Patent BR-9916269-A (BR)
Inventor: MAILHAN JEAN-CHRISTOPHE
IPC: C21C7/04
Filed: 1999-12-17
Abstract: The invention concerns a method which consists in injecting into a molten metal bath to be treated, jointly but separately into the same bath zone, oxygen and carbon in a form capable of being blown (powder carbon preferably) so as to generate locally in the bath CO bubbles from those two elements, which will then be loaded in denitriding nitrogen. A stoichiometric adjustment of the carbon and oxygen inputs enable a constant carbon denitriding in the bath. The method is preferably applicable to the production of low-carbon steel grades, in particular in an electric oven.

Title: Air sterilizer using ultra violet light
Inventor: ETIENNE VERON
IPC: G08B21/18
Filed: 1969-08-07
Abstract: The UV source is in a cabine with an air intake and a sterile air outlet, the air being circulated by a fan. A photo-resistor cell in the cabinet, either sensitive to ultra violet light or to the visible light from a fluorescent material used as a wavelength converter, is connected in series with a variable adjuster resistor and a neon tube of known striking voltage, e.g. 60V, direct to the equipment supply terminals. When the UV radiation falls below its effective level, the resistance of the cell falls to a point at which the voltage applied to the neon tube is sufficient to strike it.

Title: A control system for controlling operation of an ac/dc converter
Inventor: AINSWORTH JOHN DESMOND
IPC: H02M7/155
Filed: 2000-04-13
Abstract: An auxiliary control system 17 attenuates or suppresses of a non-characteristic harmonic component (such as a 3<SP>rd</SP> harmonic component) of voltage in an ac power system caused by operation of a 6 pulse or 12 pulse ac/dc converter 1. The converter comprises thyristors and is connected via transformer 2 to the ac power system which comprises an ac or Thevenin emf source 4, an impedance 5, and busbars 3. The auxiliary control system 17 is connected to a main control system 11 of the ac/dc converter or rectifier 1 providing firing pulses 10 for the converter. Input signal 19 derived from a measured value 13 of the harmonic component, is operated on by the auxiliary control system 17 to provide an output signal 16 which is added to a thyristor firing control signal 12 at a summing point 15 of the main control system 11 so that resultant thyristor firing pulses 10 therefrom modify operation of the converter to attenuate or suppress the harmonic component in the dc output of the converter and thereby cause attenuation or suppression of the harmonic component in the ac power system.

IPC: F16H59/54
Filed: 2001-11-28
Abstract: A method of preventing overspeeding of an engine and attached ancillary devices in a vehicle, eg track loader, includes inhibiting a gear change via an electronic control module. The gear change is inhibited if 1) a brake accumulator pressure in above a preselected value, 2) the vehicle ground speed is above a certain value, 3) an improper gear change is attempted and 4) a torque converter output speed is above a preselected value.

Title: Transmission power control in mobile telephone
Inventor: ROMAO FERNANDO
IPC: H03G3/30
Filed: 2002-08-08
Abstract: A mobile telephone 200 has a transmit/receive module 102, comprising at least one transmitting path 104 and at least one receiving path 103. These paths are coupled to a common antenna 101 via a duplexer 113, which separates the receiving and transmitting frequency bands, BFr, and BFe respectively, e.g. in GSM 935-960 and 890-915 MHz, in DCS 1805-1880, 1710-1785 MHz. Prior art control systems (fig. 1) derive a power control signal (Sc) from a monitoring signal (St) obtained from the transmission path 104 by a coupler (107). To avoid the need for a coupler (107), which is expensive and causes slight power loss in the transmitting signal (Se), the invention derives the control signal Sc from a residue signal Sr produced on the reception path 103 when the transmission signal Se passes through the duplexer 108. This residue signal Sr is identical to the monitoring signal (St) obtained with the coupler and can be can be used by the conventional power control device 205. The residue signal Sr is transferred to the power control device 205 by a conductive bridge 207 linking the receiving and transmission paths.103, 104. The duplexer 108 may be a field effect device or a quarter wavelength line device and the conductive bridge and receiving path may comprise filters 208 and 109 respectively.
