Patent EP-0884665-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SHINAGAWA MISATO
IPC: C01B13/11
Filed: 1998-06-12
Abstract: The invention provides an ozone generator controlling
apparatus capable of controlling an ozone generator so that when
a discharge breakdown occurs in some discharge element, the
operation of generating ozone can be continued without imposing
a bad influence on the remaining normal discharge elements. When
an anomaly occurs in one of or a plurality of discharge elements
during the operation of generating ozone, the anomaly is detected
by an anomaly detection means. In response to the detection of
the anomaly, first output control means reduces the output of
an AC power supply circuit to a sufficiently low level so that
after the discharge element having the anomaly is isolated from
the circuit the operation of generating ozone can be continued
with the remaining normal discharge elements without
interruption and without causing the normal discharge elements
to encounter an overload current thus preventing them from being
broken one after another.

Abstract: A spacecraft (18) for deployment in geosynchronous orbit about the Earth (20),
comprising six face panels (21-30) which enclose a compartment containing electronic
powering components mounted on the interior surfaces thereof. The panels include
opposed north-facing (21) and south-facing (22) panels which do not undergo sun-exposure
remain cool and provide safe interior surfaces for the electronic powering
components mounted thereon, and four side panels (24-30) which are successively rotated
into diurnal sun-exposure attitude during which their temperature normally rises so
excessively as to damage electronic powering components mounted on the interior
surfaces thereof. The invention comprises providing the east-facing (28) and west-facing
(30) panels with at least one continuous circulation system (40) containing a heat
exchange fluid which absorbs heat from the one of said panels undergoing sun exposure
and circulates it to the other of said panels to moderate the temperature of the east-facing
(28) and west-facing (30) panels. This prevents heat damage to electronic powering
components mounted on the interior surfaces of the east and west panels, whereby the
total interior surface area of the panels available for the safe mounting of the components
is substantially increased.

treatment in a aeration tank 10, and then the treated
mixture is solid-liquid separated in a solid-liquid
separation device 3. A portion of an excess sludge
separated in the solid-liquid separation device 3 is
solubilized at a high temperature in a solubilization
device 6 and the solution after a solubilization
treatment is returned to the denitrification device 9
and a gas exhausted from the solubilization device 6 is
charged into the nitrification device 8.

Abstract: Preparation of a collagen-based composition comprises grinding collagen fibres to a size of 10-100 mu m and then mixing with sufficient water to give a gel. The weight ratio of collagen to water is preferably 1-2:98-99. A polysaccharide is also included (preferably 0.1-0.85 wt.% of guar or xanthan gums). The collagen is from animal, mammal or fish sources, obtained by treating crude material with sodium hydroxide and an enzyme (e.g. a pepsin). The material is then further ground, optionally using a cryogenic method in liquid nitrogen. Formation of the gel is effected by the user, who mixes the powdered collagen, optionally with a polysaccharide, with water to form the gel. If desired an active material (e.g. vitamins, trace elements and plant extracts) can be added.

Inventor: SUTTON STEPHEN P
IPC: F16F1/37
Filed: 1998-05-29
Abstract: A new composite damping material is presented which exhibits an enhanced ability to dampen mechanical oscillations. The enhanced damping properties of this material are achieved through the entrapment of highly viscous damping fluids within the pores of a porous material (such as: an expanded polymer, felt, foam, fabric, metal, etc.). The entrapment of the fluid within the porous scaffold prevents flow, providing a stable composite which may be shaped into useful articles. Such a construct allows utilization of the high performance damping properties of fluids which, in pure form, are too fluid-like for most practical applications (which typically require a solid, stable, material). This composite, possessing damping performance approaching that of certain fluids, combined with stability in a solid form, can be used in many applications where materials are needed to damp the vibration of mechanical systems. Such applications include, but are not limited to, damping of vibrations which produce noise or degrade performance in airplanes, automobiles, space structures, machine tools, sporting goods, disk drive components and assemblies, electrical/electronic components such as transformers, electrical cables, etc. In addition, these composites may be used to alter or tune the mechanical response of a variety of systems to produce desired impulse or vibrational response.

Abstract: The hearing aid system includes a hearing aid case which is designed to be positioned behind the ear of a user, a tube for conducting sound from the case to the ear canal of the user, and an eartip for anchoring the end of the tube within the ear canal of the user. The tube is formed in a preformed shape of a material with sufficient rigidity to support the hearing aid in a proper position on the user's ear. The eartip may be one of several different designs which secures an end of the tube in place in the ear canal in a comfortable manner without the need for an expensive custom made ear mold and without complete occlusion of the ear canal. A combination of the light weight and small size of the case, the rigidity of the preformed tube, and one of the eartips for anchoring the tube in the ear canal allow the system to be held in place securely without the need for either an inflexible and aesthetically unpleasing ear hook or an expensive custom made ear mold.
