Title: Water mineralization
Inventor: LIBERMAN BORIS
IPC: C02F1/68
Filed: 2012-03-05
Abstract: Water mineralization is performed by acidifying water, introducing and mixing carbonates in powder form into the acidic water, generating carbon dioxide in the water and adding turbidity to it. The treated water is then delivered through a reactor 80A with granular carbonates, in which the carbon dioxide in the water dissolves additional carbonates. The reactor acts simultaneously to add further minerals as well as alkalinity to the water, and to remove the turbidity out of the water by dissolving residual powder and filtering non-dissolvable particles. Carbon dioxide is recycled 128 by removing carbon dioxide from water exiting the reactor and introducing the removed carbon dioxide into water entering the reactor. A water mineralization system is also claimed. Preferably, the powdered and/or granular carbonates comprise at least one of: dolomite and calcite. The granular dolomite may be partially burnt dolomite. Water exiting the reactor can be mixed with desalinated water. A pH regulating module 118 may be arranged to adjust a pH of the mixed water by adding a base thereto.

Patent GB-2526357-A (GB)
Title: Control system and method
Inventor: KELLY JAMES
IPC: B60W40/107
Filed: 2014-05-23
Abstract: Vehicle speed / cruise control having target speed (user_set_speed / LSP_set-speed). Torque is supplied, possibly by an electric / electronic controller, to cause travel at a required speed (LSP_set-speed_inst). Changes in required speed occur according to pre-determined speed / acceleration profile (figure 6b), causing a change in instant vehicle speed (v_ref). When powertrain interruption occurs (e.g. gear change), changes in required speed (LSP_set-speed_inst) are suspended, i.e. the acceleration profile is time-shifted. Required torque may be determined according to the difference (speed_delta, figure 8) between required and instant vehicle speeds. Electric controller may receive signals indicative of powertrain torque interruption / gear change, prompting cessation in acceleration, and indicative of powertrain torque resumption to resume acceleration. Vehicle speed may be kept constant, or an amount of change of speed may be limited, during powertrain torque interruption. The electronic controller may have a proportional-integral (PI) feedback control portion outputting a signal proportional to difference between v_ref and LSP_set-speed, and a signal corresponding to an integrated value over time of the difference between v_ref and LSP_set-speed. A method of use is also disclosed.
