Patent EP-0926576-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HARRELL DOUGLAS G
IPC: B01J12/00
Filed: 1998-12-19
Abstract: A method for controlling a chemical reactor such as a gas-phase reactor using a non-linear
predictive control includes steps for generating a plurality of signals representing a current
state of the chemical reactor and reflecting a respective constituent of reactants in the chemical
reactor, calculating a future state of the chemical reactor responsive to said plurality of signals
and referenced to mass hold-up of the reactants in the chemical reactor, and controlling at least
one parameter related to the chemical reactor so as to control the future state of the chemical
reactor. Spurious control events due to noise in sensor or controller output signals are preferably
minimized by filtering these signals using a N-sign filter subroutine.

Abstract: A glass fiber mat (104) includes glass fibers impregnated with a binder and then
cured. A predetermined pattern of relatively high and low concentrations of binder is
formed throughout the length of the glass fiber mat. The pattern includes at least one
portion (106,108,110) of the mat having a relatively high concentration of binder
adjoining a portion (112,114) of the mat having a relatively low concentration of binder
and is produced either by selectively applying liquid binder to the glass fibers via an
applicator or selectively removing liquid binder from the glass fibers via a vacuum
before curing. The cured mats can be cut along an area of high binder concentration to
produce cut edges which resist breaking and tearing. Shingles formed from such glass
fiber mats have improved tear resistance and pliability.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting the presence
of a ground leakage path (39) in an electric motor
system including an alternating current (ac) electric
motor (40) coupled for receiving electric power from a
switching inverter (27) of the type having, for each
phase of the motor, a pair of serially connected
electronic switching devices connected between
relatively positive and negative direct current (dc)
voltage buses (24,25) with the switching devices being
alternately gated into and out of conduction for
providing switched electric power to the motor. The
inverter includes a current detector (29) for
detecting current in the relatively negative voltage
bus. The method comprises initially applying a gating
pulse each time the motor is energized to the
switching device (34, 36, 38) of each phase connected
to the negative voltage bus and identifying a ground
leakage path when such gating pulse produces current
at the current detector. Preferably, the first gating
pulse is of very short time duration and the process
of applying gating pulses is repeated for each of a
plurality of continuously increasing pulse widths
until a selected maximum width is attained without
generating current. Thereafter, the motor is started
in a conventional manner.

Abstract: A method of designing shielded gradient coil assemblies  (22)  with a flared primary coil
 (60)  for magnetic resonance imaging systems is provided. The method includes
generating a first continuous current distribution for a primary coil  (60)  using an inverse
approach. The first continuous current distribution is confined within predetermined finite
geometric boundaries of a surface defined by three dimensions and generates a magnetic
gradient field across an imaging region  (14).  The magnetic gradient field is constrained
to predetermined values at specified spatial locations within the imaging region  (14) . The
current distribution and magnetic field are converted into a stored energy and magnetic
field domain where a finite element analysis is performed to generate a second continuous
current distribution for a shielding coil  (62).  The second continuous current distribution
is confined within predetermined finite geometric boundaries of a surface surrounding the
primary coil  (60).  The second continuous current distribution generates a magnetic field
which substantially cancels in an area outside a region defined by the shielding coil a
fringe magnetic field generated by the first continuous current density.

Abstract: In an X-ray film image reading apparatus, dark

calculation circuit (10) calculates an average value or
mode value of dark distribution outputs of all or some
pixels of a CCD line sensor or a dark distribution
output of the CCD line sensor subjected to a spatial
low-pass filtering process, and stores it in a dark
distribution memory as correction data. Next, a light
source (1) is turned on, and a subtractor subtracts the
stored correction data from an output of the line
sensor read from an X-ray film (2) while the light source
is turned on.

Abstract: Before charging the chamber, a dedicated air sealing system is connected. This includes a lower outlet (2) for lump solids. It is connected to a leveling opening (3) of the opened oven door (4). Its opening for leveling rod entry (6) has an external connecting section (5) and an internal flap valve (8). The oven is filled with coal from above by a charging car. The valve is opened and the leveling rod (7) is introduced to even-out the upper surface of the coal.  An Independent claim is included for corresponding equipment. Preferred features: During leveling, air blown into the lock, is intended to seal against emissions. In the equipment, a flap valve performs the shut-off duty and there are nozzles for blanketing air preventing emissions. In a more detailed implementation, a fan-driven recirculation system with sheet baffle partition directs the air along the leveling rod, setting up a pressure gradient to block emissions. A lower opening is left at the rear of the partition.

Abstract: In an analogically similar word production
apparatus, based on three inputted unit strings, an analogically

strings, out of the elements of two pseudo-distance matrices,
and more specifically, matrix elements including diagonal
elements are computed by a preprocessing section and then stored
in the pseudo-distance matrix memory. An analogically similar
word production section, based on the three inputted unit
strings, computes a status parameter com by looking up to the
elements of the two pseudo-distance matrices stored in a
pseudo-distance matrix memory, stores the status parameter into
an internal parameter memory, computes minimum paths of pseudo
distances represented by the two pseudo-distance matrices while
updating the status parameter com, produces an analogically
similar word according to the two minimum pseudo-distance paths,
