Abstract: PATENT 211PUS04362 ABSTRACT The present invention relates to a process for the production of kryton and xenon by using a vapor stream containing greater than 2X oxygen to strip a liquid stream containing oxygen, krypton, methane and xenon of methane. This is accomplished by properly adjusting the liquid to vapor flows in the distillation column. The use of a suitable reflux liquid will decrease the loss of krypton and xenon in the methane laden vapor stream leaving the distillation system.

Title: Electrochemical cell, reference electrode and electrochemical method
Inventor: HARRISON MICHAEL H
IPC: G01N27/30
Filed: 1990-07-02
Abstract: The concentration of an ionic species (e.g. K+) is determined using an ion sensitive electrode having an appropriate membrane (e.g. valinomycin in plasticised PVC). In place of a conventional reference electrode, the half cell is completed with an electrode having an identical membrane but lacking the constituent producing the ion-selective response (e.g. plasticised PVC). The working and reference electrodes can then be made in substantially the same manner to null of interferents. The difficulties associated with double junctions are avoided.

Title: Load impact controller for a speed regulator system
Inventor: PETERSON ROBERT S
IPC: H02P7/285
Filed: 1990-10-24
Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE      An impact load controller (28) compensates for the speed drop of a drive motor (12), which speed drop is caused by a load disturbance applied to the drive motor (123.  A change in the dynamics of a speed controller (30, 34) in a speed regulator system for a stand in a tandem rolling mill is initiated by detecting a speed error (WE) which is greater than a predetermined speed error value and is removed after the speed error has been reduced to a predetermined value. The controller (28) is a pure rate controller whose input is converted into a rate of change in speed error, which is multiplied by a gain factor.  The resultant gain value product is initially increased by a predetermined factor to provide a high input signal to the (PI) speed controller (34) of a multi-loop speed regulator system for the drive motor (12), and to precharge a low pass filter.  Thereafter, the output of the impact load controller (28) is a function of the time constant of the low pass filter, whereby the product gain consisting of the rate of change in speed error decays exponentially.  The load impact controller (28) can be either a microprocessor type of control arrangement or an analog type of control arrangement.

Abstract: A connection for adjustably holding two window hardware members in pivotally connected relationship, in-cluding a first hardware member with a first cylindrical opening, a second hardware member with a second cylindrical opening, and a stud.  The stud has a flange having two sub-stantially parallel faces and a peripheral surface therebe-tween, with a rivet portion projecting from one face and a pivot portion projecting from the other face.  The rivet portion includes a cylindrical neck extending through the first cylindrical opening and a head on the end of the neck, the flange and the head engaging opposite sides of the first hardware member to frictionally secure the stud against pivoting relative to the track.  The pivot portion includes a cylindrical shaft eccentric from the cylindrical neck and extending through the second cylindrical opening. A C-ring is disposed in an external peripheral groove in the pivot portion to secure the second hardware member thereto for pivoting about the cylindrical shaft.  A part of the C-ring is in the peripheral groove and a part ex-tends radially beyond the pivot portion periphery when the C-ring is in a securing position.  The peripheral groove has a depth to enable deformation of the C-ring by movement of the spaced-apart ends towards each other to a release position in which substantially all of the C-ring is in the peripheral groove.  The stud flange peripheral surface is engageable with a tool to allow for adjustment of the piv-otal connection by pivoting the stud.

Abstract: A missile guidance antenna that is conformal to the missile surface, dual-polarized and broadband.   Slotline notch array elements (30, 52) are inclined toward boresight for both the E and H-planes.  This inclination directs a greater portion of the energy toward the front of the missile.   The additional energy directed forward reduces the nullifying effects of the metallic skin on the tangen-tial E-field and enhances the performance of the other polarization.  The slotline elements (30, 52) can be packed with spacing close enough to allow for electronic beam steering without creating grating lobes in the field at the highest frequency of operation.

Abstract: L'invention est un circuit de déviation vertical qui élimine en grande partie le défilement vertical et l'instabilité verticale sur un moniteur vidéo (260) qui, par exemple, affiche en succession des images produites par une pluralité de caméras vidéo non synchronisées (161,162), le signal de synchronisation vertical (230) transmis au moniteur étant essentiellement une combinaison des signaux de synchronisation verticale individuels (210, 220) produits.  partir de ce signal de synchronisation composite, le circuit de déviation verticale (300) produit le signal de balayage vertical approprié à la caméra du moment pour localiser l'image vidéo produite par cette caméra sur l'écran du moniteur. Dans la mesure où ce circuit peut être redéclenché (310), chaque fois que l'asservissement est perdu entre la caméra et le moniteur, il peut imposer un asservissement vertical à l'impulsion de synchronisation verticale suivante du signal de synchronisation composite sans qu'il soit nécessaire d'attendre le passage de plusieurs trames verticales avant de pouvoir établir la synchronisation verticale entre la caméra et le moniteur.
