Patent BR-9911050-A (BR)
Inventor: OUGHTON GEORGE W
IPC: H02J9/06
Filed: 1999-03-16
Abstract: Systems and methods for producing standby uninterruptible power for an AC load rectify an AC utility input voltage to produce a rectified voltage and activate a DC battery voltage in response to a change in the AC utility input voltage to thereby produce a standby DC voltage. The rectified voltage and the standby DC voltage are connected to an AC load that includes input rectification to thereby produce standby uninterruptible power without the need for costly, bulky, and/or unreliable inverters or converters. Seamless transfer of power may be provided to support the AC load upon failure of the AC utility input voltage and upon restoration of the AC utility input voltage. The AC utility input voltage is preferably rectified by a diode rectifier, most preferably a full-wave diode rectifier including at least four diodes, to produce the rectified voltage. A diode switch is used to activate the DC voltage from the battery in response to a change in the AC utility input voltage to thereby produce the standby DC voltage. The diode switch may include a separate diode and an electronic or electromechanical switch. Alternatively, the diode switch may be a single element such as a thyristor. The diode rectifier and the diode and switch are connected in a diode-OR connection that provides the standby uninterruptible power for the output of the UPS. The diode-OR connection allows the strongest source to support the AC load at all times.

Title: Heat detector with increased accuracy alarm temperature threshold and improved low temperature testing
Inventor: TANGUAY WILLIAM
IPC: G01K15/00
Filed: 2000-05-05
Abstract: A heat detector 50 includes a temperature sensing and testing circuit 54 that provides an increased accuracy temperature sensing range and a push-to-test circuit that is electronically functional at low ambient temperatures. The arrangement includes a sensing circuit consisting of a voltage divider formed from a resistor 62 and a thermistor 56. The thermistor 56 is connected directly between a detector voltage input 58 to a control unit 52 and ground. The push-to-test circuit includes a parallel combination of a test resistor 72 and a transistor 70 connected between the resistor 62 and a voltage source 16. During normal operating conditions, base current is supplied to the transistor 70 such that it functions as a short circuit between the resistor 62 and the source 16. Upon depression of a push button 76, the base of transistor 70 is connected to the emitter such that the transistor acts as an open circuit. When the button 76 is depressed, a resistor 72 is connected in series with resistor 62 to simulate an increase in ambient temperature to test the detector 50.

Title: A brake-by-wire electro-hydraulic braking system
Inventor: HARRIS ALAN LESLIE
IPC: B60T13/68
Filed: 2000-07-01
Abstract: In a brake-by- wire mode, hydraulic pressure is applied from a charged pressure accumulator 22 to braking devices 18a-18d at the vehicle wheels in response to the driver's braking demand as sensed electronically at a brake pedal 10, and in a push- through mode, hydraulic pressure is applied to the braking devices from a master cylinder 34. A hydraulic simulator 38 is connected hydraulically to the master cylinder 34 for providing improved feel for the driver through the brake pedal in the brake-by wire mode. When the occurrence of a progressively falling trend in the accumulator pressure is detected, the brake pressure is modified to reduce the brake fluid consumption by the wheel brakes, whilst at least maintaining the demanded vehicle deceleration. A number of ways of effecting this reduction are disclosed.

Patent GB-2355095-A (GB)
Title: Semiconductor circuitry
Inventor: KAWASAKI KENICHI
IPC: G11C7/22
Filed: 1997-07-17
Abstract: First semiconductor devices (610-613) are connected to a clock transmission path (603) at a series of first locations therealong for receiving a clock signal (CLK) transmitted by that path in a first direction, and are also connected respectively to a data transmission path (602) at a series of second location therealong. The data transmission path extends generally in parallel with the clock transmission path. Each first device outputs a data item at a time determined by the clock signal received by the device. A further semiconductor device (601) is connected to the clock transmission path at a further first location therealong, downstream of the series of first locations in said first direction, for receiving the clock signal transmitted by that path, and is also connected to the data transmission path at a further second location therealong, downstream of the series of second locations in the first direction, for receiving data items output by the first devices and transmitted thereto in said first direction via the data transmission path. The further device inputs such a data item at a time determined by the clock signal received by it. In such circuitry the more upstream a first device is in the first direction the earlier it receives the clock signal via the clock transmission path but the longer a transmission delay of its output data item in reaching the further device via the data transmission path. This avoids problems with the clock signals being received with different delays by the different devices.

Title: Waste water filtration tank
Inventor: COWAN ANTHONY
IPC: B01D29/01
Filed: 2000-04-14
Abstract: A waste water filtration tank (1) receives waste water under hydrostatic pressure. The tank (1) collects solids using a filter screen (7). When the screen (7) becomes clogged with collected solids, liquid is forced into a float chamber (6) which contains a float (13). As waste water collects in the float chamber (6), the float (13) rises, as do a beam member (14) and a pair of rod members (19) to which the float (13) is attached. When the float (13) reaches a predetermined level, cams contained on the rising rod members (19) act on spring-loaded latches, opening the latches and permitting a spring loaded sleeve (20) and reservoir gate (17) to rise, opening the reservoir outlet (12). Accumulated solids are then drained from the reservoir and the backwash from the screen chamber (2) also clears the clogged screen (7).

IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2002-01-16
Abstract: A workflow system in the form of a network including at least two workstations at which work in the form of a sequence of at least two tasks is performed is described. The system employs mobile agents both as task application and as a transport mechanism around the network. An agent is a mobile thread, which is able to move from one computer to another whilst maintaining the value of its internal objects and variables. Many agents may exist at any one time in the workflow system. An agent may be created using a rule set that may be generated and saved by an administrator. The agent uses a rule set to define the actions that it is to perform at a destination. Every action that an agent performs may be considered as an action of work and when an agent moves to a new destination this could be considered as an example of a workflow. A task application may be an application form for a university, the handling of claims by an insurance company, the registration of trademarks by a trademark registry etc.
