The placement of snow fences near buildings and the swirling action of wind around buildings results in peculiar snow drifting habits. For instance, do not attach windbreak fences directly to the front corner of an open front shed; allow for a "swirl chamber"(an offset of the fence from the building where blowing snow will accumulate away from the front of the shed). 2, record 1, English, - swirl%20chamber

Combustion Override Split Production Horizontal Well Process(COSH). The main feature of this process, developed by the Alberta Research Council(ARC), is implementation of gravity drainage using a basal horizontal well in a combustion process. The configuration of different wells is critical to the operation of this process. A linear configuration of vertical air injection wells is drilled and completed in the upper portion of the reservoir. A horizontal oil production well is completed in the bottom of the reservoir, aligned and positioned beneath the vertical injection wells. The reservoir is prepared for ignition and combustion is initiated at each of the injection wells. A hot fluid-transmissive chamber is formed around each of the injection wells as combustion proceeds. Combustion gas communication is established with the gas production wells. Heated oil and water, produced by the combustion front in each hot chamber, drains under the effect of gravity and is brought to the surface through the horizontal production well. 3, record 5, English, - combustion%20override%20split%20production%20horizontal%20well%20process

Procédé de récupération d'huile lourde par injection d'air mettant en œuvre un puits d'injection d'air, un puits de production horizontal et des puits de production verticaux pour évacuer l'azote après combustion de l'oxygène de l'air.

Ce procédé est fondé sur le principe de la combustion in-situ par injection d'air. L'allumage de l'air provoque la combustion de l'oxygène contenu dans l'air au contact de l'huile qui, elle, est oxydée. Par rapport à un procédé conventionnel de combustion où le front de combustion se propage entre deux puits distants horizontalement de plusieurs dizaines de mètres, l'idée proposée ici est de voir se créer un front de combustion qui se propage de haut en bas dans un réservoir entre un puits vertical situé en haut du réservoir dans la couche imprégnée d'huile et un puits horizontal situé en bas du réservoir. L'air étant composé d'azote et l'oxygène, quand la combustion a lieu, elle a pour effet de voir disparaître l'oxygène qui réagit avec l'huile pour donner une huile oxydée, du CO2 et de l'eau. Reste l'azote qui par gravité va rester sous forme de chapeau de gaz (ou «gas cap») dans la partie supérieure du réservoir. Pour évacuer cet azote et éviter qu'il ne fasse cesser la combustion, il est proposé de le produire par des puits verticaux situés latéralement par rapport aux deux puits déjà cités. Ce procédé a été testé au laboratoire mais n'a pas été validé sur champ.

Les différentes techniques de production de brut lourd peuvent être soit du type «primaire» soit du type «amélioré». Suivant les caractéristiques de l'huile et de la roche réservoir l'une ou l'autre sera employée. La production primaire [...] est envisageable pour les huiles lourdes grâce à la technologie dite du «puits horizontal». Cette technique permet en effet d'améliorer considérablement la productivité d'un puits et d'augmenter le taux de récupération ultime. Elle est utilisée au Venezuela pour produire «à froid» (sans réchauffage de l'huile) les bruts extra-lourds de l'Orénoque de façon rentable. Elle n'est cependant pas adaptée aux formations non consolidées où la production de sable associé à l'huile est relativement importante. 2, record 5, French, - combustion%20in%20situ%20avec%20puits%20de%20production%20horizontal

Les conditions qui règnent sur Terre ont une incidence limitative sur la taille et la qualité de plusieurs cristaux de protéines que l'on y fait croître. Cependant, grâce aux conditions de microgravité de l'espace, on estime pouvoir faire croître des cristaux plus gros et mieux structurés. L'installation perfectionnée de cristallisation de protéines est la première à combiner trois méthodes distinctes pour réaliser la cristallisation. D'abord, la diffusion liquide-liquide où, une fois que Columbia sera en orbite, on laisse diffuser lentement l'une dans l'autre une solution protéinique et une solution saline initialement séparées par une barrière tampon. Ensuite, la dialyse qui consiste en la séparation d'une solution de protéines et une solution saline au moyen d'une membrane. Enfin, la diffusion de vapeur suivant laquelle des cristaux se forment à l'intérieur d'une gouttelette de solution protéinique tandis que le solvant contenu dans la gouttelette se diffuse dans un réservoir. 3, record 15, French, - enceinte%20perfectionn%C3%A9e%20de%20cristallisation%20des%20prot%C3%A9ines

