Title: Dual vacuum trap freezer for the recovery of heavy water vapour in which air exists
Inventor: SHARAFI MOHAMMAD
IPC: B01D8/00
Filed: 2006-11-21
Abstract: A dual vacuum trap freezer (DVTF) for the recovery of heavy water (D2O) vapour in which air exists is located between a distillation plant and a high vacuum steam ejector. The dual vacuum trap freezer comprises twin alternating units 'A', 'B' for continuous operation of the recovery process. Each unit includes three complete refrigeration systems and a common vacuum chamber 13 divided into three zones. Each zone is associated with a group of refrigeration coils connected to one of the refrigeration systems and is equipped with a drain pan for condensate removal. The first zone (Zone no.1) comprises a group of dehumidifying coils; the second zone (Zone no.2) comprises a group of freezing coils; the third zone (Zone no.3) comprises a group of deep freezing coils. A static defrost system removes accumulated ice on the freezing coils and deep freezing coils. A daily heavy water condensate receiver 26 collects the condensate from each of the drain pans. An exit system returns the collected condensate under vacuum conditions to a main process line of the distillation plant. A control panel 50 optimises the operational conditions through the dual vacuum trap freezer. Preferably, the control panel comprises a direct digital control system with a microprocessor employing predetermined control algorithms.

Title: Antenna beam steering
Inventor: SHI FONG
IPC: H01Q1/18
Filed: 2005-11-22
Abstract: An antenna steering system is provided that includes a plurality of gyro sensors fixedly located in close proximity to an antenna, for example a phased array antenna. The gyro sensors measure angular rotation of the antenna about an X-axis of the antenna, about a Y-axis of the antenna and about a Z-axis of the antenna. The gyro sensors communicate the angular rotation measurement data to a beam steering phase controller (BSPhC). The BSPhC utilizes the angular rotation measurements to determine a predicted amount of movement, i.e. a change in geolocation and/or orientation, of the antenna within a specified time period. Based on the predicted amount of antenna movement, the BSPhC adjusts a beam pointing angle of the antenna, i.e. steers the antenna, to compensate for the predicted amount of movement.

Title: Obturator for laryngeal mask
Inventor: NASH JOHN EDWARD
IPC: A61M16/04
Filed: 2007-12-24
Abstract: The obturator 2 has a malleable tubular rod 20 with an expansible portion 24 of a foam at its patient end which fills the internal space 30 of the mask portion 14. The compressible nature of the foam 24 enables the obturator 2 to be pulled out of the laryngeal mask 1 after the mask has been inserted in the patient. Locking fitments 12 and 21 on the mask 1 and obturator 2 enable the obturator to be retained with the mask during insertion. Three fins 32 project from the outside of the obturator 2 and centre it towards the patient end of the mask 1.

Title: Thermal guard for an oven shelf
Inventor: UNWIN GUY DARELL
IPC: F16L59/02
Filed: 2008-05-29
Abstract: A thermal guard 1 comprises a tube slit linearly along its length in a sinusoidal 3 or dovetail (7, fig.4) pattern, so as to enable the thermal guard to be attached to an item which is to be thermally isolated. The thermal guard is also provided with a plurality of annular rings or radial fins (2, fig.2) arranged along the length of the tube so as to form an accordion or concertina-like pleated outer surface. This form of outer surface is designed to reduce the contact surface area and therefore minimise the heat transferred when the guard is touched by a person using the thermally isolated item. The guard can be made from a fluorosilicone polymer or other heat resistant insulating material. The guard may be formed integrally with the item to be protected, during its manufacture. Preferably, the thermal guard is used for thermally isolating an oven shelf 5, where the tube is of sufficient length to fit over the front bar 4 and support bars 6 forming parts of the shelf. In use, the thermal guard is designed to reduce or prevent personal injury by thermally isolating the front bar of an oven shelf.

