Abstract: An electronic reverberation system employs a processor to produce a plurality of delay samples that are added to a direct signal to produce reverberant sound. The disclosed system generates or employs a list of gain value pairs that are produced based on control settings or are provided as fixed coefficients. The processor generates reverberation samples by applying these coefficients to delay samples and summing their amplitudes to produce reverberation waveform samples. The reverberation waveform samples are added to the direct signal.

Title: Patches for locating infusion sites
Inventor: JACOBS MICHAEL W
IPC: A61M25/02
Filed: 1998-05-15
Granted: 2009-06-02
Abstract: This invention relates to an apparatus and method for infusing fluids to and aspirating tissue from an intraosseous site. The apparatus is comprised of an infusion tube coupled to an introducer with a release mechanism that removes the infusion tube once it has penetrated the bone a predetermined depth. As the introducer is withdrawn, the infusion tube remains in the bone. The ball release mechanism and other aspects of the apparatus can be modified to yield different penetration depths. The present invention also relates to a method and apparatus for locating the site of infusion and for relieving strain and stress on the infusion site. The template patch uses a key anatomical feature of the bone as a reference point to a target zone for infusion that is located a predetermined distance away from the feature. The template patch has a tube clamp and a covering that protect the infusion site from external forces.

Abstract: A process and system for producing hydrocarbon compounds or fuels that recycle products of hydrocarbon compound combustion - carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide, or both, and water. The energy for recycling is electricity derived from preferably not fossil based fuels, like from nuclear fuels or from renewable energy. The process comprises electrolysing water, and then using hydrogen to reduce externally supplied carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide, then using so produced carbon monoxide together with any externally supplied carbon monoxide and hydrogen in Fischer-Tropsch reactors, with upstream upgrading to desired specification fuels - for example, gasoline, jet fuel, kerosene, diesel fuel, and others. Energy released in some of these processes is used by other processes. Using adiabatic temperature changes and isothermal pressure changes for gas processing and separation, large amounts of required energy are internally recycled using electric and heat distribution lines. Phase conversion of working fluid is used in heat distribution lines for increased energy efficiency. The resulting use of electric energy is less than 1.4 times the amount of the high heating value of combustion of so produced hydrocarbon compounds when carbon dioxide is converted to carbon monoxide in the invention, and less than 0.84 when carbon monoxide is the source.

Granted: 2015-01-06
Abstract: L'invention concerne un nouveau procédé et un appareil ou système permettant de purifier des solutions ioniques telles que de l'eau en cours de dessalement, au moyen de surfaces chargées modifiées (16) qui retiennent les ions présents dans ces solutions. La charge des surfaces est appliquée de l'extérieur (13), et est synchronisée avec les mouvements oscillatoires du liquide entre des plaques chargées sensiblement parallèles (16). Les ions sont maintenus en place pendant que le liquide se déplace dans une direction (car ils sont détenus dans la double couche électrique) et sont ensuite libérés, par la suppression du champ électrique appliqué, pour pouvoir être transportés lorsque le liquide se déplace dans la direction opposée. De cette manière, les ions, tels que le sel, sont "traînés" à travers la surface chargée depuis le côté de l'alimentation (13) jusqu'au côté du concentré (14). Le procédé de l'invention est très simple et ne nécessite que des pompes (5), des surfaces chargées (16) et des collecteurs pour la collecte du liquide.

Abstract: A permanent magnet machine (PMM) has a kinetic portion (12) electrically coupled to a power conversion portion (14). Motive power is provided to the kinetic portion (12) by a torque applied to a motive shaft coupled to a prime mover, such as an aircraft engine or an automobile engine. A control circuit includes a switch (40) disposed between the kinetic portion (12) and output feeder cables of the power conversion portion. A first sensor (50) is effective to detect a first fault condition in either the feeder cables or the power conversion portion (14) and a second sensor (54) is effective to detect a second fault condition in the kinetic energy portion (12). The first sensor (50) is effective to open the switch (40) when a first fault condition is detected and the second sensor (54) is effective to apply a voltage to a winding (26a, 26b, 26c) within the kinetic portion (12) generating an opposing counter torque on the motive shaft where a combination of torque and counter torque exceeds a fracture yield strength of said motive shaft causing it to fracture. The second fault condition is then rendered safe while the prime mover may continue normal operation. (Drawing Figure 3)
