Publication number: 20160233677Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for controlling a controllable electrical load connected to an electrical distribution system, comprising measuring (401) an electrical voltage signal v in the electrical distribution system, calculating a short term average (402) over a short time period based on the electrical voltage signal and a long term average (403a) over a long time period based on the electrical voltage signal, the long time period being greater than the short time period, and subtracting (406) the short term average from the long term average, said subtraction derives a delta value (407), then multiplying the delta value with a gain factor (420) to get a first desired power consumption, controlling the controllable electrical load according to the first desired power consumption (414). The invention also related to an autonomous voltage load controller.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2014Publication date: August 11, 2016Inventors: Philip James Douglass, Rodrigo Garcia Valle, Octavian Constantin Tudora

Patent number: 8607420Abstract: A hose clamp has a flexible strap fittable around a hose and having opposite ends, a strap end part separate from the strap, and a mechanism for increasing or reducing the effective length of the strap. This mechanism is between one of the ends of the strap and the strap end part. A spring element separate from the strap and strap end part has one end linked to the strap and another end linked to the strap end part so as to provide a spring force in the circumferential direction of the strap.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2008Date of Patent: December 17, 2013Assignee: Progeral Industria de Artefatos Plasticos Ltda.Inventors: Marco Antonio Vieira De Campos, Reiner Lubowietzki, Leticia Pantojo, Wellington Fernando Domingues, Lilian Aires Muzel, José Silva Muniz, Rodrigo Garcia Jaques Eid, Alberto Caetano Dos Santos, Jose Antonio Fernandes Junior

Patent number: 5854304Abstract: The present invention is directed to an additive degradable/compostable package, the combination of a metal carboxylate and an aliphatic poly hydroxy-carboxyl acids, which is added to polyolefin resins in the production of specific products. The addition of the additive degradable/compostable package produces a packaging product which is degradable/compostable. The additive package may include calcium oxide (CaO) to make the modified polyolefin resin more processable. Further, stabilizers or oxidizers may be added to the additive package. The additive package is specifically modified or tailored to the application of the packaging product, e.g. trash bag, compost bag, merchant bag, diaper liner, wrapping film, agricultural film, landfill cover or foamed planks. The present invention further includes the method or process of producing the degradable/compostable concentrates and the improvement of the process of making the degradable/compostable packaging products by the addition of calcium oxide (CaO).Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 1997Date of Patent: December 29, 1998Assignee: EPI Environmental Products Inc.Inventors: Rodrigo A. Garcia, Joseph Gock Gho
