Patent CA-2695450-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WEGERICH STEPHAN
IPC: G06F15/00
Filed: 2008-08-01
Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for diagnosing faults in a monitored system. Estimates of parameter data are generated from the system with reference parameter data characteristic of known behavior of the system. The generated estimates of the parameter data are compared with measured parameter data. A residual is determined for each of the parameters based on a relationship between the estimates of the parameter data and the measured parameter data. A fuzzy classification rule is implemented to determine a likelihood that a predetermined fault exists by using residuals for parameters used to indicate the existence of the predetermined fault.

Title: Hot-dip coating installation
Inventor: DE KOCK PETER
IPC: C23C2/00
Filed: 2008-09-08
Abstract: The invention relates to a hot-dip coating installation for coating a strip with a liquid metal. A roller formed as a hollow body is provided in the liquid metal for deflecting or stabilizing the strip. The roller is mounted in a bearing on a carrier arm of the hot-dip coating installation by means of a roller journal. The object of the invention is to reduce the rotational resistance, the inertia moment and the slip tendency of the roll in relation to the strip. To this end, the interior of the roller is sealed against the liquid metal and a channel is provided for connecting the interior of the roller to the space region on the periphery of the roll journal. In this way, an excess pressure inside the roller and, therefore, and undesirable deformation of the roller are prevented.

Inventor: LEVERIDGE ROBERT M
IPC: E21B49/10

Abstract: Sampling tools are used to extract samples of underground reservoir fluids. The extracted samples can either be analyzed down-hole or stored in a container for subsequent laboratory analyses. In either case, the fluid sample must be representative of both the chemical composition and physical properties of the formation fluid about the volume of sampling acquisition. Often, one sampling tool is used to acquire fluids from several locations within a reservoir. It is highly likely that fluid sampled at a first location in the reservoir may have adhered to the inner walls of the flow line or other hydraulic components of the sampling tool. Consequently, fluid extracted from a second location within the same reservoir may be contaminated by that remaining from the first acquisition. As a consequence, the chemical composition and physical properties determined by analyses of the second fluid may not actually be of the formation fluid but of a mixture of the first and second fluid and thus be unrepresentative of the formation fluid at that second location. Such mixing of fluids from two zones of the same reservoir may plausibly lead to wrong decisions regarding the fluid type within the reservoir. One such example regards the distinction of a fluid as a volatile oil when it is actually a gas condensate, a decision that would have catastrophic consequences on the designed and commissioned surface separator systems.

Title: Push-then-pull operation of a separable connector system
Inventor: HUGHES DAVID CHARLES
IPC: H01R24/00
Filed: 2009-02-09
Abstract: Separating connector assemblies of a separable connector system. The separable connector assemblies include one or more pairs of connectors configured to engage and disengage one another in electrical connection and disconnection opera-tions, respectively. An operator can disengage the connectors by pushing the connectors together and then pulling the connectors apart. Pushing the connectors together shears interface adhesion between the connectors, making it easier for the operator to pull the connectors apart. One of the connectors can include a nose end having an undercut segment configured to not engage an inte-rior surface of the other connector when the connectors are engaged.  Limiting the surface area of the nose end that interfaces with the interior surface of the other connector reduces surface adhesion and a pressure drop when separating the connectors, making separation easier to perform.

Abstract: A gasifier is disclosed combing two reactors using externally generated preheated high temperature steam injection into the first reactor, where the heating demand for gasification is supplied by the sensible energy from the steam.  The gasifier can produce a medium and higher LCV syngas. The first reactor is a fixed bed gasification section where the coarse feedstock is gasified, and the second reactor is an entrained-bed gasification section where the liquid and fine feedstock is gasified. Solid coarse feedstock is devolatilized in the first fixed bed reactor of the gasifier by means of high-temperature steam, and subsequently, in the second reactor subjected to a higher temperature sufficient to crack and destroy tars and oils. Activated carbon may be formed as co-product. The gasifier may be used with various solid and liquid feedstocks. The gasifier is capable of gasifying such different feedstocks simultaneously.
