Abstract: "APARELHO E PROCESSO APERFEIçOADOS PARA SEPARAR ALUMìNIO DE UMA MISTURA DE ALUMìNIO E BORRA DE ALUMìNIO" Um aparelho (14) para separar alumínio em fusão de uma mistura de alumínio e borra de alumínio inclui uma mesa (16, 54) para suportar um cadinho isolado (59, 75) contendo a mistura de alumínio e borra de alumínio. Vibradores elétricos, mecânicos ou ultra-sónicos (70) ou assemelhados são proporcionados para vibrar a mesa e o cadinho (59, 75). Uma estrutura (50, 52, 54) suporta uma pá rotativa (18, 64) que pode ser baixada na mistura no cadinho (59, 75) para agitar a mistura, propiciando vibração e agitação simultâneas do cadinho (59, 75) e agitação da mistura. Em virtude dessas agitação e vibração, as gotículas e partículas de alumínio da borra coalescem, para formar gotículas maiores e afundar, gradualmente, na base do cadinho (59, 75). O alumínio pode ser depois drenado para uma caçamba (20, 20a, 76). Um meio de peneiramento é disposto para circundar, substancialmente, o cadinho (59, 75), quando é suportado pela mesa (16, 14). O meio de peneiramento inclui um orifício (72) para propiciar acesso ao cadinho (59, 75) em uma posição, e em uma segunda posição impede acesso ao cadinho (59, 75). Uma coifa (80, 83) é proporcionada na parte de topo do aparelho (14), de modo que o cadinho (59, 75) é substancialmente inteiramente coberto. Podem ser usados queimadores a gás (88, 90) para reter calor no cadinho (59, 75) e no seu conteúdo.

Title: Image detection
Inventor: FORBES STEWART
IPC: G08B17/12
Filed: 2000-03-15
Abstract: Apparatus for detecting images, such as flames, comprises an image sensor (<B>10</B>), such as a video camera, and a radiation sensor (<B>14</B>) which views the same scene as the image sensor. The radiation sensor may be tuned to a specific IR wavelength, such as 4.4 micrometers, by the use of a filter (<B>16</B>), and produces a varying output dependent on the radiation received from the whole scene. Outputs from both sensors are fed to a central processing unit (<B>18</B>) where the video signal is image-processed to identify bright clusters. The varying size of a cluster is then compared or correlated with the varying signal from the radiation sensor to identify whether the cluster is one which represents a source of varying infra-red radiation or flame.

Title: Automatic frequency control circuit
Inventor: HASEGAWA OSAMU
IPC: H04B1/7113
Filed: 2000-06-26
Abstract: In an AFC Automatic Frequency Control circuit, a frequency offset estimating circuit 11 produces a lock signal 102 if a calculated frequency error becomes smaller than a predetermined value. Then, a CPU 13 produces a control signal 104 to stop the operation of the frequency offset estimating circuit 11. A timing generating circuit 14 calculates a frequency error with reference to a frame timing correction amount from a delay profile/search circuit 12 and produces an unlock signal 103 if the frequency error becomes equal to or greater than the predetermined value. Then, the CPU 13 produces the control signal 104 to start the operation of the frequency offset estimating circuit 11. Thus, the frequency offset estimating circuit 11 stops its operation while the AFC operation is in the locked state. In a modification (Fig 5) the frequency offsett estimating circuit 11 is removed and the timing generating circuit 14 determines the lock/ unlock state and a ROM 15 provides an output from the delay profile/search circuit 12 to an accumulator 9.

Filed: 2000-08-30
Abstract: A die (2') for extruding aluminium and aluminium alloys in which an upstream entrance section has an entrance surface (13) which diminishes downstream to a downstream diminishing surface (14). A discontinuity (20) may be provided between the first entrance surface and a gap (16) may be provided between a final die surface (19) and a backer (7). A die can be divided into two parts at the discontinuity (20) so that the relative taper angles of surfaces (12 and 14) can be varied without replacing the whole die. This is useful to change the die configuration for a particular alloy to control the microstructure of the extruded material. The first die surface has the effect of suppressing non-preferred grain structures whilst the second surface has the additional benefit of improving the eventual surface finish of the extrusion.

Title: Apparatus and method for determining the physical condition of a pipeline
Inventor: YATES ANTHONY
IPC: G01B3/14
Filed: 2000-04-10
Abstract: Apparatus (1) for determining the condition of a pipeline is comprised of a carrier means (2), a gauge plate (3) and a detection means (7). The apparatus (1) is further provided with a transmission means (4) to indicate to a remote location the detection of the presence of physical defects in the pipeline. When the apparatus (1) passes a physical defect in the pipeline, the gauge plate (3) which may be elastomeric, will be deformed or bent. As a result, the detection means will communicate with the transmission means, which in turn will indicate the defect to a remote location. The transmission means may be in the form of an acoustic, electro-magnetic, nucleonic or mechanical system. The apparatus allows the physical condition of a pipeline to be monitored without having to retrieve the pig from the pipeline to visually examine it.

Abstract: Enabling a user to compile an order for goods and services, or requests that actions can be carried out on their behalf, without having to be connected to the Internet or even using their computer. A portable data collection device e.g. barcode scanner 112 is used to collect references, by scanning product barcodes to order goods, or scanning functional codes which may be published in advertising material, Fig. 3, for requesting information, provision of services, etc. The scanned codes are stored in the data collection device and then transferred to a client program executing on a local computer 110 either by a wired or a wireless (e.g. infra-red or radio) link. The codes are then transferred to remote servers over the Internet 114. The remote server may be an e-commerce system 120, typically for product ordering, or a functional server 122 to process the functional references which may be passed to a third party for action. Further information may be required from the user for the processing of functional references (Fig. 4).

Abstract: A vibratory conveyor system comprises one or more feeders 22, each comprising a base 32 operationally connected, via a vibratory drive 36, to a trough 34, a local power control circuit 28 and a common electrical supply / bus 26. Each feeder may have a unique power supply requirement and the dedicated power control circuit 28 in each permits such variation in the supply to drive each feeder, whilst allowing a common supply 26 to all the feeders 22 in a series. The system may negate the need for individual power supplies lines to a substantial number of feeders 22 with different power requirements, either intentional, such as due to the use of feeders or differing power ratings, or unintentional, such as due to different rates of wear in individual feeders. Each power control circuit 28 may comprise an output rate adjustment (102, fig.7) which may control at least one of the frequency or magnitude of the drive signal to the vibratory drive 36. The common supply 26 may also carry command signals to each feeder 12, from a cental feeder controller 24, such as to switch each feeder 12 on or off.
