This application is a continuation-in-part of prior co-pending application Ser. No. 06/932,068 filed Nov. 18, 1986, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,862,060, and entitled "Microwave Apparatus for Measuring Fluid Mixtures". The prior application is hereby incorporated by reference in this application.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention pertains to a method and apparatus including an unbuffered oscillator for generating microwave frequency range radiation for measuring the composition of water-oil and other mixtures of matter and, in particular, wherein the mixture comprises a relatively high concentration of water in a water-oil mixture.
2. Background
The above-referenced patent application describes a microwave-based apparatus for measuring the concentration of one liquid in another, particularly relatively low concentrations of water in oil. In the production and transportation of crude oil, for example, it is important to be able to determine the amount of water mixed with the crude oil, which is often present as naturally-produced water or water which has become mixed with the oil as a result of certain reservoir stimulation processes. In some instances relatively high percentages of water in oil occur as a result of producing from formations which have a so-called "high water cut". In many crude oil reservoirs, the percentage of water in the produced liquid mixture may easily exceed 50% and go as high as 80% or 90%, at least at various times in the production process.
The apparatus described in application Ser. No. 06/932,868 provides an unbuffered or unisolated, free-running oscillator circuit which is connected to a fluid measurement section having a coaxial transmission path comprising a conduit having a center conductor extending through the conduit and wherein the conduit itself forms a part of the conductive path or circuit. The apparatus is capable of detecting a change in operating frequency of the oscillator as a function of the change of the composition of the liquid mixture being conducted through the conduit of the measurement section. In particular, the apparatus is utilized to determine the change in percentage of water contained in the oil flowstream and at relatively low percentages (less than 5% to 10%) of water in oil, wherein the water exists as dispersed droplets, a water-in-oil emulsion.
For relatively low percentages of water in oil the change in the oscillator circuit operating frequency can be easily measured and compared to an pre-established relationship between oscillator operating frequency and the composition of the water-in-oil mixture to determine the water content. However, when the water content of the composition increases to about 50% to 86%, by volume, the mixture becomes inverted to an oil-in-water emulsion and apparatus with a metal center conductor and a metal outer conductor/conduit in direct contact with the mixture being measured undergoes a loss in field intensity due to a short circuit between the conductor elements. This occurrence renders the aforementioned apparatus essentially incapable of measuring the water content of the composition.
However, in accordance with the present invention an apparatus which includes a center conductor as described herein and the practice of the improved method of determining the composition of a material, which includes measuring power loss of microwave radiation being propagated through the apparatus, can be used to determine the water content of a liquid mixture or composition having a relatively high percentage of water, including an oil-in-water emulsion.
The present invention provides an improved apparatus for utilizing microwave energy, the frequency of which varies when transmitted through a transmission line with the concentration of at least one medium in a composition of material which is present as a dielectric material in the transmission line. In particular, the present invention includes an apparatus with an improved coaxial transmission line wherein a fluid medium is flowing through a conduit forming an outer conductor in which is disposed a center conductor having a covering of a material with suitable dielectric properties to enable the measurement of relatively high concentrations of one liquid in another.
Further in accordance with the present invention, there is provided an apparatus which includes a relatively high frequency unbuffered, free-running oscillator which generates radio frequency range or so-called microwave range energy which is transmitted through an RF transmission line which also receives a flowstream of fluid. The net complex impedance of the transmission line varies with the concentration of one fluid in another to change the operating frequency of the oscillator, which frequency is measured and compared with a known frequency range to determine the concentration of the one fluid from reference data. In particular, the transmission line includes a center conductor with an outer sheath or layer which is formed of a material having dielectric characteristics which are such as to prevent a short circuiting of the conductive path between the center conductor and the outer conductor at an unwanted location in the transmission line. The sheath is preferably formed of a non-metallic material having a low loss tangent dielectric characteristic. Such material includes polypropylene, fluorocarbon plastics, and ceramic materials. At least in the instance of use of a polypropylene material or a material made under the trademark Delrin, the ratio of the diameter of the outer sheath or sleeve to the diameter of the center conductor of metal is preferably approximately two to one.
Still further in accordance with the present invention, there is provided a method and apparatus for measuring the composition of a material, such as the water content of a water-oil mixture, wherein the characteristics of the mixture when changing from a water-in-oil emulsion to an oil-in-water emulsion can be detected to eliminate false readings of the concentration of one of the liquids in the other. In particular, the present invention provides an improved method for determining reliably whether a water-in-oil or oil-in-water mixture is present by comparing, at a particular oscillator operating frequency, the microwave power loss incurred by the apparatus. The present invention also provides a microwave transmission based apparatus for measuring the concentration of one liquid in another, such as a water-in-oil or oil-in-water which includes directional couplers arranged in such a way as to measure the incident microwave power on the measurement section of the apparatus and the reflected microwave power so that a power loss determination can be made.
The above-mentioned features and advantages of the present invention together with other superior aspects thereof will be further appreciated by those skilled in the art upon reading the detailed description which follows in conjunction with the drawing.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of one preferred embodiment of the apparatus of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating the change in frequency of the oscillator circuit of the apparatus as a result of the change in concentration of one substance such as water in another substance such as oil and including a diagram showing the change in microwave power loss with the change in the concentrations; and
FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of an alternate embodiment of the apparatus of the present invention.
In the description which follows, like parts are marked throughout the specification and drawing with the same reference numerals, respectively. The drawing figures are in generally schematic form and certain conventional or commercially available elements are shown in block diagram form only in the interest of clarity and conciseness.
Referring to FIG. 1, there is illustrated a diagram of an apparatus for measuring the concentration of one substance or material such as water, in another substance or material such as crude oil, which is being transmitted as a liquid mixture flowstream through a pipeline. The apparatus is generally designated by the numeral 10 and is particularly adapted for interconnection with a fluid transmission pipeline 12 for sampling the pipeline flowstream. Alternatively, the apparatus 10 might become part of the pipeline. The apparatus 10 includes a fluid flow conducting and measurement section 14 comprising an outer conduit section 16, including spaced apart pipe tee sections 18 having conventional flange portions 20 formed thereon for connection to branch conduit portions of the pipeline 12. The measurement 14 comprises a coaxial transmission line which includes a center conductor 22 preferably formed of a metal such as stainless steel which extends between opposed end support parts 24 and 26 which are described in detail in the above-referenced patent application. The center conductor 22 preferably comprises a generally cylindrical rod or tube member coaxially arranged in the conduit 16 and provided with an outer sheath 27 formed of a material having a relatively low dielectric loss tangent, preferably less than 0.1 at a frequency of 1.0 GHz. The sheath 27 preferably comprises a relatively easy-to-fabricate plastic such as polypropylene, a plastic sold under the trademark Delrin or one of the fluorocarbon plastics. Alternatively, certain ceramics or other materials may also be used as the outer sheath 27 as long as they are low loss tangent dielectric materials. The fit between the outer sheath 27 and the center conductor 22 is preferably a forced or line-to-line fit although some clearance may be permitted as long as fluid flow between the center conductor and the outer sheath is prohibited. In an apparatus where the center conductor has a diameter of 0.25 inches, the outer diameter of the sheath 27 is preferably at least about 0.50 inches or, alternatively, a ratio of the outer diameter of the sheath to the outer diameter of the center conductor is in the range of about two to one.
It has been determined that with the provision of a sheath 27 formed of one of the above-mentioned materials and in the proportions described, that the electrical circuit for propagating microwave radiation through the apparatus 22 retains a high quality signal resolution characteristic in liquid mixtures of oil and water, for example, wherein the water content is relatively high, that ia on the order of more than 5% to 10% by volume. With this type of center conductor arrangement, the circuit associated with the apparatus 10 and described hereinbelow retains good field intensity or prevents short circuiting of the center conductor to the outer conductor in an unwanted location, the oscillator circuit retains its good load-pulling characteristics with good resolution of phase and the interface between the sheath 27 and the fluid in the conduit 16 is a new propagation medium which has desirable operating characteristics.
When the apparatus 10 is operating with a liquid composition which is high in water content or a so-called water continuous phase, the conductivity of the composition is high compared to a good dielectric but low compared to a good conductor and, of course, the liquid composition is in direct contact with the wall surfaces of the measurement section 14 including the center conductor. The insulating sheath 27 prevents the radio frequency (RF) energy from being shorted out immediately at the point where the RF energy enters the measurement section or where the fluid cross section begins. Moreover, the sheath 27 now becomes the primary region where the RF field is propagated with the conductive fluid becoming a pseudo outer wall of the measurement section in place of the wall of the conduit 16. The cross sectional measurement of the water-in-oil composition is still preserved due to the large skin depth of the microwave or RF energy at the operating frequency. This skin depth is large through the water as the conducting medium of the outer half of the coaxial transmission line formed by the measurement section. The dielectric structure is now the sheath 27. The properties of the propagated RF energy still reflect the changing content of the oil in the water and this is related through pulling of the unisolated oscillator which is described hereinbelow. The sheath 27 must be thick enough to maintain a reasonable coaxial impedance to be able to propagate the RF energy into the measurement section 14 and maintain a measurement capability. A very thin dielectric coating on the center conductor 22 will cause a very low impedance with a liquid composition having a high water content and therefore the RF energy would be reflected at the fluid interface.
