Title: Fault current limiter
Inventor: JEREMY PETER HALL
IPC: H02H9/02
Filed: 2012-08-30
Abstract: A fault current limiter comprising a plurality of permanent magnets 2 sandwiched between first and second magnetic ring cores 1a and 1b wherein adjacent permanent magnets are in contact with one another and the magnetic moments of the permanent magnets (indicated by arrows) are in opposing directions and wherein there is an AC coil wound around the first and second magnetic ring cores. In this way, the direction of an AC flux along the cores is orthogonal to the permanent magnets. Under normal operating conditions, the magnetic field provided by the permanent magnet arrangement saturates the core pair while under fault conditions the saturation is overcome which increases the net relative permeability of the core pair. This leads to an increase in the inductance of the AC coil which prevents or limits the passage of a fault current through the AC coil.

IPC: G06F9/50
Filed: 2017-07-28
Abstract: A data processing system has several nodes 1000 and a coordinating device 1300. Each node has general purpose processors and graphics processors. Data analysis task routines 1211 are generated for the central processing unit (CPU) of the nodes, assigned to the nodes and executed in parallel. If a node has a graphics processor (GPU) available to perform a task assigned to the node, the task is analysed 1441 to determine if it can be performed on the graphics processor. If the all the instructions in the task can be executed by the graphics processor and there are no dependencies between inputs and outputs of the task, then the task is compiled for the graphics processor 1444. A partition of the data set to be analysed 1131 is assigned to the graphics processor and the graphics processor 1650 executes the translated task to analyse the data set partition.

Filed: 2017-11-11
Abstract: Electrical properties of objects are examined using electric fields 404. An object 205 is arranged on an apparatus 101 having a first electrode 201 and a second electrode 202. During a first stage of a cycle, the first electrode 201 is energised and the second electrode 202 is monitored. During a second stage of the cycle, the second electrode 202 is energised and the first electrode 201 is monitored. Because each electrode can be excited or monitored, the direction of the electric field can be reversed (Fig. 5). A processor-controlled multiplexer and demultiplexer can be used to mux input voltage pulses to the electrodes and to demux output signals from the electrodes. The electrodes may form elongate parallel tracks (Fig. 2) or may be placed in an orthogonal configuration (Fig. 16).
