Title: Control system for Multiple-Fuel Steam Production System
Inventor: RENNIE JOHN DUNCAN JR
IPC: F22B35/18
Filed: 2006-10-25
Abstract: Process system controlling multi-fuel steam production system (100) like those used in paper production. The system comprising a model predictive controller (112) determining a first value associated with predicting an amount of a first fuel (108), and a second value associated with predicting an amount of a second fuel (110) to produce an amount of steam. Fuel feed controls (116) & (118) are used to control the fuel feed rates. Fuel feed rates are controlled based on first and second trajectory values. The multi-fuel system are able to operate on fossil fuel as the first fuel, and e.g. waste wood or shredded tires as the second fuel. The predicted values are based on energy content of the fuels.

Title: Handheld electronic device with text disambiguation
Inventor: KOLOMIETS SERGEY
IPC: G06F15/02
Filed: 2005-06-02
Abstract: A bandheld electronic device includes a reduced QWERTY keyboard and is enabled with disambiguation software. The device provides output in the form of a default output and a number of variants. The output is based largely upon the frequency, i.e., the likelihood that a user intended a particular output, but various features of the device provide additional variants that are not based solely on frequency and rather are provided by various logic structures resident on the device. The device enables editing during text entry and also provides a learning function that allows the disambiguation function to adapt to provide a customized experience for the user. The disambiguation function can be selectively disabled and an alternate keystroke interpretation system provided. Additionally, the device can facilitate the selection of variants by displaying a graphic of a special <NEXT> key of the keypad that enables a user to progressively select variants generally without changing the position of the user's hands on the device.

Title: Pressure regulation in remote zones
Inventor: SHAJII ALI
IPC: F16K31/12
Filed: 2006-11-08
Abstract: A pressure control system remotely controls pressure within one or more remote zones, each respectively connected to an enclosure through a conduit, by controlling flow of a fluid into and out of each enclosure. The pressure of the fluid is measured within each enclosure. An estimated pressure within each zone is computed, as a function of the measured pressure in the enclosure and known characteristics of the conduit and the zone. For each zone, an inlet proportional valve and an outlet proportional valve of each enclosure is operated so as to control the input flow rate of the fluid into the respective enclosure and the output flow rate of the fluid out of the enclosure as a function of a pressure set point and the estimated pressure, thereby regulating pressure within the zone in accordance with the pressure set point.

Title: Transmission path estimation device, equalisation device, and radio system
Inventor: YOSHIDA SHOUSEI
IPC: H04B1/76
Filed: 2007-01-23
Abstract: Provided are a transmission path estimation device and an equalization device capable of realizing an excellent transmission path estimation accuracy with a small operation processing quantity. The equalization device includes: a transmission path estimation unit including ZF calculation and clipping process unit, and a correlation process unit; a weight calculation unit; and an equalization filter. The ZF calculation and clipping process unit calculates a pilot reference signal according to ZF by using a signal obtained by convening a pilot code into a frequency region, clips the gain of the calculated pilot reference signal by a predetermined value, and generates a clipped pilot reference signal. The correlation process unit estimates the transmission path characteristic of the frequency region by correlating the pilot reception signal of the frequency region with the clipped pilot reference signal. The weight calculation unit calculates an equalization weight from the transmission path characteristic of the frequency region. The equalization filter equalizes the reception signal of the frequency region by the equalization weight.

IPC: G06F17/21
Filed: 2009-02-13
Abstract: Rules 206 defining a set of expression patterns - e.g. search patterns or regular expressions - represent predetermined confidential information. The rules are loaded 204 into a computerised document production/editing application, e.g. Microsoft ¹ Word, and a document 210 is analysed for the presence of at least one of the patterns, detection being indicated visually. The application includes an inline module to monitor 212 occurrences of the patterns. Rules are served from a rules server and the expression patterns are incorporated into the application via a plug-in. One of the patterns may define the format of a US social security number, being 9 numeric characters in 3 hyphen-separated groups distributed over 11 character positions, e.g. 123-45-6789. A detected expression pattern may be modified according to a predetermined format or style or may be otherwise redacted, perhaps according to a user- or system-defined template. The analysis may proceed without knowledge of the document user.

Title: Improvements in or relating to positive displacement pumps with rotary drive, and method of arranging same
IPC: F04C14/28
Filed: 1961-03-20
Abstract: 966,875. Rotary pumps. A. PETIT & CIE S.a.r.L. March 20, 1961 [April 7, 1960; Nov. 24, 1960], No. 10031/61. Heading F1F. The output of a rotary positive displacement pump 17 controlled by permitting fluid to leak across an end face of the rotor or rotors. A rotary pump, such as a gear pump or a pump with a gyratory piston (Figs. 3 and 4, not shown) has a plate 12 urged towards the end faces of the rotors 5, 6 by pressurized fluid which has leaked into the enclosed chamber 11, and by the spring-loaded pistons 19. The pressure in chamber 11 may be controlled by connecting it to atmosphere, or to the pump inlet through a pipe 20 and valve 21. Fig. 5 shows a tank 43 mounted directly on the pump Liquid enters the tank at 44 and passes through a tube 45 to the pump inlet 28. The pump output is reduced or stopped by an actuating valve 48, thus relieving the pressure in the chamber 11. This is done by turning a cam 51 which presses on an arm 53, or by a float 49 falling (should the liquid level fall). A valve 54 in the pump outlet positively stops the flow when the output pressure is sufficiently low.

Title: Method of making insulated gate field effect transistors
Inventor: TALBOT-MELLOR PETER JOSEPH
IPC: H01L29/78
Filed: 1968-03-01
Abstract: 1,248,051. IGFETs. POST OFFICE. 3 March, 1969 [1 March, 1968], No. 10100/68. Heading H1K. An IGFET is formed by depositing a layer of P(N) type on a layer of N(P) type material and diffusing impurity into it to form a second N(P) layer, forming a trough extending through the other layers into the first N(P) layer, providing insulating material on the groove walls and then depositing a metal electrode on the insulation where it overlies the P(N) layer. A typical device, Fig. 3, is formed by epitaxially depositing a 1 ohm. cm. N-type silicon layer 8 6 Á thick on a 0.005 ohm cm. silicon substrate 7 and then forming a P-type layer 11 by planar diffusion techniques. Grooves 15 extending to the substrate are formed by photoresist and etching steps and then the exposed surfaces of the grooves coated with oxide 1500 Š thick. The interdigitated drain 20 and gate 21 electrodes and electrodes 19, all of which extend over an overall oxide layer to enlarged contact pads are then shaped by etching from an evaporated layer of aluminium. The substrate is attached to a header constituting the source electrode. Source-drain capacitance may be reduced by leaving the bases of the grooves free of electrode metal. Another way of reducing the capacitance is to use a lightly doped N-type substrate with a heavily doped P-type surface layer functioning as source, the groove extending through this layer. In another modification the oxide insulant is absent from the bases of the grooves which are covered with a silicon nitride layer which also extends over the oxide on the groove walls. This layer can break down reversibly to short the gate to the source at voltages less than the breakdown voltage of the gate insulation proper and thus fulfils a protective function. In yet another arrangement which enables several devices with mutually isolated sources to be formed in a single body the substrate is again of N-type with diffused P-type inclusions constituting the sources which can be contacted at the bases of etched grooves. Finally the vertical walls of the grooves may be replaced by inclined walls, resulting in some cases in V-shaped grooves, by orientating the substrate surface in a 100 plane and using hydrazine hydrate to etch the grooves.
