Patent SE-307818-B (SE)
Inventor: HEPBURN J
IPC: C11B3/06
Filed: 1965-02-24
Abstract: Free fatty acid in fatty oils (including molten fats) is neutralized with a liquid, oil-immiscible treating agent by a process in which the oil is continuously supplied to form a film on a moving carrier surface, each point on which follows a closed path, and said film is then carried without disruption or substantial movement relative to said surface through a body of the liquid treating agent, and is continuously removed from the surface.  The treated oil after removal from the carrier surface may be fed to a pool of treated oil partly covering the body of treating liquid, the treated oil being continuously removed from pool.  Two types of carrier surface are described, namely a rotating drum and a rotating disc, both of which rotate about horizontal axes and dip into a bath of treating liquid. Unrefined oil is fed to a descending surface of the carrier, in the case of the disc to both side thereof.  Apparatuses embodying both types of carrier surface are described in detail.  The process is particularly suitable for the alkali refining of glyceride oils, the treating agent being aqueous caustic soda, suitable of normality 0.1-0.8 N, which may contain minor amounts of soap or other melting agent, e.g. dodecyl benzene sulphonate, and an electrolyte, e.g. NaCl.  When the unrefined glyceride oil has a high free fatty acid content the moving surface may be made lipophilic, e.g. by treatment with aluminium stearate.  Unrefined oils treated in examples are palm kernel oil, coconut oil, groundnut oil, soya bean oil, rapeseed oil, and cottonseed oil.

Title: Reversing alarm
Inventor: HANSON-ABBOTT CHRISTOPHER
IPC: H04R1/00
Filed: 2000-03-28
Granted: 2000-11-22
Abstract: A reversing alarm for a vehicle emits an audible signal in the form of pulses of broad band sound when the vehicle is put into reverse gear. The broad band sound allows persons in the vicinity to locate the vehicle, as the human brain is able to process broad band sound to pinpoint the location of the sound source in a way which is not possible with single tone sounds. The alarm is implemented via a simple electronic circuit which uses a zener diode as a signal generator 20 to generate the broad band sound.

Title: Home entertainment system
Inventor: APPLEWHITE PAUL
IPC: H04N5/44
Filed: 2001-01-19
Granted: 2003-06-18
Abstract: A home entertainment system has a hub (10) with a plurality of TV tuners (12). Ports (P1 to P16) for consumer devices are provided around the home and in the hub, with a number of the ports allocated a respective TV tuner. Remote control sensors are associated with one of the allocated ports, for providing remote control signals to the port. The hub includes a switching matrix (22), and all ports are connected to the switching matrix which enables different ports to be coupled together and wherein remote control signals provided to a port enable control of the TV tuner allocated to the port. The hub can be provided with the UHF or VHF TV signal, typically over a coaxial cable. All of the TV tuners used by the entertainment system are in the hub, so that the distribution of signals around the system can take place at baseband frequencies. The switching matrix enables consumer devices, such as video recorders or cable or satellite decoders, to be positioned in one location, but enables the signals to be connected to any chosen location in the home. The remote control sensors enable the tuners to be controlled by a remote control, despite their location in the system hub. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A flow control valve comprising an externally stepped outer member (25) having its smaller diameter part externally screw-threaded (27) for engagement with a complementary screw thread (24) in a bore (23) in a body (10) in which the valve is received, in use, to allow axial adjustment therein. The outer member (25) has an interior cavity (30) which is closed at one end by a screw (31), by means of which said axial adjustment can be made, and has an opening at its other end, said cavity also communicating with the bore by way of a further passage (33) at a position adjacent the step in the outer member. The cavity has a portion (32) tapered towards said opening at its end and a valve (26) loosely located within the outer member has a taper complementary to that within the cavity. In one direction of flow through the valve, the separation of the outer and valve member tapers is maximised to allow unrestricted flow, whilst in the other direction of flow such separation is minimised to restrict the flow. The valve has particular application in a door closer, to allow opening of the door substantially without restriction, and substantial restriction during closing. <IMAGE>

Title: Optical receiver
Inventor: CHOWN DAVID PHILIP MARTIN
IPC: H04B10/43
Filed: 1984-09-29
Granted: 1987-11-25
Abstract: 57 In an optical receiver for the reception of a modulated light beam, the beam falls on a PIN diode (D1) connected to the input of an amplifier (-A) which has a feedback resistor (R1) across it. This resistor is shunted by the series combination of a Schottky diode (D2) and of a PIN diode (D3). The former diode ensures that a high magnitude pulse does not leave the receiver undesirably insensitive to a following smaller pulse. The latter diode, due to its low self-capacitance and low leakage, overcomes distortions due to the Schottky diode's higher self-capacitance and leakage. These effects are enhanced by providing. the series-connected diodes with a low value (e.g. 0.2 volts) of reverse bias, due to the different connections of the diodes (D2, D3) and the feedback resistor (R1) to a potential divider (R2, R3) between the amplifier output and a point at a reference potential.
