Measuring or sensing the downhole environment electrically, acoustically, mechanically, or by nuclear means, of either the borehole fluid or surrounding subsurface strata (the formation), is accomplished while, or during, a hole-find ing operation. Combining the ability to measure or sense the downhole or formation environment actively from within (such as by means of a nuclear source/sensor), or ...

The invention relates to an absorbent article (1), intended for absorption of body fluids, having a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction and exhibiting a liquid-pervious surface (2), a liquid-impervious surface (3), and an absorbent body (4) arranged between the two surfaces (2, 3), and further exhibiting two longitudinal side edges (12, 13) extending in the longitudinal direction of ...

In an ion mobility spectrometer (IMS), the essential parts, namely the ion gate, the drift chamber, and the ion collector, consist of pieces that are slice or wafer shaped, and are either anisotropically etchable or can be machined using micromechanical methods. The parts are held together by clamps, adhesives, or other known assembly methods. The drift chamber consists of two sliced pieces with a...

The invention provides a variable rate CDMA spread circuit which can obtain a sufficient number of spread codes (i.e., channels) orthogonal to each other in a mobile communication system which employs the CDMA scheme and has a plurality of channels of different bit rates. The variable rate CDMA spread circuit includes channel transmission processing units. An adder adds transmission signals output...

An ergonomically-designed, multipurpose knife having a handle, a blade with a shank and a tip, and a fastener for attaching the handle to the shank. The blade has a curved outer edge extending substantially from the shank to the tip, with an integrally-formed gut hook positioned near the shank and opening toward the tip. A portion of the outer edge is sharpened to form a cutting edge. The fastener...

Compounds of the formulae I, II, III and IV (see fig. I) (see fig. II) (see fig. III) (see fig. IV) wherein Ar for example is a phenyl, biphenyl or benzoylphenyl group, which is un substituted or substituted; Ar1, for example, has the same meanings as Ar; Ar2 is inter alia phenyl; X may be a direct bond; Y hydrogen, etc.; R1 and R2 for example C1-C8alkyl; R3 inter alia hydrogen or C1-C12alkyl; R4 ...

An apparatus for continuously deep-freezing food products comprising a rotary drum (1) the axis of which is slanted toward the outlet (22); a cooling system (26); suction means (28) for creating a cooling air stream (G) rising up the drum in countercurrent with respect to the product feeding direction (P) and for discharging said cooling stream; an elongated bridge structure (33) supporting fans (...

An apparatus for molding a continuous foamed plastics element (2), such as a floor construction member of the type comprising a substantially parallelepipedic central body (3) and at least one lateral projection (5,6), includes a mold (13) comprising a forming chamber (13a) and a stabilization chamber (13b) defined between a bottom wall (22), a pair of opposite side walls (20,21), and a cover (23)...

This invention concerns a suction unit for hoods, ovens and similar appliances consisting of a double auger casing in which the two augers are adjacent but spaced so that two separate suction inlets may be realised on the same, one on the external side and the other on internal side.

A hybrid constellation satellite communication system (100) is established using two or more satellite types (110, 120) in different constellations. The two or more satellite types (110, 120) are connected to system control centers (140) via control links (105, 135) which provides a communication path from the satellite constellations to the system control centers (140). The two or more satellite ...

Vehicle tire and a metal sheet mold plate for forming the vehicle tire having at least one axial end section includes a tread that includes sipes running substantially axially in at least one of the axial end sections when viewed from the top (i.e., perpendicula r to the tread surface). The sipes are corrugated to form corrugated ridges and valleys that a re substantially straight lines diagonally...

Turning of a cellular network phone (MS) into a cordless phone begins by placing the phone in a charging device located in a home base station (HBS) and containing special communication pins through which the phone and the base station may exchange authentication information while the phone is in the charger. When there is a wireline connection between the home base station and the phone, any part...

The male (1) and female (2) coupling or only the one cone (5) of the male or female coupling are/is axially displaceable in relation to the threads (3) of the male and female couplings. With the axial displacement of the cone a valve component (6) is automatically opened or closed in relation to the flow channel (7) when the male and female couplings are coupled or uncoupled.

The throttle component, such as a sieve or a throttle mouthpiece, can be moved vertically to a part above the water surface in order to regulate the optimal thrust or pressure force for driving the craft forward.

The container includes a plate comprising a layer of cardboard or plastic which has three parts. The first part (12) comprises the closure device which, via a bending line, is separated from the second part (14), which incorporates the inlet aperture. The third part (18), via a tear indication, is connected with the second part. The third part (18), via wire or strip-shaped components (19), is con...

Between the rings (6,7) is a sealed chamber (8) which under the effect of pressure presses the rings apart in order to lock them between stops (4,5) and against the shaft component (3) by means of friction. - This makes possible the staged rotation clockwise or anti-clockwise of the shaft component by means of an activation component (9) coupled to at least the one ring (6, 7).