This fibre optic viewing head extension is particularly useful for solving the sighting problems associated with tilting or movable burners. The flame envelope from this type of burner can be tilted from a horizontal position up or down as much as 30 degrees. It would be impossible to follow this flame pattern with a fixed sighting through the wind-box. Welding the tip guide (lens end) of this viewing head extension to the movable air compartment nozzle solves this problem. This viewing head extension can also be used for those applications where it is impossible to find a clear unobstructed view of the flame using a standard sight pipe. Here again the viewing head extension is mounted inside the furnace for a clear unobstructed view of the flame. 4, record 16, English, - sighting%20pipe

The "Sun-Mar" three chamber system... The composting chamber. "Sun-Mar" engineers found that the ideal conditions for fast, odorless composting could only be provided in a rotating drum,(we call it the Bio-drum). The Bio-drum is uniquely able to keep the compost completely oxygenated, mixed, moist and warm, and so provide perfect conditions for fast, aerobic(and therefore odorless) composting. Waste enters the composting drum through an entry port located in the top of the Bio-drum. By turning the handle on the front of the unit, the drum rotates, and the compost tumbles,(assisted by a mixing baffle) thereby thoroughly and completely oxygenating and mixing every part of the compost. The Bio-drum is fitted with a door which closes automatically to keep the waste inside as the drum rotates. After turning, a lock automatically maintains the Bio-drum in a top dead centre position ready to receive new material. To ensure that the compost cannot get saturated, a screen at the rear of the drum filters any excess liquid directly into the evaporating chamber. At the same time, by protecting the compost from direct heat, the Bio-drum keeps the compost uniformly moist. Lastly, the Bio-drum has the volume to hold the necessary mass of material to retain the natural heat developed in the core of the compost. Insulation on the outside of the drum prevents heat loss. The warm, moist, oxygen rich conditions in the Bio-drum allow the microbes to quickly break down the waste into its essential minerals. When the drum gets 2/3 full, some compost is extracted into the finishing drawer. This is done simply by pulling the drum lock, and rotating the drum backwards. Now, the drum door remains open, and compost falls into the second chamber;-the compost finishing drawer. 1, record 17, English, - composting%20chamber

Le système à trois compartiments «Sun-Mar». [...] Le compartiment à compostage. Les ingénieurs «Sun-Mar» ont découvert que les conditions idéales d'une décomposition rapide et inodore ne peuvent être assurées que dans un tambour rotatif (que nous appelons tambour «Bio-drum»), dans lequel il est possible d'oxygéner et de mélanger le compost complètement et de le maintenir humide et chaud. Les déchets entrent dans la partie supérieure du Bio-drum. En tournant la manivelle du tambour, située sur le devant du cabinet, le compost culbute (action favorisée par la plaque de mélange). Ce culbutage permet l'oxygénation et le mélange complet de la matière à composter. Le tambour est muni d'une porte qui se ferme automatiquement pour retenir les déchets pendant la rotation du tambour. Par la suite, un verrou maintient automatiquement le tambour Bio-drum en position pour accepter d'autres déchets. Pour éviter la saturation du compost, une grille est située à l'arrière du tambour qui filtre et dirige vers l'aire d'évaporation tout liquide excédentaire. En protégeant le compost contre la chaleur directe, le Bio-drum maintient également un degré uniforme d'humidité. En dernier lieu, le Bio-drum peut contenir la masse nécessaire à conserver la chaleur naturelle développée au centre du compost. L'isolation à l'extérieur du tambour évite la perte de chaleur vers l'extérieur. Quand celui-ci est rempli aux 2/3, on transfère une partie du compost dans le tiroir de finition. À cette fin, il suffit de tirer le verrou du tambour et de tourner celui-ci dans le sens inverse des aiguilles d'une montre. Maintenant, la porte du tambour reste ouverte et le compost tombe dans le tiroir de finition. 1, record 17, French, - compartiment%20%C3%A0%20compostage
