Patent NO-20032359-D0 (NO)
Inventor: TESAR MICHAEL G
IPC: F23G7/06
Filed: 2003-05-26
Abstract: A control system for a regenerative thermal oxidizer in which contaminated air is first passed through a hot heat-exchange bed and into a communicating high temperature oxidation (combustion) chamber, and then through a relatively cool second heat exchange bed. The apparatus includes a number of internally insulated, ceramic filled heat recovery columns topped by an internally insulated combustion chamber. Contaminated air is directed into heat exchange media in one of said columns, and oxidation is completed as the flow passes through the combustion chamber. From the combustion chamber, the now clean air flows through another column containing heat exchange media, thereby storing heat in the media for use in a subsequent inlet cycle when the flow control valves reverse. The resulting clean air is directed via an outlet valve through an outlet manifold and released to atmosphere or is recirculated back to the oxidizer inlet. A combustible fuel such as natural gas is added to the inlet-contaminated air prior to its entry into the hot heat exchange column when the contaminant concentration in the contaminated air falls below a predetermined level. The oxidizer is preferably integrated with a web dryer, such that hot aire from the combustion chamber is supplied to the dryer.

Title: Electric power demand management
Filed: 2011-04-27
Abstract: A low voltage circuit of an electrical supply network comprises plural intelligent sockets 20 that are monitored to determine which sockets are in use. The overall load demand from a network section is monitored and when it exceeds a threshold those intelligent sockets that are in use are cyclically disconnected and connected. The network can comprise a substation 11 and demand management controller 14 that monitors the intelligent sockets and the load demand on a low voltage cable 12 connecting the sockets to the sub-station. Intelligent sockets (fig 3) can comprise contacts 21 for connecting a load such as an electric vehicle charger, a switch 23 to connect or disconnect the socket form the supply, a use monitor 22 to detect whether a load is connected; and a controller 24 to communicate with a remote demand management unit to control the switch. The intelligent socket controller can be linked to the demand management unit 14 via communications link 16 that can use power line carrier signals. Intelligent sockets can be provided for high load appliances only; receive an equal connection time and be disconnected sequentially in turn, and in groups. The cycle can be varied depending on the unrestricted use of sockets prior to cyclical disconnection and connection.

Title: Improvements to thermodynamic solar heat transfer systems
Filed: 2012-11-02
Abstract: The building hot water system comprises a heat pump having a heat exchange panel 1a arranged to extract heat from an environment, preferably ambient air 8 outside the building 7. The heat pump also includes a compressor 2, condenser and refrigerant diverter such as a four-way valve 60. The condenser is preferably a water tank 100 heated by hot refrigerant received from the compressor via a first coil in the tank. Hot water 5b for taps may be heated by passing cold water 5c through a second coil 40 in an upper portion of the tank. The tank ideally includes a central heating water inlet 5 and outlet 5a. If ice or snow accumulates on the panel the four-way valve can be controlled by an electronic control unit (ECU) 90 to effectively reverse the flow of refrigerant through piping 21 so that hot refrigerant is supplied to the panel to defrost it. The ECU may control defrosting based upon readings taken by temperature 70 and humidity 80 sensors. An alternative embodiment is also claimed whereby the panel is located in another area or room of the building, the other area typically requiring cooling, such as a larder (8a, figure 6).

Title: Video-based detection of multiple object types under varying poses
IPC: G06V10/44
Filed: 2012-04-13
Abstract: Training data object images are clustered as a function of motion direction attributes and resized from respective original into same aspect ratios. Motionlet detectors are learned for each of the sets from features extracted from the resized object blobs. A deformable sliding window is applied to detect an object blob in input by varying window size, shape or aspect ratio to conform to a shape of the detected input video object blob. A motion direction of an underlying image patch of the detected input video object blob is extracted and motionlet detectors selected and applied that have similar motion directions. An object is thus detected within the detected blob and semantic attributes of an underlying image patch extracted if a motionlet detectors fires, the extracted semantic attributes available for use for searching for the detected object.

Title: Apparatus and method for continuous casting of metallic strands at exceptionally high speeds using oscillating mold assembly
Inventor: SHINOPULOS GEORGE
IPC: B22D11/14
Filed: 1981-06-04
Granted: 1985-06-20
Abstract: An oscillating cooled mold assembly for the continuous high-speed casting of metallic strands, (12) especially upcasting strands of copper alloys such as brass, has a hollow die (112) in fluid communication with a melt (14) typically held in a casting furnace (16). coolerbody surrounds the die in a tight-fitting relationship to form a solidification front in the melt as it advances through the casting zone of the die. During assembly, the die is preferably slip fit in the coolerbody (103). A shoulder on the die engages a lower face of the coolerbody (103) and, together with a small irregularity on the upper coolerbody wall, prevents any axial movement of the die before it thermally expands against the coolerbody. An insulating member (118) located between the die and the coolerbody and below the solidification front fixes the location of the front within a dimensionally uniform area of the die. The insulating member is preferably a ring of a material such as casting silica that has a low coefficient of thermal expansion, a low porosity, and is highly resistant to thermal shock. The insulating member (118) also preferably creates a steep longitudinal temperature gradient at its upper end to promote a high cooling rate over a relatively short casting zone. An insulating hat encloses the coolerbody, allowing it to be immersed in the melt and preferably deeply immersed to a level above the casting zone The strand or rod formed from the solidified melt is pulled through the die while the mold oscillates in a direction substantially parallel to the direction of travel of the rod.

Title: Hydrocarbon-hydrogenation process
Inventor: SCHLEPPINGHOFF BERNHARD DR
IPC: C10G25/02
Filed: 1982-07-03
Granted: 1985-06-05
Abstract: Unsaturated hydrocarbons and mixtures in which the latter are present are treated with anion exchangers prior to hydrogenation and are then hydrogenated catalytically in a known manner. The treatment with anion exchangers is carried out at 0 DEG -120 DEG  C. and at a space velocity of 0.1 to 10 l of hydrocarbons to be hydrogenated per l of exchanger, per hour. The process avoids other, energy-intensive pretreatments, for example distillation of the hydrocarbons to be hydrogenated, or washing, and can be carried out in simple equipment. A considerable prolongation of the catalyst operating time is achieved in the subsequent catalytic hydrogenation.

Title: Apparatus for determining an electrical characteristic of a fibrous dispersion
Inventor: EVANS BRIAN EDWARD
IPC: G01N27/07
Filed: 1982-11-04
Granted: 1987-06-04
Abstract: In the formation of a paper web from stock fed to a Foudrinier wire, the Zeta Potential is an important parameter. A measure of Zeta potential is made by measuring the streaming potential developed in a vertically-arranged cell having a horizontal mesh therein on the underside of which a pad of fibres and fines is formed by pumping stock into the lower part of the cell. Electrodes located in the cell above and below the pad are used to obtain a measure of streaming potential at a given pressure differential across the pad. A pressure transducer is mounted in the lower part of the cell. Corrections are made for temperature and conductivity by sensors in the stock feed path to the cell. A microprocessor control and measuring circuit is disclosed which sequences valves for controlling the flow of stock and flushing fluid to the cell and which measures the relevant parameters.
