Patent BR-9914586-A (BR)
Inventor: TESSIER DAVID FLORIAN
IPC: C02F1/44
Filed: 1999-09-24
Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for inhibiting scaling in an electrodeionization system and, more particularly, for increasing tolerance to hardness in the feed water to an electrodeionization unit by inhibiting precipitation of scale-forming metallic cations contained in the feed water and thereby increasing efficiencies of the electrodeionization system. Water to be purified is passed through an electrodeionization unit in which the flow in the diluting compartment is countercurrent to the flow in the concentrating compartment. This is to impede the migration of scale-forming metallic cations from the diluting compartment, through the cation exchange membrane, into the concentrating compartment and towards the concentrating compartment side of the anion exchange membrane, thereby preventing scale formation on the anion exchange membrane. The electrodeionization unit may be further modified by dividing the concentrating compartments into first and second compartments by a porous diaphragm or ion-conducting membrane. The porous diaphragm or ion-conducting membrane effectively eliminates convective transport of scale-forming metallic cations from the cation exchange membrane side of the concentrating compartment to the anion exchange membrane side of the concentrating compartment, thereby inhibiting scale formation on the anion exchange membrane.

Patent EE-9700299-A (EE)
Inventor: DAVID BARRINGTON EVERETT
IPC: G06Q20/36
Filed: 1996-05-09
Abstract: The invention is concerned with systems for transferring value between electronic purses, usually in the form of IC or "Smart" cards, via the intermediary of an interface device. In order to control the flow of value between purses a hierarchical class structure is proposed. This is achieved by assigning to each purse a class which controls the conditions under which value may be transferred to and from (mainly from) a purse. Thus each purse stores in memory a representation of its own class, together with a list of those classes to which the purse can transfer value.

Title: Seismically determining the continuity of earth formations between wellbores
Inventor: CHON YU TAIK
IPC: G01V1/42
Filed: 1997-08-12
Abstract: In a method of determining the continuity of earth formations between wellbores (12, 16) by analyzing seismic energy imparted to the formations, energy is imparted to the formations at a plurality of depths in one wellbore (12) and is received at a plurality of depths in another wellbore (16). The frequency spectrum of the received energy is determined at selected depths, such spectrum being for a given wave path, the path including one of the depths at which energy is imparted and one at which it is received. For such selected paths the transmissivity, for a given frequency, is calculated for a plurality of frequencies and presented in the form of a "connectivity" map. This is done for shear and compressional components of the seismic energy.

Title: Locating the position of a fault on a telephone line
Inventor: FIDLER JOHN KELVIN
IPC: H04M3/08
Filed: 2000-10-16
Abstract: In order to determine the location of a fault on a telephone line, the transform function of the line is obtained and a Fourier transform performed on the function. The Fourier transform includes a spike having a time component that is representative of a discontinuity, which is located a known distance from an end of the telephone line. The time component and distance associated with the known discontinuity and the time component associated with the fault are then used to calculate the distance from the end fo the telephone line to the fault. The time component and distance associated with the known discontinuity can also be used to calculate a propagation speed of the telephone line. The arrangement may be implemented, in either a single or double ended manner, between various elements of a telecommunications network, such as a customer's modem, a public switch, a remote test unit, a digital subscriber line access module, and a remote access server.

Title: Method and apparatus for treatment of internal surfaces in a closed-loop fluid system
Inventor: LANDAAS TORSTEIN
IPC: B08B9/02
Filed: 1999-06-29
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for generating a scale-removing or coat-applying system based on a vacuum-balancing low-pressure multi-component two-phase fluid flow. A cleaning site such as, e.g., a pipe circuit (A) or the inner cavities of a heat exchanger (B) is supplied with an already used cleaning agent in a two-or multiphase flow made up of ca. 10 % liquid and ca. 90 % air or gas, which after separation is used again by way of continuously monitoring the ion density of the separated liquid, using a conductivity apparatus which determines whether it shall be filtered and reused, be supplied with new liquid and/or solids, or be dumped. A liquid flow and separated air/gas flow from an air pump meet at a mixing point from where an intended two-phase flow flows to the cleaning site (A), (B), or similar, through this and then forward to return as a re-use medium. A gas-injected liquid/powder flow from a mixing unit is also used for coating, e.g., the inner surfaces of pipes and tanks, or objects placed in a suitable chamber, tunnel, or similar, where excess coating medium is returned for separation for possible re-use, re-introduction or dumping. The method operates an expansion separator (2), air pump (3), conductivity meter (5), cyclone filter (7), valve control (11), pump (12), vapour supply (13), ejector (14), mixing head (18) and sundry pressure (15), temperature (4, 6, 17, 20) and volume (16, 21) control units.

Title: Method of transmitting data over a shared resource
Inventor: HILL STEPHEN
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2001-06-22
Abstract: A source encoder (203) receives data from a data source (201) and produces a data stream that has a varying data rate. This stream is fed to a data segmenter (205), which packetises the data stream before feeding it to a data compressor (209). The data compressor (207) compresses the data stream so that it can be transmitted over a circuited-switched channel allocated from the total system resource. The channel has a data rate which is lower than the maximum data rate of the data stream. The compression is variable such that only data packets having data rates higher than the link data rate are compressed. Such compression is either lossy or loss-free compression depending on the compression level required. The compressed data is transmitter using a conventional transmitter (211) and received by a conventional receiver (213). The invention is applicable to cellular communication systems.
