Abstract: An arcing fault protection assembly and a corresponding method determine whether arcing is present in electrical circuits. The assembly powers-up quickly without dissipating excessive heat while power is being supplied to the assembly. The assembly comprises a sensor, a broadband noise circuit, a controller, and a dual-mode power supply. The sensor detects a current flowing in an electrical circuit and develops a corresponding sensor signal. The broadband noise circuit determines the presence of broadband noise in the sensor signal and produces a corresponding output signal. The controller processes the sensor signal and the output signal in a predetermined fashion to determine whether an arcing fault is present in the circuit. The dual-mode power supply supplies power to the sensor, broadband noise circuit and controller using a first mode and later switching to a second mode. The first mode reaches steady state faster than the second mode.

Title: Planar waveguide grating device having a passband with a flat-top and sharp-transitions
Inventor: HE JIAN-JUN
IPC: G02B6/34
Filed: 2001-06-12
Granted: 2004-08-24
Abstract: A passband flattened waveguide grating device and a method of designing the same are disclosed wherein the resulting spectral response has a wide flat passband and steep transitions. The method involves adjusting the phases of grating elements forming the grating to achieve the desired spectral response. The phase variation between adjacent grating elements comprises of, in addition to a multiple of 2.pi., a slow- varying central phase variation and an oscillatory phase variation. The resulting spectral response of the waveguide device accounts for the effect of convolution of the field distribution profiles of the input port and of the output ports of the device.

Abstract: The degree of degradation or oxidation of an oil sand ore feedstock is monitored by near infrared spectroscopy. A beam of near infrared radiation is directed onto the surface of oil sand ore, e.g. on a conveyor belt, to produce reflected radiation and distinctive spectral features are measured indicative of the degree of degradation or oxidation of the oil sand ore. These distinctive spectral features are selected from (a) recording a baseline spectrum shift with decreasing spectral intensity indicating increasing degradation or oxidation, (b) recording spectral peaks in the range 1150 to 1250 nm with said spectral peaks increasing with increasing degradation or oxidation, (c) recording spectral peaks in the range 1700 to 1800 nm with said spectral peaks decreasing with increasing degradation or oxidation and (d) recording spectral peaks in the range 1900 to 2000 nm with said spectral peaks increasing with increasing degradation or oxidation. The recorded spectral values are mathematically converted into signals for controlling operating conditions in an oil sand processing plant.

IPC: G10K9/12
Filed: 2001-03-19
Granted: 2012-05-22
Abstract: A reversing alarm (16) for a vehicle emits an audible signal in the form of pulses of broad band sound when the vehicle is put into reverse gear. The broad band sound allows persons in the vicinity to locate the vehicle, as the human brain is able to process broad band sound to pinpoint the location of the sound source in a way which is not possible with single tone sounds. The alarm (16) is implemented via a simple electronic circuit which uses a zener diode as a signal generator (20) to generate the broad band sound.
