Abstract: Provided are a method for extracting a carbon material from plastic and a device therefor. The method comprises subjecting at least one plastic material (such as a polyterephthalate salt) to a heat treatment in at least one molten salt (such as NaCl) until above the melting point of the molten salt so as to form a nanostructured carbon material, wherein the salt is in a molten state, and thereby the carbon material is protected from oxidation; moreover, the molten salt facilitates the further graphitization of the carbon material, and the product therefrom is a graphite nanosheet with a high electrical conductivity and a high surface area. The method provides a simple, economic and efficient way for producing conductive carbon materials. The method also produces a significant positive effect on the environment by converting almost non-degradable plastic waste to high value conductive carbon materials.

Title: Rotor assembly
Inventor: ALBERT JOHN BRADLEY
IPC: F03D9/32
Filed: 2020-09-07
Abstract: A rotor assembly (5, fig.1) has a rotatable carrier (10, fig.1) on which two or more vanes 54 are rotatably mounted with axes 52 parallel to that of the carrier, whose axis 24 is perpendicular to the air current or wind 13, as the carrier is caused to rotate by the effect of an airflow over the vanes, the vanes are caused to rotate about their respective axes in an opposite rotational sense, the frontal area of the vanes is reduced, that is feathered reducing drag, over that part of the vanes orbit during which the vane travels generally against the airflow minimising the profile to reduce wind resistance, the assembly determines the wind direction and adjusts the carrier so that the vane orientation is optimised relative to and/or in response to wind direction.

Title: NOx sensor diagnosis system and method
Inventor: AVRA BRAHMA
IPC: G01N33/00
Filed: 2015-07-28
Abstract: An exhaust system 190 has a SCR catalyst 106 and an upstream reductant dosing module 112 that adds reductant into the system. A sensor 150 coupled downstream of the catalyst detects the exhaust system condition and transmits an output signal to a first controller (510, Figure 5) that controls a portion of the system. The controller can selectively activate a second controller (540) with a predetermined design characteristic to output signals from a non-defective sensor, transmit to it the sensor output signals, and subsequently receive a response from the second controller, from which it can diagnose the sensor. The second controller may form a closed loop control system. Sensor diagnosis may involve analysing a gain, phase margin or roots of the closed loop system when the second controller is active. The second controller predetermined design characteristic may be a step response and a function of gain of the sensor. The first controller may determine the sensor gain based on the step response. The first controller may temporarily output signals to the second controller and may perturb the signals from the sensor.

Abstract: A method to generate blockchain transactions for the transfer of an asset from a first party to one of a plurality of second parties. A second hash function (HF) is applied to a combination of the public-keys of the second parties to produce a second hash value (HV). A first HF is applied to the second HV to form a first HV. A first blockchain transaction is generated comprising a locking script (LS) containing the first HV. A second blockchain transaction is generated which references the first blockchain transaction and has an unlocking script (US) that comprises a second party’s public-key, their signature and an intermediate HV based on all the second party public-keys except their own. The second HF is applied to the public-key and it is combined with the intermediate HV. A target first HV is then produced by applying the first HF. The LS of the first blockchain transaction and the US of the second block chain transaction are executed together and it is verified that the first HV from the LS matches the target first HV from the US. Further verification is from using the public-key to verify the signature of the relevant party.
