Patent EP-1476247-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SFERRAZZA ALOIS
IPC: B01D61/50
Filed: 2003-02-21
Abstract: An electrodialysis method and apparatus include a source of concentrate fluid, a source of dilute fluid, a collector of treated concentrate fluid, a collector of dilute fluid, an anode and a cathode. A plurality of generally planar spacers are interleaved with a plurality of membranes to define a plurality of cells providing electrically conductive fluid connection between the anode and the cathode. Each of the spacers comprises a gasket that defines a first aperture and a second aperture. Each of said first and second apertures define an independent cell between interleaved membranes. The symmetrical, multiple split cell spacer configuration channels fluid flow through two or more narrow and elongated paths. The split cell arrangement allows for operation of the stack in parallel or in series. The invention improves the ion removal efficiency of a given membrane area, requires significantly less energy than other electrodialysis systems and substantially reduces stack assembly, materials and fabrication costs.

Abstract: There is disclosed a dielectric resonator antenna adapted to resonate in an EH resonance mode. The desired resonance mode is achieved by careful positioning of a dielectric resonator (20) on a grounded substrate (23), the resonator (20) being fed by way of a direct microstrip feed line (25). Because the EH resonance mode has nulls in a direction of longitudinal extension of the dielectric resonator (20), a plurality of antennas can be placed end-to-end so as to form an array with reduced coupling between adjacent antennas and with vertical polarisation, which is desirable for mobile communications applications.

Abstract: In order to provide a pulse power supply device using
regenerating magnetic energy stored in a discharge circuit to
a capacitor so as to use it as next discharge energy and supplying
a bipolar pulse current with high repetition, a bridge circuit
is composed of four inverse-conductive semiconductor switches,
a charged energy source capacitor is connected to a DC terminal
of the bridge circuit, and an inductive load is connected to
its AC terminal. A control signal is supplied to gates of the
inverse-conductive semiconductor switches, and a control is made
so that when a discharge current rises, is maintained or is reduced,
all the gates are turned off, and the magnetic energy of the
electric current can be automatically regenerated to the energy
source capacitor by a diode function of the switches. Further,
a large-current power supply is inserted into a discharge circuit
so as to replenish energy loss due to discharge, thereby enabling
high-repetition discharge.
