Abstract: A power supply system for an apparatus (SVR) with a rechargeable battery (B) has its power supply unit (PSU) coupled to the apparatus (SVR) by a two-wire connection (PSA/SVA; PSB/SVB). The power supply unit (PSU) having a flyback converter (DCC) with a transformer (TR) which supplies the battery (B) with charging current. The converter (DCC) is stopped periodically during breaks in which the apparatus (SVR) applies a status signal (STS) to the power supply unit via the two-wire connection. The power supply unit detects the status signal by means of a status detector (STD) and depending on the meaning of the status signal it switches the converter to another value of the charging current. When the battery (B) is full, which is detected by a battery management unit (BMU), or when the charging current is too large, which is detected by a comparator (CMP) and a current-sensing resistor (R2), it is thus possible to switch from fast charging to trickle charging. By way of status signal the apparatus (SVR) supplies a voltage pulse to an auxiliary winding (Ls2) of the transformer (TR) by temporarily short-circuiting a rectifier diode (D5) in the secondary circuit by a switching transistor (T) during the current supply breaks.

Abstract: It is known that the addition of an anti-staling amylase reduces the rate of crumb firming during storage for 1-7 days after baking, but the inventors found a need to improve the softness in the initial period after baking, particularly the first 24 hours after baking. This can be overcome by using a phospholipase, so that bread made by the combined use of an anti-staling amylase and a phospholipase has improved softness, both when eaten on the same day and when stored for several days after baking. There is no significant change in the taste or smell of the baked product.

Abstract: A magnetic device is formed from a permanent magnet (12, 14) generating magnetic flux, and an armature (10) which can occupy either a first air gap in which the flux is in one direction, or a second air gap in which the flux is in the opposite direction, with a region of flux cancellation between the two air gaps. At least one electromagnet winding (36, 38) may be provided to which current can be supplied which when energised produces a magnetic flux in one direction or the other, depending on the direction of the current, the flux from the winding increasing the flux density in one of the air gaps and reducing the flux density in the other air gap. This effectively shifts the flux cancellation region towards or into one of the two air gaps so as to produce a flux density gradient extending from one air gap to the other, which will cause the armature to move into (or remain in) the air gap having the higher flux density, and continue to remain in that air gap after the current flow ceases. The device can be incorporated into a fluid valve to act as a drive for opening and closing the valve. It may also serve as the drive for opening and closing electrical contacts. Monostable operation can be achieved by locating a magnetic flux shunt at one end of the armature travel. A holding solenoid may be incorporated. A plurality of such devices controlling the opening and closing of a plurality of orifices in a manifold containing fluid especially gas or air, under positive pressure, may be controlled by signals from a computer controlled signal generator to produce an air cushion for supporting and/or conveying articles, or a sound wave whose amplitude and frequency is controlled by the signal generator. Such a device may be incorporated into a pipeline to influence the flow of fluid therethrough or into the exhaust or inlet manifold of a turbine or engine, especially a jet engine, to interact with the gases flowing therethrough and introduce or reduce turbulence or otherwise alter the gas flow.

Abstract: This application discloses an automated apparatus for cleaning the interior surface of a pipe. The device includes a vehicle which propels itself down the inside of the pipe. A cleaning system is fixed to the vehicle and uses arms to reach the walls of the pipe. At the end of each arm sits a spray nozzle assembly equipped with spray nozzles. The spray nozzle assembly rotates or oscillates to spray clean the pipe surface. The arms and spray nozzle assembly interchange with other such cleaning systems depending on the shape or type of pipe and the desired cleaning technique. The apparatus is tethered to a source of fluid under pressure and a power source both of which are located off-board the apparatus at a remote location. An operator supervises the device's operation, controlling the speed and direction of travel of the vehicle, the speed and direction of oscillation and rotation of the cleaning system, and the fluid pressure delivered by the spray nozzles.
