Abstract: A method of preparation of a stable oil containing long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in the form of triacylglycerols by dry pressing one or more biomass deriving from the culture of a microorganism to obtain a first pressed oil and a cake and treating the oil with an absorbent and deodorizing in moderate conditions.  The triacylglycerols are especially arachidonic acid (ARA), dihomogammalinoleic acid (DHGLA), docosahexenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentenoic acid (EPA). The biomass is especially from the culture of a fungus or microalga. The pressed cake is contact with a support oil forming part of an alimentary, nutritional, pharmaceutical or cosmetic composition to transfer remaining long-chain fatty acids. The oil is separated, filtered and mixed with the first oil and refined under moderate conditions. Physical refining with the aid of a process agent is carried out during contact with the support oil or after obtaining the pressed oil. The pressed cake may be ground in the presence of the support oil under gentle conditions at a moderate temperature under an inert gas atmosphere.

Abstract: Valve actuator with electromagnet and movable part. The movable part moves as a function of current intensity in the winding of the electromagnet. The actuator includes a regulation circuit with retro-action using a signal representing the position of the movable part. It has means (54) for making linear the dependence between , an input signal ( psi ) representing a parameter, different from position, of the track of the movable part and the position signal. The input parameter is acceleration. For retro-action a return signal is used which includes the position signal, and mobile part speed signal. To obtain the speed signal a unit measure the derivative with respect to time of a position measuring signal. The making linear unit provides a signal proportional to the square of current intensity in the electromagnet winding. The actuator has a unit (64) which extracts the square root of the output signal.. A trajectory level generator, for the movable part, determines its acceleration level as a function of time in the form of a polynomial time function.

Abstract: The invention relates to the oil industry and can be used for testing the intake capacity of a well and perform an action on a bottom zone thereof. Said invention makes it possible to increase the number of measured parameters and improve the accuracy of characterisation of the well, the well bottom zone and a formation. The inventive method consists in performing a pulse nonstationary injection of a reagent and measuring the injection pressure and the reagent flow on the measuring section of an injection line before the wellhead. A cumulative consumption of work supplied for nonstationary flow of the reagent consumption unit in the well bottom zone is defined. Skin-effect factor is calculated taking into consideration the current conductivity of the formation. The injection mode is modified when required filtration properties of the bottom well zone determined according to the skin-effect are obtained.
