Abstract: A feedback control method and circuit for inclusion in a control system of an electrical power generating source that comprises a free piston Stirling engine driving a linear alternator. An instantaneous value of a variable, Vinternal, is continuously derived from other sensed and computed parameters and used in a negative feedback control loop of the control system to control engine piston stroke in order to maintain the power produced by the engine equal to the power transferred from the engine to the alternator. Vinternal is the sum of the voltage induced on the alternator winding and the voltage across the equivalent circuit lumped resistance of the alternator winding. A switching mode rectifier connects the alternator winding to an energy storage capacitor or battery. A negative feedback, alternator current control loop has an output connected to the pulse width modulator of the switching mode rectifier and has a feedback circuit comprising a current sensor for sensing instantaneous alternator current. A negative feedback, Vinternal control loop has a feedback circuit including a piston position or velocity sensor connected to a computing circuit that the current sensor is also connected to. The computing circuit computes a signal representing Vinternal for use as the feedback signal of the Vinternal control loop. The output of the Vinternal control loop is connected as the command input to the current feedback control loop.

Abstract: A method of treating water for municipal use comprises treating the feedwater stream on the feed side of a reverse osmosis membrane with a non-oxidizing, bromine-containing biocide in the substantial absence of a reducing agent, such that biofouling of the membrane is reduced or prevented, and measuring the produced water stream on the permeate side for the presence of bromine-containing compounds. Advantages may include preservation of the membrane, production of water that meets applicable regulations for safe drinking, and simplified processing without additional steps to remove the biocide or its degradation products from the produced water.

Abstract: A method is dedicated to reconstructing the clock of a client which uses a transport protocol, chosen from a set, to carry signals multiplexed using each of that set's transport protocols between devices (ET, ER) via a communication network. This method consists of: 
- on the sending end (ET), estimating the phase of the client's clock, in such a way as to generate at least the first samples TS[k] of a timestamp which represents the estimated phase, then transmitting these first samples to a reception device [ER], via the network, and 
- when the first samples (TS[k]) are received in the receiving device (ER), i) determining the difference between the estimated phase and the phase of a local clock H[k], whose frequency is generated by a digital frequency synthesizer MS, with this latter phase being represented by a timestamp defined by second samples (TS'[k)]; ii) generating a sampled error signal (e[k]) representative of this difference in phase, and iii) filtering this error signal (e[k]) by frequency in such a way as to supply the digital frequency synthesizer (MS) with a filtered error signal (c[k]), so that based upon said filtered error signal (c[k]) it generates a local clock (H[k]) synchronized to the client's clock.
