Patent ZA-877185-B (ZA)
Title: Improvements in the treatment of water to remove gas vacuolate cyanobacteria
Inventor: CLARKE KEITH BRIAN
IPC: C02F1/00
Filed: 1987-09-24
Abstract: The treatment of water to remove gas vacuolate cyanobacteria is effected by subjecting the water to a predetermined pressure by being pumped down a centrally located pipe (24) in a bore-hole (12), which is steel lined (13). This causes the gas vesicles in the cyanobacteria to collapse. The treated water is then stored in a settling tank (14) where the cyanobacteria sink to the bottom and can be removed along with any other sediment in the water. The method can be applied to decrease the amount of cyanobacteria with gas vesicles in a lake or other water impoundment.

Title: Mixing of farinaceous material
Inventor: CLYDE NELL
IPC: A21C1/14
Filed: 1988-09-26
Abstract: A mixing element (18) for the mixing of farinaceous material, is arranged to rotate at different speeds during the development of the material. The power developed by the motor is arranged to be constant throughout as the whole of mixing process and the speed of the rotating element is decreased as the resistance to its motion, provided by the developing farinaceous material, increases. This characteristic, which is required for minimum power wastage, may be effected by the sensing of the resistance provided by the developing material.

Title: One-piece plastics closures
Inventor: BROWNBILL THOMAS DUNCAN
IPC: B65D41/04
Filed: 1993-09-20
Abstract: A one-piece plastics closure for a carbonated beverage bottle has a sealing ring (24) which extends inwardly and downardly towards the closure mouth from its attachment to the closure body. When the closure is fitted the ring extends around the outer radius (56) and over the annular top face (50) of the bottle neck, backed by a stepless abutment and reaction surface (34) of the closure body. The latter surface engages the sealing ring mechanically above the container top face (50) to determine the fitted position of the closure and create a seal when the pressure in the bottle is low. When the product pressure is high, however, the effective seal is made between the sealing ring (24) and the outer radius (56) of the bottle neck. For that purpose the abutment and reaction surface is roughened, so allowing access for the product pressure to the back of the sealing ring. <IMAGE>

Title: Delta sigma D/A converter
Inventor: TAKEDA MINORU
IPC: H03M7/36
Filed: 2000-06-06
Granted: 2003-07-23
Abstract: An improved delta sigma digital-to-analog converter in which the thermometer code, which is output from a thermometer code converter, is divided into P blocks for every Q bits. An arrangement of the blocks is shifted in rotation by a barrel shifter at a frequency fs. Along with this, an arrangement of bits within each block is shifted in rotation by a shift register at a frequency of Q times fs. The bits within the code thus obtained are provided to local DACs, each specified to correspond to each of the given bits. In this manner, it is possible to maintain a lower operating frequency while at the same time to reducing the distortion in the output caused by a change in shifting the data in rotation in the local DACs, which change occurs depending on bit levels of the data in a form of the thermometer code.

Abstract: A polarising interferometer wherein at least one of the two measuring arms (13,14) contains an optical cube corner (16 or 19) devoid of coatings on its reflecting surfaces and with its refractive index selected so that the resulting retardation and orientation of the principal axes causes the cube corner to act as a  lambda /4 plate, the beam through the uncoated cube corner being reflected back through a movable end reflector (18 or 20) insensitive to tilt and lateral movement so that the uncoated cube corner acts as a  lambda /2 plate on double transmission, and phase difference in the output beams is detected by an analyser (23, 26, 28) forming four spatially separated component beams respectively polarised at differing azimuth angles, which give two outputs in phase quadrature, of equal amplitude and free of d.c. offsets. The uncoated cube corner acting as a  lambda /4 plate on single transmission and a  lambda /2 plate on double transmission also has application to other polarising optical systems, especially where a coated cube corner has hitherto been used.
