Title: Eolienne
Inventor: WOBBEN ALOYS
IPC: F03D1/00
Filed: 2003-09-22
Granted: 2010-08-31
Abstract: La technique des éoliennes s'est considérablement développée durant les vingt dernières années. Il existe maintenant des éoliennes développant jusqu'à 5 MW et l'évolution à venir laisse présager des installations dont la puissance nominale sera encore augmentée. L'invention ne concerne pas tant ces installations très puissantes, mais plutôt des petites éoliennes, notamment une petite éolienne d'une puissance nominale de 50 à 150 kW, laquelle peut être montée à un endroit quelconque de la terre avec le moins de machines possible. Cette invention vise donc à simplifier l'édification d'une éolienne. A cet effet, les éléments constituant l'éolienne de l'invention tels que rotor, générateur, nacelle, pylône, sont placés dans un container pour le transport sur le chantier de construction, où ils sont assemblés pour former l'éolienne, le container étant conçu de manière telle qu'il reçoit le pylône de l'éolienne et constitue sa base.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un réseau d'imagerie (et un procédé de fonctionnement correspondant) qui comprend une pluralité d'éléments de pixel à base de thyristor à hétérojonction placés à l'intérieur de cavités résonantes formées sur un substrat. Chaque élément de pixel à base de thyristor comprend des interfaces de puits cantique dopé à modulation de type p et de types n complémentaire qui sont espacées l'une de l'autre. Un rayonnement incident dans une longueur d'onde prédéterminée résonne à l'intérieur de la cavité d'un élément de pixel donné en vue d'une absorption dans cette cavité qui entraîne l'accumulation d'une charge. La charge accumulée est liée à l'intensité du rayonnement incident. L'élément de pixel à base de thyristor à hétérojonction convient pour de nombreuses applications d'imagerie, notamment des réseaux d'imagerie à base de CCD et des réseaux d'imagerie à pixels actifs.

Abstract: This disclosure provides methods for processing dispersive acoustic waveforms. According to an embodiment, there is provided a method for processing acoustic data using DSTC processing that involves calculating dispersion sensitivity and implementing a dynamic processing frequency band to minimize or reduce the effects of model error. The method also involves determining sensitivity limits or "cut-offs" in the received acoustic data for various parameters, including tool presence in the borehole. Another embodiment involves an iterative process at each depth level wherein a first slowness is estimated using parameters assuming a homogenous isotropic model, and then semblance processing is iteratively repeated until a stop criteria is satisfied. Examples of stop criteria include a decreased error bar size, a minimized change in slowness between iterations, or a coherence (mean or peak) that decreases below a threshold.

IPC: A61M5/14
Filed: 2006-10-30
Granted: 2014-09-23
Abstract: An implantable pump includes a base plate and a can that are parts of the pump housing. The base plate bottom divides the housing into a first electronics chamber and a second chamber. A bellows mechanism is connected to the base plate and is disposed within the second chamber. The bellow mechanism has an expandable sidewall and a bottom plate. The bellow mechanism divides the second chamber into a medicament receiving portion and a non-medicament-receiving portion. The bellow mechanism has an intermediate plate disposed within the medicament-receiving portion. A coil is disposed in a recess on the lower surface of the base plate, and the coil is spaced from an internal wall of the recess. The amount of fluid remaining in the implantable pump can be monitored by energizing the coil. A primary magnetic field is generated by the energized coil. A secondary magnetic field, which is dependant on the position of the bottom and intermediate plate of the bellow mechanism, couples back to the primary field affecting the electrical characteristics of the coil. The amount of fluid remaining in the reservoir is determined based on the resulting changes in the electrical characteristics of the coil.

Abstract: A cassette having a molded flow channel contained on an elastomeric sheet that is bonded or mechanically attached to a rigid substrate. A surgical console contains a cassette receiving area having a pump head with rollers that are mounted radially from the axis of rotation of the pump motor and compress the elastomeric flow channels against the rigid substrate. The cassette is held in place against the pump head by a latching mechanism that draws the cassette against the pump head. The periphery of the elastomeric sheet contains a raised ridge or boss integrally formed as part of the elastomeric sheet at or near the area(s) of the elastomeric sheet that is/are subject to high transient or static pressures. The ridge allows the elastomeric sheet to be firmly pressed against the cassette receiving portion of the surgical console, yet still allow the cassette to be drawn against the pump head. The firm engagement of the sheet ridge against the cassette receiving portion of the surgical console helps to ensure that the elastomeric sheet does not become dislodged when the cassette is exposed to high transient pressures.
