Patent EP-0829734-A3 (EP)
Inventor: KROEMER NILS
IPC: G01P5/00
Filed: 1997-08-20
Abstract: The method measures the timing difference of signals between two convertors (4,5). The convertors (4,5) are arranged spaced apart from each other and are alternately operated as transmitter (4) or receiver (5). The signal (10) emitted from the transmitter (4) reaches the receiver as wave groups which increase and then decrease over several oscillations. A first comparator (14) compares the received signal with a first threshold voltage. A second comparator (15) compares the received signal with a second threshold voltage close to its constant component. A transmission time measurement is stopped when the second comparator is switched after a switching of the first comparator and the difference between two measurements is calculated. The first threshold voltage is set to at least a test value above and/or below a predetermined value (S). The timing difference measured with the test value is compared directly or indirectly with the difference measured with the predetermined value (S). The latter is held for the first threshold when with the test value almost the same difference is measured. A new value (S) is provided when the measured differences are different for the period of at least one cycle.

Abstract: A gas-liquid dispersion device to be installed in a system
in which a liquid flows forming a continuous phase and a gas
flows upward comprises a perforated plate which is so mounted
as to interrupt a gas-liquid passage, in which a mixed phase
of the gas and liquid is produced. A separated liquid-conducting
channel extending from the perforated plate toward
its gas inflow opening side is formed in such a way that a
gas-liquid passage is divided into a liquid-conducting portion
and a gas-dispersing portion. When the mixed phase of the gas
and liquid is supplied to the gas-liquid dispersion device,
a gas phase accumulates on the gas inflow opening side of the
gas-liquid dispersion device and creates a gas pocket, whereby
pulsation of gas and liquid flows can be prevented. As a result,
the gas passes upward through individual through holes
(excluding the liquid-conducting channel) made in the
perforated plate while the liquid passes through the
liquid-conducting channel in a stable manner.

Abstract: A fluid loss device (100) has a housing (200), a seal assembly (300),
a running tool (400), and a plug (500). The housing of the fluid loss device is
placed in a production string before a well bore is completed. The plug (500) is
attached to the running tool (400), and the running tool is attached to a wash
pipe (90). 
     The fluid loss device is activated by lifting the wash pipe (90) and
the running tool (400), thereby engaging the plug (500) with the seal assembly
(300), engaging the seal assembly (300) with the housing (200), and severing the
plug (500) from the running tool (400). Activation of the fluid loss device (100)
inhibits fluid communication through the fluid loss device (100) and reduces
damage to the well structure behind the fluid loss device while completion
operations are performed in other areas of the well bore. 
     The fluid loss device (100) is deactivated by forcing the plug (500)
through the fluid loss device (100) with mechanical force or pressure, or by
chemically eroding the diameter of the plug (500) until the plug (500) passes
through the fluid loss device (100).

Abstract: A client (1) is coupled to a modem pool (2) and a server (4) by a communication
link in a wide area network. The client allows a user to browse the World
Wide Web in response to user inputs entered entirely from a remote control
device using a television set as a display device. The communication link to
the client is shared by a telephone circuit at the client end of the link. A
disruption in communication with the server may occur due to a Call Waiting
signal caused by an incoming telephone call. The incoming call includes
Caller ID information. In response to such a disruption, communication with
the server is terminated. After pausing for a predetermined period of time,
the client automatically re-establishes communication with the server if the
line is clear. Upon reconnecting to the server, the client accesses a "White
Pages" telephone directory Web site on a remote server. Using the number
provided in the Caller ID information, the client looks up the name of the
caller from the directory and stores the number and the corresponding name.
Each time an incoming call is subsequently received from that number, the
client displays the name of the calling party to the user as the call is received.

Abstract: A shape adaptive wavelet transform is performed on a digitized image signal
representing an image. First, a shape information is obtained about the image, and the
shape information is applied to a shape adaptive wavelet filter. The shape adaptive
wavelet filter detects a starting point and an ending point of the image. The digitized
image signal is divided into low-frequency component and high-frequency component.
Then the each frequency component is sampled, using the shape information. The
shape adaptive wavelet filter then generates converted shape information indicating
the shape for each sampled frequency component.

Abstract: The invention relates to a photocatalytic glass pane
including a glass substrate and at least one layer formed on at
least one major surface of the glass substrate. The at least one
layer has an outermost layer made of a photocatalytic titanium
oxide. The outermost layer is prepared by a chemical vapor
deposition. The titanium oxide is such that an X-ray
diffraction chart of the titanium oxide has at least a first peak
when a spacing between adjacent crystallographic planes of the
titanium oxide is 3.5 angstroms and a second peak when a
spacing between adjacent crystallographic planes of the
titanium oxide is 1.9 angstroms and that the second peak has a
height that is at least one-tenth of a height of the first peak.
The glass pane is high in photocatalytic activity. The
invention further relates to a method for producing the
photocatalytic glass pane. This method has the sequential
steps of (a) providing a gas mixture comprising a vapor of an
organic titanium compound usually an alkoxide and an oxygen gas; and (b) bringing
the gas mixture into contact with the glass substrate that is
under a heated condition, thereby to form the outermost layer
on the glass substrate. The glass pane can easily be produced
by the method with high efficiency and low cost.
The invention also relates to multiple layer systems including the above
photocatalytic titanium oxide (usually anatase) coating and an interlayer.
The further interlayer coatings being other oxides or possibly silicon
oxy carbide with refractive indices ranging either from 1.55 to 2.0 or
2.6 to 2.9. These are generally also prepared by vapour deposition
usually from the acetylacetonate. The invention also relates to
nonfogging mirrors, whereby the other major surface of the pane is
coated with a reflective metal layer.

Abstract: The present invention includes a cost efficient
method of substantially increasing the data bandwidth of
a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) device initially
configured to operate in an extended data output (EDO)
mode, the EDO DRAM device including at least one storage
cell, a column decoder, an internal read/write data bus
and an off chip driver latch, the column decoder decoding
a column address upon receipt thereof such that data
stored in the at least one storage cell corresponding to
the decoded column addresses is placed on the internal
read/write data bus in response to the receipt of an
address transition detection (ATD) pulse generated by the
dynamic memory device and further wherein output data is
stored in the off chip driver latch in response to a
transfer pulse. The method includes the steps of
temporarily suppressing the generation of the ATD pulse
such that data selected from the at least one storage
cell is not placed on internal read/write data bus until
after a delayed generation of the ATD pulse in response
to the falling edge of a column address strobe (CAS)
signal, such that a first pipeline stage is thereby
substantially defined. The method further includes
generating the transfer pulse in response to the next
falling edge of the CAS signal in order to store data
present on the internal read/write data bus in the off 
chip driver latch, such that a second pipeline stage is
thereby substantially defined. In this manner, pipelined
nibble mode operation is substantially realized in the
EDO DRAM device.
