Inventor: ROBERTS STEPHEN JOHN
IPC: E21B17/01
Filed: 1998-07-16
Abstract: L'invention concerne un tube ascenseur, utile en particulier mais pas exclusivement pour connecter une installation de puits sous-marin à un navire de service positionné de façon dynamique. Le tube ascenseur comporte au moins une section formée d'un tuyau rigide, et au moins une section formée d'un tuyau flexible. De préférence, les sections supérieure et inférieure (10, 12) sont formées de longueurs fixes de tuyau flexible, et la section centrale est formée de plusieurs longueurs de tuyau rigide pouvant être assemblées pour obtenir une longueur voulue. Le tube ascenseur peut être déployé à partir d'un puits central du navire, et sert à contenir les mouvements du navire en surface. Ce qui permet d'utiliser un navire de service positionné de façon dynamique à la place d'une plate-forme de forage classique.

Abstract: Ce convertisseur, alimenté par le réseau alternatif, prélève sur celui-ci un courant offrant un facteur de puissance proche de l'unité et un taux de distorsion harmonique totale voisin de 5 %, tandis que l'amplitude du courant appliqué à la charge de sortie (2) demeure sensiblement constante. Il comprend une structure en pont faisant appel à des moyens commutateurs (1', 1'') et à des condensateurs (3a, 3b) dont la réactance à la fréquence de découpage est choisie de telle sorte qu'une portion de l'énergie convertie, après redressement, s'additionne entre les bornes d'un condensateur (6) au courant secteur redressé par un pont (7). Une source tampon (4) a une tension continue d'amplitude sensiblement constante, qui permet d'équilibrer les potentiels mis en jeu et d'éliminer ainsi tout risque de destruction par des surtensions incontrôlables.

Abstract: An electronic material comprising a paint component, a
filler mixed in the paint component, and a repellent
carried in the filler, thereby capable of forming a
repellent film having a repellent performance. 
     An electronic component comprising (a) an electronic
element, and (b) a repellent layer having a repellent
function formed on the surface of the electronic element,
and this repellent layer includes a resin component, a
filler mixed in the resin component, and a repellent
carried in the filler. 
     A manufacturing method of electronic component
comprising (a) a step of carrying a repellent in a filler,
(b) a step of mixing the filler containing the repellent
and a paint component, and preparing an electronic material,
(c) a step of forming the electronic material on the
surface of an electronic element, and (d) a step of curing
the electronic material formed on the surface of the
electronic element, and forming a repellent layer. 
     The loss of the repellent due to evaporation or
dissipation in the manufacturing process of electronic
material decreases, and the loss speed of the repellent
contained in the repellent layer formed on the surface of
the electronic element due to evaporation or dissipation is
lowered, and therefore the consumption of the repellent is 
saved substantially, and the repellent effect is maintained
for a long period. It is possible to obtain an electronic
material containing repellent of low cost, less likely to
cause blurring, and having excellent printability and film
forming properties. As a result, invasion or staying of
insects in electronic appliances can be prevented, and
occurrence of troubles of electronic appliances due to dead
bodies or excrements of insects can be prevented, and
therefore the reliability of electronic appliances can be
notably enhanced, and adverse effects on the human health
can be reduced.
Patent EP-1023776-A1 (EP)
Inventor: KNAPP DAVID J
IPC: H03L7/08
Filed: 1998-10-16
Abstract: An apparatus is provided for automatically and dynamically adjusting a frequency division factor of a clock divider situated in the feedback loop of a phase-locked loop (PLL). The frequency division factor is modified based on changes in the input signal frequency forwarded to the PLL. If the input signal frequency increases, the decision circuit coupled to the input of the voltage controlled oscillator records that change as an encoded digital signal. That signal will accordingly modify the current frequency division factor dependent on current division factor as well as the current input signal frequency. The decision circuit can be modeled as an A/D converter, and the control unit placed between the decision circuit and the clock divider can be modeled as a state diagram. Each state of the state diagram is indicative of a frequency division factor, or a change in that division factor, wherein the coded digital signal indicates possible change from one state to another. By modifying the frequency division factor, the PLL can dynamically lock upon a changed input signal frequency without varying the clocking signal output from the PLL. Thus, the PLL can accommodate various input signal frequencies yet maintain a relatively fixed clocking signal to be forwarded as a timing reference to a digital processor.

IPC: H03K23/64
Filed: 1998-12-08
Abstract: A multi-divide frequency divider, includes a chain of serially-connected frequency divider units, each responding to a first state of received control signals by using the reference clock signal to generate an output signal having a frequency that is the reference clock frequency divided by a first divisor, and each responding to a second state of the control signals by using the reference clock signal to generate an output signal having a frequency that is the reference clock frequency divided by a second divisor. The output signal may be supplied to a successor frequency divider unit in the chain. Division by the first and second divisors causes the frequency divider to respectively transition through first and second predetermined state sequences. Each frequency divider further responds to a third state of the control signals by initializing the frequency divider to an initial state that is common to both the first and second predetermined state sequences, whereby the frequency divider in the initial state is immediately responsive to subsequent application of the first state of the control signals, and is immediately responsive to subsequent application of the second state of the control signals. Receipt of a received swallow enable control signal having a predetermined value disables division by the second divisor. Each frequency divider further generates an output control signal having the predetermined value whenever the frequency divider is in the initial state.
