Patent EP-1078673-A3 (EP)
Inventor: ABE TETSUYA
IPC: G01N30/88
Filed: 2000-08-18
Abstract: A raw gas containing a gas component A with low affinity
with an adsorbent and a gas component C with high affinity with
the adsorbent are sequentially supplied to at least three
adsorption columns, while an adsorption gas containing a gas
component D which differs from the gas components A and C is
supplied to each of the adsorption columns other than the one
to which the raw gas is being supplied. When the raw gas is
supplied to the adsorption columns, the gas component A having
lower affinity with the adsorbent exits the adsorption columns
earlier than the gas component C having higher affinity. The
gas components A and C can thus be separated from each other.
When a gas including an enriched gas component A is discharged
from the outlet of each adsorption column, the full amount is
extracted out of the system. When a gas including an enriched
gas component C is discharged from the outlet of each
adsorption column, the full amount is extracted out of the
system. When the gas mixture containing the gas components A
and C is discharged from the exit of each adsorption column,
all the discharged gas is fed back to the inlet of the
adsorption column to which the raw gas is being supplied. It
is possible to efficiently and sequentially separate the gas
components A and C with this simple structure.

Abstract: A cartesian amplifier system for pre-distorting a signal to be amplified to take
account of non-linearities and other non-ideal characteristics of the amplifier itself. 
     A signal to be amplified is divided into quadrature and in-phase signal
components in a digital signal processor 1. The processor 1 also pre-distorts the
resolved quadrature and in-phase components using various pre-distortion factors.
These pre-distortion factors are derived on the basis of a feedback signal from a
measurement of the output signal power from the amplifier and on the basis of the
signal levels of the pre-distorted resolved components themselves. These pre-distortion
factors are constantly updated, thus taking into account any shifts in the
non-ideal characteristics of the amplifier.

Abstract: Fault detection in a multi-phase electrical transmission line (30, 32, 34) is
accomplished by providing detectors (36, 38, etc.) at each end of a line section
which detect the current flowing into and out of the line section and output a value
of the current. The outputs of the detectors are processed in a microprocessor-controlled
relay unit (80, 82, 84) by calculating the phasor relationship between the
instantaneous current flowing in the line section and the voltage, thereby
determining whether there is a component of the current vector in the same
direction as the voltage vector. If there is a component of current in phase with the
voltage, then a fault is present in that line section.

Abstract: A compact expanding gate valve (10) having a valve body (17) defining a flowway (18,20) and having
spaced internal seat rings (72,74). Guide elements project internally from the valve body. A valve stem
driven gate and segment assembly (40,80) is movable within the valve body between open and closed
positions relative to the seat rings and has control arms mounted by actuating pins to each side
of gate and segment members of the gate and segment assembly. The control arms are movable
linearly with the gate and segment assembly and are disposed in guided relation with the guide
elements during opening and closing movement. During initial movement of the gate and segment
assembly from the closed position, the pinned connection of the control arms to the gate member
and the segment member causes the control arms to pivot responsive to relative linear movement
of the gate and segment members and apply collapsing force to the gate and segment members
to collapse the gate and segment assembly to minimize frictional contact thereof with the seat
rings and permit its movement by the valve stem from the closed position to the open position.

Abstract: A power electrical system (37) is disclosed to connect a microturbine (12) and an electrical machine (14) to electrical power sources (18, 44) and a load (16). The invention permits the microturbine to be started using an external DC power source (18) and/or an external AC power source (44). DC power is converted to AC power by means of a buck-boost chopper (30), DC bus (24) and a DC-to-AC converter (42). AC power, from the AC power source, is converted to frequencies and voltages suitable to start a microturbine by a pair of DC-to-AC converters (42, 46) and the DC bus (24). The frequency and voltage levels of the AC power are gradually increased to accelerate the microturbine to startup speed. Once the microturbine is started, the external power sources are disconnected, and the DC bus and the DC-to-AC converters produce output AC power at a voltage level and frequency to match an electrical load.
