Patent AU-2001261796-B2 (AU)
Title: Production of on-demand semi-solid material for castings
Inventor: LU JIAN
IPC: B22D17/00
Filed: 2001-05-21
Granted: 2006-04-06
Abstract: A method of producing on-demand, semi-solid material for a casting process includes the steps of first heating a metal alloy until it reaches a molten state and maintaining that molten state within a desired temperature range. The next step is to ladle out a portion of the molten alloy and transfer it into a processing vessel. In one arrangement the vessel is configured with its own cooling arrangement so as to begin the solidification process for the molten alloy. In another embodiment, a thermal jacket is used to facilitate the cooling of the vessel and accordingly the cooling of the molten alloy. The next step is to apply an electromagnetic field to the molten alloy in order to create a stirring action which results in a desired flow pattern of the molten alloy within the vessel. The electromagnetic stirring begins as soon as the molten alloy is placed in the vessel and continues while the cooling continues in order to create a slurry billet of the desired metallurgical composition. The final step is to discharge the slurry billet from the vessel directly into a shot sleeve of a casting machine. The apparatus related to the described method includes a vessel which is constructed and arranged for receipt of the molten alloy. A robotic arm is provided in one embodiment for moving the vessel into a stator and then from the stator to the discharge location. In another embodiment, pneumatic cylinders are used in cooperation with structural linkages to effect movement of the vessel first into the stator and then from the stator to the discharge location. Suitable cooling arrangements for the vessel include cooling lines within the vessel, the passage of cooling air between the stator and the vessel, and the use of a thermal jacket.

Title: Mixed technology MEMS/BiCMOS LC bandpass sigma-delta for direct RF sampling
Inventor: LINDER LLOYD F
IPC: H03M3/02
Filed: 2004-02-12
Granted: 2006-10-05
Abstract: An improved sigma-delta modulator is disclosed. The sigma-delta modulator utilizes Micro Electro Mechanical System (MEMS) technology coupled with on-chip LC networks. MEMS switches are used to switch capacitors and inductors in and out of the network to alter the center frequency and tuning range of the sigma-delta modulator, thus eliminating active components in each LC network. Furthermore, the use of MEMS switches improves the Q of each LC network relative to previous on-chip sigma-delta modulator designs. The increased Q of each LC network reduces or eliminates the need for active Q-enhancement circuitry and improves the inherent filter shape within the loop of the sigma-delta modulator. In addition, the distortion of active components with the loop of the sigma-delta modulator also is improved. The addition of a decimator to the chip presents a complete single chip LC sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter.

Title: Hydraulic holding cylinder for wing lift mechanism
Inventor: DAVID DOBSON
IPC: A01B73/00
Filed: 2005-04-06
Granted: 2011-09-22
Abstract: The transversely extending frame of a machine has a number of hingedly interconnected frame sections that may be raised and lowered by lift cylinders to convert the machine between a wide- spread working position and a folded-up transport position. Two lift cylinders for raising and 5 lowering inner wing frame sections relative to the central main frame section are anchored at their inner ends to a hydraulically operated holding cylinder that effectively adjusts the positions of the anchor points of the lift cylinder in a lateral sense. Thus, when the holding cylinder is fully contracted, the inner wing frame sections may be lowered by their lift cylinders until the lift cylinders are fully extended, but the outer ends of the inner wing frame sections remain tilted upwardly to a 0 certain extent. Thus, outer wing frame sections connected to the outer ends of the inner wing frame sections also remain slightly lifted off the ground until fully unfolded from the inner wing frame sections. Thereupon, the holding cylinder may be extended to gently lower all wing frame sections to the ground without damaging tools or mounting components for such tools.

Abstract: An air decontamination device comprises an air stream generator (20), a non-thermal plasma filter (22), an ultraviolet (UV) radiation emitting device (24), an ozone catalyzing device (26), and a hydrocarbon emitter (28). The air stream generator (20) generates and directs an air stream through or across the non-thermal plasma filter (22), the UV radiation emitting device (24), the ozone catalyzing device (26), and the hydrocarbon emitter (28). The plasma filter (22) produces free radicals by which contaminants in the air stream are neutralized. The UV radiation emitting device (24) breaks down ozone in the air stream, catalyzed by the ozone catalyzing device (26). The hydrocarbon emitter (28) discharges an aromatic hydrocarbon into the air stream to preferentially react with residual ozone so that the air stream becomes suitable for human exposure. A method is also provided.

Title: Method and system for implementing H-ARQ-assisted ARQ operation
Inventor: ARTY CHANDRA
IPC: H04L1/18
Filed: 2006-12-27
Granted: 2011-12-08
Abstract: A method and system for implementing hybrid automatic repeat request (H-ARQ)-assisted automatic repeat request (ARQ) in a wireless communication system are disclosed. When an H-ARQ negative acknowledgement (NACK)-to-positive acknowledgement (ACK) error occurs, the H-ARQ receiver sends an H-ARQ NACK-to-ACK error indicator to the H-ARQ transmitter unless a maximum retransmission limit has reached, a maximum time for delivery has expired or a lifespan of the failed packet has expired. The H-ARQ transmitter sends a local NACK to the ARQ transmitter so that the failed packet is recovered at an ARQ level. The H-ARQ receiver sends a local NACK to the ARQ receiver if the H-ARQ receiver does not receive the failed packet before certain conditions occur. The ARQ receiver may send a status report to the ARQ transmitter for recovery of the failed packet.
