Abstract: An apparatus for tribocharging particles of electrically insulating material s has a rotatable drum (1), made of a metallic material, for containing the particles. The drum has an inlet (11), for charging material, and an outlet (13), for discharging material. The drum further has means (7) for rotating the drum about an axis of rotation, the orientation of the axis of rotation being such that, in operation of the apparatus, the particles tumble against  each other and against the walls of the vessel, thereby becoming tribocharge d. A fines removal mesh screening means (10) is attached to an outer surface of  the drum, allowing fines to escape from the drum. An electrostatic separatio n tower (20), having tapering walls and at least one pair of electrodes (24) arranged on opposite walls of the tower, is aligned to receive discharged material from the drum.

Title: Process for the production of hard metal granulate
Inventor: KNUNZ GERHARD
IPC: C22C29/08
Filed: 2002-03-08
Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the production of a hard metal granulate involving wet milling and spray drying in a spray tower (1) using pure water as the liquid phase.    The essential characteristic of the invention is that the spray tower (1) is designed and operated in such a way that the ratio of the quantity of water added via the slurry (in liters per hour) to tower volume (in m3) is between 0.5 and 1.8 and in that a maximum of 0.17 kg of slurry is atomized per m3 of incoming drying gas, whereby the slurry has a solid particle concentration within a range of 65 - 85 % by weight.   Under the conditions described above, the addition of a water-soluble, long-chain polyglycol to the slurry prior to spraying ordinarily required in order to prevent oxidation of the hard metal granulate is no longer necessary.

Title: Automated data collection for consumer driving-activity survey
Inventor: SHABABB GEORGE A
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2000-04-24
Abstract: Consumer driving-activity market research information may be obtained by selecting panelists to form a consumer driving-activity panel. At least one trackable motor vehicle and at least one consumer driver who has use of the vehicle are associated with each panelist of the panel. The trackable motor vehicles associated with the panel provide representatives from a varied plurality of vehicle-classification categories and the consumer drivers associated with the panel provide representatives from a varied plurality of demographic categories. For each panelist, panelist attribute data including vehicle-classification data and driver demographic data are stored in a data processing system. During trip portions of a sample group of trip portions, time-annotated vehicle-location data approximately tracking the movement of each trackable motor vehicle are generated automatically by means of automatic vehicle-location tracking gear on the vehicle. The time-annotated vehicle-location data associated with a trip portion are stored and analyzed to generate a set of vehicle-use data for the trip portion which includes data encoding the date, the time of day, the duration, the starting point and destination coordinates, the distance driven, and a representative speed. Trip-portion vehicle-use data for the sample group of trip portions driven by the vehicle are associated in the data processing system with elements of panelist attribute data concerning the panelist with which the motor vehicle is associated. To obtain the desired consumer driving-activity market research information, trip-portion vehicle-use data and associated panelist attribute data are analyzed statistically over a survey group of panelists of the consumer driving-activity panel.

Title: Germicidal lamp and purification system having turbulent flow
Inventor: PIROVIC ARPAD
IPC: A61L9/20
Filed: 2003-01-09
Abstract: A germicidal lamp (10; 110; 210) having a non-uniform contour increasing turbulence. An ultraviolet fluorescent lamp used in a purification system having a helical groove (14) increasing turbulence of the fluid flow. The non-uniform contour may be placed directly on the tubular envelope forming the lamp or may be formed on a separate envelope (12) enclosing a conventional cylindrical tubular germicidal lamp (16).

IPC: B63G8/00
Filed: 2003-08-12
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for supplying and maintaining structural facilities (20, 21, 22) on the sea (100). Owing to poor weather conditions, it is very often impossible to supply such structural facilities (20, 21, 22) with material, and to maintain them.

An apparatus (1) which has a connecting channel (2) is used for carrying out the method. The free end (2A) of the connecting channel (2) is arranged in the water, and can be connected to an entry/exit tower (8) on an underwater vehicle (9). The second end (2B) of the connecting channel (2) is installed such that it opens into a region which is located above the water of a structural facility (20, 21, 22).

Title: Optimization of reservoir, well and surface network systems
Inventor: FLYNN JAMES J
IPC: E21B41/00
Filed: 2002-02-04
Abstract: A method and associated apparatus continuously optimizes reservoir, well and surface network systems by using monitoring data and downhole control devices to continuously change the position of a downhole intelligent control valve (ICV) (12) until a set of characteristics associated with the "actual"  monitored data is approximately equal to, or is not significantly different than, a set of characteristics associated with "target" data that is provided by a reservoir simulator (32). A control pulse (18) having a predetermined signature is transmitted downhole thereby changing a position of the ICV. In response, a sensor (14) generates signals representing "actual" monitoring data. A simulator (32) which models a reservoir layer provides "target" data.  A computer apparatus (30) receives the "actual" data and the "target" data and, when the "actual" data is not approximately equal to the "target" data, the computer apparatus (30) executes a "monitoring and control process"  program code which changes the predetermined signature of the control pulse to a second and different predetermined signature. A new pulse having the second predetermined signature is transmitted downhole and the above process repeats until the "actual" data received by the computer apparatus (30) is approximately equal to the "target" data.
