Abstract: An air cleaning device (A) includes a bulb-shaped casing (1) provided at one end with a base (4) and at the other end with an outlet (3e, 3a), in which an AC/DC converter (11) for converting an alternating current from the base (4) into a direct current, a boosting transformer (12) for boosting the direct current, and a negative ion generator or ozone generator (21 or 21A) connected to the boosting transformer (12) are accommodated. Application of high voltage from the boosting transformer (12) to the negative ion generator or ozone generator (21 or 21A) induces electrical discharge to generate negative ions alone or both negative ions and ozone and release the negative ions alone or both the negative ions and the ozone from the outlet (3e, 3a). The device can be disposed on the floor, suspended from above, hung on the wall or set in position at an optional location, using as its power source electric power from a socket (41A, 41B) for a reading lamp, a socket (62) built in the ceiling, or an electrical receptacle mounted in a wall, so that negative ions alone or both negative ions and ozone can be released in an optional direction. <IMAGE>

Abstract: This invention is based on the preparation of new solid acid triphosphates with compositions of the general formula M(IV)(HPO4)(H2PO4)2, where M(IV) is a tetravalent metal or a mixture of tetravalent metals. These compounds are insoluble in water the greater part of most organic solvents. They show a high non-water assisted protonic conductivity (about 0.01-0.04 S/cm at 100° C. and a relative humidity lower than 1%). These compounds can be used as proton conduction separators in electrochemical devices, to operate at low relative humidity values, as for example in different fuel cells, protonic pumps for electrochemical hydrogenation and dehydrogenation of organic compounds, or for hydrogen production from hydrogenated organic compounds by electro-reforming, or also for removing hydrogen from equilibrium reactions. These compounds can also be used in electrochemical sensors, in super capacitors and as acid catalysts in non-aqueous or anhydrous gaseous phases.

Abstract: Data to be transmitted over a network includes a first part (perhaps audio) which is always to be transmitted and alternative second parts (perhaps video coded at different compression rates) of which one is to be chosen for transmission, depending on the current network capacity. In order to accommodate systems where (owing perhaps to the use of a congestion control mechanism such as TCP) the capacity available is initially undetermined, one firstly begins to transmit just the first part. When the network capacity becomes known (typically by monitoring the performance of the network in transmitting the first part), one of the alternative second parts is chosen and transmission of it commences. If desired this may initially be preferentially to, or to the exclusion of, further transmission of the first part.

Abstract: A lightning detection system provides an estimated location of a lightning stroke. The system includes sensors and an analyzer. Each sensor within range of a lightning event provides messages to the analyzer. Each sensor includes a waveform engine that converts a signal received from the lightning event to a series of frequency domain components having respective magnitude and phase. The waveform engine adjusts magnitudes and phases of the frequency components, for example, to mitigate the effects of terrain conductivity where the received signal traveled across terrain. The adjusted frequency components are then converted by the waveform engine into a second time domain signal that is described in a message to the analyzer. Each message includes sensor identification, peak amplitude, and time of detecting the lightning event. The analyzer provides an estimated location of the lightning stroke and an estimated peak current of the lightning stroke in accordance with messages received from sensors.
