IPC: G01V1/36

Abstract: A method of attenuating noise in three dimensional seismic data using a projection algorithm is disclosed. A frequency-space-space ("f-xy") projection algorithm is used which is a generalization of the f-x projection algorithm. The predictability of the seismic signals in the f-xy domain constitutes the basis of the algorithm. Specifically it is demonstrated that if the seismic events are planar in the t-xy domain, then in the f-xy domain they consist of predictable signals in the xy-plane for each frequency f. A crucial step of the 2-D spectral factorization is achieved through the helical coordinate transformation.  In addition to the disclosed general algorithm for arbitrary coherent noise, a specialized algorithm for random noise is disclosed. It has been found that the disclosed projection algorithm is effective even in extreme cases of poor signal to noise ratio. The algorithm is also signal preserving when the predictability assumptions hold.

Filed: 1999-05-05
Abstract: A machine for drilling oil-holes in crankshafts and the corresponding procedure. It can be used to drill one, two or more crankshafts per cycle. Each crankshaft can revolve on its own axis. The unit described is mounted on a horizontally-faced rotary table with vertical rotating axis, to place the crankshafts at different angles to the Z axis of the machining module, maintaining the horizontal position of the longitudinal axes of the crankshafts. Facing the unit is the machining module, provided with two horizontal spindles, drill tool-holders, with their corresponding guide bushings and parallel to each other, one on top of the other, at the same distance as the two crankshafts. The module has movement in three co-ordinates: axis X (horizontal-transverse), Y (vertical ) and Z (horizontal-presenting tools). A fourth axis W, (with additional module and independent action), moves parallel to Z and carries the guide bushings. It is provided with an automatic changeover, (tool+bushing or just the bushing), incorporating simultaneously the pair of spindles.

Patent CA-2373723-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WEGELE GEORGE VINCENT
IPC: A47K7/00
Filed: 2000-05-19
Abstract: A wipe product comprises a substrate and functional additive, preferably a high internal phase inverse emulsion, disposed in a discontinuous pattern on the substrate such that the pattern provides areas coated with the emulsion and areas free of the emulsion. When the product is wound into a roll, any two adjacent layers in the roll have their areas coated with functional additive offset relative to each other. This improves water-retaining characteristics and roll compressibility characteristics of the product. Preferably, the functional additive of one layer is supported by the areas free of the functional additive of the adjacent layer. During the use, upon the application of pressure to the wipe, the emulsion locally expresses water useful for cleaning. The discontinuous pattern of the emulsion provides regions of the substrate which are wetted during use and regions which may remain dry. The wetted regions transfer water to the surface to be cleaned. The dry regions then remove the water from the surface for more efficacious cleaning.

A cet effet, on commence par malaxer et plastifier un lot de poudre inorganique formant la cordiérite et comprenant un talc lamellaire d'un calibre particulaire moyen inférieur à environ 2µm, et de préférence un indice morphologique du talc supérieur à environ 0,75. Le lot comprend en outre pour au moins 4% de la masse de poudre inorganique un mélange fait, d'une part d'une source de formation d'AL¿2?O¿3? dont l'aire de surface spécifique dépasse les 50m?2¿/g, et d'autre part l'un au moins des composants tels que notamment le kaolin, le kaolin calciné, la silice, et le corindon, dont les calibres particulaires moyens sont inférieurs à 5µm. Le lot de poudre plastifiée ainsi obtenu est ensuite extrudé en nid d'abeille vert par une filière d'extrusion de nid d'abeille, puis le nid d'abeille vert est calciné à une température et pour une durée suffisante à la conversion du nid d'abeille vert en un article de céramique de cordiérite cristallisée présentant les propriétés mentionnées.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé pour l'enlèvement de la peau de corps d'animaux, de préférence, de corps de volailles, ainsi qu'un dispositif pour la mise en oeuvre de ce procédé. Des dispositifs connus comprennent des rouleaux d'enlèvement de la peau, conçus de manière à permettre un réglage en hauteur par l'intermédiaire d'une came de commande. Ces dispositifs présentent toutefois l'inconvénient de ne pas permettre un positionnement exact des rouleaux sur des corps d'animaux de formes diverses, en particulier sur des corps présentant des courbes. L'invention a pour but de fournir un dispositif et un procédé garantissant un positionnement optimal permettant un enlèvement de la peau sans dommage. Ce but est atteint grâce au fait que le dispositif selon l'invention présente des rouleaux d'enlèvement de la peau ayant deux degrés de liberté, ce qui permet d'obtenir un positionnement optimal de ces rouleaux, indépendamment de la grosseur du corps des animaux.
