Patent AU-743729-B2 (AU)
Title: Sewage sludge recycling with a pipe cross-reactor
Inventor: GREER GARY D
IPC: C05G5/00
Filed: 1998-05-07
Granted: 2002-01-31
Abstract: An improved process for enhancing the plant nutrient value of relatively low analysis organic waste material (e.g., sewage sludge) involves treating the waste material with an acid and base in a pipe-cross reactor. The process more particularly involves mixing the waste material with water to form a slurry (or initially taking the waste material as a slurry); pumping the slurry to a pipe-cross reactor for reaction with a base, acid, and water to form a melt: spraying the melt onto a recycling bed of fines in a granulator and flashing off the water contained in the melt as steam; rolling the melt onto recycled fine particles in a granulator to form granulated particles; and drying these granulated particles to form an enhanced plant nutrient value composition (e.g., a fertilizer or soil conditioner having a greater “NPK” value than the original relatively low analysis organic waste material). The invention also includes fertilizers produced according to the improved process, which fertilizers are of the same size and shape and density of commonly used fertilizers. The method advantageously utilizes the heat generated by the exothermic acid-base reaction in the pipe-cross reactor to remove the approximately 80% water from sludge, thus saving large amounts of energy normally used in conventional drying or burning methods, while, at the same time, conserving the intrinsic values of the nutrients and humates contained in the sludge. In one embodiment, the process includes a method of disposing of spent acid from a hot dip galvanizing process or a steel pickling process involving incorporating the spent acid to maintain the low pH of a venturi scrubber used in the improved process.

Patent AU-652181-B2 (AU)
Title: Membranes
Inventor: KANER RICHARD B
IPC: B01D53/22
Filed: 1991-08-27
Granted: 1994-08-18
Abstract: Dopable, fully dense polymer membranes are used to form membranes having selective permeabilities. To improve selectivity, the membranes may be subjected to chemical or electrochemical treatment with electron donors or acceptors to alter the doping level of the polymer membrane, generally in a reversible fashion. This leads to significant changes in gas permeation rates relative to what is observed for the non-doped, fully dense polymers. This change in doping level of the polymer films can be precisely controlled by varying the concentration and nature of chemical dopants used. Desirable changes in permeation rates are achieved by a treatment which comprises a reversal doping of the polymeric material, followed by removal of the dopants (to provide an "undoped" polymer). Further addition of controlled amounts of at least one dopant species to the undoped polymer by a second, "redoping" procedure can still more dramatically change the permeability of large species, leading to particularly large separation factors.

Title: Room ventilation system with adjustable inlet louvres - has dual independent thermostatic control of louvres using difference controller
IPC: F24F7/04
Filed: 1968-10-26
Abstract: Air i s introduced into a room (R) through adjustable blade louvres (L). The air temp. is regulated by a heater battery (W) in the supply duct and the battery is controlled by a room thermostat (RT1). The blades of the louvres are adjusted to vary the direction of the incoming air in accordance with the difference between the room temp. and the supply air temp. Stratification can thus be avoided at all temp. conditions. This control is effected by a second room thermostat (RT2) and a duct stat (KT) working through a difference measuring controller (Re) and a positioning motor (St). Accurate control can be obtained in both summer and winter because this control is independent of the supply air temp. control.

Title: Impulse generator for bipolar pulses - consists of cascade formation of multivibrators or blocking oscillators
IPC: H03K3/30
Filed: 1970-08-20
Abstract: An impulse generator is presented as one of a set of similar generators. The generator produces a square pulse of one polarity, followed immediately by a pulse of the opposite polarity, the pulse width and frequency being determined by the components in the circuit. This kind of output may be produced by cascaded multivibrators and this is briefly mentioned, but the main presentation is of what amounts to cascaded blocking oscillators, the second being triggered from the recovery overshoot of the first. A feedback loop from second to first stage is also incorporated in this arrangement. A further circuit is presented which clamps overshoots and filters the output to produce pulse chains in which each bipolar pulse is sinusoidal in shape.

Patent DE-2162082-B2 (DE)
Title: Electric monitoring device for gap alterations - indicates clearance alteration between turbine moving blades and casing
IPC: F01D21/04
Filed: 1971-12-14
Abstract: Monitoring device indicates gap alterations between moving blading and casing in steam or gas turbines, in which a low alternating voltage, e.g. 0.5 volts, is available for indicating contacts between running blades, and casing, the voltage being applied over the earth brushes of the running gear. This voltage is provided from a direct current battery. As soon as, for example, contact occurs between guide blade and running blade, a very short circuit current flow over the earth brush which has the effect of lowering the alternating voltage. Thus the required voltage is no longer received by a contact relay via an amplifier and this sets off an alarm current circuit which either causes the occurrence to be indicated or the turbine to be adjusted.

IPC: F16H63/50
Filed: 1995-04-10
Granted: 2002-08-19
Abstract: The present invention is characterized in that it comprises signal detecting means located before the automatic transmission mechanism for detecting the timing that torque outputted from a torque converter of said automatic transmission at the moment of shifting up changes from clutch before shift to clutch after shift, signal detecting means located after the automatic transmission mechanism for detecting the timing that torque outputted from a torque converter of said automatic transmission at the moment of shifting down changes from clutch before shift to clutch after shift, and means for executing said driving shaft torque control in response to the changes in said both torque signal detecting means. The present invention may detect accurately the moment in which driving shaft torque is most controllable, i.e., the clutch shifting timing so that shocks of gear change may sufficiently be suppressed. Also, as said starting timing of the compensatory control of torque matches with detecting means for detecting clutch shifting, experimental matching for each shift is not required and experimental steps may be eliminated. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The rotary drive device for the sleeve or the work holder of an erosion machine has two electric motors (8a, 8b) which each drive, for example, the sleeve (2) in a rotary movement via a transmission (6a, 6b) and gears (5a, 5b, 7a, 7b, 4). So that any backlash in the transmission and the gears is neutralised and the elasticity of the drive line is compensated, the two electric motors always run in different directions or at different rates. The entire drive line is thus always under a certain preloading, which permits accurate positioning with simple and inexpensive drive elements. <IMAGE>
