Inventor: JENKINS STEPHEN DEREK
IPC: D06F58/28
Filed: 2012-01-19
Abstract: The invention provides a method for the drying of a wet substrate. The method includes treating the substrate with a solid particulate material at ambient or elevated temperature, and carried out in an apparatus comprising a drum with perforated side walls.  The drum is rotated so as to facilitate increased mechanical action between the substrate and the solid particulate material. The method also includes separating the solid particulate material from the dried substrate on completion of the drying process; and recovering the solid particulate material for re-use in subsequent drying procedures. The wet substrate can include textile fabrics. The invention can provide enhanced drying performance, reduced textile damage, and reduced energy consumption compared to conventional tumble drying of textile fabrics.

Title: Dimming ballast for electrodeless lamp
Inventor: KUMAR NITIN
IPC: H05B41/288
Filed: 2012-05-08
Abstract: A ballast to energize a lamp at a selected lighting level is provided. The ballast includes a rectifier, a buck converter, and a controller. The rectifier produces a DC voltage with a substantially constant magnitude. The buck converter generates a lamp voltage output from the DC voltage based on a duty cycle. The output has a magnitude that is varied based on the duty cycle to energize the lamp at a selected lighting level. The controller receives a dim input signal indicating the selected lighting level, and provides an appropriate control signal to the buck converter. The appropriate control signal indicates a particular duty cycle corresponding to magnitude of the output to produce the selected lighting level. In response to receiving the control signal, the buck converter adjusts the duty cycle accordingly, producing the output having the magnitude to energize the lamp at the selected lighting level.

Abstract: A side arm release system for an eyeglass frame includes front frame having outer edges, each of the edges terminating in a vertical line substantially parallel to a plane defined by the eyeglasses or the like held within the front frame. The vertical line functions as a fulcrum for the release function. The system further includes a pair of axle journals, one each of the journals of the pair integrally depending from the inner surface of each outer end of the front frame, the journal projecting in a direction generally normal to the plane of the eyeglasses held within the front frame. The journals are located proximally to the fulcrum within a dimension having a width of the forward-most ends of side arms. The system also includes a pair of male bayonet clips, each rotationally dependent at one end from axles within respective the journals of the eyeglass frame, and inwardly of the fulcrum in the direction of a nose bridge of the front frame. Each of the temple pieces exhibit a forward end terminating in a vertical camming surface which contacts the fulcrum upon rotation of the arms or temple members. A pair of female bayonet clips are proportioned for complemental engagement of opposing male bayonet clips, the female clips formed integrally upon inner sides of each temple piece proximally to each of the male bayonet clips when the male clips are press- fitted into the female clips. The outward rotation of temple members causes a lever action of the camming surface upon the fulcrum, pulling on the male bayonet clip. Rotation of the eyeglass frame oppositely in direction to the rotation of the side arm will also pull the male bayonet clip out of engagement with its associated female clip and in the direction of the eyeglass frame.

Abstract: The composition is a synthetic, vegan/vegetarian substitute for bacon grease to be used in cooking, baking and frying foods. In taste and consistency, it is made to replicate bacon grease yet be suitable to such diets that exclude animal-based ingredients. The compound is prepared by melting down and then reconstituting clarified vegetable oil (which may include canola, palm, soy, coconut or any combination of vegetable oils) with the flavour of smoked bacon by adding various ingredients which are both fried separately and boiled in the oil mixture. The composition then congeals when cooling, and is mixed or shaken as it cools so as to evenly distribute the added ingredients throughout the composition rather than settling entirely on the bottom of their given container.

Title: Compensated cross-well tomography methods and systems
Inventor: DONDERICI BURKAY
IPC: G01V1/00
Filed: 2011-10-06
Abstract: A method and system to compensate for inaccuracies in cross-well tomography is presented. The method includes obtaining data from at least two receivers in response to transmissions from at least two transmitters. Next, at least one compensated value is derived based on the responses of the receivers to the transmitters. Finally, an inversion is performed based at least in part on the compensated value derived. This method eliminates inaccuracies that can be caused by sensor gain and phase variations in the inversion process. Inversion results with gain and phase compensation produce better imaging results that can better help determine the shape and boundaries of the reservoir.
