Title: Method and apparatus for controlling the effect of contact impedence on a galvanic tool in a logging-while-drilling application
Inventor: FREY MARK T
IPC: G01V3/20
Filed: 1999-06-02
Abstract: The present invention describes a method and apparatus to control the effect of contact impedance on a formation resistivity measurement during a logging-while-drilling operation. The control of contact impedance is accomplished by maintaining a substantially zero difference in potential between two monitor electrodes positioned on the resistivity logging tool near a current electrode. The tool can employ a ring electrode configuration and/or a button electrode configuration. The ring electrode configuration incorporates two pairs of ring monitor electrodes on each side of a ring current electrode. The button electrode configuration incorporates a monitor electrode, surrounded by a current electrode, surrounded by a second monitor electrode. Insulation gaps are positioned between each electrode to separate the electrodes. A variable current is supplied to the current electrode in each configuration to maintain the same potential at each monitor electrode.  The effect of contact impedance is controlled through maintaining the same potential at each monitor electrode.

Title: Hydrocarbon partial oxidation process
Inventor: MACLEAN DONALD L
IPC: C07C45/34
Filed: 1999-09-22
Abstract: Partial oxidation of hydrocarbons to produce hydrogen and carbon monoxide is carried out by a cyclical process which includes passing air through a perovskite ceramic substance at elevated temperature, thereby adsorbing oxygen from the air, and subsequently contacting the hot oxygen-containing ceramic substance with a hydrocarbon. During the partial oxidation reaction phase of the process, the sorbed oxygen reacts with the hydrocarbon, thereby producing the desired gas products and regenerating the adsorbent for the next cycle of the process.

Abstract: Le DOG-MATE est un appareil qui a pour objet de faciliter le ramassage hygiénique des excréments d'animaux domestiques. Une poignée fixée à la partie supérieure de l'appareil permet à l'utilisateur d'avoir une emprise solide sur l'appareil. Un bouton sphérique coulissant dans une rainure située sur le côté du corps du boîtier de l'appareil permet de sortir et de rétracter une main mécanique située à l'extrémité inférieure de l'appareil. Cette main est composée de quatre doigts métalliques sur lesquelles sont fixés des crochets destinés à retenir un sac de matière plastique spécialement dessiné . Ces quatre doigts, en s'écartant les uns des autres grâce à l'élasticité d'une rondelle de gomme de caoutchouc pure, libèrent un espace dans lequel se glisse le sac de matière plastique spécialement dessiné. Une fois le sac fixé en place, l'utilisateur n'a plus qu'à rétracter la main mécanique à l'intérieur du boîtier en faisant coulisser le bouton dans sa position originale. Le ramassage des matières fécales s'effectue rapidement et proprement, celles-ci étant contenues dans le sac de matière plastique spécialement dessiné. Une fois le ramassage effectué, le sac est scellé de façon hermétique par les extrémités des doigts de la main mécanique, qui se rejoignent pour former un cercle fermé. L'utilisateur n'a plus qu'à saisir proprement l'extérieur du sac utilisé pour le retirer, y faire un noeud pour le jeter et le remplacer par un nouveau.

Inventor: LIPMAN ROGER DAVID ARNOLD
IPC: A61L28/00
Filed: 1998-07-14
Abstract: Cette matière adhésive autocollante est faite d'un mélange élastique comprenant, d'une part, une phase dispersante formée d'un caoutchouc solide physiquement réticulé, par exemple un copolymère séquencé styrène-oléfine-styrène, un copolymère séquence de styrène-isoprène-styrène notamment, et un caoutchouc liquide compatible et, d'autre part, une phase dispersée essentiellement constituée de "polymères gonflables" agissant en tant qu'agents d'absorption absorbants susceptibles de se gonfler au contact de l'eau. Elle peut également renfermer des produits d'addition tels que des polybutylènes, un polyisobutylène, de l'huile minérale, des agents de stabilisation et d'autres caoutchoucs. Il est possible d'ajouter des polymères hydrosolubles aux agents d'absorption gonflables afin de constituer une partie de la phase dispersée. L'avantage que présentent ces adhésifs autocollants en comparaison de ceux relevant des techniques précédentes réside dans le fait que l'on n'est plus obligé d'utiliser des matériaux connus pour irriter la peau et les muqueuses. Les compositions relevant de techniques précédentes devaient comporter des quantités notables de résines collantes, sources de problèmes, notamment en matière de pansements. Les compositions préférées de l'invention ne comportent pas de résine ou bien en quantités minimes n'excédant pas 15 % en pourcentage pondéral, pas plus de 5 %, de préférence. Il est possible d'associer à la couche adhésive une couche non adhésive, un film imperméable à l'eau et d'utiliser celle-ci pour le traitement de plaies, de stomies ainsi qu'à d'autres fins médicales.

Title: Process and apparatus for forming a consolidated strand of glass fibers
Inventor: KLAUS MICHAELA
IPC: C03B37/03
Filed: 2000-04-26
Abstract: In a process for the manufacture of a strand of glass fibers, glass filaments are withdrawn from a source with the aid of a rotating pulling surface. The glass filaments are caused to dwell on the pulling surface adjacent and parallel to one another. After an angle of rotation around the pulling surface, the glass filaments are lifted from the pulling surface and the glass filaments are turned at a turn-around in a direction away from the pulling surface. The glass filaments are cushioned as they are turned in the direction away from the pulling surface with an air cushion. After lifting the glass filaments, the glass filaments are consolidated in a direction transverse to a direction of rotation of the pulling surface and the glass filaments are drawn in another direction parallel to a direction of a radius extending from an axis of rotation of the pulling surface. An apparatus capable of carrying out the process is also provided.
