Abstract: The present invention relates to a method pertaining to press filters of the kind which include a plurality of press plates (13). Pressure chambers (15), are formed between each pair of plates. A filter cake (16) is formed in each pressure chamber. Upon completion of the dewatering process the cakes are released from the chambers by separation of the press plates. The method is characterized in that emptying of the pressure chambers (15) is achieved by permitting each press plate (13) to rotate freely and swing about an axis (18) which extends generally horizontally through the plane of the plate, under the influence of the released filter cake (16). The press filter is constructed so that each press plate (13) is able to pivot in relation to the rails (14). The pulling devices by means of which the press plates are separated are attached to only one single coupling device (19) on each side of each press plate. The coupling devices (19) are placed on or in the immediate vicinity of the runner means, in other words in the proximity of the horizontal rail. <IMAGE>

Inventor: JOHANSSON HANS
IPC: B01D1/28
Filed: 1996-06-13
Abstract: In the evaporation of process wastewater comprising a mixture of different types of wastewater, problems arise due to the formation of reaction products, so-called incrustations, which are difficult to separate. These incrustations clog up the evaporator, thus necessitating frequent stoppages for chemical and mechanical cleaning of the evaporator. The invention concerns an improved method for concentrating process wastewater by evaporation. In this method, one acid process flow and one alkaline process flow are evaporated alternately in one and the same evaporator. With this method, precipitates that are difficult to separate are dissolved in the evaporator during the respective evaporations. As a result, stoppages motivated by the need to clean the evaporator may be avoided to the utmost possible extent, while less and cheaper processing equipment is required.

Patent GB-0109498-D0 (GB)
Title: Sound processing
IPC: H04S3/00
Filed: 2001-04-18
Abstract: The spatial radiation characteristics of a sounding object are encoded by spherical harmonics. The shape is decomposed (105) into a weighted sum of spherical harmonics, comprising at least the order 0 components and such higher orders as are deemed necessary. The weights are stored individually. Each shape as defined by the individual spherical harmonics is also used to calculate an impulse response for that spherical harmonic (106). These impulse responses are of a modified form where the impulse consists of sums of equally weighted components, so each time point can only take integer values for the size of the impulse at that point. The modified impulse responses are transformed into spherical harmonic form (107), after which the apparent orientation and distance of the sounding object may be varied. Any sound may be processed by using the impulse response so generated (111).

Title: Control of power semiconductor devices
Filed: 2006-09-13
Abstract: This invention relates to a control method and a circuit for MOS-gated power semiconductor switching devices such as IGBTs or MOSFETs, which allows control and optimisition of the current and voltage commutation of a power semiconductor switching device and freewheel diode pair in the basic half-bridge circuit found in a wide range of equipment. The method comprises the stages of: applying, upon receipt of a switch-on command signal, a voltage function to the control terminal or the gate of the power semiconductor switching device that allows a regulated current rise in the device whilst maintaining the voltage across the device falling at a predetermined rate; and at the instant when the voltage across the diode begins to change from the on-state towards the off-state level, applying a voltage function to the control terminal or the gate of the power semiconductor switching device to enable the voltage falling across the power semiconductor switching device to track the voltage falling across the diode in order to ensure a fast and controlled completion of the switching operation without diode reverse voltage overshoot. The gate drive automatically modifies the voltage function according to the working condition thereby accounting for the actual operating conditions.

Title: Polling for detection of power supply or other failures of a digital circuit
IPC: H03J5/24
Filed: 1992-05-01
Abstract: A television receiver includes a standby power supply, and an operational or run mode power supply. A microprocessor coupled to the standby power supply controls switching between a run mode, where the standby and run mode power supplies are operative, and a standby mode where only the standby supply is operative. The switching is normally made in response to switch inputs or in response to a signal from a remote controller. The microprocessor is in digital communication with a digital circuit, such as a phase locking tuner, over a bidirectional data bus. The microprocessor is programmed to poll the digital circuit periodically and to monitor the data on the data bus for an expected response to a poll. When the digital circuit fails to respond to the poll, or responds inappropriately, as may occur with lack of adequate power to the digital circuit from the run power supply, the microprocessor automatically switches into the standby mode and disables the run supply. The microprocessor switches back into the run mode upon command, unless data stored in memory indicates a recent or repeated automatic change into the standby mode after a detected failure.
