Abstract: The invention concerns a rotary distribution apparatus (30) for distributing process liquids, typically in ion exchange and chromato-graphic separation in the processing of sugar juice. The apparatus includes a core (2) into which fixed process liquid supply pipes (3) extend and an-nular fluid distribution chambers defined between the core and an outer shell (4) which rotates around the core. Rotating pipes (5) are provided which rotate with the shell and which are connected between selected dis-tribution chambers and selected ports in a rotating indexing disc (6) which rotates, with the shell, relative to a stationary indexing disc (7). The ar-rangement is such that as the rotating disc rotates, different streams of pro-cess liquid streams fed to the rotating disc through the rotating pipes are introduced to fixed ports in the stationary disc. The latter ports are ar-ranged to feed the streams selectively to selected destinations. According to the invention interstage pumps operating to pump the process liquids are mounted to rotate about the core with the rotating pipes and the rotat-ing indexing disc. This leads to a particularly simple design compared to conventional simulated moving bed configurations with fixed pumps.

Abstract: An electric drive mechanism for a body, wherein said body has a plurality of load bearing track engaging wheels that allow said body to move back and forth along a track. An electric motor drives a non-load bearing drive wheel that is attached with respect to said body so that it engages a stationary surface adjacent said body through a drive coupling means between said electric motor and the drive wheel. Actuation of said electric motor means causes rotation of said drive wheel which moves said body along said tracks. Typically a controller controls the movement of the shelves in one direction and another in the other. Other features include a low power warning system, the inoperability of other motors when one is being operated and a disable facility if a motor has not been active for some time.

Title: Fixing device for catalyser particles
Inventor: HAMEL STEFAN
IPC: B01J8/02
Filed: 2009-01-23
Abstract: With the help of a fixing device for catalyser particles, wherein the catalyser particles are packed in a bed which can be passed through by a gas flow in the direction of gravity, it is intended to achieve a minimum specific pressure loss which will remain low even if dirt should arise from the operating process; a fixing device which has a minimum influence on the period of presence of the gas flowing through; which ensures the reliable hold-down of the catalyser particles even at high approach velocities; and which is flexible to a certain degree in order to adapt to bed changes.   This is achieved by placing at least one layer of a metal braiding (10) on the packed bed (3) of the catalyser particles, and the metal braiding (10) consisting of individual metal braiding elements (11) which are firmly braided together.

Title: Separable connector with reduced surface contact
Inventor: HUGHES DAVID CHARLES
IPC: H01R13/53
Filed: 2009-02-10
Abstract: Separating connector assemblies of a separable connector system. The separable connector assemblies include one or more pairs of connectors configured to engage and disengage one another in electrical connection and disconnection operations, respectively. An operator can disengage the connectors by pushing the connectors together and then pulling the connectors apart. Pushing the connectors together shears interface adhesion between the connectors, making it easier for the operator to pull the connectors apart. One of the connectors can include a nose end having an undercut segment configured to not engage an interior surface of the other connector when the connectors are engaged. Limiting the surface area of the nose end that interfaces with the interior surface of the other connector reduces surface adhesion and a pressure drop when separating the connectors, making separation easier to perform.

Abstract: An excitation winding (104) and a field winding (102) are provided. A smoothing capacitor (113) smoothes a current of the excitation winding (104) and inputs it to the field winding (102). A transistor (110) is driven to control an output of the generator winding (103). A diode (112) prevents a field current from flowing in a reverse direction. A transistor (10) connected to the diode (112) is driven in a phase reverse to a phase of a drive signal of the transistor (110). A duty monitor 1 determines whether a duty ratio of the drive signal of the transistor (110) is larger than a reference duty ratio, and when the duty monitor 1 determines that the duty ratio of the drive signal is larger than the reference duty ratio, an unit (2) extends an output cycle of the drive signal by thinning out the drive signal.
