Title: Process for making multiphase polymeric film having a lamellar structure with controlled permeability and/or controlled mechanical properties
Inventor: AIT-KADI ABDELLATIF
IPC: C08L23/10
Filed: 2000-04-28
Abstract: A process for making a multiphase polymeric film having a lamellar structure with controlled permeability and/or controlled mechanical properties, comprising the steps of:   - preparing a molten blend made of a first polymer phase dispersed in a second polymer phase which is a matrix polymer phase incompatible with the said first phase and of a compatibilizer selected from the group consisting of DEM, MAH, DEM-g-SEBS, MAH-g-SEBS, DEM-g-PP and MAH-g-PP;     - extruding the molten blend through a flat die provided with an exit and stretching the so extruded blend downwards said exit at a preselected stretching ratio to produce the said multiphase polymeric film, and - solidifying the extruded film sufficiently rapidly to preserve the lamellar structure and the multiphase polymeric films thereby obtained.     Granules with a lamellar structure are obtained by grinding the so obtained multiphase polymeric film and are useful for preparing shaped articles with improved physical properties.

Title: Method for forming a model of a geological formation, constrained by dynamic and static data
Inventor: GUERILLOT DOMINIQUE
IPC: G01V1/28
Filed: 2000-08-30
Abstract: A structure is chosen a priori, with one physical dimension (k) estimated from the exploration data and a second ( sigma ) estimated from the fluid production data. The model is optimized by iterative application of an inversion of at least one of the physical dimensions, which are related by a combination function. The final model at least satisfies the combination of the two dimensions. The iterative optimization involves a simultaneous iteration of the first and second physical dimensions with optimization of a global cost function J(K,  sigma ) of the two dimensions. The global cost function is the sum of terms measuring the spacing between the points of each model and the data obtained by measurement or observation or the corresponding dimension and the spacing taking into account the combination of the two dimensions. Each model is optimized by minimizing the objective function by determining its exact gradient using the adjoining state method. The production data are measured in the shaft through the underground area and the exploration data are the seismic data captured by seismic receivers in response to waves transmitted through the formation. The first physical dimension is the permeability of the medium and the second is the impedance of the medium relative to the waves.
