Patent EP-1559472-A1 (EP)
Inventor: COTE PIERRE
IPC: B01D61/22
Filed: 1999-11-18
Abstract: In a process for filtering water containing solids using filtering membranes (24) in an open
tank (120), feed water (14) is introduced into the tank to replace permeate removed (36) from
the tank to keep the membranes preferably immersed in water while permeate is
withdrawn. From time to time the concentration of solids in the water in the tank is
reduced through deconcentration steps in which a volume of water having an increased
concentration of solids compared to the initial concentration of solids is drained from
the tank and a similar volume of feed water is introduced into the tank. The membranes
may remain immersed in water during the deconcentrations by adding feed water to the
tank while retentate is withdrawn from the tank.

Abstract: A catalytic reactor 10 comprises a plurality of
fluid-impermeable elements (tubes or plates) 12 defining
flow channels 15 between them. Tight fitting within each
flow channel 15 is a sheet 16 of corrugated material
whose surfaces are coated with catalytic material. At
each end of the reactor 10 are headers 18 to supply gas
mixtures to the flow channels 15, the headers
communicating with adjacent channels being separate. The
reactor 10 enables different gas mixtures to be supplied
to adjacent channels 15, which may be at different
pressures, and the corresponding chemical reactions are
also different. Where one of the reactions is
endothermic while the other reaction is exothermic, heat
is transferred through the wall of the tube 12 separating
the adjacent channels 15, from the exothermic reaction to
the endothermic reaction. The reactor 10 may be used in
a compact plant to perform steam/methane reforming,
obtaining the necessary heat by catalytic methane
combustion, and also for Fischer-Tropsh synthesis.

Abstract: A robot having a managing device having a simple structure for an umbilical member (18) or a conduit, by which an interference region of the conduit is reduced as much as possible and the undesirable excess length of the conduit may be cancelled without using an auxiliary device. A first conduit supporting member (20) is arranged on an upper arm (10) of the robot and a second conduit supporting member (22) is arranged on a wrist element (14) of the robot. The conduit (18) is fixed to or twistably supported by the first and second supporting member. Further, the conduit is held by a holding member (24), mounted between the first and second supporting member, in particular, adjacent to the side of a forearm (12) of the robot, such that the conduit may slide relative to the holding member (24) and may rotate about axes along and perpendicular to the sliding direction of the conduit. As the holding member (24) is positioned as close to the forearm (12) as possible, a gap between the conduit and the forearm is reduced and the possibility of interference between the conduit and an external equipment may be minimized.

Abstract: A Hall sensor comprises a Hall element (1; 30; 31; 60) and an amplifier (2; 32; 33). The Hall element is placed inside the amplifier so that the current flowing through the Hall element also flows through the transistors of an amplifier stage of the amplifier. The current flowing through the Hall element flows for example through the transistors of an input stage of the amplifier. In doing so the current consumption of the Hall sensor is reduced to the current the amplifier consumes itself. 
     The Hall sensor is preferably operated in a modified spinning current that preserves the correlation of the noise as far as possible. Preferably, the current flowing through the Hall element is pulsed. This mode of operation is useful for applications based on a battery as power supply. The signal to noise ratio related to the power consumption increases. A pulsed operation means that the current flowing through the Hall element is switched on and off with a predetermined frequency.
