Title: Magnetic assembly for magnetically actuated control devices
Inventor: EDMONSON MAHLON WILLIAM JR
IPC: H01H9/00
Filed: 2004-03-11
Granted: 2009-12-29
Abstract: A magnetically actuated apparatus, which enlarges, extends and makes continuous magnetic fields used by magnetically controlled devices, such as a magnetic reed switch for use in physical security monitoring systems is shown.  Apparatus includes a sensor (88) and a magnetic actuator (90, 92) for use with a movable closure member. The sensor is mounted into to a fixed support member (148) that is arranged for displacement relative to a second movable support member (146). The sensor has a pair of contacts that are connectable to an electronic circuit. The contacts form a switch that is actuated by the magnetic actuator. The magnetic actuator comprises a unique elongated magnet with specific polarity or a plurality of aligned, alike permanent magnets that are mountable to the second support member. The aligned magnets (90, 92) have like magnetic fields that align one another and combine to form an effective magnetic actuation field that has a given magnitude and a given direction that is greater that the magnitude and direction than any one of the magnets. The elongated magnet has a specific pole for a given distance as its controlling means. The effective magnetic actuation field increases the distance in which the movable support member is displaceable relative to the fixed support member without changing the electric condition of the sensor. The present invention creates a magnetic apparatus, having a wider and controllable gap and break point distance not found in the present art.

Title: Improved olefin plant recovery system employing a combination of catalytic distillation and fixed bed catalytic steps
Inventor: GARTSIDE ROBERT J
IPC: C10G7/00
Filed: 2004-01-20
Granted: 2011-08-30
Abstract: Presented is an improvement to a previous invention involving the catalytic hydrogenation of the C2 to C5 and heavier acetylenes and dienes in a thermally cracked feed stream without significantly hydrogenating the C2 and C3 olefins.  The improvement involves the use of a fixed bed hydrogenation reactor system in combination with a modified version of the catalytic distillation unit used in the prior art. The modification to the catalytic distillation unit involves improvement of the liquid recycle scheme. The fixed bed reactors combined with the modified catalytic distillation allows for 100% conversion of acetylene and helps to maintain high conversion of the other dienes and acetylenes with no ethylene or propylene conversion under a variety of conditions. These condition variations include but are not limited to the feed diene and acetylene composition, the mol% carbon monoxide in the feed, and catalyst deactivation. With catalytic distillation alone, complete conversion of the acetylene as stated above can not be achieved without ethylene loss, nor would satisfactory operation and control be possible under the variety of conditions experienced during a commercial operation.

Abstract: A data interface for transferring digital data between a host and a client over a communication path using packet structures linked together to form a communication protocol for communicating a pre-selected set of digital control and presentation data. The signal protocol is used by link controllers configured to generate, transmit, and receive packets forming the communications protocol, and to form digital data into one or more types of data packets, with at least one residing in the host device and being coupled to the client through the communications path. The interface provides a cost-effective, low power, bi-directional, high-speed data transfer mechanism over a short-range "serial" type data link, which lends itself to implementation with miniature connectors and thin flexible cables which are especially useful in connecting display elements such as wearable micro-displays to portable computers and wireless communication devices.

Title: Representing and reconstructing high dynamic range images
Inventor: WARD GREGORY JOHN
IPC: G06T5/50
Filed: 2006-12-06
Granted: 2014-08-19
Abstract: A high dynamic range image can be recovered from a full-resolution lower--dynamic-range image and a reduced-resolution higher-dynamic-range image. Information regarding higher spatial frequencies may be obtained by extracting high spatial frequencies from the lower-dynamic-range image. In some embodiments an approximate impulse-response function is determined by comparing the higher- and lower-dynamic range images. A scaling image obtained by applying the impulse-response function to a high-frequency band of the lower-dynamic range image is combined with an upsampled higher-dynamic range image to yield a reconstructed image.
