20110068631 | ELECTRICAL GENERATOR NETWORK AND A LOCAL ELECTRICAL SYSTEM - A local electrical system having an electrical generator is connected to an electrical generator network. The local electrical system has a controller to avoid the non-detection zone of loss-of-mains relays. The controller is arranged to monitor the real power flow from the electrical generator network to the local electrical system and to determine if the absolute value of the real power flow is below a first predetermined value to determine if there is a close match between the power requirements of the local electrical system and the electrical generator. If there is a close match, then the controller is arranged to monitor the reactive power flow the same way. If there is a close match also with the reactive power, then the controller is arranged to adjust the target reactive power output from the electrical generator of the local electrical system. | 03-24-2011 |
20120104847 | DISTRIBUTED POWER GENERATION - Distributed power generation systems generally include a number of power sources and electrical power loads interconnected by a distribution network. Electrical switches and fuses are provided such that local groups of power sources and power loads can be established. Should there be a degradation in the distribution network in terms of a set of criteria such as electrical frequency, current or voltage then the switch or fuse may be thrown to establish each local group as an island. By monitoring divergence from a set of criteria a method and controller may be utilised whereby the distribution network as a whole is considered and configured to establish virtual islands which operate prior to the establishment whether inadvertently or deliberately of actual islands within the distribution network. In such circumstances the transition from normal operation for the distribution network to islanded operation for the distribution network is less severe | 05-03-2012 |

20110185182 | IMPROVEMENTS RELATED TO THE AUTHENTICATION OF MESSAGES - A method of authenticating a message from a sending party to a receiving party. The sending party generates a digest of the message using a key, and sends the digest to the receiving party. The receiving party also generating the digest of the message using the key, and compares the digests to confirm the message was sent by the sending party. The key may be sent by the sending party to the receiving party by an authenticatable method; alternatively, the parties may use a secret previously agreed key. | 07-28-2011 |

20130090504 | Methane Enrichment of a Gaseous Alkane Stream for Conversion to Liquid Hydrocarbons - A method is provided for converting gaseous lower molecular weight alkanes contained in a feed gas to liquid higher molecular weight hydrocarbons. One or more lower molecular weight alkanes contained in the feed gas, which are heavier than methane, are converted to methane in a pre-former reactor. The resulting methane-enriched gas has a methane fraction greater than the methane fraction of the feed gas. The methane-enriched gas and bromine are reacted to form alkyl bromide and the alkyl bromide is reacted in the presence of a catalyst to form the liquid higher molecular weight hydrocarbons and a residual gas. The liquid higher molecular weight hydrocarbons are recovered as product and the residual gas is fed to the pre-former reactor with the feed gas. | 04-11-2013 |

20090014036 | CLEARING PIPEWORK IN OIL REFINERIES AND OTHER PLANT HAVING EXTENSIVE PIPEWORK - A method for clearing pipework in an oil refinery includes the steps of: blowing, using a first, low velocity gas flow, pipe contents out of the pipework in such fashion that the contents are removed using gas overpressure, to leave a low contents residue; and substantially clearing the residue by a second, high velocity gas flow, the gas flows being such as not to give rise to a hazardous reaction such as fire or explosion. Apparatus for the same includes gas blowing means connectable to the pipework; valving adapted to throttle down an outlet of the pipework, said blowing means and valving being adapted to cooperate to effect both low velocity flow and high velocity flow through the pipework; and gas supply means to the blowing means supplying a gas that will not give rise to a hazardous reaction such as fire or explosion. | 01-15-2009 |

20100239775 | APPLICATIONS FOR SCANNING TUNNELLING MICROSCOPY - In the present invention, it has been discovered that Scanning Tunneling Microscopy is a useful tool for imaging a surface on a nanometer scale and/or fabricating on a nano-sized scale by transferring a particle (e.g., protein) from one location to another. This is accomplished by a method of transferring a material from a first location to a second location comprising the steps of providing a stylus, applying a bias to the stylus, providing a surface, and changing the bias of the stylus such that the material is transferred from the first location to the second location. | 09-23-2010 |
