Abstract: The present invention provides a registration agent site (4) which presents a simple intermediary between sites (3) and internet users (1) that acts a single source of data entry, user name and password for users.  This allows users to register with new sites automatically and move between registered sites via a single interface, whilst allowing changes in profile Information via the same interface. The registration agent site (d) acts as the agent for the internet user (1) rather than the site owner, allowing registration by proxy in a manner which is transparent to other sites. The agent negotiates connectivity and connects the user.

Title: Hydro-power generation for a water treatment system
Inventor: LORD JOHN J
IPC: F03B17/06
Filed: 2000-10-05
Granted: 2007-05-29
Abstract: A hydro-power generation system for use in con-junction with a water treatment system is disclosed. The embod-iments of the hydro-power generation system include an impeller rotatably positioned in a housing. The impeller is rotatably cou-pled with a generator. When water flows through the water treat-ment system, water flows to the hydro-power generation system and acts on the impeller causing rotation thereof. The rotation of the impeller results in the generation of electricity for the water treatment system by the generator. Other embodiments of the hy-dro-power generation system include a rotor rotatably positioned in a conduit through which water flows. The flowing water causes the rotor to rotate. The rotor operatively cooperates with a sur-rounding stator. As the rotor rotates within the stator electricity is generated for the water treatment system.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un logiciel (1804) permettant de convertir une palette source contenant des couleurs TV-incompatibles (TV unsafe) en une palette contenant uniquement des couleurs TV-compatibles (TV safe) tout en préservant les tendances générales des couleurs dans une palette source. Le logiciel analyse d'abord une palette de couleurs source de manière à déterminer les couleurs TV-compatibles contenues dans ladite palette. Pour chaque couleur imcompatible de la palette de couleurs source, le logiciel détermine la couleur compatible la plus proche en sélectionnant une couleur TV-compatible; c'est à dire celle qui présente la distance euclidienne la plus courte avec la couleur TV-compatible. Les couleurs TV-incompatibles sont remplacées par des couleurs TV-compatibles calculées puis stockées dans la palette obtenue. Le logiciel divise l'espace de couleurs de la palette source en zones discrètes, par exemple par teinte (H), en sélectionnant les couleurs de référence servant à limiter les zones. La couleur TV-compatible d'origine est ensuite modifiée de la même façon que les couleurs de référence proches ont été modifiées pour devenir des couleurs TV-compatibles. On obtient ainsi une palette composée uniquement de couleurs TV-compatibles qui conservent les tendances de couleurs de la palette source lorsqu'elle est perçue par l'oeil humain.

Abstract: There is provided a failure determination apparatus which is capable of determining the failure of a temperature sensor promptly and correctly regardless of environmental conditions at the start of an internal combustion engine. An ECU calculates an operation progress parameter indicative of a degree of progress of operation of the internal combustion engine from the start thereof. A RAM of the ECU stores a value of the temperature detected by the temperature sensor at a stoppage of the engine. Further, the ECU measures a stop time period from the stoppage to a start of the engine, and determines that the temperature sensor is faulty, when the difference between a value of the temperature detected by the temperature sensor at the start of the present operation of the engine and the value of the temperature stored in the RAM is equal to or smaller than a predetermined reference value on condition that the operation progress parameter calculated during the immediately preceding operation of the engine is larger than a predetermined value, and that the stop time period before the present operation of the engine is longer than a predetermined time period.

Abstract: An automatic board processing system (20) including a transverse board conveyor (28), a board extrusion portion (22), a marking station (31.1), a sawing portion (24), one or more board feeding portions (26) and a process controller (29). One or more stack of boards are supported for serially feeding each board conveyor and are conveyed in a direction transverse to the length of the boards. The boards are individually deposited into an elongate receiver (42) of a board extrusion portion to be conveyed longitudinally. A carriage (73) in the receiver transports the boards past an end detection station past a marking station and to a sawing station. The carriage has a moveable clamping member which pinches the board between a wall of the receiver and the clamping member. The carriage moves down the receiver with the board clamped thereto conveying the board in a longitudinal direction to position the board in a desired position for sawing the board. The sawing station is located at a proximal end of the receiver with proximity sensors (332), such as optical sensors comprising the end detection station also positioned at said end. A clamping station (31.3) comprising a pair of gripping rollers secure the proximal end of the board adjacent the saw station for sawing. The marking station, also positioned at said end, prints desired indicia at selected positions on the board such as by an ink jet printer (310) without physical contact of the printing mechanism with the board and while the board is moving. All operations of the board processing system are automated by the process controller.

Granted: 2012-08-21
Abstract: Methods and arrangements enable ADCs (105) to be calibrated from reference signals with unknown parameters and/or with amplitudes that exceed the dynamic range of the ADCs (105). A given analog reference signal s(t) is supplied to an ADC (105). The output x(k) of the ADC (105) is used by calibration logic (320) to estimate at least one paramater of the reference signal. A FIR filter (455) accepts as input the x(k) signals and outputs and estimate ((k)) as the sampled instances of thes(t) signal. A reconstruction table is created that approximates the analog input signal in the digital domain using the knowledge of the analog input signal waveform type. The actual ADC (105) outputs are compared to the values in the reconstruction table to produce a correction table (350) for calibration. In an alternative embodiment, calibration logic (320) interpolates the output (x(k)) of the ADC (105) to reconstruct clipped portion(s) of the input analog reference signal s(t) when the amplitude of the input analog reference signals s(t) exceeds the full swing of the ADC (105).  The FIR filter can thereafter use the reconstructed signal from the interpolation.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé relatif à l'amélioration de l'activité d'un catalyseur métallique actif dispersé de type particulaire durant le fonctionnement d'un réacteur, qui repose sur l'hydrogénation de monoxyde de carbone visant à produire un mélange d'hydrocarbures. Les étapes sont les suivantes: retrait d'un mélange d'hydrocarbures et d'une partie du catalyseur métallique actif dispersé, réduction de la teneur en hydrocarbures avec de l'hydrogène à une température supérieure à celle du réacteur, oxydation d'une suspension de particules de catalyseur dans un fluide approprié à basse température pour former un précurseur oxydé, réduction du précurseur à haute température pour réformer le catalyseur, et retour dans le réacteur. Il est possible de passiver le catalyseur avant ce retour. L'opération est conduite jusqu'au moment où il apparaît que le réacteur n'est plus économique en raison de la diminution de la performance du catalyseur, ou dès la constatation d'une accumulation de fines. Lorsque ces conditions se manifestent, on renouvelle de préférence le catalyseur durant le fonctionnement du réacteur en utilisant un procédé qui consiste à retirer un mélange d'hydrocarbures et une partie du catalyseur métallique actif dispersé, à réduire la teneur en hydrocarbures, à chauffer le mélange au-delà de la température de fusion d'au moins un des métaux pour donner une matière fondue, à extraire toute scorie formée sur la matière fondue, à refroidir ladite matière pour former un solide, à réduire la taille des particules du solide et à former un catalyseur métallique actif dispersé de type particulaire renouvelé, qui est ensuite réintroduit dans le réacteur.
