Patent GB-201101431-D0 (GB)
Title: A switch arrangement
Filed: 2011-01-27
Abstract: A switch arrangement 400 is provided for an electric motor or generator 500 having a plurality of coil windings that during operation of the electric motor or generator 500 are electrically coupled to form a star point connection and that are arranged to have different AC voltage phases applied across the respective coil windings from an inverter. The switch arrangement 400 includes a rectifier Da-Df arranged to be coupled to the respective plurality of coil windings, and the rectifier Da-Df provides the rectified AC current to a DC output Idc. A switch QA coupled across the rectifier DC output Idc is operable to electrically isolate the plurality of coil windings from each other to provide protection in the event of a short circuit in the inverter. Unwanted currents and braking torque of the motor 500 are prevented by a single switch QA. A voltage clamping device 430 may be connected in parallel with the switch QA to absorb energy from the coil windings.

Title: Oil mist separation in gas turbine engines
Filed: 2011-08-12
Abstract: A rotor stage is provided which comprises a shank passage for separating liquid from secondary air system (SAS) air. The shank passage is formed between a radially outer surface of a disc post, a radially inner surface of one or more blade platforms, and the shanks of two neighbouring blades. In use, SAS air is supplied to the shank passage. Any liquid, such as oil, is separated from the SAS air due to the centripetal acceleration of the rotation of the rotor disc. The separated oil can then flow, or seep, past the blade platform and into the working fluid. The remainder of the SAS air passes through a hole in a sealing plate at the downstream end of the rotor stage, thereby providing SAS air with a lower liquid content for use downstream of the rotor stage. A corresponding method is also provided.

Title: Graphics processing systems
Filed: 2011-09-22
Abstract: In a tile-based graphics processing system having plural rendering processors, the set of tiles 31 to be processed to generate an output frame 30 for display is partitioned among the different rendering processors by defining respective tile traversal paths 32, 33, 34, 35 for each rendering processor that start at a tile initially allocated to the processor and that, at least for the initial tiles along the path, traverse to spatially adjacent tiles in the output, and that will traverse every tile to be rendered if followed to their end. The next tile for a given rendering processor to process is then selected as being the next tile along its defined path, unless the next tile in the path has already been processed (or is already being processed) by another rendering processor, in which case the next tile to be allocated to the rendering processor is selected to be a free tile further on in the tile traversal path for that processor.

Abstract: A silica hydrogel is contacted with a hydroxy-containing organic compound which is not completely miscible with water but which is sufficiently miscible with water so as to remove water, and thereafter the organic compound is removed by heating in an inert atmosphere prior to activation by heating in air. The heating in the inert atmosphere allows utilizing preferred organic compounds such as C<sub>5</sub> and C<sub>6</sub> alcohols which are desirable from a commercial standpoint because of the easy separation for recycle. In a preferred embodiment, the hydrogel is aged at a pH of 7 to 9 by means of either adding a base or by utilizing a chromium component containing bound nitrogen.
