Title: Cancelling non-linear echo during full duplex communication in a hands free communication system.
Inventor: RAHBAR KAMRAN
IPC: G10L21/02
Filed: 2007-09-14
Abstract: Disclosed is a non-linear echo canceller and method for cancelling echo during full duplex communication in a hands free communication system. An input signal from a far-end talker and an input signal from the output from an echo canceller are received. K spectral sub bands are created for each input signal.

Title: Virtual Fieldbus Module
Inventor: HILEMON CHRISTOPHER G
IPC: G05B19/042
Filed: 2008-06-18
Abstract: In a process control system which monitors temperature, pressure and flow in machinery via field devices (16-22), a virtual fieldbus firmware module plugs into an ordinary fieldbus device making it act as a complex device (101) capable of maintaining multiple fieldbus addresses despite such virtual devices not having a physical connection (14) to the network (12). Each virtual sub-device (102-106) merely appears to the network as an additional physical connection, which avoids the difficulties associated with sorting data communicating the health of multiple machines over one address and with pinpointing the source of an alarm. Packets are processed in order to determine whether the address in each packet matches any of those registered in the complex fieldbus device.

Title: Advanced excitation of an electric machine
Inventor: CLOTHIER ANDREW CHARLTON
IPC: H02P6/08
Filed: 2009-04-04
Abstract: As the permanent-magnet rotor of an electric machine accelerates, it induces an increasing back-emf in a winding of the machine. It therefore becomes increasingly difficult to drive power into the electric machine. The invention is a method of controlling an electric machine according to the speed of the machine. Over a first speed range a winding of the electric machine is excited in synchrony with zero-crossings of back emf in the winding. Over a second speed range the winding is excited in advance of the zero-crossings by a fixed period of time T_ADV. Over a third speed range the winding is excited in advance of the zero-crossings by a period of time T_ADV that varies with speed. The electric machine may be a motor and is suitable for use in a vacuum cleaner.

Title: Width and thickness controlling shredder
Inventor: PAN YUNG-TAI
IPC: B02C18/00
Filed: 2009-07-21
Abstract: A shredder has three width sensors 202,203,204 and a thickness detector 205, 206 all in or adjacent to a shredding input path 201. Width and thickness measurements of items placed in the shredding path 201 are compared in a control unit which controls the stopping and starting of shredder cutter rollers. For items detected as narrow, a relatively greater thickness is permitted to be shredded in one go. For items detected as wide, a relatively lesser thickness is permitted to be shredded in one go. In example, greater thickness or number of A4 paper sheets can be shredded at once, than A3 paper sheets. This may prevent the shredder cutting rollers from becoming overloaded. The thickness detector may be made up of two thickness sensors using a two plates (2071, 2072, fig.5) occluding two light sensors (208,209 fig.5) to give a thickness reading.

Title: An improved process for the hydrogenation of hydrocarbon oils
Filed: 1931-04-09
Abstract: <PICT:0386299/III/1> In the hydrogenation of oils or coal-oil mixtures, to obtain either low boiling-point compounds or lubricating oils, by passing the oils with hydrogen through a heating coil 9 and reaction drum 12, the products passing from the drum 12 through a pipe 18 are rapidly cooled to below 650 DEG  F. before reaching heat exchangers 4, 4a, by admixture with cold condensate pumped from the separator 22 through pipes 24, 25.  The products are then further cooled by passage through the heat exchangers 4, 4a, where they give up heat to the crude oil delivered by a pump 1 through a pipe 2 in which it is mixed with hydrogen from a pipe 3, the preheated oil then passing through a pipe 8 to the cracking coil, to which additional hydrogenating gases may be supplied from a pipe 8a.  The cooled vapours are condensed in a coil 20 and separated from gaseous products in the separator 22, the gases being recirculated through a purifier 28, pump 29 and the pipe 8a.  Temperatures of 850-1050 DEG F. or 750-830 DEG  F. are maintained in the reaction zone according as to whether oils of low boiling-point or lubricating oils are required, the pressure being maintained above 20 atmospheres and preferably between 100-200 atmospheres.  The drum 12 may be filled with catalytic materials supported on trays or packed in lumps.

Title: Improvements in or relating to tape transport systems for magnetic tape apparatus
IPC: G11B15/38
Filed: 1963-03-18
Abstract: 979, 118. Feeding magnetic tapes. AMPEX CORPORATION. March 18, 1963 [March 30, 1962], No. 10648/63. Heading G5R. A high-speed magnetic tape feeding system including supply and take-up reels 16 and 17, a dual capstan means including oppositely rotating capstans 24 and 25 alternately engageable with the tape, and moderate inertia compliance means 30 and 31, adjacent each of the reels and providing adjustable tape lengths, is characterized in that a pair of low inertia variable differential pressure compliance means 40 and 41 are disposed each adjacent a different one of the capstans and each continuously tensioning the tape on either side of the engaged capstan. Each of the low inertia mechanisms 40 and 41 comprises a chamber having an open end closed by a loop of the tape 11 and provided with a front wall 47 which is hinged for cleaning and may be transparent for visual inspection. A slot 50 in the rear wall of each chamber communicates with a plenum chamber (not shown in Fig. 2) connected by an orifice to a common vacuum source. The side walls of each chamber diverge slightly to alter the tension/loop length characteristic, and in operation the tape is drawn into each chamber by differential pressure and normally occupies a position intersecting the slot 50. Openings 65 communicate with the plenum chamber to prevent destruction of the pressure differential if the tape moves past the end of the slot. Variations in tension produced by the vacuum chambers are communicated to compliance means 30 or 31 which may be used to govern the rotation of the associated reel 16 or 17.
