Patent number: 11179909Abstract: A method for removing liquid from a slurry includes: (i) feeding the slurry into the inlet of a press; (ii) removing liquid from the slurry as the slurry advances through a deliquifying section of the press, thereby producing a pressate stream; (iii) forming a plug of material as the slurry is advanced through a plug formation section of the press; (iv) advancing the plug of material to a discharge section of the press; and (v) removing additional liquid from the plug of material by operating the press so that the pressure in the discharge section of the press is greater than the pressure of the pressate stream by at least 2 psi. The present invention also relates to a method for controlling discharge consistency from a press, without provision of discharge restrictors, by varying the pressure differential between a discharge section of the press and a pressate stream.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2020Date of Patent: November 23, 2021Assignees: Voith Patent GmbH, Iogen Energy CorporationInventors: William Miller, Trevor Richardson, Stephen A.

Patent number: 7227493Abstract: An apparatus and method obtains positional information about one or more objects in a detection field. An array includes a transmitting element and a plurality of receiving elements. A truncated cross-correlation function may be applied to determine the interval between signals received by a plurality of the receiving elements, thereby to determine an angular position of an object. A warning zone may be defined and it is determined whether an object is within the warning zone. Also disclosed are techniques for stretching received signals, and techniques for obtaining positional information relating to an object using non-Doppler radar.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2003Date of Patent: June 5, 2007Assignee: Cambridge Consultants LimitedInventors: Gordon Kenneth Andrew Oswald, Alan Trevor Richardson, Michael Hugh Burchett, Eric Nicol Clouston, Danielle Emma Toutoungi

Patent number: 6411250Abstract: A vehicle (160) such as a motor road vehicle is fitted with an electromagnetic sensor system comprising transmitting means (e.g. 4, 1) for transmitting a radio frequency signal, receiving means (e.g. 2, 6) for receiving reflections of said signal from remote objects, sampling means (20, 28) operable to sample the received reflected signal (or a signal derived therefrom), and processing means (e.g. 36) for processing the sampled signal, and operable to detect said reflections in the sampled signal, and to determine information on the presence, position and/or range of said object. The system includes filter means (e.g. 34) for preventing radio signals transmitted by other sources or noise spikes from causing interference which results in spurious detections or indications of range by the processing means.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2000Date of Patent: June 25, 2002Assignee: Cambridge Consultants LimitedInventors: Gordon Kenneth Andrew Oswald, Alan Trevor Richardson, Nicholas John Kerry
