Patent EP-0880993-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BAKKER ANDRIES
IPC: B01F15/00
Filed: 1998-04-20
Abstract: An impeller assembly (10) for agitating a fluid (31) contained in a vessel (30) and
dispersing a gas introduced therein. The impeller assembly (10) includes an impeller having
a plurality of generally radially extending blades (16). Each of the blades (16) includes diverging
upper and lower sheet-like portions having generally radially extending leading edges.
The upper and lower portions are joined to form a generally V-shaped cross-section
with a trailing vertex. The width of the upper portion of each blade (16) is greater than the
width of the lower portion of the blade such that the upper portion leading edge extends
forwardly of the lower portion leading edge, thus producing an upper portion overhang
to capture and disperse rising gas bubbles (34). The impeller assembly (10) further comprises a
drive assembly (17) for rotating the impeller assembly (10).

use, including a cistern body or tank (2) for containing
the water, a support frame (5) mounted in the upper part
of the tank (2) and which supports a control device (1)
for opening the water outlet valve; the control device
(1) is, in turn, manually operated by an external

apertures, as the angle lever (2) includes two pairs
(10) and (11) of substantially perpendicular arms in
which the arms of each pair have hinge seats (24, 25) in
which the rod (22) can be selectively engaged, depending
on the type of operation of the cistern.

Abstract: The invention provides a possibility for maintaining unchanged directory numbers
(DN) for telecommunication system service subscribers moving to new locations or
new service providers. The numbers dialled (DN) to reach the intended subscribers
are correlated with numbers (RN) recognized as the new service termination
locations for the subscribers and the dialled numbers (DN) are translated to the
recognized numbers (RN) in the telecommunication systems in order to setup the
call connections across the telecommunications network. The recognized numbers
(RN) are stored at the original termination locations for the subscribers and
returned in the release message or ISUP-message when accessing the original
termination locations and used for re-routing the call. Preferably, local data bases
are provided in order to store correlations between originally dialled numbers (DN)
and the recognized numbers (RN) returned in the release messages, said local
data bases serving originating subscribers without the need to set up the
connection to the original termination locations. Said local data bases are queried
for a correlation when setting up a call connection and possible correlations are
used to set up the calls. Call connection information is automatically distributed and
updated throughout the telephone network without the use of a centralized data
base for storing the information.

Abstract: A current control for an inductive load (10) includes a switch device (11)
and a sensor (12) in series with the load. A voltage comparator (15) is
connected to operate when the current in the load reaches a desired
average value. A digital control (18) measures the time taken for the
current to reach this value and maintains the switch device conductive for
a further period based on this measured time. Accurate average current
control is obtained even if it is not possible to measure the load current
when the switch device is non-conductive.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to the field of optical transmission and
particularly to a method and an apparatus for controlling the optical power of an
optical transmission signal in wavelength division multiplex optical transmission
system (WDM system). 
     It is known to add one additional channel to the optical transmission signal of WDM
systems, for controlling the power of the optical transmission signal. The optical
power of the control channel is controlled to keep the total optical power of the
optical transmission signal constant, e. g., if a channel of the optical transmission
signal fails, the optical power of the control channel is increased. After surpassing a
certain power level the optical signal of the control channel is reflected form the
optical fibre because of a non linear effect known as Stimulated Brillouin Scattering
(BSS). 
     The present invention avoids this disadvantage by spreading the power density
spectrum of the optical control signal.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for actively compensating magnetic and/or electromagnetic disturbance fields in a predetermined volume range, using at least one Helmholtz coil, said coil essentially covering this volume range, and a device for directing the Helmholtz coil depending on sensor signals. At least one first sensor (1) of said device is provided beyond the predetermined volume range for producing a signal (1a) which is also determined by the magnetic and/or electromagnetic field at the location of the sensor (1), and at least one second sensor (2) is provided within the predetermined volume range for producing a signal (2a) which is determined by the magnetic and/or electromagnetic field at the location of the sensor (2). The signals from the first and second sensors (1a, 2a) are used as an input signal (3a, 3b) for directing a regulator amplifier (3) belonging to the Helmholtz coil. After an empirically determined transmission function has been executed, the signal from the second sensor (2a) is applied to the regulator input (3b) of the digital regulator amplifier (3) and the output signal (3c) of the digital regulator amplifier (3) controls the current through the Helmholtz coil (4) in such a way that the magnetic and/or electromagnetic field in the predetermined volume range is at least partially compensated.
