  • Publication number: 20170046648
    Abstract: A method includes a first step where one determines for each person of an organization a category to which he belongs taking account of his participation level in the deployment of a change, then values representative of a common point existing between a chosen person and the other persons of the organization, and a second step where one determines a group of recommendations of action(s) to make to this chosen person taking account of the category to which he belongs, then for each recommendation of action(s) of the group one determines among persons having an important relationship therewith a sub-group of persons having the highest values, then one estimates for each recommendation of action(s) of the group a score as a function of the values associated with the persons belonging to the sub-group, then one selects among the recommendations of action(s) of the group that having the highest score in order that it is made to the chosen person.

  • Patent number: 7140238
    Abstract: Method for determining the composition of a homogeneous fluid, for example a petroleum effluent on flow, an emulsion consisting of water and oil, or a foam consisting of oil and gas. The attenuation and the phase shift of microwave beams that have traversed a fluid of unknown composition with paths of different lengths are measured (stage A). Two equations approaching the measured values are determined, the first equation giving a relation between the attenuation and the length of the path, the second equation giving a relation between the phase shift and the length of the path (stage C). Then the composition of the fluid is determined by comparing the two equations with pairs of equations stored in form of databases, each pair of equations corresponding to a fluid of known composition (stage D).

  • Patent number: 7135872
    Abstract: A method of determining the composition of a multiphase fluid, such as a flowing petroleum effluent, an emulsion of water and oil, or a foam of oil and gas is disclosed. A first part comprises determining a model expressing the attenuation and the phase shift of a microwave beam as a function of the volume fractions and the permittivities of the various phases. Then, a second part comprises determining the volume fractions of the various phases that make up a multiphase fluid by minimizing the distance between the measured attenuation and phase shift pair and the attenuation and phase shift pair given by the previously determined model.
