Patent ZA-863034-B (ZA)
Title: Fluidised bed heat exchange apparatus
Inventor: LARGE JEAN-FRANCOIS
IPC: B01J8/24
Filed: 1986-04-23
Abstract: A heat exchanger comprises two fluidization chambers separately supplied with fluidization gas. A heat transfer medium in the form of particulate material is supplied to the first chamber which is in communication with the second chamber. The second chamber has an outlet for discharging the heat transfer medium and contains a plurality of heat exchange tubes immersed in the fluidized bed therein. The particles of the heat transfer medium have average dimensions between 50 and 3,000 micrometers, and the maximum speed of the fluidizing gas in the second chamber is between 1.5 times and 10 times the minimum speed of fluidization of the particles of the heat transfer medium. Adjacent heat exchange tubes are arranged to be spaced by a horizontal distance which is between 1.4 times and 2.1 times the external diameter of these tubes. Additionally, the tubes have a vertical spacing between 1.4 and 2.1 times the external diameter of these tubes. By these means efficient heat exchange between the particulate material and a fluid flowed through the tubes is achieved.

Title: Improved building/flooring panel
Inventor: KEMP MICHAEL BARRIE
IPC: E01C5/08
Filed: 2000-06-23
Granted: 2003-05-14
Abstract: A building panel has a reinforcing mesh embedded in a concrete slab formed by pressing. The reinforcing mesh is formed of wire rods each of which has at least one flat face. The rods are welded together with the flat faces of the rods abutting one another so that contact between the wire rods occurs over an area. Wire mesh of this kind has considerably enhanced weld shear strength. The panels are formed by pressing so that the concrete mix becomes dense and generally homogeneous. The high structural strength of such panels makes them ideal for use in constructing block and beam foundations and for use in walls, ceilings and flooring.

Title: Intraframe coding and decoding equipment
Inventor: KURODA HIDEO
IPC: H04N7/62
Filed: 1983-05-04
Granted: 1986-02-05
Abstract: Intraframe coding and decoding equipment are used in a communication network for digital video signals. Video signal sources which have various frequency deviations are transmitted by the communication network. Each of the intraframe coding and decoding equipment items has a locked sampling coding algorithm which is suitable for an input video signal with high frequency precision and a nonlocked sampling coding algorithm which is suitable for an input video signal with low frequency precision. It is determined whether or not the frequency precision (i.e., the frequency deviation of the sync signal) falls within a predetermined range. One of the coding algorithms is selected in accordance with a detection result. The coding algorithm can be selected in accordance with a decoding algorithm of a receiving-side equipment. Switching of the coding algorithms is performed simultaneously with switching of the clock signals of the locked and unlocked sampling clocks.

Title: Gyroscopic devices
Inventor: BURDESS JAMES STONEHOUSE
IPC: G01C19/567
Filed: 1985-02-19
Granted: 1987-10-21
Abstract: A gyroscopic device comprising a resonator in the form of a disc, cylinder or like structure of circular outline, of a composition containing piezo-electric material and preferably made of a an integral mass of such material. The resonator is excited into dilatation-type vibration by electric currents applied to exciting electrodes electro-deposited in a regular pattern around the circumference of the structure, and these vibrations are sensed by detecting electrodes similarly deposited around the wall in a similar but angularly displaced pattern. A measure of any rate of turn which the structure is undergoing about its axis can be derived from the resulting phase shift of the electrical output from the detecting electrodes.

Title: Slope stabilising means
Inventor: BARLEY ANTHONY DONALD
IPC: E02D5/74
Filed: 1999-12-03
Granted: 2001-11-07
Abstract: A slope stabilizer in which both a ground anchorage and a soil nail are located in a single borehole. The ground anchorage includes a plurality of ground anchorages, each including a tensile member bonded to the bore grout along substantially its whole length. The slope stabilizer has the advantage of allowing the ground to be pre-stressed using the ground anchorages. However, an active zone of the ground is also stabilized by the soil nail, which allows a lighter facing structure to be used than is normal with ground anchorages. Economy of operations is obtained, as a number of items are included in a single borehole.

Abstract: A valve assembly for venting diecasting moulds comprises a venting channel, a venting valve communicating with the venting channel and having an axially displaceable valve closure member, and an actuating member for operating the venting valve from an open position into a closed position. The actuating member includes a power pick up member exposed to the liquid casting material escaping during the casting operation from a casting chamber provided in the diecasting mould through the venting channel and being axially displaceable under the influence of the kinetic energy transmitted from the liquid casting material to the power pick up member when the liquid casting material hits the power pick up member. The power pick up member is mechanically coupled to the axially displaceable valve closure member and includes an axially displaceable push member having an operating stroke whose length is limited to only a fraction of the length of the stroke performed by the axially displaceable valve closure member when it is driven from its open position to its closed position. The axially displaceable valve closure member freely moves along a path in addition to the operating stroke of the power pick up member. The actuating member further comprises a power transmission member for the transmission of the impact force exerted by the liquid casting material onto the power pick up member to the axially displaceable valve closure member of the venting valve.
