Patent EP-2056209-B1 (EP)

Abstract: Circuits and methods for interconnecting a live backplane and at least one I/O card are provided. This invention provides interconnection circuitry that utilizes buffer circuitry to connect the data and clock busses of the backplane to the data and clock busses of the I/O card in a "hot-swappable" fashion. Buffer circuitry also isolates the capacitance associated with the backplane from the capacitance associated with the I/O card. For example, when at least one signal is driven from the backplane to the I/O card, the signal need only overcome the capacitance associate with the backplane. Conversely, when at least one signal is driven from the I/O card to the backplane, the signal need only overcome the capacitance associated with the I/O card. Hence, this capacitive isolation facilitates signal propagation between the backplane and the I/O card ( Fig. 1 ).

Abstract: In a cycloconverter generator, AC power required by the load is detected (S10)and a desired speed of the engine is determined based on the required AC power (S12), operation of an actuator is controlled such that the engine speed becomes equal to the desired engine speed (S14), and the required AC power is generated by turning on switching elements (thyristors) such that a number of the phase signal within one period of frequency of the AC power, becomes equal to a number determined by the desired engine speed (S16, S18), thereby preventing undesirable increase in fuel consumption and noise by operating the engine at a speed corresponding to required AC power and enabling to generate stable AC power even when the engine speed changes abruptly.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a retractable ladder which is a common climbing tool in daily life and engineering industry. The retractable ladder comprises a pedal operated unlock device, section-positioning lock devices and an accidental operation preventing device. The main components of the unlock device is disposed in the first ladder section and enclosure caps at upper ends of each ladder section, except for the uppermost ladder section, are provided with the lock devices and unlock nose spikes. The retractable ladder is changed from an extended state to a folded state simply by operating the unlock device with foot of the user so as to release the lock of the ladder. Consequently, the retractable ladder will automatically retract to descend all of the ladder sections from top to bottom in turn. When the ladder is changed from the folded state to the extended state, section-positioning pins are pulled out downwardly from the uppermost ladder section so as to lock the ladder sections. The retractable ladder of the present invention is configured to extend and retract conveniently, and the use of the ladder is very easy. Further, the retractable ladder is advantageous in ease of assembling and maintenance, meanwhile, safety is ensured so as to prevent hurts of hands of the user which may occur when a manual retractable ladder is used. In addition, the retractable ladder has advantages of low cost, safe operation and prominent improvements to the art.

Abstract: Combustion air preheated to 550 DEG  C. is forced into a suspension of powdered coal in water preheated to 100 DEG  C. in a portion of a burner upstream of the burner orifice. Air passes into the preheated suspension through a porous wall separating the end portion of the air duct from the suspension duct, and its heat content is sufficient to vaporize the water of the suspension, while the amount of air flow is such as to provide approximately stoichiometric proportions of coal and air. Preheating is done by recuperators, through which the combustion product gases from the furnace flow before being discharged at a temperature low enough for evaporating condensed water.

Abstract: A laser nephelometric system measures the concentration of various substances in a solution particularly in blood or serum. The system receives a number of data elements each indicative of the intensity of light scattered from the solution at its sampling time. These data elements are processed in accordance with a statistical analysis. Based upon the fact that the relative variation of the scattered light intensity increases as the scattered light decreases, a first screening of data elements is performed so that the band of selection for data elements accords with the above fact. Further a second screening of data elements is performed in order to reduce the effect of the unnecessary light resulting from the other reflecting objects, such as dust, air bubbles and other substances. The average of the screened data elements provides an accurate value of the intensity of scattered light due to the substances to be measured, i.e. measurand.

Abstract: It is an object of this invention to provide a dry form of curcumin-containing colorant which remains stable for extended periods of time, even when packaged with a normally alkaline dry powder. 
<??>The colorant curcumin is sensitive to pH and changes or loses color upon contact with alkaline media, including dry powders. The present invention stabilizes the curcumin against color changes by maintaining the curcumin itself at low, stable pH values, while not upsetting the pH balance of a dry food mix which may be placed in contact therewith. Preferably, the pH of the curcumin is maintained at a value within the range of from about 3.5 to  about 4.5, and comprises a spray-dried intimate mixture of curcumin, an organic acid, a buffer, a dispersant for the curcumin and a film-forming encapsulant. A preferred use of the colorant is in dry mixes for instant puddings which are alkaline due to the salts employed to cause setting.
