Title: Overburden discharge conveyor system and method
Inventor: POTTS ALAN
IPC: B65G65/28
Filed: 2008-09-19
Abstract: An overburden discharge conveyor system comprises, in combination, an overland conveyor 13 for overburden, the overland conveyor having a tripper station 14 movably mounted therein, the tripper station having a tripper car conveyor 15 for conveying material from the overland conveyor transversely to one side thereof, and an overburden dumper, comprising a supporting frame carried by a pair of endless tracks 2, a boom conveyor 3 mounted on the supporting frame and extending upwardly and outwardly from the frame from a loading end within the frame to a discharge end remote therefrom. The overburden dumper is configured such that it can be positioned alongside the overland conveyor 13 with the tripper car conveyor 15 discharging material directly on to the loading end 23 of the boom conveyor 3. The method of the invention comprises, transporting the overburden to a dumping location by an overland conveyor; diverting the overburden by means of a tripper station associated with the overland conveyor on to an overburden dumper and creating a first pile with a pre-determined height; moving the tripper station and the overburden dumper parallel to the overland conveyor by a predetermined distance and creating another pile overlapping with the first; repeating until a desired length of adjacent piles is achieved; and levelling the piles to achieve a generally flat surface.

Title: Method of authenticating a roaming terminal to use communication services of a visited network
Inventor: HOFFMAN TORBEN
IPC: H04W8/20
Filed: 2008-10-02
Abstract: A mobile communication terminal (101) sends (207) to a visited network (103) a certified service record of communication services it is allowed to use, which service record is provided by the home network (102). The service record is accompanied by a certificate encoded by the home network by a calculation procedure applied to the service record using an authentication key. The visited network calculates (211) an authentication code for the service record using an authentication key provided by the visited network and authenticates the service record by matching (212) the certificate and authentication codes.

Title: Projection method where the two periodic control signals and the light modulation signal are synchronised by a clock generator
Inventor: FREUND FRANK
IPC: G02B26/08
Filed: 2009-02-04
Abstract: A projection method and system comprising a signal generator 2 for generating two periodic control signals 3,4 to excite a biaxial deflection unit, a modulation signal generator 8 for producing a light modulation signal 5 to modulate an intensity of a light beam which is deflected by the biaxial deflection unit, and a clock generator 8 for synchronising the signal generator 2 and the modulation signal generator 8. An image memory 6 may be arranged to store brightness values for pixels of an image to be projected and to output them to the modulation signal generator 8 in response to a clock signal 9 from the clock generator 8, wherein the light modulation signal 5 is generated in response to the output brightness values. The image memory 6 may be a ring buffer wherein the pixels are stored in a sequence corresponding to a Lissajous figure (Figure 2), which is predetermined by the periodic control signals 3,4. The image memory may provide a memory region for storing the pixels and an access table 7 to the memory region wherin entries are sorted in a sequence of the associated pixels as the associated pixels are disposed along a Lissajous figure.

Title: System and method for monitoring the activity of an operating device such as a road cleaner on a geographical scale
Inventor: BRIDSALL STEPHEN PAUL
IPC: G01S1/00
Filed: 2009-07-24
Abstract: A method of tracking and monitoring the activity of a road cleaning vehicle is disclosed. The method involves capturing, via a GPS receiver, a path of the road cleaning vehicle; associating with the path, data that represents the operational status of the vehicle, e.g. whether it is cleaning or just in transit; and identifying grid elements within a segmented digital map that contain parts of the captured path, wherein, each grid element has attributes associated with it that define a set of activities to which the grid element can be subjected e.g. whether the grid element contains a section of road that can be cleaned. When the attributes indicate that the grid element can be subject to cleaning by the tracked vehicle, and the status of the vehicle indicates that it is cleaning, the grid element is tagged to indicate that the cleaning operation has been performed upon it. The method is typically performed in a software program that can display the map, the grid elements, and the processed information that describes the track on a visual display unit.

Title: New dichlor-n-dihydro 1,2,2,1 anthraquinoneazine and process of making same
Filed: 1924-04-22
Abstract: Dichlor-N-dihydro-1 : 2 : 21 : 1-dianthraquinoneazine is obtained by chlorinating the parent dihydroazine suspended in molten sulphur at a temperature above the boiling point of disulphurdichloride and at ordinary pressure; a catalyst such as iodine or mercury chloride may be added.  In an example chlorine is passed into the sulphur suspension at 210-220 DEG  C. at such a rate that a large excess of disulphurdichloride is not produced; the product is boiled with sodium sulphide to remove sulphur and reduce the green chlorinated azine to the hydroazine; it differs from the known dichlor-derivative and dyes cotton from the vat, even in hard water, in bright greenish-blue shades fast to chlorine.

Filed: 1951-04-28
Abstract: 701,303. Control of motors; controllers; protective cut-out arrangements. BRITISH KLOCKNER SWITCHGEAR, Ltd. April 18, 1952 [April 28, 1951], No. 10004/51. Classes 38(3) and 38(5) An overload coil 6 for protecting an electric motor is adapted to attract, subject to a time delay, a pivoted armature 12 which is normally held away from the core 7 by a spring 13. When attracted, the armature 12 actuates contacts for disconnecting the motor. The overload coil is automatically shunted by a resistor 9a when an auxiliary coil 8 is energized sufficiently by the load current to close contact 10 against the effect of spring 11. This prevents premature tripping of the overload due to transient peak currents during the starting period. In an alternative arrangement the closure.of contacts 10 is adapted to short-circuit a 'number of the turns of the overload coil.

Title: A process of manufacturing acid-proof hydraulic binding agents
IPC: C04B7/00
Filed: 1927-04-12
Abstract: 269,549. Portland-Cementwerk Balingen Ges. April 13, 1926, [Convention date]. Cements, Portland materials for making.-An acid-proof hydraulic cement resembling Portland or Roman cement contains barium instead of calcium compounds. As raw material barium sulphate or carbonate may be used; this is mixed with sand, clay, or the like, crushed and burned at or below the sintering temperature, or alternatively the material may be completely fused. Reducing agents such as coke may be added. When using barium sulphate the resulting sulphur dioxide may be used for the production of sulphuric acid. The chemical-resisting properties of the cement are increased by treating it with SO3 ions; this may be effected by adding sulphates before or during the final grinding, or by treating articles made of the cement with sulphuric acid or magnesium or ammonium sulphate solution. The setting time may be controlled by additions of gypsum. The cement should preferably contain a proportion of aluminium silicate or of iron oxide.

Abstract: 714,762. Snap-action switches; retractive switches. D. S. PLUGS, Ltd. July 25, 1952 [May 5, 1951], No. 10602/51. Class 38(5) A switch has an operating lever 21 housing a spring biased plunger 22 which engages an operative edge of a one piece rockable contact member 18, the member 18 being pivotally mounted in a bearing 20 from which it is readily detachable. Thus by using contact members having different shapes on their operative edges a range of switches for a variety of purposes may be provided. In Fig. 3 the contact member has a central depression 25 on its edge, the plunger engaging in the depression to provide a central off position. The depression 25 may be shaped as shown so that when the lever 21 is moved to one side of the central position to close contacts 15, 17 or 14, 16, it is maintained on that side of the central position to hold the selected circuit closed. Alternatively, the depression 25 may have steep sides so that the lever 21 retracts when released. In Fig. 1 (not shown) the operative edge of the contact member has a projection so that the switch functions as a change-over switch without a central off position. Other arrangements are described and shown.
