    摘要: Sacrificial agents employed in methods of obtaining oil from rock formations by surfactant flooding comprising oxidized and/or chlorinated lignin and lignin-like derivatives obtained form inexpensive and readily available sources. In one form of the invention such derivatives present in E-stage wood pulp bleach plant effluent are concentrated by the use of macroporous resins, reverse osmosis or membrane dialysis. In another form of the invention, new sources of the derivatives are provided from forest industry by-products. In a further form of the invention, the derivatives are complexed with iron which significantly improves the sacrificial agent activity of the derivatives. Such sacrificial agents reduce the amount of expensive surfactant required in the oil recovery method.

    摘要: An electric cable having a core made of insulated conductors disposed within a polymeric sheath. Voids within the core, between the conductors, are at least partially filled in the unused cable with a mixture comprising untreated calcium carbonate and a water-attracting polymer able to form a gel on contact with water without swelling. The cables are made waterproof by the presence of the mixture, which is cheaper than prior mixtures but as effective.

    摘要: A negative differential phase shifter includes a first uncoupled transmission line, wherein the first uncoupled transmission line has a length of λ/2 at a center frequency; a first coupled transmission line, wherein the first coupled transmission line is operatively connected to the first uncoupled transmission line; and a second uncoupled transmission line, wherein the second uncoupled transmission line is operatively connected to the first coupled transmission line, and the second uncoupled transmission line is operatively connected to the first uncoupled transmission line. A method of implementing a negative differential phase shifter includes operatively connecting a first coupled transmission line to a first uncoupled transmission line, wherein the first uncoupled transmission line has a length of λ/2 at a center frequency; operatively connecting a second uncoupled transmission line to the first coupled transmission line; and operatively connecting the second uncoupled transmission line to the first uncoupled transmission line.

    摘要: A method and apparatus of reinforcing a cable includes wrapping a flexible wire around at least a portion of an external surface of the cable, and soldering the flexible wire to the cable, thereby positioning the flexible wire with respect to the cable. The portion of the external surface of the cable wrapped with the flexible wire may be disposed between the cable and a connector, or represent an entire length of the cable. Wrapping the flexible wire may involve wrapping the flexible wire around a portion of the external surface of the cable such that coils of the flexible wire are disposed apart from each other, and sliding the coils together such that the coils of the flexible wire are touching each other.
