Patent DE-19915887-A1 (DE)
Title: Sludge and water pumping sequence in two-stage biological waste water
Inventor: TOPOL JAN
IPC: C02F3/12
Filed: 1999-04-08
Abstract: A two-stage (1, 2) biological process treats effluent water using activated, suspended sludge. A two-stage (1, 2) biological process treats effluent water using activated, suspended sludge. Water effluent is received by a balancing tank (1). While the reactor (2) is subsequently filled with raw water, sludge is pumped into the reactor (2). When the fluid has reached the maximum permissible level within the reactor, sludge pumping is terminated. When the reactor is subsequently emptied, the sludge is first pumped out and transferred to the balancing tank (1) until the point at which the water level in the reactor tank reaches the level where clean water discharge is triggered. The discharge of clean water and the return of sludge to the balancing tank is terminated when the fluid level in the reactor has fallen to the minimum allowable point. The reactor is then re-filled with effluent water from the balancing tank.

Title: Motor vehicle hydraulic braking system
Inventor: SEKIHARA YASUHITO
IPC: B60T8/00
Filed: 1999-04-20
Abstract: The wheel brakes (11-14) are applied to the road wheels (FL,RL) in response to hydraulic pressure input using a master cylinder (17) to force braking fluid out of the accumulator (15) in response to the brake pedal (16) to the respective brakes. Fluid is pumped (18,19) from the accumulator to the brakes or passed to the brakes via hydraulic passage (21,22) opened and closed by valve (23,24) in the passage.  A second hydraulic passage (25,26) feeds fluid from the master cylinder to the intake side of the pumps under control of valve (27,28) opening and closing passage. The throughput of this second passage is controlled from within the passage by an adjuster (29,30). The adjuster reduces the passage section to suppress the hydraulic pulsation applied to the cylinder (17) from the pump intake when the brake pedal is depressed but increase the passage section when the pedal is released. Pumped fluid is fed via a third passage (31,32) to the passage sector between valve and brakes and a third valve (37-40) between brakes and the link between the two passages (21,22) and to open and close the first passage. Fluid is passed from the brake to the pump intake via passage (41,42,45,46) opened and closed by a fourth valve (43,44,47,48).

Title: Protection against meteorite impact, involving trapping fast meteorites in water baths before they can damage spacecraft
IPC: B64G1/56
Filed: 1999-08-18
Abstract: The protection against meteorite impact is afforded by water in a tank divided into cells (1) mounted on the outer wall (2) of the spacecraft. The deeper the water bath, the greater the protection it provides. The water tank should be made of the sort of heat-resistant plastic currently used on the tips of rockets.

Title: Improved function testing for computer software by first stage filtering out of large bugs or defects in source code by insertion of large syntax errors into source code modules to be detected by the testing system
Inventor: WIEMANN ALAN
IPC: G06F9/45
Filed: 1999-12-08
Abstract: Testing of computer programs by insertion of large syntax errors into a program and then executing a three stage test program to identify the error.  Test system involves insertion of a syntax error (mutation) into a program module of the source code modules. The program is then compiled and detailed testing undertaken that detects any easily found (large) mutations. If the detailed testing identifies the mutation as large then testing is ended and another program can be tested. If detailed programming defines the error as small then an additional regression test is undertaken. If the regression test finds the small error within a preset simulation period then testing is ended. If the error is still not found then a defect in the testing process is indicated and the regression step must be improved.
