Granted: 2011-06-30
Abstract: An aircraft seat (1) is installed in a cubicle (2) able to provide privacy via a hidden, sliding/pocket door drawn to a seat-side end (3) of a divider (4) between adjacent seats from within a facing panel (5) of the next divider (6) in the line of seats. The divider (4) provides a recessed backing (7) for the seat (1); whilst a return recess (8) provides foot rest space (9) opposite the seat. The dividers are generally S-shaped. The seat (1) may be a double seat, in that it comprises a convertible seat (11) and a fixed seat (12) immediately next to each other. The fixed seat provides an alternative seating position when the convertible seat is in bed configuration and a seat for a friend when the convertible seat is in seat configuration. Not only the convertible seat, but also the fixed seat have seat belts, the latter seat's belts being provided in case of turbulence during use. The convertible seat has a seat squab (14), a backrest (15) and a leg rest (16) both pivotally connected to the seat squab. These are reclinable via a conventional mechanism. For conversion of the seat to a bed a bed portion (31) is withdrawn from a stowed position, which may extend between the cabin deck (32) and a shelf (28) alongside the space (30) between the seat squab (14) and the foot rest (24), and set up over the space (30). When not in use, the bed portion is stowed upright beneath a lid (33) in the shelf, with its lower/outer end located by pins (not shown) in tracks (34). For use, the lid may be opened and the bed portion is then drawn up until the pins reach the top of the tracks (34). It is then swung over the space (30). A leg (35) is then pivoted to the under-side of the bed portion and springs out to a strutted (36) position, in which its distal end engages with a load bearing point (37) provided in the floor of the cubicle for support of the distal end of the bed portion. The proximal end of the bed portion pivots into a position such that it is supported on a panel (38) beneath the shelf. The bed portion has a rigid base (39), which faces the space (30) when stowed and an upholstered top (40). This is level in bed configuration with the foot rest (24).

Title: Aerating wastewater for re-use
Inventor: WEISSMAN JEREMY
IPC: B01F3/04
Filed: 2006-02-22
Granted: 2011-07-28
Abstract: A method and apparatus for aerating a liquid, particularly for aerating water in a wastewater treatment process, by: introducing the liquid into a primary pressurizable aeration tank; pumping liquid from the primary pressurizable aeration tank into a secondary pressurizable aeration chamber via a feed path; aerating the liquid in the secondary pressurizable aeration chamber; and recirculating aerated liquid from the secondary pressurizable aeration chamber back to the primary pressurizable aeration tank via a return path. The return path has a cross-sectional area smaller than that of the feed path through which the liquid is pumped into the secondary pressurizable aeration chamber such as to pressurize the secondary pressurizable aeration chamber to a pressure greater than that in the primary pressurizable aeration tank, and thereby (a) to enhance the aeration of the liquid in the secondary pressurizable aeration chamber, and (b) to supply the energy for recirculating the aerated liquid back to the primary pressurizable aeration tank.

Title: Device and method for monitoring life history and controlling maintenance of industrial batteries
Inventor: JOHN WORTHINGTON
IPC: H02J7/16
Filed: 2006-03-06
Granted: 2011-08-04
Abstract: This invention is a method and device for monitoring and storing data regarding the "life history" of a battery with which it is associated and interpreting the data to create an accurate record of use and abuse patterns. A manufacturer's specified life expectancy, measured in battery cycles, is established for the battery under normal use, and then the actual use of the battery is monitored and stored. Complete cycles, partial cycles, and operation of the battery outside of acceptable specifications are automatically derived into a value in units equivalent to a number of battery cycles, and this derivation is compared with the manufacturers life expectancy, and adjustments to the manufacturers life expectancy are made so that a more accurate and up-to-date estimation of battery life can be evolved over the life of the battery. The monitoring device is mounted on the battery for the lifetime of the battery, with certain information regarding the battery being displayed to all persons having access to the battery. Additional information may be made available to an authorized person or entity. This enables a lessor of the battery, for example, to identify abuse of the battery by a lessee and adjust fees, lease terms, etc. accordingly.

Title: Method and apparatus for lead smelting
Inventor: SCOTT PHILIP ARTHUR
IPC: C22B13/00
Filed: 2006-10-05
Granted: 2012-04-12
Abstract: A method for producing lead involves feeding lead concentrate, flux and solid fuel passing to a feed preparation unit (10). The prepared, mixed feed is then passed to a lead smelting furnace (14), such as an ISASMELT furnace or other top entry, submerged lance furnace. Air or oxygen (16), is injected into the molten charge in the ISASMELT furnace (14) via the submerged lance. In furnace (14), the feed mixture is converted into lead bullion and a lead-containing slag. The lead bullion is removed via a taphole or weir (18). The slag is removed via a taphole or weir (20). The slag (20) removed from the furnace (14) is formed into lumps having a desirable size range. The slag lumps (20), together with coke and flux (26) are fed into a blast furnace (28). In the blast furnace (28), the slag is converted into lead bullion that is removed via a taphole or weir (30) and discard slag that is removed via a taphole (32). The lead bullion removed at (18 and 30) may be subsequently fed to a lead refinery (34) for further treatment.

Title: Vaporizer and methods relating to same
Inventor: BLOOMFIELD DAVID P
IPC: F28D15/04
Filed: 2006-02-22
Granted: 2012-02-16
Abstract: An apparatus for vaporizing a liquid and heating the vaporized liquid to an elevated temperature. The apparatus has a heat transfer wall having an outer surface for receiving heat and transferring the heat to an inner surface. A wick material is disposed so that a portion of the wick material is in contact with the inner surface and another portion is remote from the heat transfer wall. A wick support in contact with the wick material opposite the inner surface of the heat transfer wall provides structural support to the wick material and further provides a path for vaporized liquid to flow from the wick material. Vaporizable liquid is delivered to the portion of the wick material that is remote from the heat transfer wall and is allowed to migrate to the portion that is in contact with the inner surface. Heat from the inner surface converts the liquid to a vaporized liquid. Optionally, a gaseous fuel may be introduced into the wick support for pre-heating and mixing with the vaporized liquid. Vaporized liquid flows out of the wick material through the wick support and into a downstream superheater that preferably houses a heat exchange device. The heat exchange device is in thermal communication with the inner surface of the heat transfer wall for receiving and transferring heat to the vaporized liquid. The apparatus can include multiple vaporization units connected to common and/or different heat sources. Methods for making an apparatus for vaporizing a liquid and methods for vaporizing a liquid are also disclosed.

Filed: 2008-09-08
Granted: 2011-07-07
Abstract: A system and method for processing calls in a communication system (100) utilizing distributed signaling. When a call signal having distributed identification data is received on a communication channel, the call information (such a voice, data, video, etc.) is initially passed through the system without verification until sufficient identification data (such as the color code) (332) has been obtained to determine whether the source of the call is valid. Once sufficient identification data has been obtained, the source is verified. If the source is valid, the call information continues to be passed through the system (100). However, if source is invalid, the call information is blocked for the present call as well as for subsequent calls on the same communication channel, and passing of the call information through the system (100) does not resume until a received call is subsequently assessed to be valid.
