Title: Broadband coupler technique for electrical connection to power lines
Inventor: GERSZBERG IRWIN
IPC: H04B3/54
Filed: 2005-08-10
Abstract: Disclosed is a power line broadband communication system having broadband coupler devices capable of direct electrical connection to an energized power line. The coupler includes a conductive portion movable by an adjustable member from a non-conducting retracted position spaced apart from the power transmission line to a forward conducting position in electrical contact with the power line. An insulated arm supports the coupler on the power line. A base on the coupler is engageable with a remotely activated tool in order to accomplish the electrical connection in a safe and secure manner. Broadband data signals are sent to and from customer premises along the shared energized power lines. New coupler connections to the energized power lines allow the additional broadband customers and/or repeaters to join the communication system. Also couplers may provide connections to control electronics, routers, wireless transceivers, and may allow the broadband signals to bypass transformers on the power lines. The invention helps to minimize risk by allowing an installer to be remotely spaced from the energized power line while making the electrical coupling contact with the energized power line.

Title: Obtaining multi-dimensional nuclear spin proton density distributions
Inventor: DUNN KEH-JIM
IPC: G01V3/32
Filed: 2004-03-10
Abstract: La method for obtaining a multi-dimensional proton density distribution from a system of nuclear spins. A plurality of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data is acquired from a fluid containing porous medium having a system of nuclear spins. A multi-dimensional inversion is performed on the plurality of NMR data using an inversion algorithm employing a Fredholm integral of the first kind, wherein two or more kernels are reduced to a single composite kernel to obtain the multi-dimensional proton density distribution. A series of conventional CPMG pulse sequences, from a conventional NMR tool, excites the system of nuclear spins. A regression method which reduces computational efforts and retains only those grid points, and preferably their neighboring grid points, which have non-zero values, during subsequent iterations of solving for the multi-dimensional proton density distribution is applied. This regression process is repeated until the density distribution is satisfactorily smooth.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the selective removal of hydrogen sulphide, organic sulphur constituents and CO2 from crude gas, using a first and a second absorption stage (41 and 49) for separating essentially pure C02.  The aim of the invention is to provide a solution enabling hydrogen sulphide and organic sulphur compounds, inter alia, to be removed as selectively as possible. To this end, the absorbent from the first absorption stage (41), enriched with hydrogen sulfide and C02, inter alia, is pre-heated in a heat exchanger (44) at an increased pressure, with the hot, regenerated solution (12) from the desorption stage (50), and is then expanded in a high-pressure flash container (47) at the selected higher pressure. The gas flow released at the increased pressure is cooled in a condenser (48), and is then supplied to the second absorption stage (49) in which the sulphur constituents are fully removed by means of a partial flow of the regenerated absorbent (15,16,17) from the desorption stage (50). The absorbent from the second absorption stage (49) is redirected (26/27) into the desorption stage (50).
