Abstract: A furrow closer apparatus for attachment to a shank of a ground working implement, the shank extending rearward and downward from an implement frame member, comprises a bracket adapted for attachment to the shank. The bracket extends down from an upper forward portion of the shank. Spring arms extend from the bracket rearward and downward on each side of and below the shank, and are biased to a neutral position. Soil moving elements are attached to the spring arms near the lower end of the shank. Leading faces of the soil moving elements are oriented at opposed angles to the travel direction such that forward portions thereof are farther apart than rearward portions and such that soil contacted by each face is moved toward the shank rearward of the shank. Rotatable discs with a twine cutter can provide the soil moving elements.

Abstract: The present invention is a method of processing seismic data in which one or more seismic vibrators are activated with one or more pilot signals and vibrator motions are recorded along with seismic data. Vibrator signatures (4) are computed from measured vibrator motions (2), such as the ground force signal. A desired impulse response (5) is specified from either a measured vibrator motion (2) or from test data or field data from a location near the location from which the seismic data was acquired. A deconvolution filter (8) is computed from the impulse response (5) and from the vibrator signatures (4) from multiple vibrators and sweeps (1). The deconvolution or deconvolution and separation filter (8) is used to process the seismic data. The vibrators are then moved to a new location, and the activation is repeated.

Abstract: For determining the behaviour of a flexible system submitted to predetermined displacement boundary conditions, a process uses geometrically non-linear finite element analysis. The process has a plurality of incremental steps within a total Lagrangian formalism with co-rotational update. In each incremental step, one computes for a finite element of the flexible system a displacement vector, having translational and rotational components, at the nodes of the finite element. This computation of the displacement vector is carried out by minimising the energy of the flexible system when the system is submitted to a fraction of the predetermined displacement. For a given finite element, the co-rotational update is carried out by computing an updated elementary frame of reference, without considering the bending rotational components of the displacement vectors computed at the nodes of the finite element. This co-rotational update has the following advantage: in the updated elementary frame of reference, one of the axes is parallel to the line joining the nodes of the finite element. This property is maintained in each incremental step and makes all computations similar, hence simpler and easier.

There is an expansion chamber (16) between the outlet side end of the at least one heat exchanger tube (2) and the separator (2) and the speed of the gas/particle mixture is reduced in this expansion chamber (16). There is at least one inlet channel (20) to introduce the extraneous gas (FG) in the area of the expansion chamber (16). As a result of these measures, the speed of the particles that are being transported by the gas is efficiently reduced before they flow into the suction line (26), so that the particles do not build up in the suction line (26) or in the heat exchanger tubes (2).
