Abstract:
Certain exemplary embodiments relate to entertainment systems that interact with users so as to provide for social networking and/or other services. In certain exemplary embodiments, an entertainment system is configured to provide jukebox-related and entertainment system mediated services that are accessible from within and from the outside of the location, coordinating social networking services among and between patrons within and outside of the location and also providing for advertisement opportunities. In certain exemplary embodiments, the entertainment system within a location may serve as and/or be connected to a jukebox. The entertainment system within the location may be connected to one or more client devices, one or more displays, one or more bar-top or hand-held gaming devices, etc., in certain exemplary embodiments. The jukebox-related and entertainment system mediated services may provide mechanisms for enhancing patrons' experiences, creating a sense of ownership and/or belongingness to a connected community of entertainment system users.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a device for the deconfinement of the casing (2) of an ammunition (1) containing an explosive charge (3) that can be initiated by a priming fuse (5). The device comprises a connection bushing (7) connected to the casing (2) for attaching the priming fuse (5) to the casing (2), and is characterised in that it comprises means (10) providing a weakened link that can be sheared between the fuse (5) et the connection bushing (7), said link being sheared as a result of a pressure rise inside the casing (2), the connection bushing (7) comprising a bottom (8) defining a plate that can be projected on the explosive charge (3, 4) upon initiation of the fuse (5), wherein said bottom may also be broken under the occurrence of a pressure inside the body (2) of the ammunition (1).
Abstract:
L'invention a pour objet un dispositif de déconfinement d'une enveloppe (2) d'une munition (1) renfermant un chargement explosif (3) pouvant être initié par une fusée d'amorçage (5). Ce dispositif comprend une bague de raccordement (7) liée à l'enveloppe (2) et permettant de solidariser la fusée d'amorçage (5) à l'enveloppe (2), il est caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte un moyen (10) assurant une liaison fragilisée et cisaillable entre la fusée (5) et la bague de raccordement (7), liaison qui se trouve cisaillée comme suite à une élévation de la pression à l'intérieur de l'enveloppe (2), la bague de raccordement (7) comportant un fond (8) formant une plaque projetable sur le chargement explosif (3,4) lors de l'initiation de la fusée (5), fond pouvant également être rompu par l'apparition d'une pression à l'intérieur du corps (2) du projectile (1).
Abstract:
Certain exemplary embodiments described herein relate to digital downloading jukebox systems of the type that typically include a central server and remote jukebox devices that communicate with the central server for royalty accounting and/or content updates. More particularly, certain exemplary embodiments relate to jukebox systems that have revenue-enhancing features such as for example, music recommendation engines and bartender loyalty programs. Such innovative techniques help to both increase per-jukebox revenue as well as keep jukebox patrons engaged with the jukebox.
Abstract:
A method and system for monitoring a flexible pipe, including an inline sensor system coupled to the annulus of the flexible pipe to detect corrosion of the flexible pipe. Also disclosed are method and system for monitoring an amount of water being accumulated in an annulus of a flexible pipe, including locating a pressure measurement system proximate to the annulus for measuring pressure of gas inside the annulus; controlling a flow of vent gas with a vent gas valve; positioning a flow measurement system upstream or downstream of the vent gas valve for measuring the flow of the vent gas when the vent gas valve is opened; and collecting with a microprocessor pressure and flow measurement data from the pressure and the flow measurement systems for determining the amount of water accumulated in the annulus based on the collected pressure and flow measurement data.
Abstract:
A method of measuring depth and/or azimuth of logging data, the logging data being related to at least one property of a zone GF, CS, CA surrounding a wellbore and being measured by at least a sensor array SAI D, SA2D, the method comprising the steps of:- acquiring and storing a first logging data frame F11, F21 corresponding to a first position of the sensor array,- acquiring and storing a second logging data frame F12, F22 corresponding to a second position of the sensor array, the first and second position are such that the second logging data frame F12, F22 overlaps at least partially the first logging data frame F11, F21,- comparing the first F11, F21 and second F12, F22 logging data frame, and- calculating a relative change in the depth ΔDP and/or azimuth ΔAZ of logging data measured by the sensor array SAI D, SA2D between the first F11, F21 and second F12, F22 logging data frame.
Abstract:
A device for locating submunitions within the casing of a projectile, consisting of evenly angularly spaced bars (9) each comprising a bearing surface (10) for engaging the inside of the casing (3) and two supporting surfaces (11a, 11b) for engaging at least two adjacent submunitions (2). The device is characterised in that each bar is divided into at least two bar portions (9a, 9b) in mutual contact at at least one sloping guide surface (30) whereby a relative sliding movement of each bar moves the two supporting surfaces (11a, 11b) away from each other in such a way as to eliminate the radial clearance between the submunitions (2) arranged within the casing (3). The device is suitable for locating anti-tank bomblets within an artillery carrier shell.
