  • Patent number: 9387439
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and a method for the concentration of slurry, especially mineral containing slurry. The invention provides a system comprising an electrophoresis unit and a separation unit, where the separation unit comprises a recipient, preferably of half cylindrical form, with adjusted flanks for separating the solid material or cake from the rotating anodes and a sliding carriage suitable for closing the recipient and stripping resting solid material from the flanks into the recipient before the solid material or cake is pressed out of the recipient by a piston.

  • Patent number: 9331805
    Abstract: In a network based on IEEE 1588, comprising a plurality of nodes (201, 501) and a plurality of connections where each connection connects at least two nodes to allow communication between nodes including the exchange of messages according to a network protocol, the synchronization of IEEE 1588 is improved by allowing multiple grandmaster clocks (701) to operate simultaneously in the system. Thus, the re-election protocol of IEEE 1588 is made obsolete. For this, a multitude of nodes form a subsystem implementing a high-availability grand master clock (301) according to the IEEE 1588 Standard, wherein the subsystem is configured to tolerate the failure of at least one of said nodes forming said subsystem. Bi-directional communication link (401) are configured for physically connecting a IEEE 1588 Master clocks (201) and/or IEEE 1588 Slave clocks (201) to the subsystem implementing a high-availability grand master clock (301).

  • Patent number: 9274914
    Abstract: A method for presenting alert notifications includes identifying an alert condition for one of a master device, a slave device, and a production device. Operational states of the slave device and the master device are determined. For each of the slave device and the master device, upon a determination that the given device is in an idle state, that device is caused to display a notification corresponding to the identified alert condition.
