Title: Method and device for active noise reduction in a local area
Inventor: PETTERSEN OSS K
IPC: G10K11/178
Filed: 1993-07-09
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/NO93/00114 Sec. 371 Date Mar. 21, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Mar. 21, 1995 PCT Filed Jul. 9, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO94/02935 PCT Pub. Date Feb. 3, 1994A method for active noise reduction based on destructive interference of sound waves in order to reduce the energy in a sound field employs two omnidirectional microphones (M1, M2) provided in connection with a loudspeaker. The acoustic feedback of the microphones is eliminated by a closed loop consisting of the microphones and the loudspeaker. The loudspeaker used is an open loudspeaker with a dipole characteristic, thus causing one of the microphones to be more sensitive to the far field and thereby to the noise which has to be suppressed. The method is implemented by a device which comprises a digital signal processor (DSP) for processing the microphone signals and which transmits an output signal to the loudspeaker where the feedback component from the loudspeaker is substantially eliminated, while the output signal's phase and amplitude are adjusted in such a manner that an effective cancellation of the noise is obtained in an area around the loudspeaker's near field. The DSP can preferably be implemented in the form of software modules on an integrated circuit. With the method and the device an integrated reduction in noise level of almost 20 dB is achieved depending on how the filtering in the DSP is adapted. In practice a quiet zone can be obtained in the loudspeaker's near field with an attenuation band which extends from approximately 100-500 Hz.

Patent AU-5667000-A (AU)
Title: Method and apparatus for increasing the temperature of a fuel cell with polymer electrolyte
Inventor: ROBERTS JOY
IPC: H01M8/04
Filed: 2000-06-27
Abstract: A method and apparatus increase the temperature of a fuel cell via reactant starvation at one or both electrodes. Reactant starvation at an electrode results in an increased overvoltage at the electrode and hence increased internal heat generation under load. Further, starvation techniques may be used to prevent poisoning of electrode catalysts, a potential problem that is aggravated at lower temperatures. Starvation conditions can be prolonged or intermittent and can be obtained, for example, by suitably reducing the supply rate of a reactant or by operating the fuel cell at sufficiently high current density so as to consume reactant faster than it is supplied. The method can allow for some generation of useful power by the fuel cell during start-up. The method is particularly suitable for starting up a solid polymer electrolyte fuel cell from temperatures below 0° C.

Title: Sensor comprising wireless data transfer unit with a low power uptake
Inventor: RAMSEIER STEFAN
IPC: G08C17/02
Filed: 2000-08-30
Abstract: The invention relates to a method in which a communication unit (10) of a sensor (1) receives a wake up signal (w) from a corresponding sensor unit (15) and switches from an energy-saving sleep mode to an active mode. A receiver (13) of the communication unit (10) detects a cyclic modulated synchronization signal from a base station whereby after a pre-defined time, a transmitter (12), sends out a modulated data signal. The receiver (13) waits on the reception of a modulated confirmation signal. If such a signal is received, the communication unit (10) switches to the sleep mode. Otherwise, the modulated data signal in the display window corresponding to the sensor (1) is repeatedly transmitted, until a modulated confirmation signal is received. The method of invention has the advantage that an energy-consuming operational mode of the communication unit (10) is only activated when data has to be transferred. Only after successful transfer of said data, does said unit again revert to the sleep mode.
