Title: Atomiser wheel for spray-drying apparatus
Inventor: JENSEN A N
IPC: B05B3/10
Filed: 1985-10-22
Abstract: An atomizer wheel for use in a spray drying apparatus comprises an interior annular liquid supply chamber (4), from which a number of substantially radial ejection ducts (8) extends towards the external surface of the wheel through a length constituting a considerable portion of the radius of the wheel. The ducts (8) discharge into a downwardly open annular discharge slit (10) at a comparatively short distance from an external wall (12) connected with a wheel cover (2) and whose inner wall surface (13) forms an axial-symmetrical surface of revolution with a substantially linear generatrix forming an angle of not more than 15° with the axis of revolution.The comparatively steep slit wall (13) ensures together with the large length of the ejection ducts (8) that the liquid is atomized at the outlet of the discharge slit (10) with a considerable downwardly directed axial velocity component so that the spray characterstics resemble those of nozzle atomization but with preservation of the general advantages with respect to flexibility and reliability of operation associated with wheel atomization.

Title: Assignment of channels to radio communication talkgroups
Inventor: RHODES DAVID BRIAN
IPC: H04W84/08
Filed: 1998-06-10
Abstract: A radio communications system comprising a plurality of talkgroups. Each talkgroup comprises a plurality of individual radio units able to communicate with each other on one of a plurality of discrete communication channels temporarily assigned to that talkgroup by a control unit. The control means identifies a communication channel (the selected channel), which is currently idle, and transmits a "Free Channel" signal in that channel. A radio unit initiating communication with other radio units in the same talkgroup starts to transmit on the selected channel. The control unit assigns the selected channel to the respective talkgroup in response to the transmission, to enable all the radio units in the talkgroup to communicate with each other on the selected channel.
