Patent number: 10551305Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining the origin of a mixture of constituents by spectral analysis. The invention especially relates to a method for determining the concentration and origin of raw gases and/or crude oils in a mixing zone following mixing by the transport of said raw gases and/or crude oils that come from at least two different sources of extraction, said method comprising a specific spectral analysis.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2015Date of Patent: February 4, 2020Assignee: TOPNIR SYSTEMS SASInventors: Didier Lambert, Claude Saint Martin, Miguel Sanchez, Bernard Ribero

Patent number: 10241040Abstract: The invention relates to a method for characterizing a target product, including the steps of: (a) forming a bank of spectral data comprising samples; (b) having measured characteristics and spectra; (c) performing a spectral analysis of the target product and comparing the spectrum obtained with the spectral data in the data bank; (d) identifying the “near neighbor” points of the target product; and (e) performing a topological calculation of the characteristic of the target product as a function of the corresponding characteristics of the near neighbor points, based on a weighting linked to the inverse of the distance between the target product and the near neighbor points.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2014Date of Patent: March 26, 2019Assignee: Topnir Systems SASInventors: Didier Lambert, Claude Saint Martin, Miguel Sanchez, Bernard Ribero

Patent number: 10228708Abstract: The invention relates to a method for optimizing a mixture of components for the production of a target product by means of spectral analysis, preferably by means of spectral analysis (topological) in the near infrared region (NIR). The aim of the method is to produce a target product by batch mixing and/or continuous mixing of the “n” components thereof, on the basis of different flows of said components with controlled concentrations and/or flow rates, said target product requiring a set of ranges of values of physiocohemical characteristics for the commercialization thereof. According to the method, a batch mixer or a continuous mixer is supplied with said components with controlled concentrations and/or flow rates.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2015Date of Patent: March 12, 2019Assignee: TOPNIR SYSTEMS SASInventors: Didier Lambert, Claude Saint Martin, Miguel Sanchez, Bernard Ribero
