Title: Self-cleaning pulsed air cleaner
IPC: B01D46/04
Filed: 1981-10-01
Abstract: An air cleaning apparatus is disclosed in several embodiments. In one set of embodiments there is described an air cleaning apparatus (20) in which air to be cleaned is drawn toward and through a filter (41, 42, 43) in a particular direction. Periodically, reverse pulses of air are directed through the filter (41, 42, 43) in a direction opposite to the normal flow to interrupt the flow of air and to dislodge collected particles from the uncleaned air side of the filter and to enable migration of the particles towards the downstream lower end of the filter (32). In accordance with other embodiments of the present invention, there is described the addition of inertial precleaner devices (319, 319a, 319b) located proximate the unfiltered side of each filter for inertially separating heavy particulate matter from the uncleaned air prior to filtration. In addition the inertial precleaner devices (319, 319a, 319b) may have closure means (328a, 261a, 514) operable during the periodic reverse pulse cleaning to remove the dislodged collected particles and prevent reentrainment on the filter (286, 306).

Patent GB-2168208-A (GB)
Title: A battery charging circuit
Inventor: PARK BEOM CHUL
IPC: H02J7/04
Filed: 1985-11-20
Abstract: When the battery BT approaches a fully charged state, a thermostat switch TS opens thereby turning off a thyristor 4 resulting in turn off of transistor Q1, Q2, thus terminating the charging current and the energisation of a charging indicator 2. At the start of charging, thyristor 4 is triggered on by a pulse applied through capacitor C1 on connection of the supply B+ to the charger. Alternatively, if the supply B+ is already connected, the charging current may be turned on automatically on connection of a discharged battery which provides a trigger pulse for thyristor 4 via capacitor C2. If the thyristor 4 fails to turn on, due to noise on connection of supply B+ or due to connection of a thoroughly discharged battery, the thyristor 4 may be turned on manually on operating a charge starting switch SW1. The transistor Q2 may be part of a circuit 1 which supplies a constant current to the battery. <IMAGE>
