Patent CA-2638780-C (CA)
Inventor: SAWAI HIDEKI
IPC: C12P13/08
Filed: 2007-02-16
Granted: 2017-11-21
Abstract: The invention provides a method of producing a chemical product through continuous fermentation which includes filtering a culture of a microorganism or cultured cells with a separation membrane to recover a product from a filtrate and simultaneously retaining a nonfiltered fluid in, or refluxing it to, the culture, and adding fermentation materials to the culture, wherein a porous membrane having an average pore size of 0.01 µm or more to less than 1 µm is used as the separation membrane and the filtration is conducted with a transmembrane pressure difference in the range of 0.1 to 20 kPa. According to this method, the fermentation productivity of the chemical product can be largely elevated at high stability and a low cost.

Abstract: To provide an article support structure used when attaching an article to an adherend with a stretch- releas'able adhesive tape in which components and the like do not fly off when releasing the adhesive tape from the adherend, the double -sided adhesive tape does not tear, and damage to high- sensitivity adherends can be effectively suppressed. An article support structure comprises a base plate which can be removably attached to an article, and a double -sided adhesive tape intervening between the base plate and an adherend, and having a stre tenable base material and an adhesive layer. The base plate has a project ion- shaped gripping member, and at least one pair of spacer members disposed on both sides thereof which can form a gap between the surface of the adherend and the bottom surface of the base plate, and is configured so that the position of the gripping member and the position of the spacer members at least partly overlap in the length direction of the "double-sided adhesive tape.

Title: Image signal processing apparatus and virtual reality creating system
Inventor: YAMAMOTO ATSUYUKI
IPC: G03B21/00
Filed: 2007-02-20
Granted: 2014-08-26
Abstract: A virtual reality creating system including: a screen 1 including a projection plane of arbitrary shape; a distortion correction unit 3 which performs distortion correction for projecting image light onto the projection plane of arbitrary shape for a two-dimensional image signal to project image light onto a two-dimensional projection plane and then outputs the same; a parameter adjusting PC 5 which creates a distortion correction table as a correspondence map between the two-dimensional projection plane and a mesh model of the projection plane of arbitrary shape; and projectors 2a and 2b unit which project an image based on the image signal outputted from the image signal processing apparatus onto the screen. The distortion correction unit 3 receives the distortion correction table from the parameter adjusting PC 5 and performs distortion correction processing for each pixel of the two-dimensional image signal received by the image signal input unit with reference to the distortion correction table to generate the image signal to project the image light onto the projection plane of arbitrary shape. It is therefore possible to display images with reduced distortion of image light viewed by a viewer with a simple structure in real time.

Title: Standoff correction for lwd density measurement
Inventor: DESPORT OLIVIER
IPC: G01V5/04
Filed: 2007-06-19
Granted: 2014-09-02
Abstract: A method for conducting density measurements in downhole environments corrects for high standoff, by adding a second correction term to the spine and rib method. This second term is a correction based on an apparent standoff estimated using the photo electric effect of the mud. This correction is term depends on the mud properties, both in terms of apparent standoff and correction and therefore requires property calibration for each well. The calibration can be done using the azimuthal information available with LWD tool when the tool is turning. At each depth in homogeneous formation, there can be a succession of density measurements with various tool standoff when the tool is not centered in the borehole. AU this information is used to build up a standoff correction fitting perfectly the mud properties.
