Title: Device by ice storage for the discharging of ice
Inventor: MIKKELSEN ODD-HARRY
IPC: F25C5/18
Filed: 2000-04-11
Granted: 2007-02-27
Abstract: In an ice storage (10, 12, 14, 16) the aim is to ensure that ice is chipped off that surface of the ice mass in the storage, which stems from the water which froze to ice first. Likewise, efficient discharging of chipped-off ice to external conveyor devices (23) is ensured. This is achieved by means of a particular ice storage floor construction (16) consisting of parallel, elongate, tubular elements (18) placed with intermediate slots. The floor elements (18) carry carriers (20) in the form of strip-like ice-chipping elements, and the tubular floor elements (18) are supported individually rotational and are preferably driven collectively. The ice-chipping elements may alternatively be formed through the cornered cross-sectional shape of the floor elements, which provide distinct, longitudinal edge portions of good chipping and carrying properties.

Abstract: Compositions having antimicrobial activity against a variety of microorganisms, including vegetative bacteria, bacte-rial spores, fungi, and fungal spores are particularly useful for microbiocidal treatments of a variety of substances. More specifically, compositions have antibmicrobial activity against microorganisms of the Bacillus cereus group such as Bacillus cereus, Bacillus mycoides, Bacillus anthracis, and Bacillus thuringiensis are particularly useful. Compositions including hydrogen peroxide, a car-boxylic acid, and a peroxycarboxylic acid in which the weight ratio of the preroxycarboxylic acid to the hydrogen peroxide is at least 4:1 are effective against microorganims, particularly bacterial spores. Such compositions include a reduced amount of hydro-gen peroxide relative to the amount of peroxycarboxylic acid as compared to conventional compositions. Compositions can also inlclude a quaternary ammonium compound, a stabilizing agent, a surfactant, a hydrotrope, or other additives. Methods of using a composition including hydrogen peroxide, a carboxylic acid, and a peroxycarboxylic acid in which the ratio of the peroxycarboxylic acid to the hydrogen peroxide is at least 4:1 are useful for reducing the microbial numbers on a variety of substances contaminated by microorganisms, particularly of the Bacillus cereusgroup. Such substances include foodstuffs, water, general-premise surfaces, specific-equipment surfaces, animal carcasses, soil, and textiles.

Abstract: A three-axis algebraic model is used to numerically compensate for magnetic errors in measured magnetic field values in an electronic compass for any orientation of the compass. This model is based on physical principles and uses a linear algebra approach that facilitates computation of the parameters needed for compensation. During a calibration procedure of the electronic compass, magnetic and gravity fields are measured in three axes at each of a variety of combinations of orientations and azimuths. This set of measured magnetic and gravity fields is used to calculate a matrix compensation coefficient and a vector compensation coefficient using a system of equations.  These compensation coefficients are stored and then used during normal operations of the electronic compass to correct all subsequently measured magnetometer data to obtain corrected values for the Earth's magnetic field, from which the correct azimuth can be calculated.

Title: Ribless bit with diamond impregnated cutter elements
Inventor: BEATON TIMOTHY P
IPC: E21B10/54
Filed: 2003-12-23
Granted: 2009-05-12
Abstract: The present invention provides a bit with cutting structures or inserts that include diamond particles, in which the diamond-impregnated inserts are surrounded by substantially diamond-free support members. The diamond-impregnated inserts are manufactured separately from the bit body. Once formed, the diamond-impregnated inserts are affixed to the substantially diamond-free support members on bit body by brazing or other means of attachment. The total thermal exposure of the diamond particles during manufacture in accordance with the present invention is significantly lower than the total manufacturing-related thermal exposure in previously known diamond-impregnated cutting structures. Furthermore, the substantially diamond-free support members allow the bit to continue cutting through a formation without an increased contact area, as experienced by bits with diamond-impregnated ribs. Thus, the operating life of the cutting structures., and therefore the life of the bit itself, is increased.

Abstract: Dans un système de reproduction de données, on effectue une synchronisation de copies de données à voies multiples au niveau de différents dispositifs par utilisation d'un modèle de données non destructeur. Dans ce modèle, chaque objet de donnée reproduite est représenté par un diagramme de révision, et chaque opération exécutée sur un objet de donnée, par exemple, une révision de contenu de données ou une suppression de l'objet, est représentée par adjonction d'un noeud au diagramme de révision au niveau du dispositif où la modification a été effectuée. On effectue une synchronisation entre des dispositifs multiples par application d'un opérateur de réunion de diagrammes. Du fait que cet opérateur de réunion est commutatif et associatif, on évite les restrictions normalement associées à l'ordre dans lequel les mises à jour sont effectuées. Un mécanisme d'application de synchronisation limite les situations dans lesquelles les noeuds d'un diagramme peuvent être supprimés, ce qui assure l'intégrité des données pendant leur cycle de vie utile.