RF energy is not propagated in the interior of a good conductor. The conductor guides the electromagnetic waves. The energy travels in the region between the conductors in a coaxial transmission system with a good dielectric. The currents that are established at the conductor surfaces propagate into the conductor in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the current density. The current density or electric field intensity established at the surface of a good conductor decays rapidly looking into the conductor. When the conductor is resistive or, low conductivity, this depth into the conductor increases rapidly. This phenomenon is known in the art as skin depth.
As shown in FIG. 1, the center conductor 22 extends through opposed end block members 29 which are also preferably formed of a relatively high insulative material such as a fluorocarbon plastic and the end plug sections are configured in a way similar to the ones described in the above-referenced patent application.
The measurement section 14 is operably connected to a source of radio frequency (RF) or so-called microwave energy comprising an unbuffered or unisolated, free-running oscillator, generally designated by the numeral 30. The oscillator 30 includes an active circuit 32 operably connected to a tuning circuit 34 and to an impedance matching network circuit 36. The circuit 32 is adapted to receive a constant DC voltage, Vc, from a source not shown and by way of a filter circuit 38. The tuning circuit 34 is also adapted to receive a controllable DC voltage, Vt, from another source, not shown, by way of a second filter circuit 40. The oscillator 30 has an appreciable load-pulling characteristic. The fundamental operating frequency of the oscillator is changed as the complex load is changed on the output circuit of the oscillator. The oscillator 30 is preferably of a type commercially available such as from Avantek Company, Santa Clara, Calif. as their model VTO 8030 voltage controlled oscillator. The exemplary oscillator 30 has a maximum load-pulling characteristic of about 35 MHz at a nominal 200 MHz operating frequency into all phases of a short circuit at the end of a 50 Ohm line stretcher (approximately 0.5 DB return loss). The oscillator 30 is operably connected to the apparatus measurement section 14 through a suitable connector 44 which is in electrically conductive engagement with the center conductor 22 at the end part 24 and at the opposite end of the center conductor 22 through a second connector 44, a resistance 46 and with the outer conductor or conduit 16 as illustrated. The end part 26 is also adapted to connect the center conductor 22 with a 10 DB directional coupler 48a which is operable to sample the microwave energy or power transmitted through the coaxial measurement section 14. The coupler 48a is connected to a power splitter 49 which is connected to a power sensor 50a. The directional coupler 48a may be of a type manufactured by Minicircuits Company of Brooklyn, N.Y. as their model ZED-15-2B. The power splitter 49 may be of a type ZFSC-2-2 also manufactured by Minicircuits. The power sensor 50 may be of a type 437B manufactured by Hewlett Packard of Sunnyvale, Calif.
A second directional coupler 48b is interposed in the circuit between the end part 24 and the oscillator 30 and is connected to a second power sensor 50b. The directional couplers 48a and 48b may be of identical configuration. The coupler 48a is connected to the power splitter 49 which provides an output signal which is amplified by an amplifier 56. The output of the amplifier 56 is adapted to be input to a frequency counter 58 which is also adapted to be connected to a microprocessor 60. A suitable digital display or readout device 62 is connected to the microprocessor 60. The amplifier 56 may be of a type commercially available from the above-mentioned Minicircuits Company as their model ZFL-500. The frequency counter 58 may be of a type manufactured by Hewlett Packard Company as their model 5342A and the microprocessor 60 may be a Hewlett Packard type 9836. The system illustrated in FIG. 1 preferably includes a temperature compensation circuit including a thermocouple 63 operably connected to a conversion circuit 65 to provide a suitable digital signal to the microprocessor 60.
In operation, the changing dielectric constant presented by the material flowing through the measurement section 14, such as caused by the presence in a liquid mixture, for example, of varying amounts of water in oil or oil in water, causes the oscillator 30 to change its operating frequency over a relatively narrow frequency band as compared with the nominal operating frequency of the oscillator. For example, the oscillator 30, in a preferred form, can be pulled from its nominal operating frequency through a range of about 20 MHz by the changing dielectric constant of the medium flowing through the measurement section 14.
Referring to FIG. 2, the two diagrams illustrated indicate the characteristics of the change in oscillator operating frequency as a function of the concentration of water in an oil such as crude petroleum. The graphical representations of FIG. 2 are meant to be of a somewhat general nature and the abscissas of both graphs are not indicated to have any particular numerical values. However, the frequency of operation of the oscillator 30 as a function of the percentage of water in a water-oil mixture is indicated by the curve or line 70. For example, at a percentage of water approximately nil or zero, the operating frequency of the oscillator 30 would be indicated by the point 72 and, from experiments, as the percentage of water in a water-crude petroleum mixture increases to about 50% of the total volume, the water exists as an emulsion in an oil liquid. In a range of concentration of about 50% to 86% water an inversion may occur wherein the emulsion becomes one of oil-in-water rather than water-in-oil. Above 86% water, almost universally, the emulsion is one of oil in water. A slight increase in the slope of the curve 70 occurs over the portion 73 in the range of 86% to 100% water in the liquid mixture being measured. It has been observed that when increasing the concentration of water in a water-oil mixture, the characteristic of the frequency change is indicated by the curve 70. However, in instances where a relatively high concentration of water in the mixture is initially present but then decreases, and/or wherein an oil-in-water emulsion exists, the change in oscillator operating frequency follows a curve 74 as indicated by the dashed line in the frequency versus percentage of water diagram. This dashed line follows the slope indicated in the diagram to a point wherein the amount of water equals about 36% by volume of the mixture wherein the slope of the curve changes to follow the line 76 to the point where it intersects the curve 70 as indicated at 78. Accordingly, it has been observed that with changing conditions of a liquid mixture comprising water and oil, for example, that a measurement of frequency alone as an indication of the percentage water in the mixture may be unreliable since, in the range of about 20% to 86% water in the mixture by volume, more than one frequency can be indicated by the apparatus 14.
However, it has been discovered in accordance with the present invention that there is also a change in the microwave radiation power loss through the measurement section 14 as a function of the condition wherein there is either a water-in-oil mixture or an oil-in-water mixture. Looking at the diagram which represents frequency in the abscissa versus microwave power loss in the ordinate, the solid line curve 80 indicates the power loss through the measurement section 14 for a condition of water-in-oil from the point 82 to the point 84, 86. The dashed line 88 in the diagram of frequency versus power loss indicates the power loss for a condition wherein the mixture is essentially an oil-in-water emulsion.
Accordingly, during operation of the system 10 the incident power sensed at the power sensor 50b as input to the measurement section 14 may be monitored and the transmitted power as determined by the power sensor 50a may also be monitored. The difference between the readings of these power sensors is then measured to determine the power loss at a particular operating frequency of the oscillator circuit 30. By determining the microwave radiation power loss, a characteristic of the material being analyzed may be noted, such as, in a water-oil mixture, the condition wherein a water-in-oil or oil-in-water emulsion is present. For example, at an operating frequency of Fa if the power loss corresponds to the loss indicated by the curve 88 at point 89, it is indicated that an oil-in-water mixture exists. Accordingly, for the same frequency, viewing the diagram of frequency Fa versus percentage water, it is indicated that approximately 30% water is present. On the other hand, for an operating frequency Fa, if the power loss corresponds to that indicated by the curve 80 at point 81, it is known that a much higher percentage of water is present in a so-called water-in-oil mixture and corresponding to the percentage of water indicated by the point 71 on line 70, for operating frequency Fa .
Referring now to FIG. 3, there is illustrated an alternate embodiment of a measurement apparatus in accordance with the present invention and generally designated by the numeral 100. The apparatus 100 also includes a measurement section 102 formed by an outer conductor and conduit 16, a center conductor 104 and an outer sheath 27 for the center conductor. The apparatus 100 includes an end part 24 connected to the conduit 16 together with the conduit tee sections 18 and flanges 20 as provided for the apparatus measurement section 14.
The apparatus 100 differs from the apparatus 10 primarily in regard to the end of the measurement section opposite the end part 24. As illustrated, the center conductor 104 terminates in a plug member 110 having an integral flange portion 112 which is suitably secured to the tee section 18 such as by welding or other conventional means. The end plug 110 is of a highly conductive type material to form a short circuit between the center conductor 104 and the conduit 16.
The oscillator circuit 30 is suitably connected to directional couplers 48a and 48b which are arranged to measure the incident power transmitted to the measurement section 102 and the reflected power returned from the measurement section 102. A power splitter 49 is connected in circuit with the coupler 48a and a power sensor 50a is adapted to measure the incident power transmitted to the measurement section 102. In like manner, a power sensor 50b is operably coupled to the directional coupler 48b to measure the reflected power. The change in operating frequency of the oscillator circuit 30 is sensed by the circuit which includes the amplifier 56, frequency counter 58, microprocessor 60 and display device 62.
The operation of the apparatus 10 and the apparatus 100 are essentially the same. By sweeping the oscillator operating frequency of the circuit 30 across a frequency range suitable for the particular material being measured, including the maximum range of component composition, a change in the operating frequency for a particular tuned frequency may be compared with the output of the oscillator 54 and a differential, relatively low frequency signal may be output from the mixer 52 to the frequency counter 58. The frequency counted by the counter 58 may be compared with frequency data stored in the microprocessor 60 and corresponding to a range of percentages of one medium in another such as water in oil and oil in water. Concomitant with the change in operating frequency the power loss characteristic of the measurement sections 14 and 102 may be measured by comparing the power at the power sensors 50a and 50b for a particular operating frequency and by referring to the diagram of frequency versus mixture content and frequency versus power loss to determine whether, in the case of a water-oil mixture, a water-in-oil condition exists or an oil-in-water condition exists and wherein the percentage of one in the other may be determined. The diagrams of FIG. 2 may, of course, be presented in a digital data base accessible by a suitable computer.
Although preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail herein, those skilled in the art will recognize that various substitutions and modifications may be made to the method and apparatus described without departing from the scope an spirit of the invention as recited in the appended claims.

