  • Patent number: 7484892
    Abstract: A wheel bearing assembly including inner and outer bearing rings, one of which is intended to rotate and the other of which is intended to remain stationary. The assembly also includes two sets of rolling elements between the rings and in angular contact with tracks defined by the rings. Each set of rolling elements is spaced in the direction of the axis of rotation with each set of rolling elements retained by one of two cages. The assembly further includes a sensing arrangement having at least two annular encoders with alternate north and south magnetic poles and at least two sensors operably associated with the encoders and each serving to provide electrical signals generated by the passage of the poles of the arranged encoder. One of the encoders is mounted on the rotatable one of the bearing rings. The other encoder is mounted on one of the cages and each of the sensors and encoders is disposed axially, between the sets of rolling elements.

  • Patent number: 6474413
    Abstract: A process for the selective and controlled reduction of permeability to water in oil-bearing formations made up of sandstone or limestone, the process comprising the injection of a slug of polymer aqueous solutions having a polarity opposite to the polarity of the rock, followed by the injection of a spacing slug of alkaline halide and then a fresh slug of polymer aqueous solution, the polarity of which is opposite to the polarity of the first polymer slug, and then a slug of aqueous solution of trivalent metal crosslinking agent to effect the partial crosslinking of the polymer charges, the polymer layers being successively added until the injection pressure of the polymer aqueous solutions show that the desired Residual Resistance Factor RRF was attained, and well production may be resumed.

  • Publication number: 20020139903
    Abstract: “A DEVICE FOR DETECTING DERAILMENT OF TRAINS, to be attached to the car, that acts promptly in the event of derailment, fully or emergently actuating the brake system of the train; said operating device being provided only with mechanical and pneumatic signals, not requiring electric and/or radio signals. The device is comprised of a general piping (20) connected to a so-called fuse element (10), through a tubing (11); the fuse (10) being defined by a blind flange that in principle blocks the air flow; a puncture (12) being provided in the interior of said fuse, and its body being machined in such a way that a suitable region (4) for the occurrence of a disruption and the consequent fast relief of the air present in the general plumbing (20) is created.
