Title: Scale assembly for optical encoder having affixed optical reference markers
Inventor: MITCHELL DONALD K
IPC: G01D5/347
Filed: 2006-11-09
Abstract: A flexible optical marker is applied to an optical scale substrate to make an optical scale assembly for an optical position encoder. The marker may be a limit marker, index marker, or other type of marker. The marker substrate may be a plastic film such as polyester, singulated from a "recombine" roll created by a web process. The marker has a microstructured pattern on one surface that is covered with a reflective metal coating. The marker also has an adhesive layer and is affixed to the optical scale substrate by a process of aligning the marker to an edge of the scale and then applying pressure to the upper surface of the marker. The marker may be applied with a handle portion that is separated from the marker after the marker is affixed. The marker may be especially useful with a flexible scale substrate such as a metal tape substrate. By affixing the marker to the scale substrate as a separate step of making an encoder scale, various benefits such as reduced inventory, cost, and lead time may be achieved.

Patent GB-2447184-A (GB)
Title: Memory management in event recording system
Inventor: PLANTE JAMES
IPC: G07C5/08
Filed: 2006-12-07
Abstract: A vehicle event recorder is provided that includes a camera for capturing a video as discrete image frames, and that further includes a managed loop memory and a management system for generating a virtual 'timeline dilation' effect. To overcome size limits in the buffer memory of the video event recorder, the maximum time extension of a video series is increased by enabling a reduction in temporal resolution in exchange for an increase on the temporal extension. Memory cells are overwritten in an 'interleaved' fashion to produce a reduced frame rate for the recording of certain time periods connected to an event moment. In time periods furthest from the event movement, the resulting frame rate is minimized while in time periods closed to the event moment, the resulting frame rate is maximized.

Title: Lockable handled citrus juicers
Inventor: WADE ADAM
IPC: A47J19/02
Filed: 2009-11-19
Abstract: The invention relates to electric powered citrus juicers. Typically such juicers are fitted with an arm that carries a hollow pressing member which is intended to be lowered, by pivoting the arm, so as to press a half-fruit onto the reamer, and it is usual for the arm to return to its fully raised position after use. Accordingly, the arm is spring-urged towards its raised position and tends to adopt the raised position during storage and transit. The invention provides a latching means 53 within a hollow section of the juicer to latch the arm 20 in a lowered position, thus allowing the juicer to be stored and moved around with the arm latched down, thereby making the juicer more compact and easier to handle. It is particularly preferred that the arm is further provided with a damping device to control upward movement of the arm when it is released from the latching means.

Title: Method and apparatus in positioning without broadcast ephemeris
Inventor: HAN SHAOWEI
IPC: G01S19/25
Filed: 2008-04-25
Abstract: Provided herein are methods and system for enabling a navigation receiver to generate receiver specific satellite orbital models based on relatively small sets of parameters obtained from a server. In an embodiment, a set of parameters for a satellite includes a force parameter (e.g., solar radiation pressure), initial condition parameters (e.g., satellite position and velocity at a time instance) and time correction coefficients, which the receiver uses in a numerical integration to predict the position of the satellite. The set of parameters needed for the integration is small compared to current methods which require transmission of a complete set of ephemeris and other parameters for each satellite. Since the set of parameters is relatively small, it requires less communication resources to transmit compared to current methods. Further, the integration based on the small set of parameters enables the receiver to predict satellite orbits with low computational load.

Title: Process for producing a technically pure soda
IPC: C01D7/18
Filed: 1955-04-07
Abstract: Carbon dioxide is removed from a gaseous mixture, e.g. a mixture comprising hydrogen and carbon monoxide with simultaneous production of sodium bicarbonate in two stages, the gaseous mixture being contacted in one stage with a solution obtained by dissolving sodium carbonate containing as impurity one or more sodium salts, e.g. sodium nitrate, chloride or sulphate, which are utilizable as reactants in an ammonia-soda process, and in the other stage with an ammoniacal solution of one or more sodium salts to which is bled continuously or intermittently solution from the first mentioned stage before the solution in <PICT:0812795/III/1> said stage becomes saturated with impurity.  The second mentioned stage may be an ammonia-soda process as described in Specification 812,134.  The sodium carbonate for the first mentioned stage or from the Le Blanc or a known ammonia-soda process.  A sodium chloride concentration of 5-10 per cent may be maintained in the solution of the first mentioned stage.  The carbon dioxide removal may be effected entirely after a conversion of the carbon monoxide content of synthesis gas to carbon dioxide, or partially before and partially after.  In the latter case, either or both of the carbon dioxide removal operations may be according to the present invention.  As shown, the continuous carbonate-bicarbonate process is effected in an apparatus consisting of three units in series, each unit comprising an absorption tower (2, 3 or 4), a mixing vessel (8, 13 or 20), a solid sodium carbonate inlet (9, 15 or 21), a sodium bicarbonate separation vessel (6, 14 or 26), and an overflow pipe (30, 12 or 19).  The gas passes from first inlet 1 to last outlet 31, while the solution passes in countercurrent flow from the first mixing vessel 20, which has an inlet 22 for condensate to a last overflow pipe 30.  Gas and liquid from outlet 31 and pipe 30 respectively are passed to an associated ammonia-soda process.

