Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif de mesure électronique (20) pour un débitmètre à effet Coriolis (5) capable d'être intrinsèquement sûr. Un conditionneur de signal (201) reçoit du courant provenant d'une alimentation en courant (230) dans un système hôte (200) distant du conditionneur (201) de signal. Un ensemble de circuits (210) d'entraînement situé dans le conditionneur de signal (201) génère un signal d'entraînement à partir du courant reçu et applique ce signal d'entraînement à un circuit d'attaque (104). L'ensemble de circuits (220) du conditionneur de signal détecteur d'angle situé dans le conditionneur de signal reçoit des signaux d'entrée provenant d'un premier détecteur d'angle (105) et d'un second détecteur d'angle (105'), génère des informations indiquant les propriétés d'une matière qui s'écoule à travers le conduit à partir des signaux d'entrée et transmet des signaux de sortie. Un ensemble de circuits (320) de protection placé du côté hôte dans le conditionneur (201) de signal empêche la circulation d'un excédent de puissance seuil intrinsèquement sûr dans des conducteurs qui relient le conditionneur de signal au système hôte (200) et l'ensemble de circuits (330) de protection de l'ensemble débitmètre situé à l'intérieur dudit conditionneur de signal empêche la circulation d'un excédent de puissance seuil intrinsèquement sûr dans des conducteurs (100) qui relient le conditionneur (201) de signal au circuit d'attaque (104), au premier détecteur d'angle (105) et au second détecteur d'angle (105').

Abstract: The burnishing method and apparatus for implementing the method of the present invention utilizes a burnishing process to provide deep compression with a minimal amount of cold working and surface hardening. In particular, the method of the present invention comprises the steps of selecting a region of the part to be treated (block 10); selecting the magnitude of compression and the residual stress distribution to be induced along the surface of the selected region (block 12); and inducing a layer of compressive residual stress along the surface of the selected region having the desired magnitude of compression and stress distribution (block 14). In a preferred embodiment, the layer of compressive residual stress is induced by a burnishing operation using a burnishing apparatus (100) having a single-point burnishing member (106) is forced against the surface (108) of the part (110) and moved along the surface (108) in a substantially nonoverlapping pattern. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the burnishing apparatus (100) automatically increases the pressure being applied against the surface (108) on high point and decreases on low points along the surface (108).

Title: Fischer-tropsch catalyst enhancement
Inventor: KRYLOVA ALLA JURIEVNA
IPC: C10G2/00
Filed: 2001-08-03
Granted: 2010-06-29
Abstract: A process of enhancing both the activity and the methane selectivity of a Dispersed Active Metal ("DAM") hydrogenation catalyst is disclosed wherein the DAM undergoes low temperature oxidation in a slurry phase to form a stable, unique oxidized catalyst precursor that is subsequently reduced to form an enhanced catalyst by treatment with hydrogen-containing gas at elevated temperature, wherein reducible promoter metals comprising one or more of rhenium, ruthenium, palladium, iron and cobalt are added to the DAM. The promoter metals are mixed with the oxidized catalyst precursor as a solution of their reducible salts. The oxidized catalyst precursors are again recovered from the the mixture and treated with hydrogen-containing gas to simultaneously form the metals and reactivate the DAM catalyst.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for use in a control system, such as a steering control system, for validating quadrature signals. A system makes a determination of validity based on the timing of detected state changes in the quadrature signals. To accomplish this, the amount of time that elapses between successive transitions is compared to the amount of time that elapses in an adjacent time period.      If the two time periods are close enough, the signals are considered valid.

Abstract: Quick real-time identification and estimation of a time-non-varying or time-varying system. A new H.infin. evaluation criterion is determined, a fast algorithm for a modified H.infin. filter based on the criterion is developed, and a quick time-varying system identifying method according to the fast H.infin. filtering algorithm is provided. By the fast H.infin. filtering algorithm, a time-varying system sharply varying can be traced with an amount of calculation O(N) per unit time step. The algorithm completely agrees with a fast Kalman filtering algorithm at the extreme of the upper limit value. If the estimate of impulse response is determined, a pseudo-echo is sequentially determined from the estimate and subtracted from the real echo to cancel the echo. Thus an echo chancellor is realized.

Granted: 2013-03-19
Abstract: Mosaic-shaped block noise occurs when a compressed video signal is reproduced. This block noise is removed, but removing block noise from every block using a deblocking filter imposes a significant load on the deblocking filter. This load is therefore reduced by determining whether coding distortion removal (deblocking) is necessary, and applying a deblocking filter only when needed.

Title: In-situ hydroisomerization of a synthesized hydrocarbon liquid in a slurry fischer-tropsch reactor
Inventor: WITTENBRINK ROBERT JAY
IPC: C07C1/00
Filed: 2002-09-27
Granted: 2011-01-25
Abstract: A slurry Fischer-Tropsch hydrocarbon synthesis process for synthesizing liquid hydrocarbons from synthesis gas in a hydrocarbon synthesis reactor also hydroisomerizes the synthesized hydrocarbon liquid, which comprises the slurry liquid, in one or more downcomer reactors immersed in the slurry body in the synthesis reactor. A monolithic catalyst is preferably used for the hydroisomerization, and slurry circulation down through the downcomer reactors from the surrounding slurry body, is achieved at least in part by density-difference driven hydraulics created by removing gas bubbles from the slurry passed into the downcomers. Preferably, catalyst particles are also removed before the slurry contacts the catalyst. Hydroisomerization occurs while the synthesis reactor is producing hydrocarbons, without interfering with the hydrocarbon synthesis reaction.
