Title: Prevention of dissolution of metal-based aluminium production anodes
Inventor: NORA VITTORIO DE
IPC: C25C3/06
Filed: 2003-03-31
Abstract: A method of inhibiting dissolution of a transition metal alloy anode ( 40 ) of an aluminium electrowinning cell comprises providing a barrier layer ( 11,20,50,50 ') on a non-anodic structural cell material ( 15 ), such as carbon, and electrolysing alumina dissolved in a molten electrolyte ( 30 ). The non-anodic structural material is able to supply an oxidisable by-product to the electrolyte and/or is active for reducing electrolyte species exposed to the structural material into an oxidisable by-product, such as sodium metal or carbon dust. However, the barrier layer inhibits the presence in the molten electrolyte ( 30 ) of the oxidisable by-product that constitutes an agent for chemically reducing the anode's transition metal oxides and anodically evolved oxygen. This inhibits reduction of the anode's transition metal oxides by the oxidisable by-product and maintains the anodically evolved oxygen at a concentration such as to produce, at the alloy/oxide layer interface, stable and coherent transition metal oxides having a high level of oxidation. The barrier layer may comprise molten aluminium ( 20 ) and/or a layer of refractory hard material ( 11,50,50 ').

Patent AU-2004306702-A1 (AU)
Title: Synchronizing RF system
Inventor: WINICK STEVEN J
IPC: H04M1/00
Filed: 2004-09-03
Abstract: A synchronizing method and system between a Radio Frequency (RF) transmitter and a battery powered receiver wherein the transmitter transmits short duration first periodic sync signals which are used by the receiver to maintain proper synchronization of the receiver with the transmitter during second periodic wake-up windows for transmission of data. The receiver wakes for a short duration at the start of each periodic wake up window to receive a possible transmission of data, and if no transmission is received goes back to sleep, and if a transmission is received stays awake to receive the full transmission of data. The basic principle is that the average current consumed by the battery powered receiver in order to wake periodically to receive the first periodic sync signals and the second periodic data transmissions is less than the average current required to maintain the receiver awake continuously. The duration (e.g. 14 ms) and periodicity of (e.g. every 32 s) of the periodic signals are selected to meet a FCC regulation of 2 second/hour allowed for synchronization.