WASHINGTON Sarah Palin walked in two worlds last weekend.
In one, at the lines forming at bookstores across Middle America, the former Alaska governor and 2008 vice presidential candidate is a veritable rock star.
In the other, inside the Washington beltway, not so much.
Palin missed an opportunity when she spoke Saturday night to the Gridiron Club. It's a group of about 60 Washington journalists, myself included, and dozens of retired or affiliated associates that has spoofed and satirized politicians, the press and newsmakers at semi-annual dinners here for well over a century.
The club's "singe but never burn" tradition is aimed at getting politicians with different views to break bread and to laugh at each other, and at themselves. The other speaker Saturday was liberal Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank.
Many journalists in the Gridiron are political reporters who spend election years trekking across Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. They are among the first to question the people who want to be the next president of the United States.
Consequently, the Gridiron is a good platform for ambitious politicians.
Palin got off a couple of self-deprecating lines, but seemed as intent as ever on settling scores with the McCain campaign acolytes that she skewers in her best-seller, Going Rogue.
The "cozy little club" — her description of her media audience — reacted coolly.
Now, before all you Palin lovers and haters retreat further into your opposing camps, before you confuse critique with pique, hear this out.
A day after she spoke at the Gridiron, Palin got a hot reception when hundreds of people stood in near-zero temperatures in Sioux City, Iowa, and Sioux Falls, S.D., for book signings. Some drove long distances and even brought gifts, including a Bible and a pink sweatshirt that added Palin's face to Mount Rushmore.
Palin is a rallying figure for Americans who believe the country has gotten seriously off track, made a huge mistake in electing Barack Obama president, and that Washington is indifferent to their reality. Palin's anti-Washington, conservative appeal in places like Sioux City, where some of the first ballots of the 2012 presidential campaign will be counted, will never be underestimated in this column.
But if Palin aspires to broader national leadership, if she is to get beyond an ideological glass ceiling, she needs to get beyond settling scores and hardening bases.
When Palin quit the Alaska governorship earlier this year, she blamed political enemies for harassing her out of office. "Going Rogue" opens with an inspiring, up-from-the-bootstraps personal tale, but she spends much of the book complaining about maltreatment from a few McCain campaign staffers.
The Americans standing in freezing book-signing lines get scant attention in Going Rogue.
Had Palin done her homework, she might have known that her Gridiron audience was primed for a second look, and that there was precedent for the political power of self-deprecation in such moments.
In 1982, Nancy Reagan sang Secondhand Clothes at the Gridiron's spring dinner. In a spoof of Secondhand Rose, Mrs. Reagan dressed up in old, mismatched clothes and a cheap feathered boa. Mrs. Reagan had been caricatured by many in the room as aloof and aristocratic. In one appearance, she spoofed herself while taking a gentle, but pointed, dig at the self-important media types who had been harping on her designer clothes and expensive china while unemployment rose above 10%.
Mrs. Reagan surprised almost everyone, including her husband. Standing ovations and curtain calls ensued. Praise in print and on the air poured forth. Stories about the disconnected, indifferent Reagans began fading. The Washington Post's social columnist reported a few weeks later that half the 600 people at the dinner had sent the first lady "mush notes."
"The tide has turned," the columnist wrote. "Let's hope everyone behaves properly from now on."
Sarah Palin had that opportunity to turn the tide, too — to force her detractors beyond caricature. But she's still going rogue.

