Installation for the treatment of sludges

Номер: US20120017461A1
Автор: Loïc Darcel
Принадлежит: AQUALTER

In a sludge treatment installation, a movable carriage is arranged transversely above a work surface of a floor. The movement of the carriage by longitudinal translation over the floor is initiated by a first drive shaft carrying a toothed wheel meshing with a drive chain. A second chain helps to guide the carriage. On the carriage is provided a rotary turning tool which engages in the sludge. Driven in rotation by a second drive shaft independent of the first, it includes pairs of semi-cylindrical paddles fixed substantially symmetrically by one of their edges on either side of a shaft driven by the second drive shaft. The two paddles in each pair of paddles are asymmetrical as a result of having different radii, with a difference at least equal to about 5%. Forced ventilation acts directly on the paddles.

The invention provides a method for the cleaning of a soiled substrate, the method comprising treating the substrate with a solid particulate cleaning material and wash water, the treatment being carried out in an apparatus comprising a drum comprising perforated side walls and having a capacity of between 5 and 50 litres for each kg of fabric in the washload, wherein said solid particulate cleaning material comprises a multiplicity of polymeric particles at a particle to fabric addition level of 0.1:1-10:1 by mass, each particle being substantially cylindrical or spherical in shape and having an average density in the range of 0.5-2.5 g/cm 3 and an average volume in the range of 5-275 mm 3 , and wherein said drum comprising perforated side walls is rotated at a speed which generates G forces in the range of from 0.05 to 900 G. The polymeric particles may comprise foamed or unfoamed polymeric materials which may comprise either linear or crosslinked polymers. Preferably, at least one detergent is employed in the cleaning process. The invention provides optimum cleaning performance as a result of improved mechanical interaction between substrate and cleaning media and is preferably used for the cleaning of textile fabrics. The method allows for significant reductions in the consumption of detergents, water and energy when compared with the conventional wet cleaning of textile fabrics, and also facilitates reduced washing-related textile fabric damage. The invention also envisages a cleaning composition comprising a solid particulate cleaning composition and at least one additional cleaning agent. In particular embodiments of the invention, the solid particulate cleaning material is separated and recovered and then re-used in subsequent cleaning processes. Typically, the solid particulate cleaning material is itself cleaned intermittently in order to maintain its efficacy.

A battery pack, power tool, and power tool combination. The battery pack includes one or more battery cells, a first terminal electrically connected to the one or more battery cells, a high current power supply terminal, a power switch electrically connected between the one or more battery cells and the high current power supply terminal, and a low current power supply terminal electrically connected to the one or more battery cells. The first terminal and low current power supply terminal are operable to provide a substantially continuous low current to the power tool during a normal operating state of the battery pack. The battery pack also includes a controller operable to control the power switch to provide high current power through the high current power supply terminal in response to a call for power from the power tool. 1. A method of operating a power tool electrically connected to a battery pack , the method comprising:receiving a substantially continuous low current from the battery pack;powering a microcontroller based on the substantially continuous low current;receiving, from a user interface of the power tool, an input related to the power tool performing a cleaning function;waking the microcontroller in response to the input;communicating a signal to the battery pack to receive a high current from the battery pack; andreceiving the high current from the battery pack based on the signal.2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a peak of the high current is greater than 8 amps and a peak of the low current is less than 200 milliamps.3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user interface includes a switch having multiple states claim 1 , the multiple states including an off state and an on state claim 1 , wherein the input related to the power tool performing the cleaning function is in response to the switch being moved to the on state.4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising performing a handshaking function between the microcontroller and the battery ...

A microwave appliance includes a microwave facility which generates microwaves and introduces the microwaves into a cooking compartment and which is operable with at least two configurations to generate different field distributions of the microwaves in the cooking compartment. A temperature acquisition facility contactlessly acquires a heat distribution in the cooking compartment, and a data processing facility identifies a non-food to be cooked region in the cooking compartment from the acquired heat distribution. A control facility sets a current configuration of the microwave facility and operates the microwave facility The control facility selects or sets at least one of the configurations of the microwave facility with regard to reducing a power of the microwaves in the identified non-food to be cooked region.

Принадлежит: ACCESS BUSINESS GROUP INTERNATIONAL LLC

An inductive power supply system includes a non-contact power supply for energizing a device. The inductive power supply system includes a communication system for enabling communication between a device and the system. The device transmits an identifier to the system. If the device does not have a transmitter, the system attempts to determine the type of device from a characterization of the power consumption by the device. If the device cannot be characterized, the inductive power supply system can be operated manually.

Methods and systems for efficient battery charging and usage

Номер: US20160079787A1
Автор: Eyal Yechieli
Принадлежит: PowerPlug Ltd

Battery charging methods and systems for devices that have rechargeable batteries provide an efficient way to know when to charge a device's battery, and when to switch between the device's battery and an external power source as the device's power source. The methods and systems receive signals associated with an external information service including instructions to conduct processing, access thresholds for a plurality of power rates, obtain information about when different power rates are in effect and, after determining a charge level associated with a battery, compare the threshold of the current power rate to the device's battery's charge level. Based on such a comparison, the methods and systems can determine whether the battery should be charged and whether the device's battery or an external power source should be used as the device's power source.

Half bridge power conversion circuits using gan devices

Номер: US20160079844A1
Автор: Daniel M. Kinzer, Ju Jason Zhang, Santosh Sharma
Принадлежит: Navitas Semiconductor Inc

GaN-based half bridge power conversion circuits employ control, support and logic functions that are monolithically integrated on the same devices as the power transistors. In some embodiments a low side GaN device communicates through one or more level shift circuits with a high side GaN device. Both the high side and the low side devices may have one or more integrated control, support and logic functions. Some devices employ electro-static discharge circuits and features formed within the GaN-based devices to improve the reliability and performance of the half bridge power conversion circuits.
