Title: Control System for an Agricultural Vehicle
Inventor: BYTTEBIER WARD M R
IPC: G05D13/62
Filed: 2006-07-14
Abstract: A control system for a hydrostatic transmission of an agricultural vehicle such as a combine harvester comprises a variable displacement hydrostatic pump and a hydrostatic motor. The control system comprises means 20 such as a sensor for determining the prevailing transmission ratio and a controller 16 for applying a demand signal to set the desired ratio of the hydrostatic transmission 12.

Title: Method And Apparatus For An Oval Carbonator
Inventor: ROMANYSZYN ADRIAN M
IPC: B01F3/04
Filed: 2005-02-10
Abstract: A method and corresponding apparatus for an oval carbonator employ an oblong housing to provide an improved gas/water interaction area within the confines of the carbonator. The increased cross sectional area provides a larger water surface area, whereby an increased amount of the pressurized gas is exposed to the increased surface area. Further advantages of the oval carbonator include a simplification of the tubing bundles that are cast into the cold plate. The oval carbonator consolidates the volumes previously used by the carbonator, thereby allowing the tubing bundles to be consolidated. Consolidation of this type translates into reduced manufacturing time and increased savings due to the simplified design.

Patent GB-2467159-A (GB)
Title: Delayed start grid-responsive load
Inventor: DAMES ANDREW NICHOLAS
IPC: H02J3/14
Filed: 2009-01-26
Abstract: A responsive load controller provides a variable automatic delay to the start of a process (such as charging the battery of an electric vehicle, running a dishwasher, an electric kiln...) dependant on locally monitored grid health (eg by tracking line frequency deviation). The response function may be dependent on a real time clock, or may be remotely altered. The time delay depends upon a frequency threshold vs time delay profile. Once the process has started, the load controller makes no attempt to affect the process irrespective of subsequent grid state. This permits a wide range of processes to be simply configured as responsive loads, without the complexity of adapting the process to consume a variable amount power or have variable timing of intermittent power usage as per prior art methods. This is especially significant in processes (eg washing, battery charging) that require a defined sequence and timing for optimum results.

Title: Current differential relay with gps synchronisation
Inventor: ADACHI KEIGO
IPC: H02H3/28
Filed: 2009-10-15
Abstract: An output unit (4) outputs a trip current for a power line protection relay based on current amount data obtained by sampling a current amount at a first and second end of a power line at a predetermined timing. A clock generating unit ( 8 ) generates a clock to be used as a reference for the predetermined timing. A receiving unit (12) receives a GPS signal and extracts a time synchronization signal from the GPS signal. A correction-signal generating unit (13) generates a correction signal for synchronizing the clock with the time synchronization signal. A correcting unit (9) corrects the clock with the correction signal. In case of a GPS signal receiving error, a stored value of the correction signal is used to correct the clock. The correction signal may also be converted to analogue.