Switzerland Stocks Decline; SMI Loses 2.2% in April
Swiss stocks declined, led by losses in banks and insurance companies, as a report showed business activity in the U.S. expanded slower than forecast.
Credit Suisse Group AG and Swiss Life Holding AG at least 1.5 percent. Actelion Ltd., the country's largest biotechnology company, soared 14 percent as its experimental lung drug macitentan met the main goal of a late-stage clinical trial. OC Oerlikon Corp., a maker of textile machinery, climbed 5.2 percent after it said profits may rise more than projected.
The Swiss Market Index slipped 0.3 percent to 6,096.34 in Zurich. The measure fell 2.2 percent this month, the largest decline since August, amid disappointing economic reports and renewed concerns the euro area's debt crisis may deepen. The gauge has still rallied 2.7 percent in 2012. The Swiss Performance Index lost 0.1 percent today.
"The stock markets are in a kind of conflict between good quarterly results of companies and economic data that tend to be worse than expected, especially in Europe," said Peter Buergler, a trader at Luzerner Kantonalbank AG in Lucerne, Switzerland. "Investors are still reluctant to act and want more clarity amid continuing uncertainty."
Voters are due to head to the polls on May 6 in Greece and France.
U.S. Business Activity
Data from the Institute for Supply Management-Chicago Inc. showed its U.S. business barometer fell to 56.2 in April, from 62.2 the prior month. Economists had called for a drop to 60, according to the survey median.
A Commerce Department report showed that household purchases, which account for about 70 percent of the economy, rose 0.3 percent in March after a revised 0.9 percent gain the prior month that was stronger than first reported. The median forecast of 62 economists in a Bloomberg News survey had called for a 0.4 percent increase.
In Europe, data today showed Spain's economy, the fourth-biggest in the euro region, shrank less than forecast in the first quarter. Spanish gross domestic product fell 0.3 percent, the same as in the previous three months. That compares with the Bank of Spain's estimate on April 23 of a 0.4 percent decline.
UBS AG and Credit Suisse dropped 1.8 percent to 11.33 francs and 2 percent to 21.71 francs, respectively. Swiss Life, the nation's largest life insurer, lost 1.5 percent to 92.85 francs, while Baloise Holding AG slipped 1.3 percent to 70.25 francs.
Bucher Declines
Bucher Industries AG, the agricultural machinery maker, dropped as much as 2.8 percent to 175 francs before paring the losses in late afternoon trading. Fabian Haecki, an analyst at Vontobel Holding AG, cut the stock to hold from buy.
"We continue to regard Bucher as an attractive and well managed structural growth story, but earnings will probably reach a cyclical high this year," Haecki wrote in a note to clients today.
Actelion surged 14 percent to 38.40 francs, the largest gain on record, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Its experimental lung drug macitentan met the main goal of a late-stage clinical trial, providing the company with a possible successor to a treatment that accounts for 89 percent of sales.
Bryan Garnier & Cie. raised the stock to buy from sell.
A gauge of health-care companies was the only industry among 19 groups in the Stoxx Europe 600 Index to rise today. Lonza Group AG, the world's biggest maker of drug ingredients, climbed 1.1 percent to 40.93 francs. Roche Holding AG climbed 0.5 percent to 165.80 francs.
Oerlikon Profitability
Oerlikon rallied 5.2 percent to 8.97 francs, its highest since November 2009, after Chief Executive Officer Michael Buscher said he's confident the company can further increase profitability compared to 2011.
"The bottom line and the top line can improve on our guidance," Buscher said in an interview.
Earnings before interest and taxes in the first quarter rose 7 percent from a year earlier, excluding the one-time sale of property from the textiles unit, to 113 million francs ($124 million). Sales increased 6 percent from a year earlier to 961 million francs.
"The positive news from Actelion and Oerlikon are supporting the market today," said Luzerner Kantonalbank's Buergler.
Logitech International SA, the world's biggest maker of computer mice, climbed 4.4 percent to 9.27 francs for its fourth day of gains and highest price since Oct. 27.

