coupling mechanism, and an external source of hydraulic power is used with an on-board hydraulic circuit. Gas is compressed during an up-stroke to store energy, which is released during a down-stroke to push the hammer downwardly. The coupling mechanism provides a connection between the piston rod and the hammer that can move between an essentially rigid lift connection, an essentially rigid downward-push connection and an essentially non-rigid impact connection for preventing buckling of the piston rod when the hammer strikes at its lowermost point. One embodiment of the coupling mechanism includes a hollow body having opposing longitudinal slots, a rod slideably received in the hollow body that is pinned slideably at one end in the opposing slots and pinned fixedly at the other end to the hammer, with a spring in the hollow body providing a bias to push the rod toward the hammer.
