Patent EP-0467505-A3 (EP)
Title: Method and apparatus for treating fluid
IPC: C02F1/469
Filed: 1991-04-29
Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for treating electrically conductive fluid. Positive and negative electrodes (1,2) of electrically conductive materials having different electrochemical potentials are spaced apart and electrically isolated from one another so that the only electroconductive connection that develops an electrochemical potential between the electrodes (1,2) is established by fluid to be treated extending between the electrodes. Fluid passing between the electrodes is therefore ionized. Because it has been found that superior effects can be achieved when the fluid is ionized under a voltage only condition, in which there is relatively little current flow through the fluid, an electrical insulator (3) is disposed between the positive and negative electrodes, extending across any shortest direct path therebetween. Thus, the electroconductive connection between the electrodes (1,2), that is established only by the body of fluid to be treated in the apparatus, is established through the fluid along a path that extends around the electrical insulator (3). Such a path, which is longer than any shortest direct path between the electrodes (1,2), defines a relatively long resistive path through the fluid between the electrodes. Accordingly, current flow is inhibited. <IMAGE>

Title: Resistor network including telephone circuits.
Inventor: CADDOCK RICHARD E JR
IPC: H01C13/02
Filed: 1994-01-14
Abstract: A balancing resistor and thermistor network for telephone circuits, for use in combination with an external relay (12), which reliably handles three levels of adverse conditions, automatically re-sets under certain conditions, is physically small in size, and is strong. It comprises a flat ceramic substrate (25) on both surfaces of which are screen printed thick film balancing resistor films (44). Also screen printed on both surfaces are termination traces (31, 32, 33, 34) having portions (32) so located that when the substrate substantially instantaneously fractures it reliably and substantially instantaneously breaks the circuits through the resistive films (44), the fracture occurring in response to a sudden high voltage overload. Accordingly, there is no damage to, or melting or burning of, small wires in the telephone circuits at points near to or remote from the balancing resistor network. A thermistor film (45) is screen printed directly onto the substrate (25) at a central region (G) where there is no resistive film (44). The thermistor (45) is connected to the relay (12) and its associated circuitry on the telephone line card (circuit board) (11), acting as a sensor to control the relay (12) so that the latter resettably interrupts current flow through the entire circuit board (11) and thus through the balancing resistor network. <IMAGE>

IPC: G06F21/14
Filed: 1995-05-01
Abstract: The game programming system uses rewritable cartridges that are
compatible with commercially available game systems to produce game
cartridges at a rental outlet. It provides just-in-time delivery of the
desired game. The manufacturing system comprises a programming device
for loading digital content from computer storage to program a rewritable
game cartridge. The game cartridge incorporates reprogrammable flash
memory. The flash rewritable cartridge manufacturing system honors only
cartridges containing identification hardware that provide verification
of it as proprietary to a particular manufacturer or authorized dealer.
The system provides for the game content to be erased from the cartridge
when it is returned to the dealer and new game content can be programmed
and the cartridge can be reused. The game manufacturing process includes
the steps of a customer's game selection being used to initiate the
manufacturing process by scanning a bar code from an empty box or
selection slip. An appropriate cartridge is identified and erased. The
manufacturing system then writes the game cartridge from content data in
a games storage computer and sends information to a printer for producing
identification and instructional inserts for the game. The game computer
has stored therein the game content for all of the games. After the
game-to-be-"burned" indicia is provided to the game storage computer, and
a cartridge is installed, the sequence of loading the game and additional
identifying information into the flash memory is commenced. The
manufacturing system functions so that if timely connections are not made
between the game storage computer and a host computer, the game burner
application time counter will not be reset by regularly transmitted and
expected transactional data, and the system will only operate for a
limited period of time and will then cease to function.

Abstract: Sample analysis in a portable analytical instrument (100), preferably in the form of a gas chromatograph, benefits from temperature control of one or more thermal zones (108) in the instrument by way of a thermal isolation system (104) that includes a novel pumping assembly (124) to effect a selective amount of thermal isolation of the thermal zone. The pumping assembly includes a pumping element (210) in the form of a tubular or planar palladium structure (502). The pumping assembly (124) makes use of the unique properties of palladium to allow selective control of a nominal gas pressure within a vacuum cavity. A component system (106), which may include a separation column (318) and a thermal device (118) for heating and/or cooling the component system, may be provided within the vacuum cavity. The thermal device (118) and the pumping assembly are individually controlled by a control system (102). The pumping assembly (124) may be operated to allow selective control of the thermal isolation of the thermal zone; alternatively, the component system (106) may be subject to a controlled temperature by operating the thermal device. A sample mixture passing through the separation column (318) may thereby be exposed to a desired temperature profile according to a selected program so that the sample will separate into its components for subsequent detection by a detector (321). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A satellite-based cellular telecommunications
system employing a constellation of telecommunications
satellites in medium earth orbit to provide multibeam
radio frequency (rf) communications links for worldwide
cellular telephone service with a minimum number
of satellites. The telecommunications satellites are
placed in a plurality of inclined orbits about the
earth at an altitude of between approximately 5600 and
10,000 nautical miles. The characteristics of the
orbits, such as the number of orbits, the inclination
of each orbit, the number of satellites in each orbit
and the altitude of the satellites, are tailored to
maximize the coverage area of the satellites and their
related line-of-sight elevation angles, while minimizing
propagation time delays, the number of beam-to-beam
and satellite-to-satellite handovers, and the total
number of satellites. The present invention also includes
several additional features which essentially
eliminate beam-to-beam and satellite-to-satellite handovers,
thus dramatically reducing the likelihood of
dropouts.

Abstract: A data processing apparatus functions as a timer or counter by
counting clock pulses of a system clock signal to generate a timing signal.
The system clock signal is generated as one of either a first or a second basic
clock signal generated by two respective oscillators. Even if the second
basic clock signal which has a lower frequency fluctuates, the data
processing apparatus can accurately generate a pulse signal having a
desired period. When the first basic clock signal is selected as the system
clock signal, the second basic clock signal is measured with the system clock
signal. When the second basic clock signal is selected as the system clock
signal, a numerical value up to which the clock pulses of the system clock
signal are counted is corrected on the basis of the measured second basic
clock signal.
