  • Patent number: 9140389
    Abstract: The present invention relates to new graphene-based steel tubes, pipes or risers, whose products are obtained by a method of manufacturing that consists in adding graphene nanosheets, heat treatment, forming tubular geometry and surface finish. In addition to the unique chemical composition based on graphene, with carbon content ranging between 0.01 and 21.0%, these products have the wall thickness between 800 nm and 80 mm (from ultra fine to thick), diameter between 10 and 5000 mm, and having a tensile strength not less than 2000 MPa reaching up to 50 GPa, with far superior features to those obtained by other methods. Such products can be used for petroleum, natural gas and biofuels transportation, including in deepwater submarine riser systems (>1500 m), with direct application in the oil industry.

  • Publication number: 20140148714
    Abstract: Method for automatic online delineation of an electrocardiogram (ECG) bio signal, said method comprising the detection of said bio signal through several leads followed by the combination of those multiple acquisitions into a single root-mean-squared (RMS) curve, said RMS curve being then undergoing a real-time single-lead delineation based on a mathematical processing.

  • Patent number: 8219078
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to methods and systems of transmitting data signals from at least one transmitting terminal with a spatial diversity capability to at least two receiving user terminals, each provided with spatial diversity receiving device. The methods and systems are useful, for example, in communication between terminals, e.g., wireless communication. In certain embodiments, transmission can be between a base station and two or more user terminals, wherein the base station and user terminals are each equipped with more than one antenna.
