Title: Aluminothermic reduction of sodium fluotitanate to form sponge titanium
Inventor: CHEN XUEMIN
IPC: C22B34/12
Filed: 2012-10-05
Abstract: Two methods of obtaining sponge titanium from sodium fluotitanate involve reacting a mixture of aluminium and zinc and optionally magnesium with sodium fluotitanate to form sponge titanium and by-products, introducing inert gas after the reaction is completed and removing by-product in a liquid phase and then distilling in a vacuum to remove other by-products. In the first method aluminium and zinc are mixed in a vacuum in a mass ratio between 1:2 and 1:10. NaF and AlF3 are removed and then Zn is removed by distillation. In the second method aluminium, zinc and magnesium are mixed under a vacuum inert gas introduction condition in a mass ratio between 18:108:1 and 1:6:10. NaF, AlF3, MgF2 are removed then and Zn and Mg are removed by distillation. Reaction temperature for the first method is 800 0C and 950 0C for the second method. Distillation temperature for the first method is 1000 0C and 1100 0C for the second method.

Title: Securing data in files uploaded from a system server against copying
Inventor: WORKMAN ANTONY
IPC: G06F21/60
Filed: 2013-11-13
Abstract: Preventing a user from copying and storing files on a third party storage device or a user's personal computer, by for example performing a process of connecting the authorized user to the company's computer storage to access computer files for modification and, if the authorized user attempts to copy the file to the user's computer or a third party storage site, determining whether the file should be copied, because the user is authorized and the file is of a type that can be copied, and does not include restricted data. To determine whether the file should be copied, the system may use inspection modules that inspect the data files to determine whether or not the user has been restricted from copying the data file. This may scan the file for restricted data, and determine whether particular users or groups are authorized to read and copy data such as personal social security numbers, bank account or credit card details, insurance or patient medical health records and test results.

Title: Signal phase delay chain with calibration, bypass and digital comparator circuits.
Inventor: SUBRAMANIAN SIVARAMAKRISHNAN
IPC: G06F1/12
Filed: 2013-11-19
Abstract: Disclosed is a calibratable delay chain with a plurality of delay stages and adjustment circuitry to vary the delay of the stages in response to an input value. The calibration circuitry calibrates a delay of the chain, with calibration control circuitry which supplies the input value to the adjustment circuitry, output selection circuitry to select an output from a predetermined point along the delay chain, and a bypass path for bypassing the delay chain. Digital and analogue comparators compare the output from the delay chain and the output from the bypass path. The calibration control circuitry controls the output selection circuitry to output a signal from one point on the delay chain to the digital comparator and to change the input value to the adjustment circuitry in a first direction at a first rate until a change in an output value of the digital comparator value is detected. The calibration control circuitry responds to the detected change in output value of the digital comparator to control the output selection circuitry to output a signal from a further point on the delay chain to the analogue comparator and to change the input value in a second direction at a second rate starting from a value determined by the input value at which the digital comparators output value changed value, the second rate being slower than the first rate, a change in value output from the analogue comparator indicating an input value that provides a calibrated delay.

Filed: 2014-04-17
Abstract: An object detection system for a non-contact power transfer system for a vehicle 1 on a roadway, wherein a charging volume CV the region in which the magnetic field for wireless power transfer is largely contained is defined. Sensors, to detect foreign objects (FODs, LODs, metallic objects) have a detection volume 10, representing their field of sensing, wherein the at least one of the detectors is arranged such that the detection volume 10 is fully outside the charging volume CV, that is, obstacles are detected outside the charging space, or at the edge of the contactless power transfer region. The sensors may be inductive, and may be on the primary (charging station, power supply or transmitter) side or the secondary or vehicle side (receiver). The sensors may be movable and may be activated before the vehicle is aligned with the power supply. The sensors are thereby able to detect contaminants, metal particles or other foreign objects before they enter the power transfer region, for increased safety.
