Title: Method and apparatus for preventing slug flow in pipelines
Inventor: YANG JIANG
IPC: B65G53/00
Filed: 2005-12-06
Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system for controlling the formation of liquid or gas slugs along a pipeline (120). In embodiments, an injection unit (104) injects a liquid surface tension reducing agent, such as a foamant, into the pipeline upstream of the high point. A control unit (208) can be used to control the injection unit. In certain arrangements, the control unit adjusts the injection of the agent based on measured parameters of interest. In embodiments where the control unit utilizes temperature measurements, one or more temperature sensors (132) are positioned along the pipeline. The control unit utilizes the temperature measurements to determine whether a predetermined condition exists or a liquid or gas slug is present.

Patent CA-2610726-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LICHTWALD GOTZ
IPC: H04L69/40
Filed: 2006-06-01
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for providing substitute routes in rapid response to the failure of a link between two routing domains (AS1, AS2) in a packet-oriented network. After the failure of a link has been identified, substitute routes are provided for routes which have been interrupted by said failure by locally selecting alternative routes and propagating messages along the substitute routes. In order to provide substitute routes, an inter-domain router (R3) checks whether the router contains a substitute route. If there is no substitute route, a request message is transmitted to at least one adjacent inter-domain router (R2, R3) and the transmission of at least one substitute route is thus requested. If there is a substitute route in the adjacent inter-domain router (R2, R3), the inter-domain router (R1) making the enquiries is informed of this in a response message. The invention thus results in the improved provision of substitute routes in response to disruptions in inter-domain routing.
