Optical detection system, device, and method utilizing optical matching

An optical detection system and method detects movement of an optical pointing device in a data processing environment. The system works with any surface than can diffusely scatter a collimated beam from a coherent light source. Specifically, the system comprises a coherent light source and an optical sensing assembly. The optical sensing assembly comprises a plurality of photosensor arrays and a plurality of optical elements. Each photosensor array includes pixels of a particular size and shape. Each optical element has an artificially limited aperture and is associated, through optical matching, with a respective photosensor array. The coherent light source generates a collimated beam that is diffusely reflected off of the surface. The optical sensing assembly receives the diffusely reflected, or scattered, collimated beam and passes it through the artificially limited apertures of the optical elements to the associated corresponding photosensor array. Passing the scattered light through the optical elements generates speckle images that appear on the pixels, of the photosensor arrays. Based on the pixel shape, a pixel value associated with the speckle image provides a speckle image data signal. When there is translation of the pointing device, a new set of speckle images, each reassembling to a translated version of the previous speckle image, are generated and another speckle image data signal is generated. The new and the previous speckle image data signals are then used in a motion detection analysis to determine the points of the two data signals that give a displacement value.

Process and device for producing metal powder

InactiveUS6334884B1High fine grain fractionPromote resultsMetal powderMolten metal
Process and a device for producing metal powders from molten metal. The process includes the provision of molten metal in a metallurgical vessel having a nozzle element, the nozzle element being directed into an atomization chamber associated with the metallurgical vessel. The molten metal is allowed to flow through the nozzle element of the metallurgical vessel into the atomization chamber whereby a molten metal stream is fed into the atomization chamber. At least three successive gas beams are directed at the molten metal stream inside the atomization chamber, the at least three gas beams being oriented in different directions. Thereby the molten metal stream is broken down into droplets which subsequently freeze into grains that are collected. The device includes a metallurgical vessel for holding molten metal provided with a nozzle element for discharging molten metal from the metallurgical vessel in the form of a molten metal stream and an atomization chamber in association with the metallurgical vessel for receiving the molten metal stream discharged from the nozzle element. It also includes at least three gas nozzle elements for providing at least three gas beams of different orientation and directed at different points of the molten metal stream inside the atomization chamber, at least one of the at least three gas nozzle elements being capable of providing a gas beam which deflects and widens and / or divides the molten metal stream entering the atomization chamber; and at least one other gas nozzle element being capable of providing a gas beam which breaks down a widened and thinned and / or divided molten metal stream into droplets.

Well testing system

A well testing system and well testing method is described which can be operated as a closed system with no production of hydrocarbons outside the well or gas can be separated and flared at surface giving minimal environmental impact with the liquid hydrocarbon being re-injected. This is achieved by providing a string with at least two well conduits which may be arranged in a concentric or non-concentric parallel configuration. One conduit is used to produce formation fluids to surface or to produce / store unrepresentative initial flow products and the other conduit is used to store formation fluid. The storage conduit can be filled from the top (surface) or the bottom of the well. In a preferred arrangement a valve is provided between the storage conduit and the well annulus for well pressure control, and a shut-in or test valve, which is controllable from surface, is disposed in the non-storage production conduit. A flow control valve is provided at the lower end of the string or at surface and the size of the valve opening is controllable to allow formation fluid to enter the storage string at a controlled rate, so that the formation fluid flowing time is increased to maximise the radius of investigation into the formation to a similar order of magnitude of existing production tests and extended well tests, which are typically two to three times the order of magnitude of the radius of investigation of a wireline formation test. Other aspects and embodiments of the invention are described.
