Title: Method and apparatus for muting a sounder device
Inventor: LI ZHONGQING
IPC: H04M1/72454
Filed: 2008-09-25
Abstract: The method comprises steps of connecting a communication terminal with the sounder device via a network, detecting a muting requirement, and sending a muting signal to the sounder device via the network, whereupon the sounder device is configured to perform a muting process upon the sounder. The method further comprises a step of sending a recovery signal to the sounder device via the network if the muting requirement becomes invalid. When it is necessary to mute a mobile phone on some occasions, such as at a meeting, the invention removes the need to mute sounders on multiple handsets one by one.

Title: Using ion current for in-cylinder NOx detection in diesel engines
Inventor: HENEIN NAEIM A
IPC: F02D35/02
Filed: 2007-08-14
Abstract: Presented is a technique that utilizes ion current to determine the concentration of nitrogen oxides (NOx) produced in the combustion chamber(s) of diesel engines, on a cycle by cycle basis during the combustion of conventional petroleum-based fuels, other alternate fuels, and renewable fuels. The technique uses an ion current measuring means, a calibration means and a signal processing means connected to the engine control unit (ECU). The ion current sensing means is positioned in the chamber(s) of the engine, to measure the ion current produced during the combustion process. The calibration means utilizes NOx values measured in the exhaust port or manifold of the engine to calibrate the ion current signal. The calibrated ion current signal is fed into a processor that is connected to the ECU to adjust various operating parameters to improve the trade-off between NOx and other emissions, fuel economy, and power output.

Title: Evaluation and correction of frequency mass spectra
Inventor: KOESTER CLAUS
IPC: H01J49/00
Filed: 2009-05-29
Abstract: The invention relates to the evaluation of mass spectra from mass spectrometers in which ions are excited to mass-specific oscillating or orbiting motions, and the ion motion is recorded as a time signal. The invention provides methods to detect any parameter drift that occurs during the recording of a signal in the time domain in such "frequency mass spectrometers" by analyzing the instantaneous frequency or the phase spectrum of a frequency component, and provides a method to correct any influence of the frequency drift on the mass spectrum correspondingly. Such frequency mass spectrometers include Fourier Transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometers, electrostatic ion traps such as the Orbitrap (RTM), and two- or three-dimensional RF quadrupole ion traps with detection electrodes for detecting image currents.

Title: A porous, sintered capacitor anode formed from a powder comprising coarse and fine agglomerates
Inventor: PINWILL IAN
IPC: B22F3/10
Filed: 2009-09-10
Abstract: A pressed capacitor anode is formed into a sintered pellet from an electrically conductive powder 20 for example, sodium reduced tantalum, which contains a plurality of coarse agglomerates 22 and fine agglomerates 26. The ratio of the average size of the coarse agglomerates to the fine agglomerates is from about 10 - 150. The resulting powder has a "bimodal" distribution. A portion of the fine agglomerates 26 occupy the pores defined between adjacent coarse agglomerates. The fine agglomerates may increase the apparent density of the resulting powder by occupying the pores, which may improve volumetric efficiency. The sintering may occur in the temperature range from about 1200 to 2000 °C. The weight fraction of the coarse agglomerates may range from 50-90 wt% and, the weight fraction for the fine agglomerates may range from 10-50wt %. The capacitor may include a conductive polymer and a case that leaves at least a portion of an anode termination and a cathode termination exposed.

Abstract: 107,829. Embrey, L. July 22, 1916. Endless - chain conveyers with linked carriers; carriers, attaching to chains; discharging- devices; guiding endless chains and carriers.-The carriers of a conveyer, particularly adapted for use in dough-proving apparatus, are attached to the driving-chain by swivel pins perpendicular to the chain. The carriers traverse a zigzag or spiral course within a sectional casing, and are discharged at an elevated looped portion of the track. They are formed of pegs inserted In base-plates, and may have a fabric lining. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the apparatus, Fig. 5 a plan with the upper structure removed, and Fig. 8 a detail. The conveyer is partially enclosed in a casing 1 which is preferably formed in two separable portions 2, 3 to facilitate erection. The conveyer chain 14 is guided in a spiral path around superposed chain whetels 15, the chain passing in one direction along a groove between flat guide-rails 4 and in the other direction along inclined guide-rails 5. The chain enters through the top of the front casing 2, and after passing in a spiral path to the bottom of this casing is led to the rear casing 3 through which it rises in a spiral path, emerging through the cover. Thence it rises on an incline; is led along a horizontal guide 23 to the front of the apparatus, and along a concave guide 26 in a vertical plane, back into the casing. The bottom plate 7, Fig. 8, of the containers slides on the rails 4, 5 and has a depending pin, screw, &c., forming a swivel connexion to the chain 14. The sides of the container may be formed of pegs 8 with or without a fabric lining. One or more of the sprocket-wheel shafts, for example, the shaft 28, Fig. 3, may be driven. The containers are discharged by inversion as they pass round the shaft 28, and the fall of the material is controlled by a flexible band 30 which may be free or driven, and may have the lower roller 33 arranged as shown, or supported in a frame swinging freely about the axis of the upper roller 32. A dough-moulder, such as described in Specification 11724/14, may be arranged to feed the dough through an opening in the top of the casing 1, as described in Specification 108,034.
