Title: Method of converting liquid and/or solid fuel to a substantially inerts-free gas
IPC: C10J3/54
Filed: 1980-01-02
Granted: 1982-12-08
Abstract: The invention relates to the conversion of fuel (solid and/or liquid) to reducing and/or synthesis gas by contacting the fuel in a fluidized conversion bed (13) with a solid oxygen donor (e.g. CaSO4) at a fuel conversion temperature (e.g. 850 to 1150 DEG C) in the presence of at least one gas/vapour phase substance such as H2 and/or H2O and/or CO and/or CO2 which serves to promote and or mediate the transfer of oxygen from the donor to the fuel and preferably in the absence of non-reactive gases (e.g. N2) whereby the fuel is converted to a reducing and-or synthesis gas product by (inter alia) partial oxidation employing the oxygen of the solid oxygen donor, the latter being reduced (e.g. CaS). The reduced donor is exothermically oxidized in a fluidized oxidation bed (35) by contact with an oxygen-containing gas (e.g. air) and re-used for converting further quantities of fuel. Moieties (e.g. sulfur/sulfur compounds) whose presence is undesirable in the gas product may be removed by a solid moiety-fixing agent (e.g. CaO) in the conversion bed (13). The moiety-fixing properties of the latter are at least partly regenerated in a fluidized regenerator bed (48) by treatment in a suitable regenerating atmosphere, and the regenerated moiety-fixing agent is returned to the conversion bed (13) directly and/or indirectly via the oxidation bed (35).

IPC: H03F3/45
Filed: 1982-02-01
Granted: 1986-01-08
Abstract: A transconductance amplifier includes a differential transconductance amplifier stage (10, 11) and a differential correction amplifier stage (18, 19). In order to achieve substantially linear operation over a wide dynamic range, the effects of nonlinearities in the transconductance amplifier stage are substantially cancelled by the effects of nonlinearities in the correction amplifier stage. This is accomplished by cross-coupling the two stages and establishing the relative gain of the correction amplifier stage with respect to the transconductance amplifier stage such that the desired cancellation occurs. In a preferred embodiment, optimum cancellation occurs when the gain of the correction amplifier stage is substantially one-half the gain of the transconductance amplifier stage.

Granted: 1985-11-06
Abstract: A modification of a phase-locked loop comprises incorporating a variable delay element in the feedback path from the oscillator to the phase comparator. The delay is controlled by the signal at the input to the oscillator, and allows two phase-locked loops having different input delays to be interconnected and such that they stabilise at a common frequency. This arrangement may be used in a network of interconnected oscillator terminals to allow the terminals to synchronise even when only indirect paths exist between them. It is therefore highly fault tolerant.

Abstract: @ A pool cover (10) is alternatively reeled on a spool (18) and drawn across a pool (12) by a mechanism (14) in which a motor-driven shaft (20) reels in a cover sheet to uncover the pool and the free end (24) of the sheet is pulled by cords (28) reeled onto drums (30) connected to the driven shaft to cover the pool. The cords are reeled around the drums in the opposite direction from which the sheet is reeled around the spool, and the cords are entrained around direction reversing pulleys (32) at the opposite end of the pool, an arrangement which results in the cord being reeled on the drums as the sheet is paid out from the spool and vice-versa. The cord velocity and cover sheet velocity are attempted to be matched and held constant by winding the cords onto/from a conical cord drum for the cords. The cord is guided precisely onto and from a given diameter portion on the conical drum by a cord carriage.It is preferred to try to obtain a constant and uniform tension on the opposite beaded edges of the cover sheet and on the cords on opposite sides of the pool to prevent stack from developing in the cover sheet or cords. Herein, biasing means for the spool (18) and the cord drum are provided In the form of torsion springs (48) that connect the spool and cord drums (30) to the shaft (20). The torsion springs coil or uncoil to adjust somewhat the speeds of spool rotation and drum rotation with respect to the rotational speed of the shaft. The interconnection of the spool torsion springs and drum torsion springs maintain the sheet and cords under continuous tension.Limit switch means (174) in the form of magnetically actuated switches along the side of the pool are actuated by magnets (176) carried by the cover sheet (16) to stop reel-in or pay-out of sheet at the fully covering or fully uncovering positions of the sheet.

Abstract: A gaseous stream comprising nitrogen and solvent vapor istaken from a curing oven (not shown), is passed through preliminary heat exchangers 13 and 23, and enters a first heat exchanger 33 through conduit 30. Remaining vapor is condensed in the heat exchanger 33 by heat exchange with chilled medium entering the heat exchanger from conduit 52 and leaving via conduit 37. The medium then enters a second heat exchanger 43 via conduit 42 where it is chilled by liquid nitrogen supplied via conduit 47, the chilled medium being recycled to the first heat exchanger. The resulting vaporised nitrogen is supplied to form gas curtains at the entrance and/or exit of the oven. This nitrogen leaving the first heat exchanger 33 is used to supply a return stream to the interior of the oven at a rate that substantially matches that at which nitrogen is withdrawn from the oven. This enables a mass balance to be maintained in the oven atmosphere.
