Inventor: IMAZ ODRIOZOLA MIGUEL MARIA
IPC: E04B5/43
Filed: 1998-02-06
Abstract: The structural members obtained in accordance
with the improvements of the invention include
bidirectional hollow lightening blocks (3), forming
orthogonal ribs (4) and other shapes, this lightening
being completed by a lower reinforcement (5) and another,
upper reinforcement (6) based on unidirectional or
bidirectional mesh in both cases, which, when duly
concreted, form lower and upper slabs respectively, and
separation reinforcements (7) between them which define
a reinforcement of the ribs which are formed in the
positioning of the hollow lightening blocks (3). The
structural member without girders obtained offers the
same resistance to positive and negative moments, and the
meshes which constitute the lower (5) and upper (6)
reinforcements are simple meshes of conventional industrial
fabrication.

Abstract: Procedure for the surface treatment of petrous
materials, which comprises the frictioning of the surface
or surfaces to be treated of the petrous material by
means of brushes, the bristles of which produce progressive
erosion on such surfaces, this erosion being of
greater depth on zones with less hardness. The procedure
permits the obtention of textures of aged appearance, the
grinding and polishing of faces and edges and the removal
of parts with little consistency.

Abstract: The hydroextractor disclosed has a dehydration
chamber, a pressurization chamber defined by a flexible
diaphragm in isolation from the dehydration chamber, and a
crushing member disposed in the dehydration chamber. A
pipe member extends through the pressurization chamber and
the diaphragm, and a rotary shaft extends sealingly through
the pipe member into the dehydration chamber. The crushing
member is mounted to the rotary shaft and is driven by a
drive apparatus connected to the opposite end of the shaft.
The hydroextractor feeds moist material and pours cooling
water into the dehydration chamber and introduces
pressurized water into the pressurization chamber. The hot
material fed in the dehydration chamber is pressure-dehydrated
into a cake with the diaphragm of the pressurization
chamber. The dehydrated cake is poured with
cooling water, and at the same time the crushing member
crushes the dehydrated cake and mixes it with the cooling
water. This agitation breaks films of coagulative
substances formed in the dehydrated cake and provides
passages for the residual water to be extracted, thereby
increasing the dehydration rate and rapidly cooling the
material.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of detecting, at the surface, the occurrence of
torsional vibration in a bottomhole assembly (10) mounted on the drill string (12) of a
rotary drilling system. The method includes the steps of: ascertaining natural frequencies
of torsional vibration of the bottomhole assembly (10) prior to drilling, and noting at
least one reference frequency for an integer wavelength mode of torsional vibration of
the bottomhole assembly (10). During subsequent drilling, the drill string mean square
torque at the surface is monitored for a bandwidth around the reference frequency. It
is found that peaks in the mean square torque, close to the reference frequency, are
indicative of the occurrence of torsional vibration in the bottomhole assembly (10).

IPC: C23C14/58

Abstract: Past techniques utilized wet chemistry to produce a carrier-free radioisotope for a seed implant. However, by using the technique of ion implantation, it is possible to physically separate the precursor isotope by magnetic means and further, to physically direct a beam of these isotopically pure atoms and to embed them into a suitable carrier body. Thus, formation of the seed implant may be accomplished using dry techniques, that is, no liquid chemistry. The systems and methods disclosed herein are designed to produce a beam of a single stable isotope using an ion implanter and to further implant this single stable isotope below the surface of a carrier body. After neutron activation, these single stable isotopes will produce the isotopes iodine-125, palladium-103, cesium-131, or ytterbium-169 embedded within the carrier body. Optionally, the carrier body may be encapsulated prior to activating the precursor isotope embedded in the carrier body.

Abstract: Cette invention a trait à une méthode et à l'appareil correspondant permettant d'attirer des insectes, notamment des simulies, des phlébotomes et des moustiques, les effets physiques associés aux régions cutanées des animaux proies étant simulés. Parmi les éléments de base d'une première réalisation de cet appareil figurent des enceintes chauffées à parois élastiques pour fluide pulsé pouvant avoir la forme d'une colonne élastique dans laquelle un fluide tiède s'écoule par impulsions, lesquelles impulsions devant produire divers effets physiques. L'énergie nécessaire au chauffage et à la production d'impulsions peut être fournie par une source d'électricité d'origine solaire, mécanique, nucléaire, chimique ou autre. Parmi les éléments de base d'une seconde réalisation de cet appareil figure un ressort faible (78) suspendu à un support (80) et couplé à un générateur de vibrations. Autour du ressort (78) se trouve une membrane déformable s'apparentant à la peau. Le ressort est mis à vibrer et les vibrations sont transmises à la membrane de manière à produire des effets physiques liés au mouvement cutané d'un animal proie. Le dispositif peut également comporter un générateur de chaleur (74) pour chauffer la surface ressemblant à la peau. Un autre mode de réalisation comporte un excitateur et un système de transmission d'onde progressive. L'excitateur se déplace relativement à ce système de transmission d'onde progressive de manière à y créer une onde progressive afin d'attirer les insectes vers l'appareil. La mise à mort des insectes ou la collecte d'insectes vivants ou morts peut se faire par piégeage ou par exécution par voie électrique, mécanique ou chimique. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, le système de transmission d'onde progressive et l'équipement collecteur/tueur sont associés pour ne constituer qu'une seule unité intégrée. Il est possible, si nécessaire, de retirer cette unité et de la remplacer.
