An apparatus and a method for controlling oilfield production to improve efficiency includes a remote sensing unit that is placed within a subsurface formation, an antenna structure for transmitting power and communicating signals to the remote sensing unit and for receiving communication signals from the remote sensor, a casing joint having nonconductive "windows" for allowing an internally loca...

The method for separating a profiled foil (5) is carried out using a rotating separation foil (1) which forms a planar surface with a circular periphery (11). The separation foil is rotated (1a) about the circle center (10) and in the plane (10a), the foil plane, which is spanned by the surface. The periphery is brought into contact (15) with the profiled foil by the execution of a relative moveme...

For implementing an anthropomorphic visual telepresence system with hig h resolution and low loop latency a sequential colour video loop is provided. A sequential colour camera sequentially captures colour images, each captured image consisting of a portion of a single colour component, and provides information as separate colour information relating to portions of the sequentially sensed colour i...

A resin-impregnated endless belt for a long nip press or calender of the shoe type, or for other papermaking and paper-processing applications, has a base support structure which includes coated elements having a coating of a first polymeric resin material. The base support structure itself may be woven or braided from yarns among which are included coated yarns. The base support structure may al...

The present invention relates to an arrangement to produce expert services such as health and medical services to be realized in such a manner that user (P) registers with suitable means (SRD) signals, which are transmitted via suitable communication means (CD), such as phone, e.g. mobile phone using telecommunication network (TCS) to service unit selected by P, such as personal databank (PDB) of ...

The present invention relates to a medical device for placing an intravascular stent at a preselected location within a vessel of the human body, and more particularly, relates to a catheter having a distal tip for retaining the stent in order to transport the stent to a preselected position within the vessel and a control mechanism for releasing the stent at the preselected position.

An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for telecommunication applications such as ASDL/VDSL UMTS/GPRS wherein the conversion is realized in current mode instead of voltage mode. The power consumption is thereby reduced and the converter is adapted to be used in (low voltage) battery operated products. The structure of the converter is also simplified because summing of currents is easier than summin...

Novel BOG, CAN, EUO, FER, MAS, MEL, MFI, MFS, MTT, MTW, NES, STI, TON, VET framework adsorbents and mixtures thereof containing about 0% to 100% lithium monovalent cations, about 0% to 100% divalent cations and about 0% to about 100% trivalent Canons for preferential adsorption of nitrogen from gas mixtures, especially in a pressure swing adsorption process.

A method for the disposal of biosolids, such as municipal sewage waste, comprising injecting the biosolids into a subsurface injection formation. The method ca n include recovering methane generated from the degradation of the biosolids.

Watch (1) including time display means (8; 10) covered by a crystal (4). Th is watch includes an interface device for controlling a computer cursor. It for ms a contactless watch-mouse. For this purpose, a plurality of touch sensitive sensors are arranged so that their sensitive pads (16) are supported at least partially by the crystal (4). The sensitive pads are arranged in particular in the shap...

The bag (1) comprises an environmentally friendly plastic material with one or more adhesive layers on the outside of the bag close to its mouth, which are covered with release liner (3). Removing the liner enables the bag to fixed in place inside the plughole, collecting waste but allowing water to drain away through holes (2) in its base.

The guard provides a lateral support (1) which is secured to the load surface of the cage or trolley, and which can be folded down and then slid under the load surface. A locking device (2) is used to fix it in its raised or lowered position.

Is provided a resonant cavity type light emitting diode having excellent humidity durability and a light output unsaturated even several 10 mA., which is suitable for mass production. The semiconductor light emitting element has a resonator formed by one set of multi-layer reflecting films disposed at a constant distance on a GaAs substrate inclined at an angle of not less than 2 degrees in the di...
