Title: Estimation of the state of charge of a positive electrolyte solution of a working redox flow battery cell without using any reference electrode
Inventor: SPAZIANTE PLACIDO MARIA
IPC: H01M8/04
Filed: 2013-05-16
Granted: 2018-04-26
Abstract: A measure of the state of charge of the positive electrolyte solution of a working redox flow battery without using a reference electrode is obtained by using an undivided cell assembly comprising a stable electro catalytic metal electrode and a porous carbon base counter-electrode, immersed in the positive electrolyte solution of an all vanadium battery. In the interval between about 0.35V and 0.45V, a spread out of the voltage- current characteristic curves is at maximum of amplitude and allows an excellent discrimination of the state of oxidation of vanadium by locating the point on the voltage-current plane, on which the characteristic curves at different known degrees of oxidation have been recorded during a calibration work carried out on the specific undivided cell sensor to be used thereafter for monitoring the state of charge of the positive electrolyte solution. In operation, the undivided cell sensor immersed at any desirable point of the positive electrolyte circuit is constantly supplied at a controlled fixed DC bias voltage between the positive metal electrode and the porous carbon counter-electrode by an appropriate voltage regulator of adequate power capability, or cyclically at two or more different voltages, all within a range that includes the region between 0.35V and 0.45V, measuring simultaneously the current flowing across the undivided cell sensor at the fixed voltage or voltages bias. By correlating the paired voltage and current values, using a look up table compiled at calibration, estimated values of the degree of oxidation or state of charge of the redox ion couple of the positive electrolyte solution are produced.

Filed: 2014-04-08
Granted: 2018-04-05
Abstract: A multi component or multi layered wall structure is provided to attenuate noise transmission through the wall 5 structure which is typically used as a dividing wall or party wall between two adjacent rooms. The wall structure has two internal wall components, one of which is typically a steel stud wall and the other a building panel, typically, an autoclaved aerated concrete panel 10 arranged to extend from floor to ceiling in approximate alignment with each other. A first lining in the form of a board, such as one or more sheets of fire rated plasterboard, is attached to the outer surface of the stud wall to form one outer surface covering of the wall 15 structure facing into one room. The first lining does not extend from floor to ceiling but rather terminates near to the ceiling so that the stud wall has a covered part and an uncovered part. A similar second lining of plasterboard is attached to the outer surface of the 20 building panel to form the other outer surface of the wall structure facing into the other room. Again, the lining terminates short of the ceiling. Even though the two linings on either side of the wall structure do not extend entirely from floor to ceiling, the wall structure is 25 compliant with the relevant building codes with respect ot sound transmission therethrough. The wall structure has optional other components such as one or more gaps or spaces, and additional layers of the same or different materials. The advantage of the wall structure is that it 30 is less costly and time consuming to build. 52800761 (GHMatters) P92694.AU.2 8/04/14 \ 28 181 36/

Title: Liner for cryogenic treatment systems
Inventor: BURNETT DANIEL R
IPC: A61B18/24
Filed: 2014-09-12
Granted: 2018-06-28
Abstract: Liners for cryogenic treatment systems are described where a cryogenic fluid or gas may be introduced into a liner expanded within a body lumen such as the uterine cavity. The liner may be intentionally sized to be substantially larger than the typical size of the uterine cavity, e.g., 1.2 times (or more), greater than the size of the uterine cavity into which the liner is inserted. Because the liner is sized intentionally larger than the body lumen to be treated, the liner may never fully expand when deployed. But even with folds or portions of the liner being folded upon itself, the liner may remain sufficiently supple such that the resulting uncontrolled folds allow for complete conformance of the liner against the anatomy of the contacted tissue.

Title: Portfolio managed, demand-side response system
Inventor: ROMBOUTS JAN-WILLEM
IPC: H02J3/14
Filed: 2014-10-17
Granted: 2017-11-02
Abstract: A central site (160), using grid operator requirements to reduce portfolio power according to frequency decreases within a frequency band, determines the optimal frequency triggers at which each load (180, 182, 184, 186) within a portfolio should reduce power and by how much power. Power availability of each load (180, 182, 184, 186) is optimized. These triggers and individual load power reductions are periodically dispatched from the central site to the individual loads (180, 182, 184, 186). Each load (180, 182, 184, 186) detects when a frequency deviation occurs and is able to independently and rapidly reduce its power consumption according to the triggers and corresponding power reductions it received previous to the frequency deviation. Reliance upon the central site (160) to detect a frequency deviation and. then to dispatch power reductions in real time is not needed. The system also detects frequency increases and directs a portfolio of loads to consume more power. The system applies to energy loads (180, 182, 184, 186) and detection of a grid signal in general.
