Title: Method of preparing zinc alloy foil
Inventor: BATEY ROBERT
IPC: C22C18/04
Filed: 2000-06-09
Granted: 2003-09-10
Abstract: A method of preparing a foil of an alloy of zinc with at least one additive metal that causes brittleness in zinc is provided, which comprises providing the alloy with a fine, equiaxed, noncolumnar grain microstructure in which secondary phases comprising the additive metal are isotropically distributed, and rolling the alloy to a foil. The additive is preferably selected from bismuth, indium and calcium, optionally together with aluminium. Also provided is foil of the zinc alloy having the specified microstructure, and electrochemical cells comprising an electrode formed of the foil. The method allows foil of the zinc alloy to be produced that can be bent through small bend radii without cracking, the foil therefore being useful as electrode material for batteries, in particular spiral-wound electrodes for jelly roll batteries.

Abstract: A hydrometallurgical process is provided for producing pigment grade TiO2 from titanium containing solutions. Generally, the solution is an aqueous solution. The process includes hydrolyzing the solution via complete evaporation in well-controlled conditions of temperature to form titanium oxide of well-defined characteristics. The hydrolyzing can be achieved by spray hydrolysis in a spray dryer. After hydrolyzing, the titanium oxide is calcined to transform the titanium oxide to the desired form of titanium dioxide. The titanium dioxide can be either anatase or rutile. Following calcination, the titanium dioxide is milled to provide the desired particle size distribution and then finished.

Abstract: A telephone terminal apparatus is operated to exchange forward and backward voice signals between a pair of parties for conversation. In the telephone terminal apparatus, a voice processing block has a coder that codes a forward voice signal, and a decoder that decodes a backward voice signal. A communication block transmits the forward voice signal, which is outputted from the coder in a coded form, to the other party, and receives the backward voice signal from the other party in coded form which is inputted to the decoder. A tone generating block processes music data to generate a music tone signal. A controlling block operates when the music tone signal is set to sound a background music over the conversation for mixing the music tone signal generated by the tone generating block with the backward voice signal, which is outputted from the decoder, and for mixing the music tone signal generated by the tone generating block with the forward voice signal, which is inputted to the coder.

Process air (1, 3) is fed into the high pressure column, an oxygen-containing liquid fraction (8, 10) is removed from the high pressure column and injected into the low pressure column, and gaseous nitrogen (17) from the low pressure column is partially condensed by indirect heat exchange with a vaporizing coolant. A nitrogen product stream (19) is removed from the high pressure column and the low pressure column and an oxygen product stream (61, 62, 63) is removed as liquid and gas from the low pressure column. The coolant for the head condenser (7) of the low pressure column is formed by an intermediate liquid (15) removed from an intermediate site of the low pressure column. An Independent claim is also included for a device for the low temperature air decomposition. Preferred Features: The intermediate liquid is removed from an intermediate site which lies above the site at which the oxygen-containing liquid fraction from the high pressure column is injected into the low pressure column. Liquid nitrogen is removed from the low pressure column or its head condenser as a liquid nitrogen product.

Abstract: Symmetrical cross coupled PLL circuits provide pseudo-synchronization between two independent clock signals, especially for use in fault tolerant applications. Independent oscillators provide input signals to each of the PLL circuits. The PLL circuits include divide circuitry that provide output signals at some sub multiple of the input clock signals. The phase relationship between the output clock signals from the cross coupled PLL circuits is monitored by phase detector circuits. If the phase of one output clock signal is determined to be advanced relative to the other output clock signal, the phase of that output clock signal is retarded by temporarily increasing the divide ratio of the PLL circuit producing the phase advanced signal.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un procédé pour la resynchronisation de flux multimédia. Un serveur de flux multimédia reçoit des éléments multimédia en direct ou préenregistrés pour l'établissement de flux destinés aux clients. Lorsque ces éléments ne sont pas reçus ou disponibles pour l'établissement de flux à l'indice temporel multimédia approprié, le flux multimédia est considéré comme étant hors synchronisation. Le serveur sélectionne un indice temporel ultérieur sur lequel il est possible de resynchroniser le flux et peut éventuellement rejeter le multimédia intermédiaire. Le multimédia correspondant au nouvel indice temporel est recherché et récupéré, et s'il est disponible au nouvel indice temporel en question, le flux multimédia repart en synchronisation. Si le multimédia correspondant à ce nouvel indice n'est pas disponible, le serveur peut sélectionner un autre indice temporel ultérieur et retenter la synchronisation. Il est possible de tenter la resynchronisation un certain nombre de fois (nombre pouvant être configuré), et en cas d'échec le serveur peut éventuellement interrompre au flux.

Abstract: Methods and devices for preventing a change in the core body temperature of a mammal under cold conditions are provided. In the subject methods, a requirement for thermal energy input in said mammal is first detected. In response to the detection of this requirement for thermal energy input, a surface of a portion of the mammal is contacted with a warm temperature medium under negative pressure conditions for a period of time sufficient to introduce thermal energy into the core body of the mammal. The subject devices include at least a means for detecting a requirement for thermal energy input and a means for contacting a surface of a mammal with a warm temperature medium under negative pressure conditions (104). The subject methods and devices find use in a variety of applications, and are particularly suited for use in maintaining the core body temperature of a mammal substantially under cold conditions for an extended period of time.

Abstract: A configurable baffle to configure fluid flow through a nozzle. To improve the quality and accuracy of processing apparatus used in the cutting, welding, and heat treating of materials, a self-aligning nozzle includes a configurable baffle. This configurable baffle can be a metallic grid (e.g., a screen) or other type of membrane (e.g., porous, permeable, etc.). During its initial use in the processing apparatus, this configurable baffle is tailored with an energy beam, such as a laser beam or plasma jet, to create an optimal fluid flow velocity profile. When the configurable baffle deteriorates from use, it is easily replaced by another baffle or by using an in situ replacement mechanism. To ensure proper alignment between the nozzle and the energy beam, mating contoured surfaces are used among adjacent components. Threaded surfaces can also be employed to assist in achieving the proper coaxial alignment.