Title: Improvements in or relating to shell moulding sand
IPC: B22C1/22
Filed: 1955-04-06
Abstract: A resin coated free-flowing sand is made by mixing in the absence of a condensation catalyst, a heat stable resin and a mass of sand heated sufficiently to cause said resin to coat the individual sand grains, mixing a second batch of sand, a condensation catalyst and a second resin capable of ready condensation when heated in the presence of said catalyst, said second mixing operation being conducted at a temperature too low to permit substantial condensation of said second resin, and mixing the two sand/resin mixtures while the heated mixture retains a substantial amount of heat.

Title: Omni-directional radio beacon
IPC: G01S1/02
Filed: 1945-04-20
Abstract: 606,264. Cathode-ray oscillographs; current and voltage measuring apparatus. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES, Ltd. April 20, 1945, No. 10044. Convention date, April 26, 1944. [Class 37] [Also in Groups XXXVIII and XL (c)] A rotating beacon radiates pairs of pulses, the spacing between which varies continuously with direction. In the transmitter, Fig. 2, a directional aerial 41 mounted on a reflector 42 is continuously rotated by a motor 31. A generator 7 producing a sine wave 8 feeds a pair of rectifier valves 12 the grids of which are connected to brushes 19, 20 rotated by the motor at half the speed of the aerial, the brushes moving in opposite directions over resistances 23, 24 connected between ground 25 and the positive and negative ends, respectively, of a potentiometer 28, 29 the midpoint of which is grounded at 30. As the brushes rotate, the rectifier becomes unbalanced and the biassing level 33 shifts to produce a wave-form 34 which is clipped at 36 producing pairs of pulses of varying spacing which are converted into square form 37 for transmission. In the receiver, Fig. 3, the detected pulses are tested for correct width by a circuit 50 in the manner described in Specification 592,789, [Group XL], to eliminate interference and passed through a limiter and shaper 52 and a differentiator 55 to filters 56, 57 which select odd and even harmonics of the fundamental pulse-recurrence frequency. The amplitudes of these harmonics vary with the change in spacing according to sine and cosine laws respectively and the rectified outputs of filters 56, 57 are fed to pairs of coils 61, 63 of a resultant field instrument of the kind described in Specification 597,584, [Group XXXVIII], a bar magnet 65 indicating the direction of the receiver from the transmitter. Since the beacon rotates relatively slowly and the indicator is only energized at relatively long intervals the magnet 65 is held fixed between signals by a magnetic ring 69 energized by winding 72 of an electromagnet 70 and is released on the arrival of signals by energization of an opposing winding 71. In an alternative receiver, Fig. 5, using a cathode-ray tube indicator, currents at the pulse recurrence frequency are fed in quadrature to the two sets of deflecting plates to provide a circular scan. The received pulses are applied to the control electrode 95 and also to the deflecting plates so that at each pulse the beam moves to the centre and out again to produce a bright line 99, the two pulses of a pair producing lines 99, 100 symmetrically spaced about the reference position.. The lower half of the screen may be covered by a mask 101 to provide a single indication only. The double indication may be used for calibration purposes by adjusting the phase of the deflecting voltages so that the two sets of lines produce equal angles on either side of the reference line 55 and coalesce to a single line when the beam is in the reference direction.

Abstract: 218,036. Carter, R. April 14, 1923. Rotary strainers for paper pulp are built up of rings or hoops b supported by rods c and clamped between end dises d, so as to form straining slits which extend round the strainer. The rings b may be spaced by collars on the rods c, which may pass through lugs on the rings ; or distance pieces may be formed on the rings themselves, or the rings may lie in notches in the rods. For an outward-flow strainer the rings are so formed that the slits taper inwards : for an inward-flow strainer they taper outwards. The rings may be in segments joined together, and two or more may be joined together at intervals by connecting means within the strainer. The strainer may be kept clear by means of water jets, and mechanical clearing-means may be provided. Such means may comprise thin metal blades h on a rod g supported on brackets f. The blades may enter the slits between the rings under gravity, or the rod g may be turned by a cam disc on the end of the strainer.
