Patent AU-2007284003-B2 (AU)
Title: Collectors and flotation methods
Inventor: PHILIP SHELDON GRAEME
IPC: B03D1/004
Filed: 2007-08-17
Granted: 2011-09-22
Abstract: More efficient collectors for recovering selected metal values and/or minerals using flotation processes are described in which the improved collectors are combinations of different reagents in which the different reagents are selected from combinations of thionocarbamates, dithiophosphates and mercaptobenzothiazoles in which the collectors are mixtures of reagents selected either containing members from the one group of reagents or from one or more other groups of reagents. Particularly preferred reagents forming the collectors are isopropylmethylthionocarbamate, isopropylethylthionocarbamate or isobutylethylthionocarbamate. Particularly preferred dithiophosphates are potassium di-isobutyl dithiophosphate and potassium di-secbutyl dithiophosphate. The collectors can be used to recover a range of metals and minerals, particularly gold, silver, zinc, lead, nickel, platinum from a range of raw materials including suphides and sulphidic ores, oxides, oxidized sulphides and similar. The collectors are used in flotation processes to increase the amount of recovery of the selected metal or mineral whilst reducing the amount of competing metals or minerals being recovered. An advantage of some members of the collectors is that they do not phase separate but rather can be used in combination without the need for stirring or agitation shortly before use.

Title: Unbiased code phase discriminator
Inventor: WHITEHEAD MICHAEL L
IPC: H04B7/00
Filed: 2009-02-18
Granted: 2013-08-29
Abstract: A feedback control law steers a reference phase that tracks the phase of a received code sequence. The reference phase clocks a track-reference signal consisting of a series of correlation kernels, over which data is extracted and then summed in various combinations. The correlation kernels are designed in such a manner that errors caused by multipath are eliminated or substantially reduced. Furthermore, the areas of the correlation kernels are balanced across level-transitions of a code and non-transitions to eliminate phase biases when tracking specific satellites. Extra care must be taken to balance the correlation kernels in this manner due to a little known aspect of GPS C/A codes. Specifically, not all C/A codes have the same ratio of level-transitions to non-transitions as has been assumed in prior art.

Granted: 2014-03-27
Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for providing a solution for incompatibility between nonsinusoidal waveform uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems and active power factor correction (PFC) loads are disclosed. An embodiment of the invention includes generating a nonsinusoidal signal waveform (e.g., a voltage waveform), to be delivered to the load, with a pulse width modulation (PWM) duty width, sampling the nonsinusoidal signal waveform to collect output signal samples, and adjusting the duty width to control the nonsinusoidal signal waveform as a function of the output signal samples to deliver a desired signal characteristic (e.g., RMS signal level) to the load. In embodiments of the invention, the output duty width is adjusted differently in cases of rising and falling power consumption, respectively, by the load. Techniques disclosed herein find broad applicability in UPS systems and inverters and improve efficiency and reliability for end users and utility providers.
Patent AU-2009341329-B2 (AU)
Title: Seatbelt retractor
Inventor: TANAKA MASATAKA
IPC: B60R22/46
Filed: 2009-03-27
Granted: 2012-10-11
Abstract: A mounting concave portion with a predetermined depth is formed on a gas-pressure-receiving-side surface of a piston. Further, a plate-like sealing member includes a mounting convex portion which is erected at a position meeting with the mounting concave portion on the gas-pressure-receiving-side surface of the piston. When the piston and the sealing plate are assembled together, the mounting convex portion is fitted in the mounting concave portion. By merely pushing the mounting convex portion in the mounting concave portion, the sealing plate and the piston can be integrated, which improves productivity in assembly. Further, the sealing plate will not get twisted, deviated or displaced due to friction against inner wall of the pipe cylinder when the sealing plate and the piston are integrally inserted in the pipe cylinder. Deterioration of sealing function due to improper mounting of the sealing plate can be avoided.
