Title: Hand-held exercise apparatus and resistance mechanism for exercise apparatus
Filed: 2011-05-19
Abstract: A hand-held exercise device comprises a frame, a handle attached to the frame, a spool element pivotally mounted to the frame, a pull-cord movable between a wound configuration in which the pull-cord is wound around the spool element and an unwound configuration in which the pull-cord is unwound from the spool element, a resistance element pivotally mounted to the frame, a transmission that couples the pull-cord to the resistance element such that pulling the pull-cord from the device causes the resistance element to rotate, and a damping means that acts to slow the rotation of the resistance element. The device provides a compact and lightweight form of exercise equipment that is easy to carry and easy to store. The device can be used with various fixtures, and also with a second handle fixed to the pull-cord, to allow the user to perform a wide range of exercises. Preferably the exercise device transmits exercise data to an external device that provides feedback and guidance to the user. A resistance mechanism for exercise apparatus allows a pull-cord to be coupled to a resistance element such that pulling the pull-cord from the mechanism causes the resistance element to rotate. A drive element is driven by a frictional force between the drive element and the pull-cord. The resistance element is coupled to the drive element by a transmission.

Title: Multi-reception communication system
Filed: 2012-01-10
Abstract: The invention is related to a communication system comprising a source node (S), a plurality of relay nodes (R1  ¦ Rn) and a central node (C). The relay nodes (R) each receive the same data (200) sent by the source node (S) and send the received data (200) to the central node (C). The transmission environment being such that the data (200) thus sent to the central node (C) may possibly be affected by an electromagnetic perturbation. Each relay node (R) is operable to send different portions of the same data (200) at a given time. The relay nodes (R) are configured to send blocks of data comprising different sub-blocks of data (ABCD, DABC, CDAB, BCDA) to the central node (C) at a given time. Cyclical interleaving of the sub-blocks of data is performed to ensure a maximum of robustness against electromagnetic perturbations occurring in an industrial environment.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/AU83/00035 Sec. 371 Date Nov. 1, 1983 Sec. 102(e) Date Nov. 1, 1983 PCT Filed Mar. 24, 1983 PCT Pub. No. WO83/03407 PCT Pub. Date Oct. 13, 1983.The invention relates to an improvement in a method of regenerating alkaline or alkaline earth metal oxides or hydroxides from solution particularly in delignification processes wherein a suitable transition metal such as ferric oxide is burnt with the solution to produce a mixed oxide that is subsequently treated in hot water to regenerate the alkaline or alkaline earth metal oxide or hydroxide and precipitate the transition metal oxide. The improvement controls the presence of fines in the transition metal oxide to maintain these at an acceptable level in the fluidized bed combustion zone. This is achieved by contacting the fines with spent liquor from a delignification process. The invention also provides for the pelletization of the fine material of the transition metal oxide and spent delignification liquor can be used as a binder in the formation of such pellets.
