Patent AU-2006314278-B2 (AU)
Title: Pressure exchanger
Inventor: THOMAS ANDREWS WILLIAM
IPC: F04B19/00
Filed: 2006-11-14
Granted: 2011-08-11
Abstract: There is disclosed a pressure vessel (1) provided with a first port (10) acting as a high pressure inlet of a first stream and a second port (11) acting as a high pressure outlet. A rotatable valve element (9) is located in the centre of the machine and includes a centre plate (19), which is utilized to separate high pressure streams. At each end of the valve element (9) are valves. The valves ensure that as the valve element (9) rotates the exchange ducts (3a and 3b) are either both isolated or that one is exposed to high pressure while the other is exposed to low pressure. In operation, a fluid stream is introduced to the machine at high pressure through port (10) and flows around the outside of the exchange duct (3b) towards the centre of the machine. The stream then flows downwardly to the valve element (9), where it then passes through the open ports of the valve element (9) and into flow distributor (6). The stream then passes into and upwardly in the exchange duct (3 a), causing upward displacement of the duct piston (4a), resulting in the pressurization and flow of the second fluid above the duct piston (4a). The second fluid then flows into the upper flow distributor (5), into the valve element (9), and then downwardly and finally between the exchange duct (3a) and out through the high pressure port (11). At the same time a fluid stream is introduced to the machine at low pressure through port (16). This flows into the valve element (9 ) and then into the flow distributor (5). From the flow distributor (5) it flows and downwardly into the pressure exchange duct (3b), causing downward displacement of duct piston (4b) and resulting in flow of the first fluid below the duct piston (4b), which then flows into the lower flow distributor (6), into the valve element (9), and then out of the lower sealing plate (8) at port (15).

Title: Load control device having a variable drive circuit
Inventor: HAUSMAN DONALD F JR
IPC: H05B37/02
Filed: 2007-04-05
Granted: 2011-06-02
Abstract: A load control device for controlling the amount of power delivered to an electrical load from a source of AC power comprises a controllably conductive device and a variable gate drive circuit. The controllably conductive device is coupled in series electrical connection between the source and the electrical load to control the amount of power delivered to the load. The variable drive circuit is thermally coupled to the controllably conductive device and provides a continuously variable impedance in series with the control input of the controllably conductive device. The impedance of the variable drive circuit is operable to decrease as a temperature of the controllably conductive device increases and vice versa. Preferably, the variable drive circuit comprises an NTC thermistor. Accordingly, the switching times of the controllably conductive device, i.e., the times when the controllably conductive device is changing between the conductive and non-conductive states, remain constant, or alternatively decrease, as the temperature of the controllably conductive device increases.
