Publication number: 20200284765Abstract: An assembly for monitoring particulate in a production fluid. The assembly supports routing of production fluid through a restriction and to a strategically located detector downstream and adjacent the restriction. Further, the detector incorporates acoustic attenuating features to provide a tailored detection focused on acoustics directly from particulate in the fluid. These features may include the use of a transducer housing with a ribbed profile to achieve the attenuation. Although, other types of attenuating techniques may be employed.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2020Publication date: September 10, 2020Inventors: Rolf Rustad, Jean Francois Noel, Emmanuel Lagrand, Erlend Bjoerndal, Alexandre Lupeau, Cheng-Gang Xie

Publication number: 20070006432Abstract: Needles (47) periodically penetrate into a needling path (1) between a stripper plate (26) and a needling table (24). In the process, the needles describe an elliptical movement by means of which they accompany the textile when they are in penetration phase. The elliptical movement is generated by oscillating-sliding of a rod (38) in a rotating guide (39). The rod (38) is actuated by two crank connecting-rod systems (51a, 51b), the adjustable phase shifting of which defines the horizontal amplitude of the movement of the needles. Use for simplifying elliptical guiding means, reducing plays and air turbulences.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 6, 2005Publication date: January 11, 2007Applicant: ASSELINInventors: Jean-Francois Noel, Eric Potdevin, Francois Louis
