Title: Deformable casting rolls
Inventor: PERRY ROBERT
IPC: F16C13/00
Filed: 1998-07-31
Abstract: A casting roll 1 for casting molten metal and forming it into a solid continuous strip form comprises a shell 6 coupled to a drive shaft 91. A plurality of shaper units 8, 12 is arranged inside the shell, to allow the shape of the shell to be adjusted. The drive shaft 91 passes through a stationary support shaft 9 of large diameter and is coupled to the shell 6 via epicyclic gearing 92,93,95. The shaper units act between the inside of the shell and the support shaft, which, being massive, acts as the primary structural element to absorb the reaction forces from the shaper units. A further set of shaper units spaced 180‹ round the shaft may be provided, to enable the shape of the shell to be controlled more accurately.

Title: Communication using prioritized protocol options and protocol conversion
Inventor: SAWYER STEVEN PAUL
IPC: H04M11/06
Filed: 1998-08-03
Abstract: Originating and terminating units 32, 36 communicate through a network containing satellites 46, 50, 52 and gateways 44, 48. The network 22 receives from each unit a prioritized list of usable protocols. The network compares the lists to determine the highest priority common protocol. If a common protocol exists a link is established between the units excluding the gateways and utilising the common protocol. If a common protocol does not exist the network selects the highest priority protocol from each list and establishes a link between the units including a gateway which performs protocol conversion. If the originating unit protocol consumes more resources, the protocol conversion is performed in an originating gateway 44. Otherwise conversion is performed in the terminating gateway 48. Originating and terminating units may be cellular phones or standard PSTN telephones.

Title: Limited slip differential
Inventor: HUGHES RICHARD EDWARD
IPC: F16H48/22
Filed: 1998-08-05
Abstract: A bevel gear limited slip differential has a pinion carrier 18 supporting a pair of planet pinions 32,34 each containing a mating conical insert 78,80. The planet pinions are displaced outward when the carrier 18 is subjected to drive torque to bring them into frictional braking engagement with the carrier. The controlled outward displacement is obtained using an outward component of the rotating carrier drive torque force as it is transmitted to the said planet pinions from their contained conical inserts at the sloping interface between them. An adjustable preload on the pinions is provided by springs 54 and a sleeve assembly 52.

Title: Inductor for a submersible pumping system
Inventor: PEARSON DONALD R
IPC: E21B43/12
Filed: 1999-04-22
Abstract: An inductor assembly is disclosed for protecting electronic circuitry in a downhole equipment string. The inductor assembly 72 includes a plurality of modular inductors 90 coupled to one another in series to provide the desired inductance. The modular inductors are supported by a support structure 88 in a protective housing such as in a common housing with the electronic circuitry. The inductor assembly 72 is electrically isolated from the housing. The support structure includes insulative end members 92, 94 and rail members 96 extending between the end members to which the inductors are secured. One or more insulative covers 100 are provided around the inductors 90 to further isolate the inductors from the housing. The inductor assembly 72 dissipates energy in the event of certain failure modes of power supply circuitry or lines extending from the earth's surface. The inductor may be secured electrically between a neutral node in a Y-wound motor to prevent high voltage ac waveforms from damaging the electronic circuitry. Insulation of the inductors inhibits arcing with the housing, thereby inhibiting damage to the inductors or the electronic circuitry during such failure modes.

Title: Microbiological method for the decomposition of organic wastes
Inventor: KNEER FRANZ XAVER
IPC: C05F17/00
Filed: 1994-01-17
Abstract: The invention concerns a microbiological method for the decomposition of organic wastes, the waste material being subjected to a composting process under aerobic conditions in a closed container to which air is supplied. Air is passed through the waste material at intervals, the spent air being drawn off together with the gaseous decomposition products. The length of the intervals between the air feed periods is controlled as a function of the lowest value of the O2 concentration measured in the spent air. The spent air which collects in the space above the composting material is preferably drawn off at the same time as air is supplied, or shortly afterwards, the O2 concentration being measured at this time. Alternatively, the O2 concentration in the space between the heap of waste and the container end wall or the O2 concentration of the gas in the heap of waste can be monitored.

Title: Dot matrix imaging device with scale conversion
IPC: G03G15/32
Filed: 1980-02-12
Abstract: An image represented as an array of digitally valued picture elements is selectively reduced or expanded in size by addition or subtraction of rows and lines of picture elements at positions which are the closest approximation to the newly scaled base, the picture elements corresponding to grey scale values. Reproducing a given image is scanned by photodetector elements (18). The added lines are duplicative of the next adjacent line. Subsequent lines of picture elements are shifted to close the gaps. A dot generator array (such as ink jet array, cathode ray tube, electrostatic or thermal recording system) responsive to the digital values of the picture elements generates the image in scanning fashion across a copy sheet at a modified scale factor in a single or in successive scans, which may occur at the same location or after transmission of the digitally valued pictured data to a different location.
