Title: Apparatus and method for producing ash
Inventor: DODSON CHRISTOPHER EDWARD
IPC: F23G5/32
Filed: 2001-12-24
Abstract: The invention provides apparatus and a method for exothermic treatment of feed material to provide an ash. The apparatus includes a housing extending about a central axis and having first and second ends, and a central mixing zone adjacent the first end. A material intake carries the feed material into the housing and gas enters through a first gas inlet at the first end through guides to create an inner vortex extending axially about said axis and the gas then follows an outer vortex which also extends axially but in the opposite direction from that of the inner vortex. However the inner and outer vortices rotate in the same direction. A gas outlet is positioned to receive spent gas from the housing and an ash outlet is positioned remotely from the mixing zone to receive the ash. If preferred, the position of the ash outlet may be incorporated into the gas outlet. A control system is provided to limit the temperature in the feed material in the housing. As a result, in operation, gases can be fed into the first and second gas inlets carrying sufficient oxygen for exothermic combustion of the feed material and having a flow rate to create said inner and outer vortices. The outer vortex meets the inner vortex in the mixing zone to mix both with the inner vortex and with the feed material which will be subjected to exothermic combustion as the feed material is entrained in the inner and outer vortices. The material will pass through the mixing zone repeatedly until the feed material is converted to the desired ash having escape criteria needed to reach and exit through the ash outlet.

Title: Protection for computers against malicious programs using a security system which performs automatic segregation of programs
Inventor: MAYER YARON
IPC: G06F9/455
Filed: 2004-06-21
Abstract: Automatic segregation of programs on a computer system wherein each program by default is only allowed to access/read/write/execute/create/delete files in its own natural environment (mainly the directory in which it is installed and its sub-directories) and access necessary system areas/files based on virtual sharing. This is preferably done by automatically creating an unlimited number of Virtual Environments (VEs) with virtual sharing of resources so that programs in each VE think that they are alone on the computer and (unless explicitly allowed by the user) any changes that they think they made to the in virtually shared resources are in reality only made in their own VE while the user preferably has an integrated view of the computer with all of the programs installed on it. There are also many other dependent features and independent claims relating to features for protection of computers against malicious activity the concepts of the other independent claims are summarized as: <SL> <LI>(i) reporting to a central authority a discrepancy of amount of communication reported by the security system with that recorded by a communication device of the protected computer. <LI>(ii) automatically blocking, or asking the user for explicit authorisation, for potentially dangerous activities. <LI>(iii) a computer system having a more privileged area within or below ring 0 (in which the operating system and physical device drivers reside) which can catch exceptions caused by one of the device drivers or the operating system itself. <LI>(iv) replacing at least some of the OS functions that deal with the OS message system and attaching to each message an identification of the source of the message and wherein the security system only allows certain messages to be initiated by the operating system. <LI>(v) asking the user for confirmation when multiple e-mails are being sent consecutively or when e-mails include attachments and preferably only when the attachments are executable files. <LI>(vi) preventing applications and/or drivers from accessing the hardware ports of, or the actual device drivers that physically access at least one of the communication channels and the storage devices. <LI>(vii) a central security system which automatically checks whether other security systems in an organisation are functioning properly. <LI>(viii) at least one general trusted area and at least one non-trusted area being enforced by creating at least two virtual environments (VEs) and enforcing the virtual sharing of resources between them so that each VE only sees itself and the operating system. </SL>

Title: Method and device for designing digital filter,program for designing digital filter,digital filter,method and device for generating numerical sequence of des
Inventor: KOYANAGI YUKIO
IPC: H03H17/06
Filed: 2004-11-22
Abstract: A standard function is inputted and an interpolation function of finite length is calculated therefrom. Then, the frequency characteristics of the interpolation function is shifted by a desired amount in the frequency axial direction, thereby determining input frequency characteristics based on specification. Filter coefficients are determined by performing inverse FFT of a numerical sequence representative of the input frequency characteristics and rounding is performed according to the coefficient values in order to obtain a smaller number of filter coefficients. Thus, it is possible to eliminate the need for windowing as an operation for decreasing the number of filter coefficients and easily design an FIR filter having desired frequency characteristics.

Title: Direction adjustment tool for downhole drilling apparatus
Inventor: TULLOCH RORY MCCRAE
IPC: E21B7/08
Filed: 2007-08-30
Abstract: A direction drilling adjusting tool (102), such as a bent sub, comprises a first housing part (116), and a second housing part (118) which selectively pivots relative to the first housing part. A first actuator (162) moves relative to the first housing part between a first position and a second position to cause pivoting of the second housing part. A second actuator (146) additionally moves relative to the first housing part in response to a pressure differential between drilling fluid inside and outside of the housing between at a first position and a second position allowing the first actuator to move to the second position. The tool is therefore controlled more easily and reliably than by means of pressure drop generated within the tool housing.