BRIEF: Windward students seek immigrants to interview for oral history project
FERNDALE, Jan 01, 2013 (The Bellingham Herald (Bellingham - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- Windward High School students are looking for immigrants who are willing to share their stories for an oral history project Wednesday, Jan. 16.
Every other year, students work on an oral history project based around periods in American history, most recently the Vietnam War.
This year, rather than a specific time period, the theme is an experience: immigration. Students are hoping to talk to people in the community who moved to the United States from another country, whether recently or long ago. The students will do their interviews from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. Jan. 16, at Windward High School, 5275 Northwest Ave.
People who'd like to share their stories and experiences can call Jenny Richard at 360-383-9289 or email firstname.lastname@example.com to schedule an interview.
Four teachers and about 85 students will be working on the project once school is back in session after winter break. Students will then compile the stories and photos into a book as part of the project.
Reach ZOE FRALEY at email@example.com or call 756-2803.

The on-demand webinar illustrates the functioning of optical O2 sensors, enhancement offered by the optical sensors over non-optical sensors and their contribution to improved beer quality and productivity.
The control, quicker and precise measurement of dissolved O2 (DO) is very essential in many brewery processes, which helps to maintain higher yield, shelf life and enhanced beer quality. Hence, the need for advancement in DO sensing technology, which is vital to the breweries.
The latest sensors employing optical O2 measurement techniques ensures multiple benefits including drift reduction, less maintenance, and fast response time when compared to the conventional amperometric O2 measurement sensors.
Jürgen Illerhaus, Product Manager of METTLER TOLEDO, has launched the METTLER TOLEDO's optical oxygen sensors during this webinar and demonstrated the functioning and outlined its usage in the brewery industry. Mr Illerhaus also illustrates the company's intelligent sensor management (ISM) technology, which assists in working with and maintaining the analytical sensor using various innovative operations and design structures. During the presentation, Mr Illerhaus stated that the integration of ISM specifically with the optical sensing technologies will add high value to the breweries.

