Title: Needling apparatus with two eccentric drives
Inventor: FEHRER MONIKA
IPC: D04H18/02
Filed: 2000-10-24
Granted: 2003-08-06
Abstract: The description relates to a facility for needling of fleece with at least one needle board (2) that can be driven to and fro in stitching direction (4) by means of pushing rods (3) borne displaceable in one guide sleeve (10) each, and with an additional drive (11) reciprocating in fleece feed direction (9) and effective on the movably borne guide sleeves (10), which is equipped with two parallel eccentric shafts (12, 13). To achieve simple constructional features it is suggested to bear the guide sleeves (10) via two brackets (16, 17) on the eccentrics (18) of the two equidirectionally driven eccentric shafts (12, 13), and to connect them non-rotatable with at least one of these brackets (16, 17).

Title: Pigment
Inventor: BUTTLE LOUISE GEORGINA
IPC: A23K1/18
Filed: 2000-05-08
Granted: 2003-01-15
Abstract: The present invention provides a method of improving the pigmentation of fish flesh. Specifically, this is brought about through feeding the fish with both pigment and cholesterol, which are generally combined into a foodstuff. This addition of the pigments in the diet which results in a change in flesh colour, blood pigment levels and flesh pigment levels of the fish. Further, the uptake of pigment into the plasma and flesh is shown to be optimal when the feed contains a cholesterol level of between 1 and 3 percent. Such a method of enhancing the uptake of pigment by fish can be used on Atlantic salmon, rainbow trout, other salmonids, tropical fish and any other fish species where the pigment colour of either the flesh or skin is important.

Title: Database management system
Inventor: DUNN STEPHEN
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1995-01-23
Granted: 1998-03-11
Abstract: A database system is described in which changes to a database file are recorded in a journal file. The journal file comprises a sequence of after-image records each having a database identifier indicating which database record it relates. Periodically, a dump is taken of the database. At regular intervals, between dumps the journal file is merged with any previously archived journal file to form a merged file, the records are sorted into order of their database identifiers and the merged file is filtered to remove all but the latest after-image record relating to each particular database record. The filtered journal file is archived. If the database file is corrupted, it can be recovered by applying the filtered journal file to a dump file. Because the journal file has been filtered, recovery is faster. The filtered journal can also be used for performing an off-line integrity check on the reconstructed database file.

Granted: 2000-08-09
Abstract: A stopper structure for a switch, such as a power window switch that automatically opens and closes the window of an automobile. The stopper structure has a stopper part 2h on the back of a knob 2. When the knob 2 is pressed against the resistance of a spring 8, which is located between a spring guide 2b of the knob 2 and a first projection 1k inside a cylinder 1a of an upper case 1, the stopper part 2h is pressed to the head portion 2f of a leaf spring 2d that biases a lock pin 2c into a locking position for locking the switch assembly together. The assembled leaf spring 2d is then set to the designated position of a second projection 1l inside a cylinder 1a of the upper case 1. The stopper structure provides an assembly wherein the leaf spring 2d, which biases the lock pin 2c into a locking position for locking the switch assembly together, is set in the designated position with assurance using a simple structure.

Title: Air environment control systems
Inventor: BENNETT EDWARD J
IPC: F24F5/00
Filed: 1998-02-05
Granted: 2002-08-14
Abstract: A method and apparatus are described for providing clean air at a desired temperature to an environment. Incoming air possibly contaminated with nuclear, biological and chemical contaminants is compressed. The compressed air is cooled in a first heat exchanger. Cooled air from the first heat exchanger is compressed in a secondary compressor. Compressed air from the secondary compressor is cooled in a secondary heat exchanger. Cooled air from the secondary heat exchanger is directed through a regenerative pressure swing adsorbtion system for providing clean output air with the contaminants removed therefrom. The cleaned air is expanded in a turbine coupled to the secondary compressor, whereby to recover energy from the cleaned air to drive the secondary compressor. Expanded cleaned air from the turbine is used to condition air in the environment. The regenerative pressure swing adsorbtion system is purged with air derived from the expanded clean air, the purging air being warmed before being passed to the regenerative pressure swing adsorbtion system by heat derived from the step of compressing incoming air. The applicants also explain how, in general, waste heat may be used in a combined pressure swing adsorbtion and air cycle system adapted to provide clean air at a desired temperature to an environment essentially free of nuclear, biological and chemical contaminants to heat air for purging of apparatus used in this system for pressure swing adsorbtion, this waste heat being derived from a step of primary compression of incoming air. <IMAGE>

Title: Current supply for aluminium reduction cells
Inventor: SOLINAS GIANCARLO
Filed: 1982-01-18
Granted: 1989-01-27
Abstract: Current supply conductors between electrolytic cells for the prodn. of aluminium are arranged to minimise unwanted magnetic effects. The cells, connected in series, may be side by side or end to end. Conductors of the same cross-section are combined in couples of equal length. All couples are symmetrically positioned with respect to the median vertical longitudinal and/or transverse plane of the individual cells. Vertical conductors join anodes and cathode to a lower plane, below the cells, in which connections are made. Pairs of reverse conductors to the rectifier section lie parallel to the pairs of connections. The layout is effective in reducing magnetic effects, which are serious on modern high current (150-200KA) cells. The symmetry of the arrangement, with conductors of the same cross-section, makes for simple installation, and the lower plane connections keeps the working floor clear, and facilitates cutting out an individual cell for maintenance.

Title: Drying control system for e.g. grain storage - prevents over-drying and rewetting by considering drying effect of ambient air blown through grain (BR 13.10.81)
Inventor: BOWREY RONALD GRAHAM
IPC: F26B21/00
Filed: 1981-04-08
Granted: 1989-09-29
Abstract: The method for controlling the drying or aeration of a stored product comprises determining the moisture content and temperature of the stored product at various locations, and determining the temperature and relative humidity of the air in the region near the positions where the air enters and leaves the stored product. The temperature and relative humidity of the ambient air external to the storage of the stored product are also determined. The effect that feeding the air through the stored product would have on the temperature and moisture content of the product at various positions and on the amount of moisture removed from the total store is calculated. Ambient air is then force fed to effect changes in the condition of the stored product if these changes are required.
