Title: Method for regulating an electrolytic cell
Inventor: BONNARDEL OLIVIER
IPC: C25C3/20
Filed: 2002-02-26
Granted: 2011-07-05
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for regulating an electrolytic cell for the production of aluminium by the reduction of alumina dissolved in a melted cryolite bath. According to the invention, solidified bath talus (15) is formed on the internal walls of the tank (2) and a quantity B, called the talus evolution indicator is determined, which is sensitive to the evolution of said solidified bath talus. Subsequently, at least one of the tank regulation means (such as the anode-metal distance (H)) and/or at least one control operation (such as the addition of AlF¿3?) is modified according to the value obtained for said indicator. The indicator can be determined from electric measurements on the tank and/or from measurements in relation to the liquid metal surface. The inventive method can be used to regulate effectively an electrolytic cell having intensities that can reach up to 500 kA with an electrolytic bath having an AlF¿3? content greater than 11 % and to reduce noticeably the number of AlF¿3? content measurements taken for the bath.

Abstract: Apparatus for shaping an optical beam bundle carrying a plurality of substantially parallel optical beams disposed in a common plane of travel. First reflective facets and second reflective facets are provided, the first reflective facets being oriented so as to deflect the optical beams of the bundle into a plurality of intermediate, substantially non-parallel optical beams. Each of the second reflective facets is spatially disposed so as to receive a respective one of the intermediate optical beams at a different respective distance from the plane of travel of the optical beam bundle. Also, the second reflective facets are oriented so as to deflect the intermediate optical beams into a bundle of substantially parallel output optical beams. In this way, the output beam can be more adapted for a particular application. In certain cases, this also achieves increased brightness of a laser beam through reduced output beam divergence and/or total cross-sectional area.

Abstract: A method for evaluating the accuracy of a current transformer is presented. The current transformer has a primary winding and a secondary winding. A current is not circulated through the primary winding. A load is disconnected from the current transformer. A load impedance is measured of an internal instrumentation associated with the current transformer. The resistance in the secondary winding of the current transformer is determined. The load impedance is compared to a standard burden. A standard burden value is selected. The secondary voltage for a rated current is determined. The injection voltage is adjusted to the value of the secondary voltage. The exciting current and power are measured. The ratio error or the phase angle are then calculated by using the exciting current and power.

Abstract: A processing unit (300) includes a read-only encryption key (394). Loader code image (250) is loaded into system memory (205) from non-volatile storage (270). Loader code image (250) includes a prefix value (225) and a suffix value (235). The prefix value (225) is combined with the master key (394) from the processing unit (300) to create a random value that is the seed for a hashing algorithm. The hashing algorithm uses the seed value with a signature formed from the blocks of code to form a result. During the hashing algorithm, intermediate key values are generated and stored in a memory area inaccessible by the user. The intermediate key values are used by the loader code after the loader has been authenticated and loaded. The loader combines one or more of the intermediate key values with prefix and suffix values that correspond to other software modules to authenticate the software, using a hashing algorithm, and load the software upon authentication.
