Patent GB-2451273-A (GB)
Title: Insulation system for ducts
Inventor: HARRIS GORDON JAMES
IPC: E04F17/02
Filed: 2007-07-26
Abstract: An insulation system in which 'T' bars are attached to rectangular ducts. The 'T' bars can be pre fitted with locating dowels (or dowels can be fitted during assembly). The 'T' bars allow rapid assembly of rigid insulation to the duct and securely locate them. The system can be adapted for vertical ducts as well as horizontal ducts. Insulated Flange Breathers can be incorporated to allow the release of any pressurised air leaking through the flange to escape to atmosphere. External Insulation is protected by rigid capping (retained by strapping) to its top surface and with flexible or rigid waterproof coverings to side and bottom surfaces. Additional 'slabfix' adaptors can be used where required to further retain the insulation slabs, particularly on large ducts. The system can be used for internal as well as external ducts.

Title: Control of a Movable Barrier with Obstacle Detection based upon a Runtime Compensated Force Threshold Value
Inventor: JURADO CARLOS
IPC: E05F15/00
Filed: 2008-06-09
Abstract: A movable barrier operator having a motor controller 10 and motor 11 that control movement of a movable barrier 12, and also has an obstacle detector 14 that utilizes an automatically determined excess force threshold value to permit reliable detection of an obstruction. A wide variety of operational circumstances such as, changing physical circumstances, aging components, temperature variations, and motor runtime may be detected by the obstacle detector. Preferably, a characteristic force value for the system is frequently updated as a function of actual measured force required to move the barrier determined from motor current and compensated with respect to temperature and other conditions such as motor runtime. This characteristic force value is then utilized to determine the excess force threshold value. The duration of motor operation is sensed and either on-time or off-time may be used to determine the motor operation compensation value, particularly at low temperature.

Title: Estimating a leakage current in a semiconductor device
Inventor: DO KYUNG-TAE
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 2009-08-28
Abstract: A method of estimating a leakage current in a semiconductor device comprises dividing a chip including a plurality of cells into segments by a grid model. Spatial correlation is determined between process parameters concerned with the leakage currents in each of the cells. A virtual cell leakage characteristic function of the cell is generated by arithmetically operating actual leakage characteristic functions. A segment leakage characteristics function is generated by arithmetically operating the virtual cell leakage characteristic functions of each cell in the segment. Then, a full chip leakage characteristic function is generated by statistically operating the segment leakage characteristic functions of each segment in the chip. Accordingly, the computational loads of Wilkinson's method for generating the full chip leakage characteristic function may be remarkably reduced.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the treatment of gases rich in hydrogen sulphide
Inventor: SILVER LEONARD
IPC: C10K1/10
Filed: 1951-05-04
Abstract: Gases rich in hydrogen sulphide containing both ammonia and carbon dioxide impurities are purified and rendered suitable for the production of sulphur or sulphuric acid by washing the gases with water to remove ammonia and carbon dioxide, passing air or an inert gas through the aqueous liquor obtained and returning the air or inert gas with desorbed hydrogen sulphide to the washing stage.  The gases treated may be those resulting from the treatment of gas washing liquors with steam, consisting of hydrogen sulphide carbon dioxide and hydrogen cyanide, after treatment as in Specification 695,496 to convert the hydrogen cyanide to ammonia.  In an example, such a gas mixture, cooled to 240 DEG C. is passed to a bubble-cap column containing 10 plates, the gas inlet being between the second and third plates from the bottom.  Water at 15 DEG C. is passed to the top of the column and air is passed into the base of the column to strip the hydrogen sulphide from the liquor passing over the plates below the gas inlet.  A mixture of air and hydrogen sulphide is withdrawn at the top.  The liquor withdrawn from the bottom of the column may be added to the ammoniacal liquor of a coal gas purification system.
