  • Laws and Legal Documents

CONT

There was also a public bill introduced in the mid-30s dealing with a series of particular oil and gas leases that had been entered into by Prudential Trust on behalf of an oil company. That act has always been considered as a public act, but it varied the terms of those particular leases affecting only the lessees and the lessors of those leases. [That public bill] was introduced after pressure had been brought on the government, but not by way of petition.

CONT

Le PTP [Partenariat transpacifique] élargit également les motifs de contestation en vertu du RDIE [règlement des différends entre investisseurs et États], allant au-delà de l'application à l'égard des lois d'intérêt public. Si le Canada a un contrat avec une multinationale d'un pays étranger, un différend concernant le libellé du contrat est normalement réglé en fonction des modalités du contrat. Le PTP permettra dorénavant aux multinationales de faire des réclamations au titre du RDIE, accroissant grandement les risques pour les contribuables canadiens.

OBS

Selon certains auteurs, le terme «loi publique» est fautif, car la loi n'est pas publique, elle est d'intérêt pour le public.

OBS

Les lois d'intérêt public portent sur des questions d'intérêt général qui s'appliquent à l'ensemble de la population ou à une partie importante de celle-ci.

CONT

An energy performance contract(EPC) is a performance-based financing mechanism that enables a client organization to leverage the technical and financial capacity of an energy service company(ESCO) to design, build, and secure financing to improve energy management practices and/or retrofits within a facility or group of facilities. This contracting model is a low-risk, turnkey service that delivers guaranteed energy and cost savings. The ESCO assumes some, or all, of the initial capital costs, and the client repays the ESCO over a specified period from the resulting utility cost savings. After the contract closes, the client receives ongoing savings from energy, GHG [greenhouse gas] emissions, and utility costs.

Un contrat de performance énergétique (CPE) est un mécanisme de financement fondé sur la performance qui permet à une organisation cliente de tirer parti des capacités techniques et financières d'une ESE [entreprise de services énergétiques] pour créer et obtenir un financement dans le but d'améliorer les pratiques de gestion de l'énergie ou de réaliser un projet de modernisation dans un bâtiment ou un groupe de bâtiments. Ce modèle de contrat est un service clé en main à faible risque qui permet de garantir des économies d'énergie et de coûts. L'ESE prend en charge une partie ou la totalité des coûts d'investissement initiaux, et le client rembourse l'ESE sur une période déterminée grâce aux économies réalisées sur les coûts des services publics. Après la conclusion du contrat, le client continue de profiter d'économies d'énergie et de coûts des services publics ainsi que d'une réduction des émissions de GES [gaz à effet de serre].

intelligent well technology: Technology that combines sensors and remote control to detect production problems and solve them without costly well intervention.

OBS

Optimizing reservoir performance with intelligent well technology. ... IWT is a key building block of real time reservoir management. By placing sensors and control valves at the reservoir face, teams of petroleum engineers can monitor reservoir and well performance in real time, analyze data, make decisions and modify the completion without physical intervention, to optimize asset performance.

OBS

... with advancements in material science, electronics, and data acquisition and processing, we have seen the use of sensors in oil well production turn in to what is now being referred to as "smart-well technology." With sensors located downhole (below ground), above ground, in the storage tanks, and even on the pump motors to detect low frequency vibrations that can indicate potential wear, "smart" is exactly what these wells are becoming. ... There are a variety of sensors currently used for downhole monitoring ranging from fiber optic to acoustic to quartz crystal sensors.

A large city of Alberta, located on the Bow River, in the southern part of the province, at the meeting of the Canadian prairies and the Rocky Montains foothills. The city started as a trading post(fur trade, bison hunting and illicit-whisky trading) with the construction of a fort named Fort Calgary by the North-West Mounted Police at the confluence of the Bow and Elbow rivers in 1876.(The word Calgary, of Gaelic origin, means "bay farm. ") "Fort Calgary" is linked to Canada by the railway in 1883; the Canadian Pacific Railway(CPR) Company laid out its town site where the city now lies. Incorporated under the name "Calgary" in 1884, the town received the city status in 1893. Financial centre of Western Canada and headquarters of Canada's oil and natural gas industries, Calgary, host of the 1988 Winter Olympic Games, is the fastest growing Canadian city in the West.

In Canada (with seven exceptions as of December 31, 2004), the name of an inhabited place has the same form in English and French, which form is listed in the Gazetteer of the province or territory in accordance with the inscription in the Incorporation Act of the entity. This rule also applies for the historic designation of an inhabited place, even if the designation is not or no longer gazetteered.

OBS

The "city of Calgary" is the geographical entity: "On pictures, the city of Calgary can be seen with the panoramic Rocky Mountains in the background," while the "City of Calgary" refers to its governing body or administrative instance.

Grande ville de l'Alberta située sur la rivière Bow, dans la partie sud de la province, à la rencontre des prairies canadiennes et du contrefort des montagnes Rocheuses. On l'appelle communément «la ville de Calgary», bien qu'elle ait le statut de cité en raison de son caractère politique et de l'importance de sa population. La ville doit sa naissance au commerce (commerce des fourrures, chasse au bison et contrebande de whisky) avec la construction, en 1876, du fort Calgary par la Police à cheval du Nord-Ouest au confluent des rivières Bow et Elbow. En 1883, l'agglomération de «Fort Calgary» est liée au Canada par chemin de fer; en 1884, la compagnie Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) Company déménage ses installations sur le site actuel de la ville. Incorporée sous le nom de «Calgary» en 1884, la municipalité reçoit le statut de cité en 1893. Centre financier de l'Ouest canadien et siège des industries du pétrole et du gaz naturel, Calgary, est la ville canadienne de l'Ouest qui connaît la plus forte croissance.

  • Radio Waves
CONT

Inside the radio-wave lamp. An electronic oscillator linked to a small, coiled antenna produces radio waves much like a radio station. Electrons in atoms of mercury vapor absorb the radio waves, which excite the electrons to a higher "energy state". The electrons emit photons, or packets, of invisible ultraviolet light. A phosphor coating on the inside of the bulb absorbs the ultraviolet light, exciting electrons, which then emit visible light.

CONT

Last week a small California company announced that next year, it plans to market the "E-(for electronic) Lamp, "a bulb that will be completely interchangeable with incandescents, use a quarter as much energy-and last a decade or more. The secret is a tiny radio-frequency generator in each bulb, transmitting energy to a surrounding cloud of mercury gas and in turn to the fluorescent coating. There are some 1. 5 billion light sockets in the United States; each incandescent that is replaced by an E-Lamp would save an estimated ton of carbon dioxide from electrical generating stations over the life of the bulb, a small step toward reducing emissions of greenhouse gases.

OBS

Since the electronic components last indefinitely, the bulb should fail only when the phosphor deteriorates (or someone knocks the lamp off the table). And instead of burning out with a "pop," the new bulbs will gradually become less bright. Someday lamps and fixtures may have the electronic components built into their base, and consumers will just slip on a cheap, replaceable glass jacket containing the mercury and phosphor.

A company in the United States has recently won the 1981 Kirkpatrick Chemical Engineering Achievement award for an effort related to reverse osmosis.... The company claims that this new "Prism" separator is particularly suited to the splitting off of such fast-permeating gases as hydrogen and/or carbon dioxide... While other more conventional processes for gas separations such as cryogenic systems, pressure-swing absorption and absorption in liquids are relatively energy-intensive, the new reverse osmosis process uses very little energy.
