Patent AU-606212-B2 (AU)
Title: Converter device
Inventor: HASPESLAGH DIDIER RENE
IPC: H03K9/06
Filed: 1988-09-26
Granted: 1991-01-31
Abstract: Converter device for converting a PDM signal to an analog signal (OUT11/12). This device includes a main circuit comprising a conversion circuit (CC1) to which are supplied a PDM signal and control signals (CL1, CL2) which are dependent on supply voltages VDD and VSS, and an integrator circuit (LPF1). In a regulating circuit (CC2, LPF2, COMP2, PWM2) a reference signal (PDMR) is converted and integrated in the same way as the PDM signal and measurement signals (V21, V22) are generated which are function of the deviations of VDD and VSS from their normal value respectively. With these signals the respective control signals are compensated in such a manner that the converted signal (011/12) provided by the conversion circuit (CC1) becomes independent from these deviations.

Date Apr. 1, 1993An apparatus and method are disclosed for extruding a product which comprises a longitudinal component, e.g. a tubular sheet and/or longitudinal filaments in a circular array, and transverse filaments which follow a helical path relative to the longitudinal component, whereby the product may consist of a lattice or a reinforced sheet material. The transverse filaments are formed by cooperation between two die parts (101; 102) to which relative movement is imparted so that one part (102) performs a rocking motion progressing around a circular path to influence the extrusion orifice, without rotation of the die parts. The extrusion orifice may comprise an annular slot defined between two die members (106; 108) of the first die part (101) which is held stationary, while the second die part (102) extends around the first part and has an edge for alternatively opening and at least partially closing the slot at each point along its annular extent in response to the relative circular rocking movement imparted to the second part (FIG. 7). Alternatively, the extrusion orifice may be defined between cooperating frusto-spherical surfaces (4, 8) of the two die parts (3, 7) with the inner die part having a groove (9) which is alternately exposed and concealed due to circular rocking motion imparted to this die part (FIG. 1).

Title: A method for matching a colour formulation
Inventor: KETTLER WILHELM
IPC: C09D7/80
Filed: 1997-09-08
Granted: 2000-10-26
Abstract: The reflection area of a colour tone of a coloured surface coating is determined with a Gonio spectral-photometer over the visible spectral region under variation of the measuring angle. From the measured reflection factors or radiance factors, the associated standard colour values and/or the vectors derived from it are calculated in CIE-LAB colour space. Subsequently, from a database using the reflection spectra or the colorimetric yardsticks derived from it, those recipes and/or colour tones are identified, which are most similar in its reflection characteristics. With the help of a computational matrix, the determined angle-dependent colour difference between the target colour tone, and the actual colour tone can be adjusted, i.e. minimized and a corrected receptor to the colour tone, by means of a function-minimising algorithm.

Title: Method and apparatus for upgrading carbonaceous fuel
Inventor: KOPPELMAN EDWARD
IPC: C10L9/00
Filed: 1993-09-21
Granted: 1997-02-20
Abstract: The present invention is concerned with upgrading the BTU values of carbonaceous materials. The carbonaceous material is introduced into a heat exchanger and is injected with gas such as an inert gas or carbon dioxide at a high pressure to raise the pressure at which the upgrading process is carried out. The carbonaceous material is then heated to the desired temperature by circulating a heat exchange medium throughout at least one vessel which is in contact with the carbonaceous material. Water and other by-products such as tar and gases are recovered during this process. The heated water may be used as a source of pre-heating feed material in another vessel.

Title: Value transfer system
Inventor: EVERETT DAVID BARRINGTON
IPC: G06Q20/36
Filed: 1996-05-09
Granted: 1999-02-18
Abstract: The invention is concerned with systems for transferring value between electronic purses, usually in the form of IC or "Smart" cards, via the intermediary of an interface device. In order to control the flow of value between purses a hierarchical class structure is proposed. This is achieved by assigning to each purse a class which controls the conditions under which value may be transferred to and from (mainly from) a purse. Thus each purse stores in memory a representation of its own class, together with a list of those classes to which the purse can transfer value.

Granted: 2002-07-11
Abstract: A redox flow battery composed of a plurality of cells in electrical series defined by a stacked and repetitive arrangement of a conductive intercell separator having a generally bipolar function, a positive electrode, an ion exchange membrane, a negative electrode and another conductive intercell separator, is operated by flowing a positive half-cell electrolyte containing reducible and oxidizable ions of a first redox couple through the compartments containing the positive electrodes and a negative half-cell electrolyte containing reducible and oxidizable ions of a second redox couple through the compartments containing the negative electrodes in cascade in a counter or equi-current mode. The difference of cell voltage between the first and the last cell of the stack is sensibly reduced and by-pass currents are substantially eliminated thus resulting in an increased overall faradic efficiency. A cell stack architecture provided with ducting for implementing the two counter current cascaded flows of the positive and negative electrolytes is described. The alternated used of cationic and anionic membranes compensate for unbalanced water transport through the membranes.
