Granted: 2007-11-27
Abstract: L'invention porte sur un procédé de commande des opérations de production à l'aide de dispositifs à fibres optiques. Un détecteur muni de fibres optiques est descendu en fond de puits pour fournir des informations sur les conditions y régnant. On peut ainsi mesurer en temps réel et en ligne différents paramètres relatifs aux produits chimiques utilisés pour traiter les surfaces, et utiliser lesdits paramètres pour régler le dosage de ces produits dans le système de traitement des surfaces. On peut également utiliser des informations pour commander les dispositifs de fond de puits tels que les packers, les duses, les manchons coulissants, les dispositifs de perforation, les vannes de commande de débit, les outils de mise en production, les ancres, etc. Il est également possible de commander certaines opérations en ligne de récupération secondaire à l'aide desdits détecteurs qui suivent l'état des roches réservoirs. L'invention porte également sur un procédé de production dans un puits d'énergie motrice par utilisation d'énergie optique, soit directement, soit indirectement, par exemple en produisant d'abord de l'énergie électrique qui est ensuite convertie en une autre forme d'énergie.

Abstract: Procédé et dispositif servant à fabriquer des produits de papier, tels que de la litière pour animaux ou du papier combustible, ce qui consiste à réduire le papier en particules en le déchiquetant et en le broyant, à transporter les particules de papier depuis une trémie (20) sous forme de couche sur un premier convoyeur (21), en les faisant passer d'abord sous un rouleau d'égalisation et de compression (22) et, ensuite, sous un ensemble de pulvérisateurs d'eau (24), avant de les transférer depuis ce convoyeur sur un deuxième convoyeur (21') à l'aide d'une plaque de déflexion (27) dirigée vers l'arrière afin d'inverser la couche pendant le transfert. La couche inversée sur le deuxième convoyeur est transférée vers un troisième convoyeur à bande (40) se déplaçant à travers un anneau (41), ce qui a pour effet d'envelopper la bande (40) sur elle-même et autour du mélange, de manière à constituer un tunnel (42) enveloppant et comprimant ce mélange afin de créer une extrusion. Le produit de papier sous forme extrudée est découpé en petits morceaux avant d'être déshydraté. Dans le cas de produit de papier à utiliser en tant que papier combustible, on mélange le papier à de la poussière de charbon. Le fond de la trémie contient une pluralité de vis sans fin rotatives (30) servant à décharger le papier de façon régulière à travers la bande du convoyeur (21), tandis que des agitateurs rotatifs de type palettes (32) sont également contenus dans le fond du convoyeur afin d'empêcher les particules de papier de s'agglomérer.

Abstract: An adaptive multidimensional beamformer having near-instantaneous convergence for ultrasound imaging systems deploying multidimensional sensor arrays is disclosed. In a first step, the multidimensional beamformer is decomposed into sub-apertures. Each sub-aperture is then again decomposed into two coherent subsets of circular and/or line array beamformers in different coordinate directions of the multidimensional array. Implementation of the multidimensional beamformer according to the present invention provides the basis for a 3D ultrasound imaging system according to the present invention comprising a compact multidimensional sensor array and a compact processing unit that is field deployable and generates high resolution three--dimensional images in real time. It is also possible to capture four- dimensional images, the fourth dimension being time and the resulting images forming a video image of a volume of a moving organ.

Abstract: An apparatus for plating a conductive film directly on a substrate with a barrier layer on top includes anode rod (1) placed in tube (109), and anode rings (2, and 3) placed between cylindrical walls (107, 105), (103, 101) respectively. Anodes (1, 2, 3) are powered by power supplies (13,.12 and 11), respectively. Electrolyte (34) is pumped by pump (33) to pass through filter (32) and reach inlets of liquid mass flow controllers (LMFCs) (21, 22, 23). Then LMFCs (21, 22, 23) deliver electrolyte at a set flow rate to sub-plating baths containing anodes (3, 2, 1), respectively. After flowing through the gap between wafer (31) and the top of the cylindrical walls (101, 103, 105, 107 and 109), electrolyte flows back to tank (36) through spaces between cylindrical walls (100, 101), (103, 105), (107, 109), respectively. A pressure leak valve (38) is placed between the outlet of pump (33) and electrolyte tank (36) to leak electrolyte back to tank (36) when LMFCs (21, 22, 23) are closed. A wafer (31) held by wafer chuck (29) is connected to power supplies (11, 12 and 13). A drive mechanism (30) is used to rotate wafer (31) around the z axis, and oscillate the wafer in the x, y, and z directions shown. Filter (32) filters particles larger than 0.1 or 0.2 µm in order to obtain a low particle added plating process.

Abstract: A gas-fired forced draft air heating furnace is provided with a specially designed self-cooling draft inducer fan that overlies an inshot-type burner section of the furnace and is operatively supported on a heat exchanger plenum portion of the furnace housing. The fan motor is supported on an outboard housing side of the fan, and an umbrella cooling fan is coaxially secured to an outboard end of the fan drive shaft. During operation of the draft inducer fan, the umbrella fan is rotationally driven to direct a flow of ambient cooling air toward the outboard side of the draft inducer fan housing in a manner causing the air flow to sequentially contact and cool the outer shaft end bearing area, the motor windings and the inner shaft end bearing area at the outer side of the draft inducer fan housing. A baffle structure mounted on the outer draft inducer fan housing side serves to guide the cooling air flow along the inner shaft end bearing area and shield the burner flames from disruption by the cooling air flow area after it contacts the inner shaft end bearing area.

Abstract: With a method of controlling synchronous drive of a plurality of pressing machines, each of the pressing machines has a motor, a drive shaft to which a torque of a flywheel driven by the motor is transmitted through a clutch and a slide driven by the drive shaft so that a rotational position of the drive shaft of each of the pressing machines is synchronous each other.        The method has a step of detecting actual velocity information of the motor and a step of detecting actual rotational-position information of the drive shaft. The detected actual rotational-position information is compared with the reference rotational-position information from a reference rotational position information generating section. Based on the result of the comparison, the reference velocity information from a reference velocity information generating section is compensated into characteristic reference velocity information of each of the pressing machines. The motor is controllably driven based on the characteristic reference velocity information and the actual velocity information.
