Title: Capacitance measuring system
Inventor: BARNES CHRISTOPHER
IPC: G01N27/22
Filed: 1998-04-21
Abstract: A method or means, suitable for measuring electrical capacitance, includes monitoring one or more changes in the output signal form a quartz crystal or piezoelectric oscillator 3. The changes in the oscillator output signal may relate to a change in the capacitance of a capacitive item Cx connected to the oscillator and/or changes in the interconnection of the capacitive item Cx to the said oscillator 3. The monitored signal changes are then processed to derive an output signal with a value which directly or indirectly relates to the capacitance of the capacitive item Cx. Temperature 25 and humidity 26 compensation techniques may be employed to improve the accuracy of the measuring system. The capacitance measuring system may be used in an arrangement to monitor or test the dielectric state or electric field changes occurring within various fluids.

IPC: G05B23/02
Filed: 1999-06-09
Abstract: The system is used within a facility for the processing of material. The facility has a plurality of property detection devices, including devices for detecting level L11-3, pressure P11-3, and flow F11-4. Fault signals are produced by comparators when output signals from the detectors exceed predetermined levels. Control valves CV1-6, are activated automatically in response to fault conditions being detected. The computer system displays a matrix 401 relating detection devices (left hand side) to control devices (top), such that a condition of an intersection indicates an operating characteristic. A first condition of an intersection (such as an "A" 441-445 or a number 446-448) indicates an association to the effect that a control device will be activated in response to a fault signal from a particular detection means being generated, the numbers indicating the time delay before activation. A second condition of an intersection (shading) indicates that a fault signal has actually been generated and that an associated control device has been activated. Further indicators, 422, 451-452 indicate the device producing the fault signal and the activated valves.

Patent GB-2346040-A (GB)
Title: Method of slope detection in bursty RF signals
Inventor: BURRIS THOMAS F
IPC: G01R29/02
Filed: 1999-11-01
Abstract: A method for slope detection in RF signals in the presence of noise, for example on close GSM power bursts, looks at a cluster of power points to make a slope determination, as opposed to a simple change between points A and B, which is prone to noise errors. The slope detection is moved across the signal in order to find the rising and falling edges of the burst so that once these edges are determined, the burst is identified and extracted. Filtering or averaging is not needed and detection takes place only when the power is above a specified threshold.

Title: Electromagnetic-pneumatic positioning device.
Inventor: HAM DAVID MALCOLM
IPC: F01D25/16
Filed: 1999-12-14
Abstract: A rotatable shaft 10 of a gas turbine engine (65, Figure 4) is provided with a flange 14, positioned between the compressor and turbine (68, 70, Figure 4) of the engine. Flange 14 rotates in close proximity to a stator device 26 comprising poles 28, which exert an electromagnetic force to attract the flange. Additional axial forcing is provided by high pressure air from compressor 68, which is directed through a valve 44 onto a disk 16 on the opposite side of flange 14. Thus, axial movement of shaft 10 due pressure imbalances in the engine is opposed by a combination of electromagnetic and pneumatic means. Cooling air from compressor 68 is also directed into space 48 above shaft 10 via valve 50. Further embodiments (Figures 2 and 3) use dual arrangements of stators and pneumatic pressure forcing.

Abstract: 1339007 6-Disubstituted penicillins MERCK & CO Inc 30 April 1971 [16 June 1970] 29157/70 Heading C2A The invention relates to novel penicillin compounds having the general Formula I and the corresponding 1-sulphoxides, in which R 1 is a hydroxy or mercapto radical, a substituted or unsubstituted methoxy, ethoxy, methyl, ethyl, methylthio or ethylthio radical, a carbamoyloxy, carbamoylthio, C 1-6 alkanoyloxy, C 1-6 alkanoylthio, cyano, carboxy or substituted carboxy (e.g. carbamoyl) radical and Q is an azido, amino or acylamino radical; or R 1 is halogen and Q is azido; and R is an esterifying radical or, when Q is acylamino, is a hydrogen atom, a cation or an esterifying radical. The compounds are prepared by either (i) diazotizing the amino group of a 6-aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA) ester to give a compound of Formula IT wherein R is an esterifying group, the 1-sulphoxides of these compounds (II) being novel and forming part of the invention, and then subjecting the compound (II) to one or more of the reactions described below; or (ii) reacting a 6-APA ester with an aromatic aldehyde having at least one o- or p-electronegative substituent (e.g. NO 2 , CN alkoxycarbonyl, carbamoyl, or methylsulphonyl) to give an imine derivative of the 6-APA ester, reacting this derivative with a compound which introduces the group R 1 (as defined above) and subjecting the product to aminolysis or hydrazinolysis to give a 6-R 1 -6- amino penicillanic acid, the procedure (ii) being illustrated by the following reaction scheme in which R 8 is an esterifying group. In procedure (i) the diazo compound II is formed by a conventional diazotizing procedure. If the 1-sulphoxide is desired, the 6-APA ester may be subjected to a preliminary S-oxidation step e.g. with m-chloroperbenzoic acid. The diazo compound may then be reacted with: (a) a halo-azide (or another azide together with a source of positive halogen such as a bromoacylimide or -amide) to give the corresponding 6-halo-6-azido penicillanic ester which may be subsequently reacted with a nucleophilic reagent capable of replacing the halogen by R 1 ; the latter compound may optionally be subjected to reduction to convert the -N 3 group to -NH 2 , and this amino group may then be acylated; (b) trimethyl- or triethylboron followed by a halo-azide to produce the 6-methyl or -ethyl-6- azido compound; (c) trifluoromethyl iodide, with irradiation and in the presence of a trialkylammonium azide to give the 6-CF 3 -6-azido penicillanic ester. The penicillin compounds (I) have antibacterial activity and may be mixed with a carrier or diluent and made up into pharmaceutical compositions.
