Abstract: The present invention relates to an on-line method and a flow system as well as a cuvette for carrying out IR spectrometry for analysis of liquid food products, possibly containing dissolved gases, in a process line in a liquid food product processing plant, especially a dairy processing milk and milk products. A liquid sample is extracted from the process line to a measuring branch, the sample is thermostated and passed to a measurement cuvette. The IR-absorbance spectrum is measured, e.g, in the MID-IR or NIR-range. In order to obtain an on-line monitoring of the process line the liquid food sample is extracted directly from the process line into the measurement branch, in which the pressure is maintained at least as high as in the adjacent process line. The high pressure ensures that dissolved air will stay dissolved in the liquid food. Before each new sample the measurement branch and cuvette are flushed by high flow rates with a part of the new sample to clean the cuvette. The measurement cuvette has strong windows, preferably diamond windows to stand a high pressure and high flow rates. The on-line system is arranged to carry out e.g. 120 measurements per hour.

Title: Fault-resilient automobile control system
Inventor: WONG WILLIAM S
IPC: B60W50/029
Filed: 1997-12-10
Granted: 2008-06-03
Abstract: A fault-resilient automobile control system integrates diverse and separate automobile components and provides fault-tolerance to component failure. The automobile control system includes a master control unit (MCU) electrically coupled via a primary data communications bus to the electronic automobile components. The MCU is master of the bus and manages data flow over the bus among the electronic automobile components. The MCU can be configured with a routing table to route data monitored in one component to one or more other components. The MCU is also capable of performing the same functions as those performed by local controllers at the eletronic components. During initialization, driver software for all of the local controllers is downloaded and stored at the MCU. In the event that a local controller fails, the MCU executes the driver software for the failed controller to remotely control the electronic automobile component in place of the failed local controller. Switching logic is installed at each of the electronic components to selectively route data to the primary bus, circumventing the failed controller. The automobile control system has a secondary control unit (SCU) electrically coupled to the MCCI via the primary bus. The SCU is a standalone computer that supports clients and other devices on a secondary support bus.  The SCU is also configured to backup the MCU. During normal operation, the SCU  is subordinate to and controlled by the MCU on the primary bus. In the event that the MCU fails, however, the SCU assumes control of the data communications network and manages the data flow among the electronic automobile components.

Abstract: The centrifugal liquid pump (1) is of the rotary discs types and has an integrated gas injector of very simple yet efficient structure. This pump (1) has a casing (3) defining an inner, substantially cylindrical chamber (5) with an axial liquid inlet (11) and a tangential liquid outlet (13). A rotary impeller (15) is rotatably mounted within the chamber (5). This impeller (15) has first and second spaced apart discs (17, 19) which are rigidly interconnected at such a distance away from each other as to extend close to the opposite walls of the chamber (5). The first disc (17) that extends close to the wall (7) into which the liquid inlet (11) opens has a central opening (21) of the same diameter as the liquid inlet (11) to allow the liquid injected through the inlet to enter within the chamber in between the discs.  The second disc (19) has a plurality of spaced apart openings (39) located at a constant radius, which is inferior to the radius of the discs. A coaxial power shaft (25) is connected to the impeller (15) so as to rotate it in a given direction. This shaft (25) extends out of the chamber (5) in a direction opposite to the liquid inlet (11). A gas feed pipe (31) is in open communication with one chamber (5). This gas feed pipe (31) is connected to a hole (35) made in the casing (3). This hole (35) is located in the second opposite wall of the chamber at a radial distance substantially equal to the above mentioned constant radius. In use, the pressurized gas fed through the hole (35) made in second opposite wall of the casing passes through the openings (39) made in the second disc (19) and enters into the chamber (5).  The gas is then dissolved in the liquid while the same moves between the discs (17, 19) toward the outlet (13) of the pump (1).

Abstract: Dans un appareil et un procédé permettant de produire des rayonnements laser haute puissance, la géométrie de la cavité résonnante du laser définit un mode de cavité spatial ou transversal fondamental. Un milieu amplificateur est disposé à l'intérieur de la cavité résonnante et une source d'énergie active le milieu amplificateur dans un premier volume, ce qui entraîne la propagation de l'émission d'énergie spontanée et stimulée à travers le milieu amplificateur dans le sens transversal par rapport au mode de cavité fondamental. A son tour, l'émission transversale fait un pompage optique un second volume du milieu amplificateur entourant le premier volume. Lorsque l'intensité de l'émission est suffisamment élevée, l'inversion et l'amplification se produisent dans le second volume. En optimisant la géométrie de la cavité de manière que le mode de cavité fondamental soit couplé à la fois au premier et au second volume englobant le premier volume "pompé", l'énergie orientée transversalement du premier volume qui serait perdue en temps normal est ainsi reprise par le faisceau fondamental, ce qui améliore la puissance d'ensemble du laser. Lorsque le laser haute puissance de l'invention est configuré en une cavité externe, il est particulièrement apte à la conversion en fréquence du faisceau de sortie, étant donné que les intensités de faisceau qu'il produit se prêtent efficacement à la conversion non linéaire en fréquence.

Abstract: A blockage monitor for detecting a blockage in flow of particles such as seeds through a duct such as the seed duct of a seeder includes a sensor body for mounting on a wall of the seed duct and defining a front face flush with the duct surface carrying both an LED light source for projecting light into the interior of the duct and a phototransistor arranged to produce an output signal proportional to the intensity of reflected light received which increases as a seed passes. The sensor has a monitoring circuit including a logarithmic load, an operational amplifier and a comparator responsive to the output signal to generate a series of pulses representative of the passage of any particles. A separate blockage module counts the output and uses an algorithm for comparing the count with a calibration count to determine whether there is a blockage of the duct sufficient to interfere with the flow of particles and to generate a warning signal in the event that a blockage is detected. The blockage module is multiplexed with a plurality of spaced sensors and a power voltage is supplied to each sensor using two wires only with the pulses communicated along the same two wires. The blockage module is arranged to effect a test of the sensor by communicating to the sensor a pulse in the power voltage so as to generate a corresponding but delayed pulse in the light from the light source and the monitoring circuit generates the current pulse such that the current pulse is detectable by the blockage module separately from the pulse in the power voltage. Ground speed and rate application are communicated to the blockage module to use in the algorithm.
