Title: Row sensing apparatus for a crop harvester
Inventor: WILLIAMS TERRY ARDEN
IPC: A01D45/02
Filed: 1984-09-05
Abstract: A forage harvester (11), pulled via its tongue (16) by a tractor, has dividers (19, 21) between which a crop row (18) is received, and each divider (19, 21) has a row sensing unit (41, 43) bolted to it. The crop row (18) passes between a pair of arms (47, 48) of the unit. An arm (47, 48) is deflected, when the machine is misaligned with the row (18), the arm (47, 48) having an upright pivot shaft (79). The arm (47, 48) carries an actuator plate (95) which closes a switch (145) to trigger a guidance control circuit (45) to steer the harvester by way of a piston and cylinder (33) moving the tongue (16) to return the harvester (11) to alignment with the crop row (18). To enable the harvester (11) to be reversed without the crop row (18) fouling the crop-engaging arms (47, 48) each arm is formed with a trailing portion which curves rearwardly through an angle greater than a right angle toward the divider (19, 21) and then terminates below the divider (19, 21) so that crop can pass smoothly over the arm not only when the harvester is travelling forward, but also when it is reversed.

Title: Multiphase fluid characterization
Inventor: SCOTT BENTLEY N
IPC: G01N9/24
Filed: 2006-07-11
Granted: 2010-02-03
Abstract: Methods for determining and validating a first phase fraction of a gravitationally-separated multiphase fluid by conducting physical and electrical property measurements on samples of the fluid. The water content of crude petroleum oil is determined after the oil and water have begun to separate into phase layers such as occurs during un-agitated holding of the crude petroleum oil. A series of measurements of electrical properties such as permittivity and physical properties such as density is collected. The density minima can be used to generate hindsight determinations of average properties, such as the dry oil phase density, which in turn can be used to increase the accuracy of the water percentage in the oil determined by the permittivity and density methods. Flow weighted averages of water percentages by each method can be used to determine and validate the water content of the crude petroleum oil.

Title: Electronic timepieces
IPC: G04C3/14
Filed: 1978-08-02
Granted: 1982-01-27
Abstract: In an electronic watch a non-operation detecting circuit detects the non-operative condition of the stepping motor of the watch and produces a non-operation signal each time the stepping motor fails to operate in response to the standard pulse which drives the same. A counter counts the number of non-operation signals and stores the count for later use. A rotation detecting circuit detects the resumption of operation of the stepping motor in response to the standard pulse from the non-operative condition and a quick feed control circuit quickly advances the stepping motor in response to an input from the rotation detection circuit by thereafter supplying, instead of the standard pulses, the quick feed pulses to the drive circuit for the motor equal in number to the number of the non-operation signals counted in the counter. In this way the corrected time will be displayed by the watch even after being rendered inoperative as a result of an external condition such as low temperature or a high strength DC magnetic field.

Granted: 1985-04-11
Abstract: Apparatus and a method for removing suspended particles from water in a circular tank having a distribution and flocculation chamber immersed in the tank of water and carried circularly around the tank by a carriage. Flocculating material and inlet water are introduced into the body of water from the moving flocculating chamber at the same rate as clarified water is discharged through a filter substantially covering the bottom of the tank. A majority of particles in the water is collected by flocs in the water and floated to the water surface by air bubble action. The floating sludge is removed by a spiral scoop carried by the carriage. The water is then passed through the bottom filter which removes the remaining flocs completing the clarification of the water for discharge. Apparatus is provided for selectively back washing sections of the filter while the remainder of the filter is in operation.

Title: Electrical power generation
Inventor: BORRILL PHILIP ARTHUR
IPC: F01K23/06
Filed: 1991-03-06
Granted: 1994-11-16
Abstract: A method for combined cycle electrical power generation comprises utilising a coal hydrogenator 2 and a reactor 1 for producing from a methane-rich gas a hot crude hydrogen-containing gas which is fed directly (apart from an optional quenching stage) to the coal hydrogenator. The coal hydrogenator produces gaseous and liquid products which are combusted to drive a gas turbine 5 which drives an electrical generator 6. The hydrogenator also produces char which is combusted in a boiler 10 to form steam to drive a steam turbine 11 which, in turn, drives another electrical generator 12. Such direct use of the hot crude gas avoids having to pre-heat hydrogen-containing feed to the hydrogenator.
