Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé et un appareil d'enlèvement de débris de forage provenant d'une plate-forme de forage de puits de gaz ou de pétrole qui consiste à séparer les débris de forage du fluide de forage du puits, sur la plate-forme de forage, de sorte que le fluide de forage puisse être recyclé dans le puits creusé au cours de l'opération de forage. Les débris sont ensuite transmis par écoulement par gravité à un bac récepteur (11) de matériaux dont l'intérieur est défini par des parois latérales et un fond. Les débris de forage sont aspirés depuis le fond du bac par un tuyau d'aspiration (22) comportant un orifice d'aspiration positionné au niveau du fond du bac à matériaux. Des débris de forage sont transmis par l'intermédiaire du tuyau d'aspiration à une paire de trémies (204, 205) présentant chacune un volume intérieur. On crée un vide, en séquence, à l'intérieur de chaque trémie, au moyen d'une soufflante (57) en communication fluidique avec le volume intérieur de la trémie. Les deux trémies sont positionnées l'une au-dessus de l'autre, de sorte que des débris peuvent être ajoutés à la première trémie (204), qui est la trémie supérieure, par l'intermédiaire du tuyau d'aspiration et ensuite amenés par gravité vers la seconde trémie (205), qui est la trémie inférieure. Un agencement de soupapes maintient le vide de manière permanente l'intérieur d'au moins une trémie. Un conduit évacue le contenu de la trémie inférieure dans un réservoir de rétention sélectionné si bien qu'un certain nombre de réservoirs de rétention (209, 210) peuvent être remplis séquentiellement, de manière continue.

Lorsqu'un article (12) équipé d'un label de sécurité RF-ID (22) est détecté passant par la sortie du magasin, l'interrogateur émet un signal dérivé du label de sécurité (22). Ce signal de sortie comprend le numéro de série du label. En outre la caméra (58) enregistre une image de la personne traversant la sortie avec article portant le label. Le signal émis par l'interrogateur est adressé à l'ordinateur éloigné (38). Ce dernier (38) compare périodiquement les enregistrements (36) des transactions avec les signaux émis par l'interrogateur afin de détecter toute différence entre les deux. Ces différences sont étudiées en observant les images vidéo enregistrées à un moment proche de la survenue des différences.

Abstract: A rubberized fabric for a tire belt incorporating continuous reinforcing elements made from a shape-memory material and a tire incorporating same. The rubberized fabric forms the zero-degree belt layer of the tire. The fundamental characteristic of the fabric resides in its incorporation of means to stabilize the reinforcing elements in the predetermined position within the fabric. Stabilization of the reinforcing elements is accomplished by shaping the reinforcing elements in the form of side-by-side metal straps (15). The minimum width (L) of each metal strap (15) is about 1 mm and the thickness (S) of the rubberized fabric incorporating the metal straps has a maximum value of about 0.4 mm and is preferably about 0.3 mm. Among other things, the rubberized fabric improves the vulcanization process of the tire by constraining the underlying belt layers, lessens the consequences of "flatspotting", and permits the construction of a lighter weight tire. <IMAGE>
