The invention discloses an anticorrosion wear-resistant coated heat-insulation oil pipe composed of an oil pipe body, an anticorrosion wear-resistant layer inside the oil-pipe body, a heat insulation layer outside the oil pipe body, and an anticorrosion protecting layer outside the heat insulation layer. An inner pipe is fixedly nested in the oil pipe body, an outer heat insulation layer uniformly wraps the outer wall of the middle section of the oil pipe body, and an outer anticorrosion protecting layer wraps the outer wall of the heat insulation layer. Another heat insulation layer wraps a connecting hoop and an upper operating section and a lower operating section which are connected with the connecting hoop of the oil pipe body, and a heat-insulation layer protecting steel casing is mounted outside the referred heat insulation layer. By the anticorrosion wear-resistant coated heat-insulation oil pipe, loss of own temperature of crude oil when flowing from a well bottom to a wellhead is effectively reduced, and flow state of the crude oil in a wellhole is improved. The problems about an eccentric wear of rod pipes of the oil pipe, corrosion resistance inside the oil pipe, scaling, wax precipitation, corrosion resistance outside the oil pipe are solved, friction resistance among the rod pipes of a rod pumped well is reduced, finally, energy is saved, emission is reduced, damages to the rod pipes are reduced, downhole operation load is reduced, and exploration cost of oil is greatly reduced.

A low orbit optical imaging satellite has a long thin satellite body housing an optical telescope arrangement. A major part of the telescope arrangement has its optical axis roughly parallel to the direction of elongation and includes a mirror arrangement deployed to direct a line of sight of the optical telescope out sideways from the direction of elongation. The transverse dimensions of the satellite body are preferably minimized to be close to the optical aperture dimension of the optical telescope, thereby providing a high ballistic coefficient and high orbit lifetime for orbits in the low thermosphere.

A method for modifying environmental conditions is disclosed herein. The method includes the step of deploying a magnetic climate control material to a local area in one of the thermosphere and the exosphere. The magnetic climate control material deflects and absorbs rays of the sun. The magnetic climate control material affects temperature of a local area below the magnetic climate control material and also global temperatures. The method also includes the ability for moving, manipulating, or removal of this ring.

The invention belongs to the technical field of space physics and discloses a thermosphere atmospheric density correction method. Due to the fact that a thermosphere atmospheric density calculating mode is selected, a kernel regressing method is adopted for calculating thermosphere atmospheric density errors calculated by the thermosphere atmospheric density mode, and therefore the thermosphere atmospheric density is corrected finally. According to the thermosphere atmospheric density correction method, the thermosphere atmospheric density precision is improved, and therefore the orbit determining precision and the forecasting precision of low orbit spacecrafts represented by manned spacecrafts are improved.

Liquid hydrocarbons are removed from waste pits where they exist in a free state, via physical or mechanical methods (with heat or otherwise). The pits are blinded and closed once the areas altered by confinement of the selected material have been cleaned, using clean granular material from nearby quarries or gravel pits. The bituminous mixture or liquid oil-bearing material extracted from the pits is filitered and stabilized, using heat or chemicals, by means of a Portable Crude Stabilizer Tank. After filtering thick emulsion contaminated solid debris, the remaining oil-bearing mass is preheated and immediately liquefied in a tank, using preheating coils and, optionally, injecting chemicals. Final filtration and breaking the oil-bearing emulsion down into its components occurs in a closed horizontal or tilted receptacle, lined with thermal insulation, with diameters ranging form 43 to 86 inches, and a total length of around 15, 30 or 45 feet (varying in accordance with the required treatment speed). The receptacle operates at different internal pressures, starting with atmospheric pressure, and at temperatures ranging from ambient temperature to a few degrees below steam temperature, so as not to exceed the boiling point.
