Title: Vessel instrument network
Inventor: NINOMIYA AKIRA
IPC: B63B49/00
Filed: 2008-08-29
Abstract: A network system where vessel instruments including sensors are connected through a communication network is provided. The sensors generate the same type of navigation data. The system includes a first network (100) for realizing one-to-many communication, a first group instruments (11; 12; 13; 14) connected with each other through the first network, and a second group instruments (21; 22; 23) connected to the first network with a different protocol from the first network. The first group instrument (13) is an input/output gate between the second group instruments and the first network. At least one of the first group instruments has a server function. The first group instruments obtain identification information and types of navigation data of the second group instruments using the first group instruments as input/output gates, and the instrument (11) acting as the server obtains identification information and types of navigation data of the instruments. The server function instrument (11) selects one of the sensors generating the same type of navigation data, and outputs a sharing instruction of the data of the selected sensor, through the first network (100). The first group instrument (13) provides the sharing instruction to the second group instruments using the first group instrument as the gate. The arrangement allows selection of the source of navigation data from a number of possible sources in a multi-network vessel instrument arrangement. The vessel instrument network may be a network on a ship, boat, submarine for example and may include instruments such as fish finders, sonar, GPS units, radar, LORAN, gyroscopes, echo sounders, speed gauges, or weather/sea related instruments for example. The selection of the source may be a user or default selection and may be based on the source producing the highest quality data (e.g. most recent, highest accuracy etc.).

Title: Method of producing electrolyzed water
Inventor: MIYASHITA KOHICHI
IPC: C02F1/461
Filed: 2008-09-19
Abstract: A method of producing electrolyzed water comprises supplying an aqueous electrolyte solution to a first electrolytic chamber 3a, and supplying raw water to a second electrolytic chamber 3b, the first and second chambers being separated by an ion permeable diaphragm 2. A voltage is applied to an electrode 7a, 7b in each of the electrolytic chambers to electrolyze the raw water and electrolyte solution. If an electrolytic current generated by the electrolysis is less than a predetermined current after a first predetermined time has elapsed, the supply of electrolyte to the electrolyte chamber is increased until it is greater than or equal to the predetermined current; while maintaining the voltage applied to the electrodes at a predetermined voltage. Preferably, if the electrolytic current is equal to or greater than the predetermined current after the first predetermined time has elapsed, the supply of electrolyte to the first electrolytic chamber is maintained. Preferably, the method produces hypochlorous acid for use as a disinfectant in medical environments, and the electrolytic solution is aqueous sodium chloride.

Title: A process for manufacturing grafted styrene polymers
IPC: C08F2/54
Filed: 1965-03-09
Abstract: A grafted styrene polymer is produced by irradiating a pulverulent or granular styrene polymer with ionizing radiation and either contacting the irradiated polymer with a monomer which is a conjugated diene or a derivative thereof either alone or mixed with a vinyl or vinylidene monomer or contacting the irradiated polymer with a solution of said monomer or monomers under conditions in which the styrene polymer is swelled but the pulverulent or granular form of said polymer is not destroyed. The styrene polymer is derived predominantly from styrene or a nuclearly or side-chain substituted styrene. Suitable dienes are 1,3-butadiene, isoprene and chloroprene. Specified graft comonomers are styrene, acrylonitrile, methacrylonitrile, methacrylate esters, vinyl formate, vinyl stearate and vinylidene chloride.  In examples, the polymers are irradiated prior to immersion in monomer solutions, the components being as follows: (1) polystyrene and butadiene, (2) polystyrene, butadiene and styrene, (3) styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer, butadiene and styrene, (6) styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer, isoprene and styrene and (7) styrene/alpha-methyl styrene copolyner, butadiene and styrene.  The graft polymer produced in Example 3 is blended with styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer in Example 4 and the graft polymer produced in Example 2 is blended with SBR rubber in Example 5.

Abstract: 251,756. Schwantes, J. A., and Palmolive Co. April 17, 1925. Soap, shredded &c.-Melted soap passes from a tank 14 through a pipe 15 and pump 16 to a shredding and drying device 18 in a vat 10. The vat is provided with a ventilator 13 and has a chamber 61 fed with hot air by a blower 62. The shreds of soap fall into the lower conical end of the vat and, after passing through a gate controlled by a rotary member 64 are drawn through a pipe 65 into a cyclone member 66. The soap is cooled during its passage through the pipe by cool air from a blower 68. The discharge of the shredded soap from the member 66 into barrels 72 is controlled by gates 70, 71. The shredding and drying device 18, Figs. 7 and 8, is carried in a frame 19 and comprises two oppositelyrotating disc members 23, 25 secured at the ends of sleeve members 22, 24 respectively. The disc 23 is formed with a number of short radial vents extending from its edge to openings in its lower face, and a number of long vents 49 extending from its edge to a central aperture into which the liquid soap is discharged from a central tube 20; the rate of discharge is controlled by a screw 21. The rim of the disc 25 is provided with spaced slots 26. The rotation of the disc 23 forces the soap through the vents 49 and across the line of the rotating rim of the disc 25.

Title: Improvements in or relating to electrical oscillation generators
IPC: H03K4/34
Filed: 1935-04-01
Abstract: 442,334. Valve generating circuits. MARCONI'S WIRELESS TELEGRAPH CO., Ltd., Electra House, Victoria Embankment, London-(Vance, A. W. ; 324, South 11th Street, Philadelphia, U.S.A.) April 1, 1935, No. 10111. [Class 40 (v)] A saw-tooth current generator for television &c. comprises a back-coupled valve with an inductance coil in its plate circuit, the current through the inductance coil rising gradually during the trace portion of the wave, and falling rapidly to zero when the conditions are changed by saturation or by a synchronizing signal. Current through the coil 55 and the plate-cathode path of the valve 45 rises gradually and the inductive coupling to the grid coil 57 tends to make the grid positive. When the current approaches saturation, or when a negative synchronizing signal is applied to the grid 49, the plate current ceases rising, and the grid becomes increasingly negative, giving a rapid cut-off of plate current. The scanning-coil 13 is coupled by a capacity 15 across the coil 55, or is transformer-coupled to the grid coil 57. The back-coupling may be effected by coupling the scanning-coil 13 to the grid coil 57, or the plate coil 55 may be used as the scanning-coil. The self-capacity of the coils should be reduced to a minimum. When the valve 45 is used as a line-frequency oscillator in a television receiver, a second similar oscillator may be used for the framing oscillation. Synchronization is effected by impulses applied through the valve 25 either to the grid circuit or the plate circuit of the oscillators.
