Patent AU-2007214125-A1 (AU)
Title: A liquid treatment apparatus
Inventor: LAURSEN MICHAEL
IPC: B01D61/06
Filed: 2007-02-08
Abstract: The invention provides a liquid treatment apparatus such as a reverse osmosis apparatus wherein a portion of an inlet liquid permeates through a filter or a membrane e.g. to provide freshwater from saltwater. The apparatus comprises a pump which provides the necessary pressure of the liquid to drive the permeation process, and a recovery unit which transfers pressure of a residue quid to the inlet liquid. The pump and the recovery unit are driven at synchronous and variable speed to control the output and thereby e.g. to adjust for fouling of the filter or membrane. The invention further provides methods of controlling the synchronous speed, e.g. based on a pressure or based on the consumption of the produced liquid.
Patent AU-2007270890-A1 (AU)
Title: Antenna arrangement
Inventor: PHILIPPAKIS MICHAEL
IPC: H01Q9/14
Filed: 2007-07-06
Abstract: An antenna arrangement for use in an ultra-wideband network comprises a plurality of active monopoles. Each monopole is oriented substantially perpendicular to a ground plane, and arranged in a row along a transmission axis. Each monopole has an active portion for emitting radio signals and switch means for selectively changing the length of the active portion. Control means are provided for controlling the plurality of switch means such that, in a first configuration, the lengths of the active portion of the monopoles increase from a first end of the row towards the opposite end of the row, thereby causing radio signals to be emitted by the antenna arrangement substantially in a first direction along the transmission axis from the opposite end of the row towards the first end of the row. In a second configuration, the lengths of the active portion of the monopoles increase from the opposite end of the row towards the first end of the row, thereby causing radio signals to be emitted by the antenna arrangement substantially along the transmission axis in a direction opposite to the first direction.

Title: Method for combining pressure and motion seismic signals from streamers where sensors are not at a common depth
Inventor: TABTI HOCINE
IPC: G01V1/38
Filed: 2009-09-10
Abstract: A method for using signals measured by pressure responsive seismic sensors and motion responsive seismic sensors disposed in a seismic cable includes simulating a selected range frequency response of the motion responsive sensor signals for each of a plurality of selected depths in a body of water. For each sensor position along the streamer, the one of the simulated selected frequency range responses is selected for which the selected depth most closely matches an actual sensor depth. The selected simulated selected range frequency responses are combined with the measured motion responsive sensor signals to produce full bandwidth motion responsive signals. The full bandwidth signals are combined with the pressure responsive signals to determine at least one of an upgoing and downgoing pressure or motion wavefield.

Title: Valve assembly
Inventor: JAMES CALDWELL NIALL
IPC: F16K47/08
Filed: 2009-12-22
Abstract: A valve assembly for regulating the flow of fluid between a working chamber of a fluid-working machine and a fluid manifold. The valve assembly comprising a valve body comprising a valve seat, a fluid passage extending through the valve body, and a travelling member comprising a valve member and operable between an open position in which the valve member is spaced apart from the valve seat and fluid can flow through the fluid passage and a closed position in which the valve member is in sealing contact with the valve seat preventing fluid from flowing through the fluid passage. The valve assembly further defines a fluid flow path passing in a first fluid flow mode, between the valve member and the valve seat, and into the fluid passage. The valve assembly is characterised by a barrier upstream of the valve member, to the barrier reduces one or more forces which would otherwise act on the valve member as a result of the flow of fluid to urge the valve member towards the valve seat. Thus, one or more forces which would otherwise act on the valve member to urge the valve member to the closed position due to the flow of fluid past the valve member in the first fluid flow mode are reduced or removed. There is also disclosed a valve assembly in which fluid flowing along the said fluid flow path is incident on the downstream surface of the valve member at an angle of at least 80° to the direction in which the valve member is operable to travel between the open position and the closed position.
