Title: Electrolyzed water producing method and apparatus
Inventor: MIYASHITA KOHICHI
IPC: C25B1/26
Filed: 2008-09-18
Abstract: Electrolyzed water producing method and apparatus are provided which are capable of producing electrolyzed water having a desired property irrespective of the quality of raw water supplied and the like while allowing the size and weight of the apparatus and the cost to be reduced by limiting the capacity of an electrolysis power source. The electrolyzed water producing method includes: circulating an aqueous electrolyte solution to a first electrolytic chamber (3a) of a pair of electrolytic chambers (3a, 3b) opposed to each other across an intervening ion permeable diaphragm (2) while supplying raw water to the second electrolytic chamber (3b); and applying a predetermined voltage to a pair of electrodes (7a, 7b) disposed in the respective electrolytic chambers (3a, 3b) with the diaphragm (2) intervening therebetween, to electrolyze the raw water and the aqueous electrolyte solution, thereby producing electrolyzed water in the second electrolytic chamber (3b).  When an electrolytic current generated by the electrolysis is less than a predetermined current at a point in time at which a first predetermined time has elapsed from start of the electrolysis, with the electrolyte being supplied to the aqueous electrolyte solution, supply of the electrolyte is increased until the electrolytic current is equal to or greater than the predetermined current after lapse of the first predetermined time, with the voltage applied across the pair of electrodes (7a, 7b) being kept at the predetermined voltage.

Title: Improvements of finite differences methods
Inventor: WELKIE DAVID G
IPC: G06F17/13
Filed: 2008-09-19
Abstract: Many important physical phenomena are described by partial differential equations (PDEs) of a function f(x,y,z) constrained by boundary conditions. Solutions of such 'boundary value problems' are often calculated numerically using so-called 'finite differences' (FD) methods. Essentially, a regular array, or 'grid', of points is established in the spatial domain, and an array of difference equations are solved numerically to yield values of f(x,y,z) that are consistent with the boundary conditions at the locations of the grid points. However, the boundary conditions are often not initially specified precisely at the locations of grid points, in particular, when such boundary conditions are represented by curved or slanted surfaces which do not coincide precisely with grid point array. Typically, the locations of such boundary surfaces are approximated by grid points located proximal to the boundary surfaces, while the values of f(x,y,z) at these 'boundary grid points' are, nevertheless, assigned the values of the boundary surfaces proximal to the 'boundary grid points'. Such approximations of the original boundary conditions lead to errors in the subsequent determination of the function f(x,y,z) by finite differences methods. The present invention provides methods by which the values assigned to the boundary grid points are not the values of f(x,y,z) of non-coincident boundary surfaces proximal to the boundary grid points, but rather, values are assigned to the boundary grid points that more accurately account for the differences in locations between each original boundary surface and that of each respective proximal boundary grid point. Consequently, the subject invention provides methods by which the function f(x,y,z) may be calculated with FD methods with greater accuracy than methods. The invention is described herein particularly with regard to solving Laplace's equation to determine potential distributions in electron and/or ion optical devices.

Filed: 2007-06-01
Abstract: A tubular LED light source, based on a tube manufactured in a heat conduc ting material (1). The LED's (2) are mounted on a part of the outer surface of the tube. Thereby they conduct their heat to the tube, which transfers th e heat to the suroundings by cooling fins (6) located on the the other part of the outer surface of the tube. Inside the tube the control electronic (7) is placed. It is electrically connected with the LED's on the outer surface of the tube, and with connectors (10) in each end of the tube. The connecto rs makes it possible to install the light source in existing fluorescent tub e fittings, as a direct replacement for fluorescent tubes. There is vacuum ( 20) inside the tube, so that no damaging condensed water is generated in col d environments. The control electronics can turn on/off and adjust the light level from LED's, and adjust the color components (RGB) of the light. Hereb y different color temperatures can be generated. The light source has sensor s for detection of movements in the surroundings, and for measuring the spec trum of the light, in the suroundings. The control electronics can communica te with other light sources or a central control unit, by the existing power cable. Further it can be log informations about the operation of the light source too, for further analysis. Instead of ordinary LED's, organic LED's ( OLED) can be used.

IPC: H04W84/18
Filed: 2007-06-14
Abstract: A system for key management in sensor networks which takes the location of sensor nodes into consideration while deciding the keys to be deployed on each node. This system reduces the number of keys that have to be stored on each sensor node and also provides for the containment of node compromise. Thus compromise of a node in a location affects the communications only around that location. The location dependent key management system does not require any knowledge about the deployment of sensor nodes. The system starts off with the loading of a single key on each sensor node prior to deployment. Subsequent to deployment a plurality of beacons is transmitted a plurality of different transmission ranges from each anchor node, said beacons containing at least one nonce. Each sensor node receives beacons depending upon its location in the network. Thus, sensor nodes in different locations have different nonce sets, and each sensor node derives updated keys using a combination of the common key and its set of nonces. The system allows for additions of sensor nodes to the network at any point in time.

Filed: 2007-06-29
Abstract: Method and apparatus for authorizing a calling card telephone call are described. In one example, a telephone calling card includes a planar body having a memory system, an input circuit, a controller, and a display. The memory system is configured to store key code information. The input circuit is configured to receive a personal identification number (PIN). The controller is configured to derive a key code from the key code information using the PIN. The display is configured to present the key code. The user may then use the key code for purposes of authorizing a call made using a calling card. The key code may change from time-to-time as the user uses the calling card. Since the user's PIN is not entered into a telephone by the user, the calling card is less susceptible to unauthorized and/or fraudulent use by third parties.