A federal lawsuit claims New York City failed to properly screen a woman who used fictitious identities to adopt 10 disabled children and later repeatedly abused, starved and imprisoned them.
The lawsuit was filed Wednesday in Brooklyn federal court on behalf of the children.
The suit says 64-year-old Judith Leekin was able to carry out the scam in which she fraudulently collected $1.68 million in adoption subsidies because the city's Administration for Children's Services didn't do its job.
The suit says ACS was a "dysfunctional bureaucracy" and could have easily exposed the scheme.
Earlier this year, Leekin was sentenced to 20 years in a Florida prison.
She was also sentenced in New York to serve 11 years in federal prison for fraud.
Leekin lived in Florida with the children. The city says it intends to fight the lawsuit.

3. AT&T "Actor" (2007)
Again this is part of a series, this time of 3 ads, that Anderson shot for AT&T in 2007. In each, the basic idea is the same, as three professional men talk over a series of swinging backdrops and rotating platforms to illustrate the AT&T's wide coverage. You can watch "Reporter" and "Salesman" below too, but we've chosen "Actor" as the standout because of the casting and the greater sense of fluidity and depth to the in-camera effects and scenery changes.
2. Prada Candy "Episode 1" & "Episode 2" (2013)
A little cheat here, as we can't find much to choose between the first two installments of the 3-part Prada Candy "film" that Anderson directed with Roman Coppola this year. Full disclosure: there's almost nothing on the face of the planet apart from maybe childhood smallpox that this writer despises more than the average perfume commercial (those aggravating interest vacuums wherein tragic Scarjo pouts and says something fauxnigmatic or Nicole Kidman "lahves to dahhhnce!"), but these are definitely a cut above. Lea Seydoux (who shot a few days on "Grand Budapest Hotel" as well) is appropriately adorable, especially when stuffing her face adorably, but the ads mostly win us over for actually telling a story, as aspirationally Frenchified as it might be. So aside from the orgasmically fetishized design and accessorizing (oh, the cute way her handbag bounces around as she goes up the stairs!), the whole endeavor is a frothy, witty, mischievous way to sell perfume as a lighthearted lifestyle accessory, as opposed to a philosophical statement on transience and mortality coming from noted philosopher Brad Pitt -- Chanel, please take note. "Episode 3" doesn't have quite the same insouciance and gets a titchy bit smug, but the other two are great.
1. American Express "Wes Anderson" (2006)
And so we come to the undisputed masterpiece of Anderson's commercials career -- not just our favorite of his commercials, but one of our favourite commercials ever, period. And of course, that's largely because it's a fond and skewed look at filmmaking itself, simultaneously a send-up and a celebration of the process, in which Anderson fully embraces his image as a whimsical, mercurial, ringmaster ("Can you do a .357 with a bayonet?" "Are those my birds? I need those") and has great fun in the process. Almost as full of quotable lines as a whole two-hour movie and featuring Jason Schwartzman (whose "Francois!" followed by the hat bit always makes us laugh) and Roman Coppola as Francois himself, the ad might not sell American Express directly, but it does make us favorably disposed toward a brand that would fork over this amount of cash for Anderson to basically goof around. So, job done there. If you haven't seen this, you're in for a treat, and if you have, rewatch it and we guarantee you'll see something new.
An Honorable Mention has to go to Anderson's 2002 ad for Ikea in which a family has a huge row in an Ikea showroom because they feel so at home there, but we didn't give a spot in the top 5 here because despite its importance in advertising terms, it's an early commercial for Anderson and the direction is somewhat anonymous.
Also missing the list is this Japanese ad for Softbank starring Brad Pitt in a Jacques Tati-inspired spot that, while boasting a lot of Anderson flourishes right down to the scout troupe, feels too stiff from Pitt and also ends in that baffling WTF? way that Japanese ads often do.
We felt the performance and the animation in the Sony Xperia commercial felt oddly forced and not as charming as it wants to be.
While this 2005 commercial for Dasani feels more like an Anderson imitator than Anderson himself - perhaps that's why it's so difficult to get a hold of and why the quality is so poor.
If you still want a little more Wes, however, you can check out the video below in which he and Jason Schwartzman wander around a Borders store talking about music and movies they love. It's totally indulgent and hardly essential, but we do enjoy just the very idea that Anderson even watched "300" so it's worth it for that.

