Patent GB-2321179-A (GB)
Title: Adjustable drip-feed head for a coffee maker
Inventor: GOWERS LAURA PATRICIA
IPC: A47J31/44
Filed: 1998-01-12
Abstract: A drip-feed head for a beverage-making appliance such as a coffee maker is described in which the flavour of the beverage is user-adjustable. Heated water for the beverage is arranged to fall upon a slotted plate (10) which overlies, and can rotate relative to, a fixed plate (15). The fixed plate is apertured, being formed either with slots (16, 17, 18) or with arrays of individual holes and the arrangement is such that respective ones of the slots (12,13,14) in the rotatable plate overly the apertures in the fixed plate at different radii depending on the relative rotational positions of the two plates. By this means, the water can be caused to eat the lower, fixed plate at said different radii and thus to impact upon different regions of a brewing station disposed beneath the lower plate.

Title: Filter cartridge containing pleated filter element with projecting ribs
Inventor: BARRINGTON ROSS BRYAN
IPC: B01D29/11
Filed: 1998-01-22
Abstract: A filter cartridge comprises an annular pleated filter element 3 the walls of the pleats of which are indented to provide projections, or elongate ribs 5, in the outwardly opening pockets 4 and corresponding recesses in the inwardly opening pockets 6. The ends of the pleats at at least one end of the element are sealed by moulding into an annular end plate of elastomeric material 8, with an annular projection 9 which is arranged to seal against a collection pipe 10A, 10B of the filter. Projections on adjacent faces of adjacent pleats engage one another in order to increase the spacing apart of the other pleats (fig 2). This allows the pleats to have greater radial extent, causing dirt to be deposited evenly on the surfaces of the outwardly projecting pleats. The elastomeric material of the end plates may have a Shore hardness of less than 60, and the filter cartridge may be used to clean the working liquid recirculated form an electric discharge cutting machine.

Title: A voice activated telephone apparatus with speech recognition during ringing
Inventor: RYU YEOUNG-MOO
IPC: G10L15/00
Filed: 1998-04-08
Abstract: The recognition of voice commands in a hands-free telephone is improved by generating a ringing sound having a frequency of 1800 to 2200 HZ and separating this sound from any voice commands received by the microphone using a filter having an appropriate cut-off frequency. Voice recognition may also be improved by changing the duty cycle of the ringing signal such that the ringer is only active for 0.5 seconds and is silent for 5.5 seconds.

Title: Remote reboot of hung systems in a data processing system
Inventor: ORR FRANCIS MARTIN
IPC: G06F11/14
Filed: 1998-08-22
Abstract: A data processing system comprises a bus network (136, Figure 2) interconnecting a data processor (133) and one or more adapter cards (137). The data processor bypasses initialisation of the adapter cards in response to a user indication entered 308 prior to said initialisation. This allows the system to be booted even in the event of an adapter card failure which causes the system to bang during initialisation. The data processing system also enters a setup routine allowing the user to disable one or more of the adapter cards. The user indication may be entered at a remote computer where the data processing system is connected as a client computer to a server computer system by a network.

Title: Preventing generation of X-rays and overvoltages in cathode ray tube circuits
Inventor: PARK JEONG HOON
IPC: H04N3/18
Filed: 1998-11-19
Abstract: Power supply voltages B+,B2+ and a high voltage H/V are produced for a CRT from an AC source and a transformer T1. A control loop includes an optocoupler PD1,PT1 and controller 15. If the high voltage H/V becomes high enough to produce excessive X-radiation, or voltages B+,B2+ exceed preset levels, a thyristor SCR1 is turned on, resulting in a higher signal through the optocoupler, which is sufficient to turn off the power supply to the transformer T1.

Title: Purification of phosphoric acid by means of organic solvents
IPC: C01B25/46
Filed: 1974-06-16
Abstract: 1463742 Phosphoric acid purification HOECHST AG 14 June 1974 [4 July 1973] 26472/74 Heading C1A Impure aqueous phosphoric acid is purified by mixing with an organic solvent in which it is soluble and which is immiscible or partially miscible with water, in a ratio by volume in the range 1 : 0À3 to 1 : 30; the solvent has a boiling point higher than that of water if no water/ solvent azeotrope is formed or if an azeotrope is formed higher than that of the resulting water/ solvent azeotrope and the phosphoric acid/ solvent mixture is heated to a temperature between the boiling point of water or of the azeotrope and that of the solvent to distil off the water present in the phosphoric acid/solvent solution followed by separation of the solid residue and the resulting anhydrous phosphoric acid/organic solvent mixture and recovery of the purified phosphoric acid in the form of the free acid or its salts. Preferably crude phosphoric acid from conduit 1 is admixed with scrubbed raffinate (recycled through conduit 17) and sulphuric acid (from conduit 2) is mixed with circulated solvent in a reactor A. A sodium compound, for example sulphate, hydroxide, phosphate or carbonate, is added through conduit 3 and a 20 wt. per cent solution of Na 2 S and active carbon are added from conduits 4 and 5 to effect precipitation of heavy metals and adsorb organic impurities. Pure water or azeotrope distils over at 10 and is cooled in condenser D or if an azeotrope separated into its components in a separator E. In the latter case the solvent is recycled through conduit 12 into the reactor A whereas the aqueous phase by way of conduits 13, 14 and 15 is used partially for scrubbing the organic solvent/phosphoric acid solution in B and partially for the reextraction of phosphoric acid in C by a multistage counter-flow scrubbing operation. The solvent by way of conduit 16, is recycled to the reactor A. Scrubbed raffinate, flowing through conduit 17 is recycled to A and extracted anew with solvent. Useful solvents include organic substances which are immiscible or partially miscible with water e.g. butanol, amyl alcohol, ethylhexanol, dibutylether, methylisobutyl ketone, butyl acetate or tributyl phosphate.

Patent IL-64934-A (IL)
Title: Apparatus and method for the control of feedwater to a steam generator in a nuclear reactor
IPC: F22D5/26
Filed: 1982-02-04
Abstract: Excessive swing of the feedwater (31) in power supply apparatus on the occurrence of a transient is suppressed by injecting an anticipatory compensating signal (ΔW<sub>fw</sub>) into the control for the feedwater. Typical overshoot occurs on removal of a large part of the load, the steam flow is reduced so that the conventional control system reduces the flow of feedwater. At the same time there is a reduction of feedwater level in the steam generator (13.15) because of the collapse of the bubbles (125) under increased steam pressure. By the time the control responds to the drop in level, the apparatus has begun to stabilize so that there is overshoot. The anticipatory signal is derived from the boiling power (BP) which is a function of the nuclear power (2N) developed, the enthalpy of saturated water (h<sub>.</sub>) and the enthalpy of the feedwater injected into the steam generator (h<sub>fw</sub>). From the boiling power (BP) and the increment in steam pressure resulting from the transient an anticipatory increment of feedwater flow is derived. Thus increment is added to the other parameters controlling the feedwater.
