Granted: 2008-07-29
Abstract: A computer based training tool and method that emulates human behavior using a computer-simulated person in a realistic scenario. It provides an interactive experience in detecting deception during interviews and acceptance of statements during interpersonal conversations. The simulated person provides verbal responses in combination with an animated video display reflecting the body language of the simulated person in response to questions asked and during and after responses to the questions. The questions and responses are pre-programmed and interrelated groups of questions and responses are maintained in dynamic tables which are constantly adjusted as a function of questions asked and responses generated. The system provides a critique and numerical score for each training session.

Title: Method and system for extinguishing fire in an enclosed space
Inventor: KALLERGIS KONSTANTIN
IPC: A62C3/08
Filed: 2001-09-18
Granted: 2008-03-25
Abstract: A system for suppressing fire in an enclosed space, e.g. an aircraft cabin or freight compartment, includes nitrogen tanks and/or generators to rapidly supply a limited quantity of nitro- gen with a high flow rate, and a membrane system to supply an essentially unlimited quantity of nitrogen at a lower supply rate for a long duration. The membrane system includes a selectively permeable membrane that separates nitrogen gas from ambient environmental air that is supplied into the membrane system. Once a fire is detected, nitrogen is supplied from the nitrogen gas tanks and/or generators at a high rate to rapidly increase the nitrogen concentration and establish a reduced oxygen concen- tration (e.g. 12 vol.%) in the enclosed space. Then, nitrogen is supplied from the membrane system at a reduced rate for a long duration to maintain the reduced oxygen concentration in the enclosed space until the fire is extinguished by oxygen starva- tion.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a communication management table transfer system including plural encryptors mutually connected through the Internet and a manager which manages the communication management table used for the communication among the plural encryptors. The invention aims to improve security and performance of the communication.      On receiving a communication management table version from an encryptor 11 (S301), a manager 36 compares the received communication management table version with the communication management table version stored in a communication management table version memory 2005 of the manager side by using a communication management table checker 2006. The manager 36 transfers the communication management table to the encryptor 11 only when the mismatch is found (S104).

Granted: 2007-01-09
Abstract: Electromagnetic wave source detecting analyzing apparatus and method that can detect and/or analyze a source of (electromagnetic disturbing wave) representing a main factor in generating an electromagnetic field remotely of the apparatus in order to suppress the electromagnetic field intensity at the remote distance from the apparatus to below a regulated value. A magnetic field near an object is measured by a set of probes. A position of an electromagnetic wave source is detected using a phase difference between the two probes. A current distribution on the measured object is determined by solving simultaneous equations containing the position information and magnitudes of measured magnetic fields.      An electromagnetic field at a remote distance from the apparatus is determined from the current distribution to identify the source of the electromagnetic field.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un accouplement (10) servant à relier un arbre d'entraînement (12) à un élément mené (14) et à autoriser un défaut d'alignement sensible entre l'arbre d'entraînement et l'élément mené, tout en réduisant au minimum le bruit audible et les vibrations. Cet accouplement comprend un élément d'emboîtement central creux (18) dans une extrémité duquel sont ménagées plusieurs fentes, deux éléments de corps allongés sensiblement identiques (16, 20) et plusieurs éléments à effet de ressort (38). Chaque élément de corps allongé possède deux extrémités, une première extrémité étant conçue pour s'accoupler soit avec l'arbre d'entraînement soit avec l'élément mené et la seconde extrémité comportant plusieurs montants (33) qui s'engagent dans les fentes de l'emboîtement central creux. Une ouverture ménagée dans l'emboîtement central creux présente une dimension supérieure au diamètre des corps allongés, ce qui permet aux différents éléments de se déplacer radialement les uns par rapport aux autres, pour autoriser tout désaxage et tout défaut d'alignement entre les axes longitudinaux de l'arbre d'entraînement et de l'élément mené, alors que les éléments à effet de ressort assurent aux différents éléments une mise en contact positive l'un avec l'autre, pour réduire le bruit audible qui serait autrement produit par un ajustement lâche de ces composants. Dans un mode de réalisation, un élément à effet de ressort (46) est formé solidaire dans les fentes de l'emboîtement central creux (18'), pour que les montants (22a, 24a) des éléments de corps soient maintenus en prise avec les côtés des fentes (52) par ces éléments à effet de ressort. Ce mode de réalisation utilise un capuchon terminal (40) qui empêche les montants de se dégager des fentes. Un autre mode de réalisation utilise des ressorts à boudins hélicoïdaux (38) montés à l'extérieur autour de l'emboîtement central creux.

Title: Process for refining silver bullion with gold separation
Inventor: BROUWER SYBOLT
IPC: C22B3/20
Filed: 2001-01-17
Granted: 2009-11-03
Abstract: The present invention concerns a process for refining silver bullion, i.e. raw silver containing generally more than 90% silver besides Se, Pb, Au, Cu and platinum group metals (PGM) as main impurities. The process comprises the steps of: optionally removing Se as gaseous SeO2 from the molten metallic phase by injecting air, which is preferably O2 enriched, into the metallic phase at a preferred bath temperature of 1000- 1100.degree.C; optionally slagging off the Pb by contacting the molten metallic phase with a silica and borax based flux at a preferred bath temperature of 1000-1150.degree.C; granulating the molten metallic phase in water, thereby forming Ag rich granules; leaching the Ag rich granules with HNO3 at a temperature above 50.degree.C, preferably in an O2 enriched atmosphere, followed by filtration, thereby separating an Au bearing residue from an Ag rich liquor; heating the Ag rich liquor, thereby evaporating H2O and forming an AgNO3 bearing melt; maintaining the AgNO3 bearing melt at a temperature of 300-350.degree.C for at least 15 minutes, thereby forming a mixture of a purified AgNO3 and of a denitration residue containing essentially all the PGM as oxides; separating the purified AgNO3 from the denitration residue. By this process, the many drawbacks of the classicalelectrolytic refining of silver are avoided.
