Title: Process for producing hydrogene and carbon oxides from dimethyl ether
Inventor: BHATTACHARYYA ALAKANANDA
IPC: C01B3/32
Filed: 1995-12-01
Abstract: A process for hydroshifting dimethyl ether is described which comprises passing a feed stream which includes dimethyl ether and steam to a hydroshifting reaction zone including an essentially alkali metal-free catalytic composition substantially composed of copper or nickel in elemental form. The process produces a hydroshifted product stream which is relatively rich in hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide. The feed stream can be transported relatively easily in liquid form at comparatively low pressures. The hydroshifting reaction zone can include a hydrolysis reaction zone and a water-gas shift reaction zone. The hydrolyzed product and the water-gas shift product can be recovered to obtain hydrogen and carbon dioxide, respectively. Additionally, the hydroshifted product stream can be blended with an oxidizing stream and combusted to drive a turbine in order to generate mechanical energy.

Title: Image processing method for determining the structural strength of a test object with a diffuse-scattering surface
Inventor: ROTTENKOLBER HANS
IPC: G01B11/16
Filed: 1996-01-15
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/EP96/00187 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 13, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 13, 1996 PCT Filed Jan. 15, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO96/22507 PCT Pub. Date Jul. 25, 1996The proposed image-processing method for determining the structural strength of a test object with a diffuse-scattering surface involves: the creation of an interferogram based on radiation back-scattered by the surface of the test object; conversion of the intrerferogram into a modulo-2 pi  image; and the stabilization of the modulo-2 pi  image to form an output grey scale value image. From the later, an identical duplicate grey scale value image is produced; this is then geometrically shifted and modified by applying an invariable grey scale value in the entire image area, before being finally subtracted from the initial grey scale value image to produce a grey scale image containing easily evaluated information on deformities in the observed test object.

Title: Coating of continuous casting machine components
Inventor: LAVIN PHILIP ANTHONY
IPC: B22D11/124
Filed: 1997-11-07
Abstract: A coating consisting of ceramo-metallic material, e.g. WC-Co, is applied to an internal surface of a grid plate by flame spraying. A ceramic slurry is applied and fired to produce a ceramic coating which is partially removed to produce a composite ceramo-metallic and ceramic surface which is then bonded and densified. The coating is in the form of an array of islands. A ceramic slurry may then be applied and fixed to produce a ceramic coating which is partially removed to produce a composite ceramic-metallic and ceramic surface which is then bonded and densified. The ceramic slurry may contain a chromium compound capable of being converted into chromium oxide at temperatures of at least 300{C. The composite surface may then be impregnated with a solution of at least one soluble compound capable of being converted on heating, into an insoluble substance which bonds the coatings. The soluble compound may be selected from chromia and phosphate forming compounds.

Title: Transparent or translucent earmuff cup
Inventor: LINDGREN FREDRIK
IPC: A61F11/14
Filed: 2000-06-20
Abstract: The present invention provides an earmuff device comprising an earmuff cup having at least a window portion which is formed of an optical material which transmits light rays in such a way that the human eye can see through the material to a degree that an earplug or other object inserted within the ear is visually perceivable to the human eye. In other words, the earmuff cup is formed of a transparent material or a translucent material so long as the earplug inserted within the wearer's ear is visually perceivable through the translucent portion of the earmuff cup. Because the earmuff cup is formed of a material that permits an individual, such as a supervisor or hearing conservationist, to perceive whether an earplug is inserted within the wearer's ear, the earmuff device of the present invention is particularly well suited for use in a dual hearing protection environment in which the previous method of compliance monitoring was time consuming and difficult.

Patent AU-5550300-A (AU)
Title: Computer network payment system
Inventor: STRINGER ANDREW MARK
IPC: H04L47/31
Filed: 2000-06-21
Abstract: A method of electronic payment for data transferred across a computer network from a server to a client by means of at least one router which forwards data. An electronic data request is sent from the client to the server via one or more routers. The server then sends electronic data to the client via one or more routers in response to said electronic data request. The electronic data is sent via a packet transfer protocol, in which each packet of data has associated with it a data field containing a value, which represents the commercial value of the requested data. Each router receives an incoming data packet, reads the value in the data field associated with the incoming data packet, calculates a new value based on the read value and the cost of forwarding the data packet, and forwards the data packet with the new value in the associated data field. Each router can check whether the value in the data field associated with the incoming data packet falls within predefined parameters and rejects the packet if the value falls outside the predefined parameters, for example if the value of the data is too high. Each router stores the accumulated value of received and forwarded data, so that payments may be made to the operator of the router.

Patent AU-5861898-A (AU)
Title: Method of producing a network
Inventor: ERNST VOLKER
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 1998-01-05
Abstract: A method for generating a network, in particular a telecommunications, water, long-distance heat supply, or power network, the network connecting all users to a main distribution node depending on the existing or definable local needs and requirements of the individual users. A graph is generated which is composed of edges and nodes. The graph includes all technically feasible and/or definable transmission paths of the network. The length and direction of the edges are derived from the real topography of the street segments and definable cable paths of the territory to be supplied by the network. The nodes form the intersections between the edges or streets and/or cable paths. The users are assigned to the graph in such a way that each user is connected to the closest edge or the closest node of the graph by an additional service edge. A tree structure is created by removing unnecessary edges from the graph in such a way that the service edges, edges, and nodes of the tree structure form only one connection between the main distribution node and each user. The load of the edges in the tree structure is determined depending on the needs and requirements of the users.
