Title: Method for making drying more effective
Inventor: EKBERG BJARNE
IPC: F26B7/00
Filed: 1999-06-02
Granted: 2009-07-14
Abstract: A method for suction drying of finely divided materials, in which method a filter cake made of a slurry containing liquid and finely divided solids is formed on a substantially planar surface of a filter medium by suction, the filter cake having an inner surface being in contact with an outer surface of the filter medium. The method includes placing the outer surface of the filter cake and planar outer surface of an oscillator in a mechanical contact with each other, so that an acoustic field, having an oscillation frequency is generated throughout the filter cake. The entire outer surface of said oscillator is in substantially continuous contact with said outer surface of said filter cake when said acoustic field is generated, thereby removing residual liquid in the filter cake combined with suction applied to an inner surface of the filter cake.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un stratifié textile (2') de type SMS (filé-lié / fondu-soufflé / filé-lié) ou SS (filé-lié / filé-lié) à zones traitées et qui combine les fonctions de voile supérieur et de bourrelet dans le cas d'un article absorbant. Le traitement du stratifié textile SMS est un traitement par un agent tensio-actif tendant à constituer une ou plusieurs zones hydrophiles (A, B ou C), les zones non traitées du stratifié textile restant hydrophobes de façon à remplir les fonctions de bourrelet. Le traitement du stratifié textile au moyen de l'agent tensio-actif se fait recto-verso avec un applicateur à mousse. L'application de mousse donne des transitions nettes (80) entre les zones hydrophiles et les zones hydrophobes.

Title: A process for production of amino acid hydrochloride and caustic via electrodialysis water splitting
Inventor: MANI KRISHNAMURITY N
IPC: B01D61/58
Filed: 1999-12-15
Granted: 2004-02-17
Abstract: The invention uses a stack of three compartment electrodialysis cells in a process for the production amino acid hydrochloride and an alkali. The electrodialysis cell contains bipolar, cation and anion membranes which are arranged to form acid, base and salt compartments. The process begins with supplying a salt solution to the salt compartment, water to the base compartment, and a liquid comprising an amino acid to the acid compartment. Preferably, the feed salt is sodium chloride or potassium chloride or lithium chloride. A direct current driving force is applied across the cell to convert the salt solution to an alkali in the base compartments and an amino acid hydrochloride in the acid compartment. The acid and alkali solutions and a depleted salt solution are withdrawn from their respective compartments. A chelating agent may be added to the salt solution before it is fed into the electrodialysis cell.

Abstract: Method of detecting obstructions encountered by a motorized door. The method includes providing a signal processor with one or more signals indicative of a predetermined door trajectory profile for at least a segment of a stroke of the door, the door trajectory profile providing an ideal speed and/or position versus an elapsed time since a beginning of the segment of the stroke. A door position signal from a position encoder for the door is received into the signal processor. The method includes generating one or more signals indicative of the velocity and/or position of the door from the door position signal and generating a trajectory discrepancy signal based on the velocity and/or position in relation to the ideal speed and/or position.      A motor control signal is generated based on the trajectory discrepancy signal and the motor control signal is connected to motor control circuits connected to drive the motor for the door. The method further includes performing one or more tests on either the trajectory discrepancy, the velocity of the door or the position of the door to determine whether the door has encountered an obstruction, in which case an obstruction detection signal is generated. The obstruction detection signal is for stopping the door.

Abstract: A casing of a hydraulic machine, such as a gas turbine, is formed as a horizontally split type flangeless casing consisting of an upper and lower casing fastened together by fastening bolts. The fastening bolts have a screw thread, which engages a threaded hole on the joint face of the lower casing. A bolt hole having an internal screw is provided in the upper casing. A sleeve is fitted into the bolt hole by engaging an external screw thread on the sleeve with the internal screw thread of the bolt hole. An enlarged diameter portion is formed on the fastening bolt and abuts an upper end face of the sleeve when the fastening bolt is screwed into the threaded hole in the lower casing. When the fastening bolt is tightened, the shaft tensile force of the bolt generates a fastening force, which presses the upper casing to the lower casing.

Abstract: It is common practice to rotate casing in shallow holes (to approx. 1000m). This has been found to noticeably enhance the bond between the casing and cement and wellbore wall and cement and to decrease the chance of microchannelling along the annulus. The rotating casing assembly and method, as described herein, allows for rotation of the casing at any depth. Only the lower portion is rotated. This lower portion is generally that portion crossing the production zone. This method is extremely economical compared to other methods and requires no additional rig time or surface equipment. The casing is driven to rotate by the energy of the fluid being pumped through the casing and across vanes in the casing.

Granted: 2011-02-08
Abstract: Compositions, formulae, devices and methods for the detection of target microorganisms, such as by visual immunoprecipitate assay, enzyme linked immunoassay, chemiluminescence, immunoblotting, or similar detection technology, wherein detection requires the discrimination among closely related genera, species and strains of antigenically related microorganisms based on immunological reactivity of a highly conserved antigen epitopes with a reagent system comprised of an antibody linked to a detecting reagent. The invention permits a detectable event to occur by exposing inaccessible but highly conserved and specific antigen epitopes to the detecting reagent. Exposure of such antigen epitopes without inactivating microbial metabolism allows for specific detection.

Title: System and method for protection of digital works
Inventor: TA THANH T
IPC: G06F21/10
Filed: 2001-03-23
Granted: 2006-05-30
Abstract: A method of protecting a digital work uses a blind transformation function to transform an encrypted digital work into encrypted presentation data. The originator's digital content is protected in its original form by not being decrypted. This method enables the rendering or replay application to process the encrypted document into encrypted presentation data without decrypting it first. Encrypted presentation data is then decrypted just before it is displayed to the user. The blind transformation function is a function of the original transformation function. For example, the blind transformation function may be a polynomial of the original transformation function.  Alternatively, both the blind transformation function and the original transformation function may be any multivariate, integer coefficient affine function.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical disc authentication method and apparatus. The method, wherein each disc has a plurality of ways and a plurality of sectors in each way, includes the steps of measuring the quantity of sectors in each of a defined quantity of ways to provide a disc fingerprint comprising way sector quantity values for an original disc and a target disc and authenticating the target disc. The step of authenticating the target disc includes the steps of comparing the target disc fingerprint to the original disc fingerprint to determine a percentage of coinciding way sector quantity values and classifying the target disc according to whether its determined percentage value is above or below a pre-defined percentage threshold value, wherein a target disc having a determined percentage value of greater than or equal to the threshold value is classified as an original disc, and a target disc having a determined percentage value of less than the threshold value is classified as an illegally copied disc.
