Title: A process for the synthetic generation of methane
Inventor: SEEMANN MARTIN
IPC: C07C1/10
Filed: 2005-01-24
Granted: 2010-08-10
Abstract: The present invention discloses a process for the synthetic generation of methane from a feed gas mixture comprising carbon monoxide, hydrogen and water vapour and optionally aromatic hydrocarbons; said process comprising the steps of: a) bringing the feed gas mixture in contact with a fluidized bed catalyst having catalyst particles which comprise as catalytic active component a metal and/or a metal compound or a mixture thereof under the circumstances of: b) an elevated temperature in the range of 250 to 500~C; c) a feed gas pressure in the range of 0.8 to 70 bar; d) a gas hourly space velocity of 1000 to 50000 h-1; and e) a concentration of H2/CO in the initial gas mixture in the range of 0.25 to 5. The afore-mentioned process allows to catalytically convert hydrogen and carbon monoxide effectively in a fluidized bed catalytic reactor which avoids a rapid deactivation of the catalyst material and therefore delivers a high activity of the catalytic active components in the process. Both thermochemical reactions, the endothermic reformation of higher hydrocarbons, i.e. aromatic hydrocarbons, and the exothermic methane generation, proceed simultaneously within the fluidized be catalytic reactor, leading to an overall enhanced thermal efficiency of the conversion process.

Title: System and method for measuring flake thickness
Inventor: VEMUGANTI GANGADHAR RAO
IPC: G01B5/06
Filed: 2006-09-12
Granted: 2009-12-15
Abstract: An automated system for accurately measuring the thickness of a sample quantity of small items such as oat flakes. The system picks individual oat flakes from a hopper using a vacuum and passes them between two precision rollers. One roller is fixed and has vacuum ports to pick up the flake from the hopper. The second roller is floating. As the flake passes between the rollers, the flake is flattened and the second roller is deflected by an amount equal to the thickness of the flake. A vision system comprising a video camera, a light source and a computer measures the deflection of the floating roller. The vision system obtains an image of the curvature of the floating roller at the point opposite the pinch point of the two rollers. Data from the measurement may be recorded on the computer and processed as desired.

Title: A method and apparatus for downhole detection of co2 and h2s using resonators coated with co2 and h2s sorbents
Inventor: DIFOGGIO ROCCO
IPC: E21B43/24
Filed: 2005-08-10
Granted: 2012-04-24
Abstract: A formation fluid sample is exposed to a rigidly-supported semi-permeable membrane such as silicone rubber to permit diffusion of gases and vapors from the formation fluid into a vacuum chamber, while at the same time, blocking the passage of any liquids. The membrane-transmitted gas is analyzed in the vacuum chamber by a resonator that reacts with it. The resulting change in resonant frequency of the resonator indicates the presence of a gas that reacts with it. An ion pump or sorbent is associated with the evacuated chamber to maintain the vacuum. The ion pump or sorbent removes gases and vapors from the low-pressure chamber, which have diffused into it from the reservoir sample that is on the opposite (high-pressure) side of the semi-permeable membrane.

Abstract: An injection device (110) is provided which includes a syringe (122) having a discharge nozzle (118). The syringe is movable between a retracted position in which the discharge nozzle is contained within the housing and an extended position in which the discharge nozzle extends from the housing. A trigger (114) is activatable to allow the contents of the syringe to be discharged through the discharge nozzle. There is also a releasable locking mechanism (116) which, when engaged, prevents the trigger from moving into an active position. The trigger includes a first portion (150) having a cut-out (152) which extends from a first end of the trigger in a direction substantially parallel to the first axis (101). The releasable locking mechanism includes a protrusion (154) along a second axis (181) for communicating with the first portion of the trigger when the releasable locking mechanism is engaged and for communicating with the cut-out when the releasable locking mechanism is disengaged. Such an injection device provides improved protection against accidental activation of the trigger.

Abstract: Additional data compression is achieved by enhancing the spatial and temporal correlation of the data in a pre-processing module prior to sending the data to an encoding algorithm, such as for example, the MPEG algorithm. An input frame of data is decomposed into a luminance frame and two chrominance frames.  The luminance frame is transformed on the basis of each of a plurality of luminance pixels within the frame to produce a transformed luminance frame having a plurality of transformed luminance pixels. A map describing a relationship between the plurality of luminance pixels of the luminance frame and the plurality of transformed luminance pixels of the transformed luminance frame is created. The two chrominance frames are transformed according to the map to produce two transformed chrominance frames. The transformed luminance frame and the two transformed chrominance frames are integrated to produce a transformed output frame.
