Title: Detecting transitions in circuits during a part of each clock cycle
Inventor: BULL DAVID MICHAEL
IPC: G01R31/30
Filed: 2008-12-02
Abstract: Transition detection circuitry 20 detects transitions at various nodes A, B, C in a circuit 8 during a detection period which forms part of each clock cycle. A single signal TD_ABC is generated to indicate if a transition has been detected at any of the nodes. The detection period is defined using a detection clock signal TDCLK which is generated from the master clock signal CLK which clocks the circuit. The detection clock signal may be generated by delaying an edge of the master clock signal. The nodes at which transitions are detected may be separated from the latches in the circuit by combinational logic elements. The detection of transitions may be used to control the operating voltage or frequency of the circuit.

Title: Removal of aqueous impurities from siloxane based polymers
Inventor: TAYLOR RICHARD GREGORY
IPC: B01D15/00
Filed: 2009-03-25
Abstract: A process for reducing residual content of aqueous impurities from siloxane based fluids is described. The process involves the step of contacting the siloxane based fluid with a material comprising superabsorbent fibres. The process is particularly suitable as a means of extracting aqueous impurities such as residual hydrochloric acid and/or water during the manufacture of organohydrogensiloxanes or diorganosiloxanes involving hydrolysis. Preferred superabsorbent fibres are an open structured non-woven material made from sodium polyacrylic acid. A method for preparing organohydrogensiloxanes or diorganosiloxanes involving hydrolysis of an organohydrogenchlorosilane or a diorganochlorosilane respectively and an optionally end-blocking triorganochlorosilane also comprising aqueous impurity removal by contact with superabsorbent fibres is also outlined. The process may be used after the siloxane based fluid has already undergone one or more standard techniques for separating water and or chlorides from siloxanes, such techniques including stripping, gravity separation, centrifugation, coalescence and/or membrane separation.

Inventor: YU SIU KWAN
IPC: A23J1/09
Filed: 2009-10-13
Abstract: A utensil 2 for separating egg-white from yolk includes a spoon-shaped separator 18 connected to a housing with two adjacent compartments 4, 6. The compartments may be separable containers 10, 12 with abutting planar surfaces and lids 52, 54.

Title: Improvements in distant electric control systems
IPC: G05D3/14
Filed: 1938-04-04
Abstract: 508,418. Electric control systems. GRANAT, E., and COMPAGNIE DES FORGES ET ACIERIES DE LA MARINE ET D'HOMECOURT. April 4, 1938, No. 10294. Convention date, May 4, 1937. [Class 40 (i)] In a system for transmitting angular movements of the type wherein the controlled object is brought into correspondence with the transmitter at a variable speed depending on the amount of disagreement, the object is driven by a motor, the rotor of which is excited by a field stationary in space and the stator by a field variable in position according to the disagreement between the object and the transmitter. The speed of the motor is determined by the angular displacement between the fields, the motor being stopped and magnetically braked when the fields are brought into coincidence. As shown, the system is adapted for controlling a gun or like platform A from a telescope O through the medium of coarse and fine transmission systems 1, 2 ; 11, 2<1>, each comprising a dynamo-electric transmitter with movable brushes connected to a resultant field receiver. The receivers 2, 2<1> control coarse and fine distributer switches 7, 7<1> through differential mechanisms D, D<1> which also are controlled by the platform A. The switches 7, 7<1> are connected to tappings on the stator winding of the motor 4 which drives the platform. The rotor of the motor 4 is supplied by an auxiliary transmitter 3 through brushes 5 which are rotated by the motor 4 to produce a field in the rotor which is stationary in space. The arrangement is such that for large disagreement between the positions of the parts O, A the switch 7 causes maximum displacement of the stator field of motor 4 to produce fast running of the motor and then the disagreement is reduced to a predetermined value the switch 7 is restored bv the differential D to switch in the switch 7<1> which due to its connections to the stator winding gradually reduces the angular displacement between the fields and consequently the speed of the motor. When the fields are brought into coincidence, the motor is stopped and magnetically braked. In a modification, the rotor of the motor 4 may be fed from the auxiliary transmitter through a motor-generator amplifier. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 6496/12, [Class 38 (iii)].
