Abstract: La présente invention concerne un tambour (2), formé de deux parties (14, 15), pour le montage d'une bague de rainage élastique (8) d'un dispositif de rainage, chaque partie ayant une surface extérieure cylindrique (12) et un alésage destiné au montage de la partie de tambour autour d'un arbre (4). Les première et seconde parties de tambour (14, 15) présentent une forme telle qu'elles peuvent être placées bout à bout pour définir entre elle la base (18) et les deux parois latérales (20, 21) d'un canal (6) servant à recevoir la bague de rainage élastique (8). Au moins une paroi latérale (20, 21) du canal (6) présente une partie en retrait de telle sorte qu'une bague de rainage élastique (8) se situant dans le canal (6) et faisant saillie latéralement dans la partie en retrait ne peut pas être retirée radialement du canal (6). En conséquence, il n'est plus nécessaire que la bague (8) soit sous tension pour être maintenue en place. Ainsi une bague fendue (8) peut être utilisée et des bagues de remplacement peuvent être ajoutées au dispositif sans retirer l'arbre (4) de la machine dans laquelle il est monté.

Abstract: One or more Shadow Register Files (SRF) are interposed between a Physical Register File (PRF) and a Backing Store (BS) in a shadow register file system.  The SRFs comprise dual-port registers connected serially in a chain of arbitrary depth from the PRF. A Register Save Engine has random access to one port of the registers in the final SRF in the chain, and saves/restores data between the final SRF and the BS, e.g., RAM. As PRF registers are deallocated from calling procedures for use by called procedures, data are serially shifted from multi-port registers in the PRF through successive corresponding dual-port registers in SRFs, and are serially shifted back toward the multi-port registers as the PRF registers are reallocated to calling procedures.  Since no procedure can access more than the number of registers in the PRF, the effective size of the PRF is increased, using less costly dual-port registers.

Abstract: Chronologically correlated position pairs are generated in a position determination method using a unit, particularly a working machine (4), that changes its own position, having a GNSS receiver (2) and an optically measurable reference point (A) disposed in a spatially stationary manner, particularly an all-around prism (3), and having a geodetic device with a distance- and angle-measuring functionality, particularly a tacheometer (1). To this end, relative positions of the reference point (A) are determined in an interior reference system by optically measuring distance and at least one angle of the geodetic device to the reference point (A) and GNSS positions of the GNSS receiver in an exterior reference system. Equal times, or relative and GNSS positions allocated to a time frame are associated with each other, particularly in pairs, thus forming position pairs. In addition, the position pairs perform a derivation from a balanced relationship between the exterior and interior reference system, particularly from balanced transformation parameters, and determine the position of the unit, of the geodetic device, and/or of the measurable new point from said balanced relationship.

Abstract: Methods for injecting a fluid into a subsurface formation are provided. Each of the methods includes the obtaining data, including formation parameters and operational variables, related to an injection well. A regime of operation for the injection well is determined. The regime of operation is determined using a heuristic model. In one aspect, one or more operational vari-ables, including completion design, reservoir development procedures, and/or injection procedures, is designed based at least in part on the determined regime of operation. Water or other fluid may then be injected into the subsurface formation. The step of determining the regime of operation for the injection well may use a full physics computational simulation to construct a mathe-matical model that can estimate the operating regime for the water injection well. Alternatively or in addition, field data may be used.