Patent GB-514428-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to the manufacture of steel
IPC: C21C5/28
Filed: 1938-04-04
Abstract: 514,428. Steel. PERRIN, R. April 4, 1938, No. 10334. [Class 72] Steel containing low contents of phosphorus and oxygen is produced in the Thomas converter by removing at least a part of the slag after dephosphorisation and treating the metal with manganese in the presence of a slag which is in sufficient quantity and has a sufficiently high manganese oxide content to prevent rephosphorisation of the metal by phosphorus compounds present in the residue of the used slag and/or the lining of the converter. The process may be carried out by removing the greater part of the slag after a very far-reaching overblowing and adding to the metal and residual slag the necessary quantities of manganese and manganese oxide, a very short blowing then being effected before pouring the metal. Alternatively, after an ordinary blowing almost all the slag is removed, a solid or molten slag containing the desired quantity of manganese oxide or slag element having a sufficient proportion of manganese oxide, e.g. lime and a. manganese ore, added and a supplementary short blowing effected either before or after the addition of the manganese or the slag and manganese may be added after the second blowing. After the treatment the metal may be de-oxidized as described in Specifications 404,300 and 405,456. Specifications 405,633, 427,763, 455,042 and 455,070 also are referred to.

Title: Improvements in davits
IPC: B63B23/04
Filed: 1920-04-14
Abstract: 166,354. Super, F. J. April 14, 1920. Davits; boat raising and lowering gear.-In davits of the type comprising a fixed vertical structure, to the base of which is pivoted a boatsupporting structure carrying the boat-lowering gear, the initial luffing movement of the pivoted structure is effected positively by means of gearing. The arrangement comprises two vertical columns 1 consisting of channel-irons connected by cross-bars and two luffing-members 15 initially operated by pinions 39, driven by a chain-wheel 31 through spur and bevel gearing, engaging rack-bars 40 which abut against the vertical columns and ride in the luffing-members between pulleys 42 and the pinions. The luffing-members are fitted with internal and vertical shafts geared to an horizontal shaft 18, so that the chain wheel 31 operates the pinions 39 on both davits. The subsequent operation and control of the davits is effected by a two-speed hoisting- device 56, fitted to the top of one of the vertical columns and provided with two cable drums 8, 11 and cables 12, 7. A boat-supporting beam fitted with a similar hoisting- gear and adjustable cable sheaves is carried from the upper ends of the luffing-members by ball-and-socket joints 44. In a modification the boat-supporting beam is carried by secondary luffing-arms pivoted to the lower end of the luffing-members 15, the racks 40 being pivoted to the vertical columns and the cables passing to the secondary luffing - arms over pulleys at the top of the luffing-members 15. The gear for effecting the initial luffing is carried by the luffing-members 15 as before, but the travel of these members terminates at the end of the rack bars, the final luffing movement being confined to the secondary luffing- arms. When lifting a light load with the hoisting-gear, Fig. 6, the brake 74<a> is tightened and the cable drums 11, 9 are operated by the chainwheel 65 through spur wheels 63, 59, 10, 9, the wheel 63 being loose on the shaft 64 and held from running back by spring- pressed pawls 84 engaging ratchet teeth 87 formed on the wheel 63. To lift a heavy load, the brake 74a is released and the drum 74, formed with spur teeth at 72, is locked to the shaft 64 by the brake 76 operated by chain wheel 80. Rotation of the shaft 64 by the chain wheel 91 will drive the loose wheel 63 through the drum 74, compound spur-wheels 69, 69a, and the internal spur-wheel 82 which carries the pawls 84 engaging the ratchet teeth 87, formed on the wheel 63. This wheel 63 then operates the cable drums as before, running back being prevented by the ratchet wheel and pawl 92, 93. Either of the brakes 74a, 76 may be used to control the lowering of the boats or the luffing of the davits after the initial positive movement.
