Title: Procede et appareillage pour communiquer a distance en utilisant l'interpretation de signaux de thermoluminescence ou de photoluminescence
Inventor: DESBRANDES ROBERT
IPC: H04B10/90
Filed: 2007-03-26
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé pour communiquer à distance en utilisant l'interprétation de signaux de thermoluminescence ou de photoluminescence. I l est fait usage d'une propriété de la photoluminescence ou de la thermolumi nescence lorsqu'elle est causée par des électrons piégés intriqués. Dans ce cas, la stimulation de désexcitation des pièges par la chaleur ou le rayonne ment se produit lorsque l'énergie thermique de désexcitation est approximati vement égale l'énergie de vidage des pièges. La stimulation par montée en te mpérature d'un échantillon « maître » provoque une luminescence d'un échanti llon « esclave » distant qui se reproduit à la descente en température du « maître » quelle que soit la distance et les milieux séparant les échantillon s « maître » et « esclave ». Cet enseignement et sa généralisation à d'autre s formes de stimulation, est utilisée par le procédé d'interprétation des me sures de réception quantique afin de déterminer par une méthode de corrélati on la transmission d'informations ou de commandes. Ce procédé est particuliè rement adapté pour mettre en oeuvre des communications avec des sous-marins, dans des galeries de mines, ou avec des sondes spatiales.

Title: Piston pump for a sprayer
Inventor: FONTAINE JAMES R
IPC: B05B9/04
Filed: 2009-07-02
Abstract: A piston pump for a backpack sprayer, which operates reliably without damage due to scoring of the wall of the piston cylinder by powders such as wetable solids, which tend to be abrasive and score or scratch the piston cylinder wall which is of plastic material. The pump has a plastic piston cylinder. A liner provided by a sleeve of metal which is not subject to scratching and is of sufficient thickness to maintain a cylindrical shape of the piston wall. The seal of the piston rides on the piston wall liner as the piston reciprocates in pumping the spraying liquid and particles suspended therein from a tank into a pressure chamber in the tank, from which pressure chamber the spraying liquid is extracted for spraying via a hose and a spraying nozzle. The sleeve is molded upon injection of the plastic providing the piston cylinder pump by being mounted on a core having a step which partially overlaps an edge of the sleeve. Upon injection of the plastic and cooling thereof in the mold, the sleeve is captured and held against axial movement in the cylinder by a step in the plastic which partially overlaps the end of the sleeve.  Preferably the sleeve is metal which is harder than the particles of the spraying liquid, and may suitably be of stainless steel.

Inventor: CONQUERGOOD STEVE
IPC: F15B19/00
Filed: 2009-11-27
Abstract: The invention relates to assembling sucker rods and tubulars of oilwells and other wells; and more particularly, to methods for modifying the time delay of a stop signal for a set of tongs during a make-up process. The controller of a tongs control system issues a stop command to the system at a slightly earlier time than desired to account for a delay in system response. The time delay is modified by accepting an expected delay time for transmitting the stop signal and receiving at least one hydraulic oil temperature and at least one ambient air temperature data points. A time compensation value is determined based upon these data points. The processor modifies the expected delay time by the time compensation value to generate an adjusted expected time delay. The processor transmits the stop signal based upon the adjusted expected delay to a spool valve for the set of tongs.

Abstract: A coupling for securing pipe elements together in end-to-end relation is disclosed. The coupling has segments joined end-to-end by adjustable connection members. The segments surround a central space which receives the pipe elements. One or more gripping bodies are captured between the segments. The gripping bodies are arranged opposite to each other. The segments have angularly oriented reaction surfaces on the connection members. The gripping bodies have angularly oriented contact surfaces which interface with the reaction surfaces.  When the segments are drawn toward each other by the connection members, interaction between the reaction surfaces and the contact surfaces forces the gripping bodies radially inwardly. Inwardly facing arcuate surfaces on the segments and the gripping bodies engage and retain the pipe elements.

Inventor: LATIMER EDWARD G
IPC: B01D53/62
Filed: 2010-02-10
Abstract: Methods and apparatus relate to both generating steam for injection into a wellbore and capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) produced when generating the steam. A direct steam generator (DSG) makes the steam by contacting water with a combustion area for hydrogen and oxygen.  Quantity of the steam made exceeds quantity of water input into the steam generator since the steam includes vaporized water resulting from combustion of the hydrogen and oxygen mixed with the water inputted and heated. Steam-methane-reforming or autothermal-reforming produces the hydrogen stripped of the CO2 prior to introduction into the steam generator.  Further, an air separation unit supplies the oxygen to the steam generator.

Abstract: This Invention relates to methods and systems particularly useful in electrical products used to monitor and detect very weak signals. More specifically, this Invention provide a signal conditioning technique that attenuates electrical noise generated within the product while preserving the integrity of the input signal. This provides a high signal-to-noise ratio within the product electronics and a dramatically clear final image. This Invention includes a method and system for chopping or splitting an input signal into two components, tagging each of the split signal components with opposite polarities, and a second reverse chopping step that combines the split and tagged input signal components into a restored input signal. The combining step, in addition to restoring the original input signal, cancels and attenuates internally generated, and untagged, electronic noise, providing image quality and detection in an efficient and economical manner that could not be obtained in the past.
