Title: Grid type electrostatic separator/collector and method of using same
Inventor: DUNN JOHN
IPC: B03C3/09
Filed: 2003-07-29
Abstract: An electrical type grid electrostatic collector/separator removes particles from an air stream. The apparatus includes multiple parallel grids (5-8) that act as the porous material, enclosed in a sealed compartment so that the entrained air flows parallel and between one or more centrally located grids (5-8). A direct current high voltage field (24) is established between the grids (5-8) with the polarities alternating between facing grids (5-8). The system is preferably used for conductive and semi-conductive materials. The charged particles are separated and collected when they are attracted toward the relatively open wire or woven grids (5-8) and pass laterally through and onto the next attracting grid (5-8) until they are out of the air stream and generally fall by gravity to the collection vessel (34).

Abstract: A digital program insertion technique for analog video services. In one aspect, a method and apparatus are provided for message insertion and delivery of video signals. A digital video program signal is received. A digital video message signal is inserted into the digital video program signal in response to an insertion cueing message. The inserting is performed while the digital video program and message signals remain in digital format, thereby forming a combined digital video signal. The combined digital video is then converted to an analog video signal. The analog video signal is distributed to a plurality of viewers using analog distribution equipment. Thus, the invention provides for the continued use of existing legacy equipment that distributes video signals in analog format. The combined digital video signals may also be delivered in digital format using equipment designed for digital video delivery. Accordingly, the present invention provides for use of newer equipment that processes and distributes video signals in digital format while retaining legacy equipment that distributes the video signals in analog format.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif servant à optimiser un système de spectrométrie de masse et de chromatographie liquide pour une élution graduée. On détermine un profil de température selon lequel un gaz est introduit dans une interface d'ionisation sous pression atmosphérique servant à vaporiser une matrice introduite dans l'interface depuis une colonne de chromatographie liquide. On détermine un profil d'écoulement selon lequel le gaz est introduit dans l'interface afin d'empêcher l'entrée de la matrice dans le spectromètre de masse quand cette matrice ne contient aucune substance à analyser dont on souhaite effectuer la détection. La détermination de ces profils de température et d'écoulement est basée sur les caractéristiques de la matrice simultanément à son élution depuis la colonne jusqu'à l'intérieur de l'interface. Un dispositif de régulation de chaleur et un dispositif de régulation d'écoulement peuvent contribuer à mettre en oeuvre les profils respectifs de température et d'écoulement. Ce dispositif de régulation de chaleur et ce dispositif de régulation d'écoulement peuvent être programmés ou contrôlé par logiciel.

Inventor: TONCHEV DAN
IPC: H01B1/22
Filed: 2005-06-09
Abstract: An aqueous printable electrical conductor (APEC) is defined as a dispersion comprising metal powder (with specific surface properties) dispersed into an aqueous acrylic, urethane/acrylic mix, natural polymers vehicle (gelatine, soy protein, casein, starch or similar) or in a film forming reactive fatty acids mixture without a binder resin. The aqueous printable dispersion can be applied to substrates through different printing processes such as flexography, gravure, screen, dry offset or others. The preferred substrates include: (1) coated paper, (2) uncoated paper, and (3) a variety of plastics with treated and untreated surfaces. When printed at a thickness of 1-8µm, curing is not required as the dispersion cures at ambient temperatures. When the dispersion is used for any of the above applications it will provide sufficient electrical conductivity to produce electrical circuits for intelligent and active packaging, sensors, radio frequency identification (RFID) tag antennae, and other electronic applications.
