Patent ZA-805877-B (ZA)
Title: Drive control for an elevator
Inventor: SCHROEDER J
IPC: B66B1/30
Filed: 1980-09-23
Abstract: A drive control for transportation systems, especially elevators or the like, improves the stopping accuracy of the elevator cabin at a storey or floor of the building. A reference value transmitter operated by a digital computer produces step-like successive travel curves and displacement path-reference values operatively associated with such travel curves and feedable to a regulation circuit. Connected with the reference value transmitter is a stop initiation device, which during initiating the stop or halting of the elevator, forms from a possible target path produced by the reference value transmitter and a target path corresponding to a target storey a target error. This target error is infed to a stop correction device connected with the reference value transmitter and the stop initiation device, which while utilizing the target error modifies by interpolation the travel curve which is to be produced by the reference value transmitter in a manner such that there is available for regulation an optimum travel curve to the target storey. An arrival correction device which further improves the halt or stop accuracy of the elevator, forms from the elevator cabin site determined at a cabin displacement path counter and the storey site of the target storey a difference which, for the purpose of further correction of the displacement path-reference value, is infed to the stop correction device. This drive control, apart from being used with elevator systems, for instance also can be employed for track-bound horizontal systems.

Title: A method for processing copper smelting materials and the like containing high percentages of arsenic and/or antimony
Inventor: BJOERNBERG ARNE
IPC: C22B30/00
Filed: 1984-05-16
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for preparing a sui- phidic concentrate which is intended for further processing to copper and/or precious metals and which contains high percentages of arsenic and/or antimony, and possibly also bismuth in quantities likely to disturb subsequent processing stages, by partially roasting the concentrate in a fluidized bed, so as to eliminate substantially all the arsenic present and a major part of the antimony and/or bismuth. According to the invention, the concentrate and gas are supplied to a fluidized-bed reactor, and are there heated to a minimum temperature above the splitting or decomposition temperatures of the complex minerals containing arsenic and/or antimony and bismuth present in the concentrate. The oxygen potential in the reactor is regulated, so as to prevent the formation of non-volatile compounds of said impurities. The residence time of the concentrate in the reactor is controlled in a manner to ensure a given minimum elimination of the impurities. The gas and solids are withdrawn from the reactor and passed to a separating means, in which substantially impurity-free solids can be separated from the gas. The aforesaid minimum temperature and said regulated oxygen potential are maintained while the solids are in contact with said gas, and at least a part of the separated solids is returned to the reactor, for controlling the residence time, and an end product is removed from the fluidized bed and/or the separating means. The method is suitably carried out in one stage in a fluidized-bed reactor having a circulatory fluidized bed, although in certain cases the method can be carried out in two stages, in mutually separate reactors.

Title: A device for arc welding,in particular submerged-arc welding,with one or several fusible electrodes
Inventor: DILTHEY ULRICH
IPC: B23K9/10
Filed: 1984-06-13
Abstract: A device for arc welding having one or more fusible electrodes (15) which are in each case supplied from an alternating-current source (14) having a falling characteristic. The feed rate of the electrode (15) is regulated for constant arc length as a function of the arc voltage. Via a further regulator (37), the deposition efficiency is regulated by supplying the regulator (37) with the feed rate as actual value and changing the welding-current intensity as a function of this value. The change in welding-current intensity leads to an increase or decrease in arc length which, in turn, is compensated via the first regulator by changing the feed rate.

Granted: 1992-07-29
Abstract: This invention is concerned with methods for treating wet fir-woods or leaf-woods mainly for reduction of their moisture content and for preservation. The procedure of the invention is conducted in two steps. In the first step, the wet wood is kept in a bath of molten paraffin or a mixture of paraffin with paraffin oil at weight ratios from 90:10 to 10:90 containing 0.05 to 5 percent by weight of colloidal silicon dioxide at 80 DEG  to 180 DEG  C. for 10 to 50 minutes. In the second step, the wood is transferred into another bath of an emulsion consisting of 10 to 30 parts by weight of an aqueous urea/formaldehyde resin with solid content of 30 to 50 percent by weight in term of the solid content of the resin, 0.1 to 0.8 percent by weight of catalyst, 90 to 70 parts by weight of paraffin or a mixture of paraffin with paraffin oil at weight ratios from 90:10 to 10:90, and optionally 1 to 8 parts by weight of additives, preferably emulsifier, pigment, fungicide, and insecticide. The treatment is performed at 60 DEG  to 100 DEG  C. for 20 to 150 minutes. After the wood has been removed and the excess of liquid has drained off, the wood is kept at room temperature for 24 to 48 hours.

Title: Digital signal processing
Inventor: LIND LARRY FREDERICK
IPC: G06F17/17
Filed: 1990-08-09
Granted: 1993-07-21
Abstract: A sequence of N sine and/or cosine values, e.g. for Fourier Transforms, quadrature demodulation or test tone generation, is produced by interpolation from a geometrically-spaced table of initial sine values using a first interpolation formula. After being output, each sine value is replaced in the table by a further calculated value, so the sine table size is kept at M = (Log2N)+2 (where N is the number of sine values in the sequence). To avoid round-off errors at widely-spaced interpolations, a second interpolation formula is selectively used in which sine values are interpolated from cosine values. A cosine table is therefore maintained concurrently with the sine table.
