Fluid from a producing well is accumulated in an accumulator (10) and allowed to separate into free water, a water-continuous phase and an oil-continuous phase; the separated fluid flows through a monitor (30) having electrodes (104-106;152-157) exposed to the fluid; a power source (125) provides an AC voltage and current to the electrodes and provides an injection voltage signal (Vi) and an injec...

A method and apparatus for the production of iron carbide in a shaft furnace, by reacting a carbon containing reducing gas as the process gas with particulate metal oxide material for an extended residence time at low temperature.

FIELD: textile industry. SUBSTANCE: material has multiplicity of thread-like filament bunches arranged between and intersecting with nodes. Bunches and nodes define patterns of square windows. Each filament bunch has filament segments which are compacted and compressed. Filament segments of bunches are extending in parallel one with another. Entangled portion 54 with filaments tending to turn in c...

A control device for an automobile has at least one sensor (8) for detecting an operational state of the automobile. An output from the sensor is applied to a sample and hold circuit (11) which is adapted to provide a time displaced output to a hierarchical group of neural elements (13). The neural elements operate upon said time displaced signals by varying the weighting of the signals and/or thr...

CONSTITUTION:Compressed air is fed from an air feed path 14b formed on the untwisting nozzle block 14 of a splicer, and swirl air str...

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve an accurate and easier operation of a pump by enabling rotary operation of an engine watching a pointer, keeps the apparatus from growing larger along with a higher visibility by using a planet gear mechanism and make a throttle governor mechanism compact by combining a rotary solenoid and a worm decelerator. SOLUTION: A pointer 2a indicating the degree of rotation...

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a saturation facility capable of significantly decreasing the amount of highly pure water to be used without mixing impurities such as floating solids in a fuel gas. SOLUTION: This saturation facility is provided with a multistep contact tower 12 to pass a fuel gas from the lower side to the upper side through as to bring the fuel gas into a gas-liquid contact with...

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To effectively remove solid components collected by a centrifugal solid-liquid separator without providing washing time. SOLUTION: Rotating blades 8 are installed in a separating vessel 3 through a rotating blade fixing disc 9, and between the rotating blade fixing disc 9 and the inner upper surface of the separating vessel 3, a bearing mechanism 10 is installed. On the inner...

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve comfortableness of a driver under vehicle-to-vehicle distance control. SOLUTION: When vehicle-to-vehicle distance data is inputted (step 201), relative speed is computed from change in this vehicle-to-vehicle distance data (step 204), and a basic acceleration/deceleration ratio is computed from the difference between the present vehicle-to-vehicle distance and targ...

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a constant speed travel device provided with vehicle-to- vehicle distance adjusting function that can prevent erroneous detection. SOLUTION: When vehicle-to-vehicle distance date is inputted (step 201), the dispersion of this vehicle-to-vehicle distance data is obtained (step 202). When the dispersion is small, relative speed is computed from the change of vehicle-...

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To secure the stability of the turning attitude of a vehicle, to reduce the load to an engine and to prevent the occurrence of engine stalling and the damage of a catalyst by suppressing the control of engine output reduction of an attitude control means by a control correcting means when the cold state of the engine is detected. SOLUTION: The cold state of an engine is judge...

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the change of braking force when an automatic brake mode is switched to a manual brake mode via the braking action of a driver by delaying the switching timing to the manual brake mode from the start timing of the braking action. SOLUTION: A control unit judges whether a brake switch 13 is turned on or not via the depressing action of a brake pedal 101 during the im...

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To ensure a safety operation and improve equipment protection and reliability by sufficiently preventing a flash occurring around an exhaust gas heat exchanger at a start/stop time and emergency stop time of a plant. SOLUTION: A generating plant comprises a pressurized fluidized bed boiler 2 generating steam, a steam turbine 8 drive by the steam generated therein, a gas turbi...
