BALAYAGE CLASSIQUE [6 records]

Record 1 2016-03-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Oil Production
DEF

The efficiency with which water displaces oil or gas in a water drive oil or gas field.

CONT

In the North Durbank tertiary recovery pilot, gelled polymer treatments were used to correct vertical conformance problems. ... This kind of ... treatment can improve the sweep efficiency of the various chemical processes. Improved sweep efficiency can come from better vertical or areal conformance or from both.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Production pétrolière
DEF

Fraction de l’aire totale du gisement effectivement drainée.

OBS

[...] dans un cas classique le volume de réservoir que l'eau balaie n’ est pas supérieur à 40-45 % du volume total de roche concerné(on dit que le «balayage macroscopique» a une efficacité de 40-45 %). [...] au niveau des pores [...] on constate [...] qu'une importante partie du pétrole [...] reste indéfiniment «piégée» [...] Finalement l'efficacité microscopique de balayage ne dépasse guère 60 % et le taux moyen de récupération par injection d’eau(efficacité macroscopique x efficacité microscopique) 25 %.

CONT

SNOM is the acronym for "scanning near-field optical microscopy," an alternative name for NSOM (near-field scanning optical microscopy). The basic principle of such a kind of technique is quite simple: light passes through a sub-wavelength diameter aperture and illuminates a sample that is placed within its near field, at a distance much less than the wavelength of the light. The resolution achieved is far better than that which conventional optical microscopes can attain.

CONT

Microscopists are now in a position to transfer the refinements of the past 100-year techniques for enhancing contrast and highlighting specific features, such as polarization contrast, immunofluorescence and phase contrast to scanning near-field optical microscopy. With existing scanned-probe microscopes we can "see" the nanometer realm of molecules and microcircuits. As the same technology is applied to optical microscopy, we may eventually come to see that world in the familiar terms of light, shadow and color.

  • Physique atomique
CONT

Ces interactions se produisent à l’échelle moléculaire, c’est pourquoi il est très important d’analyser les propriétés physico-chimiques de la surface à l’échelle atomique et moléculaire. Pour ce faire nous utilisons dans notre groupe les techniques de microscopie à champ proche à balayage : microscopie à effet tunnel (STM), microscopie à force atomique ou effet de force (AFM-SFM), microscopie optique à champ proche à balayage (SNOM).

CONT

L'équipe [...] a réussi à visualiser ce phénomène biologique en recourant à la microscopie optique à balayage à champ proche(NSOM). Cette technologie d’imagerie éclaire la cellule en canalisant la lumière dans une sonde à fibre optique plus petite qu'un micron. La minuscule ouverture de la sonde(guère plus de 50 nanomètres de diamètre) interdit la diffraction des rayons lumineux qui réduit normalement la résolution en microscopie classique.

Campo(s) temático(s)

CONT

El grupo de investigación [...] ha desarrollado un nuevo método de fabricación de nanoagujas localizadas en el interior de muestras de distintos materiales, que presentan un amplio rango de aplicaciones, como la la preparación de muestras para análisis por microscopía electrónica de transmisión (TEM) y transmisión-barrido (STEM), para técnicas de microscopía óptica de barrido de campo cercano, tomografía electrónica y microscopía de sonda atómica.

Record 3 2002-04-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Road Maintenance
  • Urban Furnishings and Equipment
CONT

Full sized self-propelled street sweeper and all related equipment and accessories required for purchase by the city of Glendale. Emphasis on these specifications will be to provide the city with the latest technology in street sweepers related to PM10 compliance, operator friendliness and overall performance and versatility in all sweeping functions. All proposal submittals must include documentation that the machine proposed meet the certification and compliance criteria to SCAQMD rule 1186.

CONT

Authorized use of savings by the Department of Public Works from purchase of a Mobile Street Sweeper for purchase of new four-wheel drive vehicle for road engineering; and approved transfer of funds in the amount of $4,000, as recommended by the Director of Public Works.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Entretien des routes
  • Équipements urbains
CONT

Pour le balayage périodique, il est réalisé tous les quinze jours au printemps puis tous les mois environ. [...] La balayeuse utilisée est une balayeuse automotrice, utilisée avec un balai rotatif métallique tournant à vitesse élevée. L'avancement de la machine doit, dans ce cas, être plus lent qu'en balayage classique.
