Filed: 1991-04-12
Abstract: An improved process for the pre-purification of air prior to introduction into a cryogenic air separation unit is described.  Water vapor and carbon dioxide are substantially removed from air by a pressure swing adsorption (PSA) process utilizing an adsorbent which has an initial layer of activated alumina which comprises from about 70% to 100% by volume of the bed with the remaining layer,  if present, being a suitable zeolite.

Patent CA-2040421-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MCGARRY PATRICK J
IPC: H04M19/08
Filed: 1990-09-10
Abstract: A standard keyboard or keypad  (14)  for a coin operated telephone (2)  is connected to balance  an artificial line (43) rather than the actual phone line.   The artificial line  (43) simulates operating conditions at the end of the loop regardless of whether the phone that the keyboard is in is actually near or far from the central office  (4).   As a result,  the standard keyboard  (14)  can be operated using a current at or near its designed   minimum   operating   current.      Additionally,   a microcontroller (110) for controlling the operation and decoding of the keyboard (14) is programmed to have a small duty cycle of on time during decoding so that the bulk of the power normally used by the microcontroller (110) can be switched to the keyboard (14) when it is detected that a key is depressed.  Thus, a line powered low power controller (3) can be used in conjunction with a standard keyboard  (14).  By reducing the number of lines used to connect the standard keyboard (14) to the controller, an extra line is made available which allows the controller to be utilized with either a standard or a modified keyboard (14').

Filed: 1991-06-20
Abstract: ABSTRACT            An improved arbitration apparatus for a computer network of the type having a plurality of communicating nodes, the nodes communicating by a shared bus, wherein an arbitration apparatus located in each node, functions by assigning to each node an initial arbitration count number; the apparatus includes means, in each node, for testing for the presence of a carrier signal on the bus, indicative that another node is transmitting on the bus; and means, responsive to a number of counted quiet slots (when there is absence of carrier signed on the bus) equaling the arbitration count number, for beginning transmission of a message on the bus.  Also, a means, responsive to a node winning an arbitration, changes the arbitration count number of each node.  The apparatus reserves a specified quiet slot for a node having no knowledge of the history of arbitration to transmit it. Responsive to a node beginning communication during a deaf node quiet slots, the apparatus reassigns an initial set of arbitration count numbers to the nodes, for resetting a clock in each node.

Abstract: ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC PRINTING SYSTEM            ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE      An apparatus for developing an image on a photoconductive surface.  The apparatus includes a roller positioned adjacent to the photoconductive surface.  Negatively charged toner is supplied to the surface of the first roller where the toner electrostatically adheres,  either  in a uniform layer or  a variable layer,  to the surface of the first roller.   The negatively  charged toner  electrostatically  adhered  to  the surface  of  the  first  roller  is then  transferred  to  the photoconductive surface.   The apparatus may also include a second roller held at a positive charge relative to the first roller for electrostatically transferring toner from the second roller to the first roller.  Alternately, the positive charge on the second roller relative to the first roller may be produced by placing a negative charge on the first roller or by placing a negative charge on the second roller and a more negative charge on the second roller.  By placing a negative charge on the second roller, the toner will also be negatively charged before transfer to the first roller.