This is a very nice, clean park which we really enjoyed. The sites are easy to get into and fairly spacious. The park is on a beautiful lake with many activities including hiking trails, fishing, boat rentals and swimming. We stayed here over labor day weekend and although the park was full, it didn't feel crowded. The restrooms were clean and well maintained. Will definitely stay here again when passing through. - User3145

Plenty of room to hike and bike. Be careful on the upper camping area, the turns on the west side on very tight. Cutbacks have affected Iowa campgrounds as some of the picnic areas are not being mowed, just paths to and around them. - stetwood
Sep 2010 - $16.00
Wonderful, quiet campground. Shade trees at lots of the sites. Playground is not directly in the campground, but a little ways away. There is a beach at the lake and there is also canoe, kayak and paddle boat rentals. Very clean and yes, the DNR drives through frequently. Lots of white tail deer to see. - CampingMomIA

We were here during the Indianola Balloon Festival. It is on Hwy 92, a few minutes from Balloon field. It is a first come, first serve, you pick your own spot and pay daily so you can extend your stay as long as you wish. Nice, shaded spots and we managed to keep it cool inside despite the 100 degrees outside. We picked a spot with the playground right outside, our daughter loved it. It is at a fairground though, so you might want to check their schedule as we had a very loud Figure 8 spring car race our last night, but noise doesn't bother us too much. It is also on Hwy 92, which is a little noisy. Internet was however spectacular, which is one of our priorities so we were happy. - Fulltime2kids
Dec 2007 - $10.00
Nothing fancy, but the price is right for water/electric hookups. They have a dump site at the park. The park is located on the west side of town on HWY 92 across the highway from an excellant grocery store, try the meat counter. - Crop Guy

Not sure how many people look at other forums here, I lurk in a few. Which one of the more esoteric forums would you say is the biggest hoot:
P&R - The Conservatives vs Liberals
A&S - Bike lanes are the devils playground
Foo - Were just a bunch of loveable mugs

Those A&S guys are scary. Give me PnR anyday. Of course anyone who looks at my posting history will know this.
Don't spend a lot of time on any of those, but Living Car Free can be a hoot when someone asks for advice on HOW to transport a firearm on a bike, and the thread degenerates into a brawl over WHETHER one should transport a gun on a bike (or even be allowed to own a gun).
Living Car Free is a lot like P&R, except most of the conservatives get disgusted and leave.
Starve a terrorist - ride a bike to work. It's not just good for the environment, it's good for civilization.
My new blog is No Pinch Flats.
Foo, definitely. I note how many young ladies are constantly posting their pictures over there. I note that without comment.
The other two would probably crank up my blood pressure, and I bike to keep it down, so I never go there.
This is my only regular stop at bfn. I do occasionally check the Texas regional forum and the recumbent forum.
* 2009 RANS XStream
* 2007 RANS Stratus XP
* 2006 Bacchetta Corsa
My Blog - uneasy-rider.com
They told me it's ok to post mileage over in the commuting forum, so you'll probably find me there these days.
A&S has great fights. Highly recommended. I left Living Car Free when the Utility Cycling subforum arrived, since I have no real interest in living car free.
TWL, of course, speaks for me.
Though I notice some of the wimmins there sure seem t be in love with their own photos.
'13 Felt Z3 - '08 Jamis Aurora Elite - ('07 Giant OCR C2)
I voted for Foo by default, but I haven't spent much time in any of those forums. 50+, Bike Mechanics, Mountain Biking and Road Cycling are my usual stops, in that order of frequency. Classic and Vintage, Touring, Commuting, General Cycling Discussion and Coupon Forum are occasional stops. Tour de France is probably the most contentious forum I visit, but only around the time of the race or whan big scandals break.
The more you ride your bike, the less your ass will hurt.
None of the above.
I tend to hang out in the Alt-Bikes, Commuting, Living Car Free and Recumbent forums with occasional visits to Bike Mechanics, Vintage, A&S and Utility forums.
I think that Alt-Bikes is the most fun. It's one of the smallest forums, but the most open to new ideas.
None of the above.
I tend to hang out in the Socal regional forum, with occasional peeks (and comments) in Long Distance and Fifty Plus.
Rick / OCRR
I used to look at the Mountain biking Forum- but it got too juvenile for me in the end. Then Tandem section and my only problem with this forum is that I am one of the few Offroad riders in this section. I have a Tandem that has the wrong forks on- I have wheels that are overbuilt and too heavy and I ought to spend another $10,000 and get a bike that is going to work. Then there is the road forum and a I do have a road bike- Admittedly a little known manufacturer So it can't be as good as the Bontrager equipped Taiwan made bike distributed by a well known american manufacturer. Plus the fact that I cannot put up with all the slanging matches that seem to go on.
So in the main- I am on the 50+ forum- but even this has a few problem areas. I do not have a white recumbent fitted with fancy lugs and a brooks saddle- I do feel a little left out at times but I do like pie so I am in.
How long was I in the army? Five foot seven.

