Title: Charging electric vehicle batteries with external converters using the timesharing principle
Inventor: CLYMANS BART
IPC: B60L53/65
Filed: 2023-05-09
Abstract: The object of the invention is to charge the battery of multiple electric vehicles (cars, buses, trucks), which are simultaneously connected to multiple charging stations during parking, but are sequentially charged by 1 common DC charger. The number of electric vehicles charged by 1 DC charger in timesharing is of the order of magnitude 8 to 32. The aim is to spread the investment cost of the DC charger over multiple charging points so that it is price competitive with AC chargers as a parking charger, but retains the advantage of fast charging if required. Optionally, in V2G mode, the DC charger can use the combined battery capacity of all attached electric vehicles.

Abstract: Culturing Streptococcus agalactiae in a nutrient broth containing at least 10 g l of glucose while maintaining the pH at 6-8 by the addition of alkaline material produces polysaccharide antigen including a fraction having a molecular size from 8-11 x 10<sup>5</sup>d. By employing a broth free from constituents having a molecular size above 10<sup>5</sup>, the antigens can be separated from the broth in high yield after harvesting the organisms. Vaccination of humans with Streptococcus agalactiae polysaccharide antigens having molecular sizes above 5 x 10' produces in selected individuals specific antibody levels above 200 µg ml of antisera; globulins fractionated from such antisera contain most of the antibody and can be used for passive immunization.

Abstract: A system for recovering information from a videodisc and performing special functions which enhance the operational character of the system. To increase the reliability of landing at or near a target track, provisions are made to search for a track adjacent a target track whose track identifier has been obliterated. Further, a method and means for stepping forward or reverse one field at a time is disclosed. Another aspect of the invention concerns a capability to respond to a random command instruction resulting in subsequent functioning of the system in a random manner. Yet a further aspect of the invention is related to controlled jumping of one or more tracks during vertical blanking time to produce unique forward or backward motions; multiples of playing speed, both forward and reverse, and visual special effects can be realized using the multiple track jumping feature. Finally, a method and means are described which permit synchronous transmission of video from a videodisc to an external using device.

Abstract: A coal gas supply method converts a carbon carrier in a reactor into a coal gas by the addition of oxygen and feeds the coal gas to fuel consumers. To ensure a continuous fuel supply to the fuel consumers during the coal gasification process, a branch current of the coal gas produced is liquefied and stored. At the same time the oxygen stored in liquid form is drawn from a tank, evaporated and used in the reactor. If there is a breakdown in the coal gasification process, the stored quantity of coal gas is evaporated gradually and fed to the consumers. At the same time, oxygen drawn from an oxygen inlet pipe is liquefied and stored. Instead of coal gas, another fuel gas such as natural gas can also be used.
