Patent AU-4897399-A (AU)
Title: Multi-point probe
Inventor: PETERSEN CHRISTIAN LETH
IPC: G01R31/26
Filed: 1999-07-08
Abstract: A multi-point electrical probe for testing location-specific electrical properties on circuit boards. Four generally parallel, electrically conducting probe arms are produced preferably by wafer-based techniques, although any even number of probe arms between two and 64 may be used. The precision of wafer-based manufacturing techniques permits miniaturization beyond that which is conventionally obtained by assembling discrete components. The probe arms are generally flexible, and may be shaped suitably to accommodate a particular circuit geometry. The probe and/or the sample under test may be precisely located by suitable translation and/or rotation stages, which may optionally be placed under computer control. A suitable wiring diagram is provided, and preferable manufacturing techniques are discussed. In addition, the conducting probe arms benefit from active guarding, which reduces leakage resistance and increases the measuring accuracy of the probe, by the inclusion of electrically-isolated conducting regions located between the probe arms.

Patent AU-4945990-A (AU)
Title: Process and apparatus
Inventor: HARRISON GEORGE EDWIN
IPC: B01D3/18
Filed: 1990-01-16
Abstract: Esterification is carried out in a column reactor (14) in which there is a plurality of esterification trays (15) each having predetermined liquid hold-up and containing a charge of a solid esterification catalyst thereon. e.g. an ion exchange resin containing a -SO3H and/or -COOH groups. A liquid phase containing the carboxylic acid component, e.g. a fatty acid mixture, flows down the column reactor from one esterification tray to the next downward one against an upflowing alcohol vapour stream, e.g. methanol vapour. Relatively dry alcohol vapour is injected (21) into the bottom of the column reactor. Water of esterification is removed from the top of the column reactor in the vapour stream (26), whilst ester product is recovered (23) from the sump of the reactor. As the liquid flows down the trays it encounters progressively drier alocohol and the esterification equilibrium reaction is driven further and further towards 100% ester formation. A polishing reactor (304) operated under liquid phase conditions may follow the column reactor, the ester-containing product from which is mixed with further alcohol before admission to the polishing reactor.

Title: Method and apparatus for removing oil from water including monitoring of adsorbent saturation
Inventor: SMITH JEFFREY J
IPC: C02F1/40
Filed: 2000-06-07
Abstract: Apparatus in fluid communication with a water leg portion of a hydrocarbon-contaminated water, e.g., a water leg portion of an offshore drilling or production platform sump tank for conveying water, separated from oil, into contact with organophilic clay cannisters such that the hydrocarbons and other organic materials commingled with the sump tank water will be adsorbed onto the organophilic clay and detected by the embedded probe in selected cannisters. The water will pass through the clay and will be conveyed back to the ocean water without contamination. At some point in time, the organophilic clay will become "spent" and at a certain "spent level", the saturated condition of the organoclay will be electronically detected by the embedded probe and alarm/control panel. The alarm indicates that the "spent" organophilic clay should be replaced with fresh clay or the spent clay regenerated.
