Patent AU-638000-B2 (AU)
Title: A process for distillation of crude isocyanate concentrates
IPC: C07C265/14
Filed: 1990-02-21
Granted: 1993-06-17
Abstract: A process is described for the separation and recovery of isocyanate monomers from isocyanate concentrates which leaves a residue which is liquid and burnable. The process for the separation and recovery of isocyanate monomers from isocyanate concentrates formed in the production of isocyanates and comprising a volatile isocyanate monomer and by-products comprises the steps of: (A) preparing a mixture comprising (A-1) the isocyanate concentrate; and (A-2) an oil solution comprising; (A-2-a) a major amount of hydrocarbon oil, and (A-2-b) a minor amount of at least one ashless dispersant; and (B) heating the mixture to an elevated temperature at reduced pressure whereby isocyanate monomer is distilled and recovered leaving a liquid residue. The presence of the oil solution in the mixture facilitates the distillation of the isocyanate concentrate, generally improves the yield of distilled isocyanate monomer, results in a residue which is liquid and easily removed from the distillation apparatus, and the liquid residue can generally be burned without difficulty.

Title: High activity metallocene polymerization process
Inventor: MUHLE MICHAEL E
IPC: C08F10/02
Filed: 1997-12-18
Granted: 2000-09-07
Abstract: The disclosed invention relates to a polymerization process comprising contacting ethylene, and optionally, one or more olefinically unsaturated comonomers, with an active supported Group 3, 4, 5, or 6 metallocene catalyst system having an unsubstituted or substituted fused-ring cyclopentadienyl ligand, preferably indenyl or fluorenyl, and a substituted or unsubstituted cyclopentadienyl ligand under gas-phase or slurry polymerization conditions. The process is suitable for the production of high-density polyethylene homopolymers and copolymers. The benefits to industrial practice are both the ease of preparation and low-cost of the precursor metallocene compound and the commercially feasible polymerization activity levels in stable, low fouling level reactor conditions surprisingly associated with it. Additionally, the polymers made under the invention process conditions have narrow molecular weight distributions, low MI, and low values for MIR.

Inventor: LUNDBY STEIN A
IPC: H04B7/005
Filed: 2000-06-28
Granted: 2004-07-15
Abstract: The present invention is a novel and improved method and apparatus for control transmission energy. The present invention describes a closed loop power control system that operates in conjunction with a transmitter using orthogonal transmit diversity. In a first embodiment of the present invention, the receiver evaluates the signal to noise ratio (SNR) of the two components of the signal. A weighted sum of these two components emphasizing the weaker of the two signals is generated and used in the generation of the power control commands. In a second embodiment of the present invention, the SNR of the two component signals are calculated and two separate power control commands are generated based on a corresponding one of the calculated SNR values.

Title: Method and circuitry for controlling voice mail, call logging and call blocking functions using a modem
Inventor: SUWANDHAPUTRA JOHANNES H
IPC: H04M3/36
Filed: 1994-10-19
Granted: 1997-07-03
Abstract: A telephone line monitoring circuit for a MODEM monitors the TIP and RING lines of the telephone line. A first circuit of the monitoring circuit detects when a local phone goes off-hook while the MODEM is on-hook by sensing a decrease in a differential voltage between the TIP and RING lines. A second circuit detects the pick up of a local phone while the MODEM is off-hook by detecting a change in the impedance between the TIP and RING lines. A third circuit detects the hang up of a remote phone connected with the MODEM while the MODEM is off-hook by detecting a temporary break in the DC loop between the central office and MODEM. A snoop circuit monitors the telephone line for DTMF signals while the MODEM is on-hook. The snoop circuit becomes AC coupled to the telephone line when enabled, and does not apply a significant load to the telephone line. The monitoring circuit permits a processor to control a variety of call-related functions, including the recording of incoming voice mail messages, the logging of incoming and outgoing calls, and the blocking of outgoing calls to specified telephone numbers.

Title: Antiskid brake control for dual circuit - with modulation control by mechanically linked pistons to provide isolation upon failure
IPC: B60T13/12
Filed: 1970-09-17
Abstract: The hydraulic, dual circuit brakes are fitted with an anti-skid control in which the output from the master brake cylinder is separated from the wheel brakes, and in which the wheel brakes have their effective volumes increased by modulation valves to reduce the brake pressure. For a simplified control, with a fail-safe operation and economic design, each circuit is linked to a control bore, with the bores in a parallel setting. The modulation pistons are linked by a common mechanical link operated by a single control system. If one circuit fails then it remains isolated from the other one, with no effect on the modulation control.

Title: Liq. or gas line cut=off valve - has damping effect produced by piston controlled mechanism between control chamber and cut=off
IPC: F16K47/02
Filed: 1971-08-04
Abstract: The safety cut-off valve is used on conduits carrying fluids or gases, and has an auxiliary fitment acting on its closure part. The closure part responds to a pressure drop in the flow medium. The auxiliary fitment is controllable depending upon the volume of a part quantity of flow medium passing through the valve. This is done by the medium passing via a branch channel into a control chamber and acting on a membrane which divides the chamber into an intermediary chamber and a pressure chamber. Between the control chamber and the cut-off unit a piston controlled mechanism has a damping effect on the closure process.
