Abstract: An apparatus (10) for casting metal ingots comprises a series of ingot moulds (12) mounted along an endless conveyor (11) which is arranged to be driven around spaced-apart rotatable members (15) and (17). A molten metal supplying device (20) has a discharge member for supplying molten metal to empty moulds (12) moving along an upper run (14) of the conveyor (11) from a supply end (16) to a discharge end (18) of the upper run (14) of the conveyor (11). A casting hood (13) overlies at least a portion of the moulds (12) on the upper run (14) of the conveyor (11). Adjacent moulds (12) of the portion of moulds are closely contiguous during passage beneath the casting hood (13) whereby passage of protective gas between said adjacent moulds is minimized. The casting hood (13) and the portion of moulds (120) form a substantially gas-tight enclosure above the portion of moulds (12) into which gas can be introduced. The enclosure houses the discharge member of the molten metal supplying device (20).

Title: Window balance
IPC: F16F11/00
Filed: 2003-03-25
Abstract: The present invention relates to inertial braking system for spring-loaded devices, such as block and tackle window balances incorporated in single and double hung window assemblies. In one embodiment, a block and tackle window balance includes a translatable block assembly disposed in a track including a pawl pivotally attached to the translatable block assembly. The pawl, in response to a rapid acceleration of the translatable block assembly, rotates about a pivot and frictionally engages the track, thereby wedging the translatable block assembly in the track. In another embodiment, the translatable block assembly includes a cam attached to the pawl and a brake shoe disposed between the cam and a cord seated within a pulley. Rotation of the pawl causes the cam to translate the brake shoe, thereby compressing the cord against the pulley.

Patent GB-0413421-D0 (GB)
Title: A method of controlling uplink power level
IPC: H04B7/005
Filed: 2004-06-16
Abstract: In soft handover, a mobile user entity 1 is in simultaneous communication with a number of cell base stations 2-4, e.g. via an uplink-dedicated physical channel 9, for normal use. Uplink power level is usually set by reducing power if any active cell requests power down. This is communicated by Transmit Power Control (TCP) signals on a downlink DPCH 5-7 from each cell. If the UE is also using high speed down link packet access (HSDPA), it will be communicating to only the serving cell C 2, e.g. via HS-DPCCH 8 and HS-DSCH 10. In the handover condition, cell A or cell B could be a better link than cell C and could be requesting power down. In the prior art this would also reduce the HSDPA uplink power level, resulting in the likelihood of acknowledgements of correctly received packets not being received by the cell C, leading to unnecessary resending of packets. The invention solves this problem by dividing the control, such that the control signals for the normal traffic sent from all the cells via DLPCH 5-7 control only the corresponding uplink power level on UL-DPCH 9 and separate control of the HSDPA on HSDCCCH is carried out according to signals received from cell C on DL-DPCH.

This is accomplished by compressing feed air to a pressure of 3 to 10 kg/cm2G, introducing this compressed air into a catalyst tower (8) to convert the carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and hydrogen contained in the feed air into carbon dioxide and water, and introducing the purified air into an adsorption tower (12a) or (12b) after cooling the heated air following catalytic reaction to remove carbon dioxide, water and other minute amounts of impurities by adsorption. A portion of the resulting purified air is removed as product high-purity air, while the remainder is introduced into a main heat exchanger (18) where it is cooled to substantially the liquefaction temperature. After cooling, the air is introduced into a single rectification tower (19) followed by liquefaction rectification. High-purity nitrogen is then removed from the top of said single rectification tower which is then obtained as product high-purity nitrogen after going through the main heat exchanger (18). On the other hand, oxygen-rich liquefied air is drawn out from the bottom of the single rectification tower (19). This oxygen-rich liquefied air is then introduced into a condenser-evaporator. (24) where it is vaporized and then drawn out. This drawn out air is then introduced into the main heat exchanger (18) where it is heated to an intermediate temperature and then removed. This oxygen-rich air is then introduced into an expansion turbine (35) where it is expanded and lowered in temperature. After generation of cold, the cold is recovered followed by obtaining of the product gas in the form of purified oxygen-rich air.
