Abstract: The present invention concerns a multi-dosing detergent delivery device including a status indicator for providing an external indication of the internal status of the device. The indicator comprises a first element (140) internal to a main housing part (100) of the device and whose position is directly related to the status of the device and a second element (120) external of the main housing. The second element (120) and the first element (140) are linked together by means of magnetic attraction. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the first element (140) comprises a magnet and the second element (120) comprises a ferro-magnetic sphere, held within a transparent dome (110). The sphere (120) and dome (110) are mounted to the exterior of a main housing of the device and form an isolated sub-housing, whilst the magnet (140) is provided internally. Motion of the magnet (140) is translated to motion of the sphere (120) and a static scale adjacent to the path of movement of the sphere indicates the device status.

Title: System and method for achieving accelerated throughput
Inventor: WILLIAMS MATTHEW ROBERT
IPC: H04L47/43
Filed: 2009-08-18
Abstract: Systems and methods for transporting data between two endpoints over an encoded channel are disclosed. Data transmission units (data units) from the source network are received at an encoding component logically located between the endpoints.  These first data units are subdivided into second data units and are transmitted to the destination network over the transport network. Also transmitted are encoded or extra second data units that allow the original first data units to be recreated even if some of the second data units are lost. These encoded second data units may be merely copies of the second data units transmitted, parity second data units, or second data units which have been encoded using erasure correcting coding. At the receiving endpoint, the second data units are received and are used to recreate the original first data units.

Title: System and method of monitoring and quantifying performance of an automated manufacturing facility
Inventor: COCCO DENNIS P
IPC: G07C3/14
Filed: 2007-04-10
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method and system for identifying, quantifying and presenting to a user constraints in an automated manufacturing or processing facility. A data processing system continuously receives basic status signals and state signals from automation equipment in the facility and evaluates and processes these signals to derive a throughput capability measure (a measure of constraint) of each given manufacturing workstation in the process. The throughput capability measure is expressed as a ratio of an ideal cycle time to an accumulated overcycled time. The accumulated overcycled time includes only delays and excludes any speed-up of a workstation. A constraint is identified as the workstation that has the lowest throughput capability measure as compared with all other workstations in a production line. Preferably, throughput capability measures for all workstations are presented to users graphically. Further drill-down can be provided for obtaining more detailed information about the constraint and capacity loss as well as entering information relevant to the constraint, such as a stoppage or slow-down.

Title: High efficiency thermoelectric cooling system and method of operation
Inventor: PINET CLAUDE
IPC: H01L35/00
Filed: 2009-10-14
Abstract: A high efficiency thermoelectric cooling system and method is described. The cooling system comprises a thermoelectric module having a semi-conductor body sandwiched in contact between a pair of thermally conductive plates. A power supply having converter circuit means provides a smooth continuous variable output direct current supply to the semi-conductor body to attenuate thermal stress in the conductive plates due to temperature differential fluctuation across the plates. One of the plates is a cold plate and the other a hot plate caused by current flow in the semi-conductor body transferring heat from the cold plate to the hot plate. A cold heat sink is associated with the cold plate to absorb heat from the insulted enclosure to cool the enclosure. A heat convection assembly including a hot heat sink evacuates heat from the hot plate to effectively manage the temperature differential across the plates. A mounting assembly is adapted to secure the thermoelectric cooling device to a wall of the insulated enclosure with the heat convection means disposed exteriorly of the insulated enclosure. An air convection housing may b provided to evacuate heat from the hot heat sink using an outside air supply or ambient air supply and using fans and gates to displace and channel the air flow.

Inventor: PIENTKA ZBYNEK
IPC: B01D53/04
Filed: 2008-08-20
Abstract: A method of separation of hydrogen from gas mixtures consisting in that a gas mixture with any hydrogen content is introduced into a closed space, in which a polymer foam containing non-communicating pores is placed. Due to the fact that the hydrogen partial pressure in pores of the polymer foam is lower, hydrogen penetrates into the pores. Hence, the gas mixture leaving the closed space is deficient in the hydrogen. The inlet of the gas mixture into the closed space can be interrupted at the time when the leaving mixture has the same composition as the introduced gas mixture or earlier. Then the pressure in the closed space is decreased and, due to the leveling of its partial pressure, hydrogen is released from the polymer foam and can be received for further use. Its concentration is higher than in the starting gas mixture.