I check out the Great Lakes forum and the long distance forum on a pretty regular basis. If I'm just generally interested in what is being said I check out the "view new posts"
A&S. Those kids are just so funny. It's a great place to visit when the evening is slow.
A&S has been having the same argument, with the same people, saying almost the identical things, for years now!
This is funny. Until about 5 minutes ago I didn't even realize those forums existed.
hey Classic and Vintage is the nicest forum. I came in through that one so I was shocked when I first went to Road for instance, with all the bs there. Commuting is interesting to me as is Long Distance Cycling. I like the Women's forum, too. This one is pretty good, too. Lately I've been posting a little more on the SoCal regional one...
May you live long, live strong, and live happy!
Commuting is full of good info, as is Mechanics. I visit NorCal a lot.
Road is goo for laugh, and a arguement about nothing that won't stop. Mention Bikesdirect.com and it's good for 100 posts. A&S is just crazy. Who are those people?
This is by far the best place.
WANTED: Not a darn thing. I've got it all. Life is good.
Website at curtis.corlew.com Bicycle blog at ccorlew.blogspot.com
A&S is like Monty Python without the film.
Foo is a good place to hear a 15 year old tell you what Bob Dylan is all about.
P&R is not a healthy place for folks like me who are given to hypertension.
I do enjoy reading Long Distance, Recumbent, Bike Mech., C&V and Pacific Northwest.
Pictures of wimmens? Where? Where?
I'm single, I'm not only allowed to look, it's expected
I had a good bike ... so I FIXED it
What's P & R and A & S, never been in either?
Have been to Foo see no reason to go back. I generally hang in 3 or 4 forums (So. Cal Regional, Clyde, 50+ and mountain bike, sometimes women's). Don't have time really to hit the others. Barely have time to come here!
I find all three pretty good for a diversion. They all have a regular crowd, like Crum in P&R, and many are pretty predictable in their positions and some topics like vehicular cycling in A&S and global warming in P&R can get people stirred up pretty good, say 7 pages good. I like all of the personalities of the regulars and will dive in once in awhile but it takes a pretty strong mind to hang in P&R unless you just want to drop down to name calling which occurs a bit too often there, especially lately. If you have not dropped in give it try and just don't take things too seriously.
The problem with the gene pool is that there is no lifeguard and the shallow end is much too large

Geezzzz - I checked some of these out and they are too silly for my taste. I did find another poster who was using my AE Newman Avatar so I had to change. I'll stay here thank you very much!

As I am still waking up and reading the front page top headline on March 1 "Official: Planned bridge too low," which reports that the Coast Guard is saying that the current plans for the Columbia River Crossing do not give enough height for shipping clearance on the biggest river west of the Mississippi I am beside myself with disgust.
One hundred and forty million dollars of taxpayer money has already been spent on this fiasco and someone doesn't realize the clearance necessary to go up and down this waterway?
According to the report, the current plans for the new bridge as of now have a planned clearance of 95 feet, and Thompson Metal Fab requested 125. Did someone misplace this information?
Also, adding millions to revise the plans and add this extra river clearance leads me to the conclusion that a large body of people should be fired.
I had just read that the permission to charge a toll on this nonexistent bridge was given the green light, but now we are back to the drawing board. The incompetence here is staggering.
Now that I am fully awake and this sinks in, I have gone from dumbfounded to furious.

Paul Morigi/Getty Images for FORTUNE
Women, get ready to "Lean In" at the movie theater.
Deadline reports that Sony Pictures is developing a film based on Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg's book, "Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead." Nell Scovell, who helped Sandberg write the book, will also pen the script.
The book addresses the inequalities women face in the workplace and Sandberg's advice on how to resolve them. The movie won't be a documentary nor a biopic about Sandberg; rather, it will be a "narrative film from the themes contained within the book."
Though the project is in the very earliest of stages (no director attached), we're sure quite a few Hollywood leading ladies would kill to play a whip-smart, fast-rising young executive who has to break some glass ceilings. Anyone else think Natalie Portman or Rachel McAdams would be perfect for this?
