Abstract: A two-stage catalyst (100) comprises an oxidative stage (102) and a reductive second stage (104). The first stage (102) is intended to convert NO to NO2 in the presence of O2. The second stage (104) serves to convert NO2 to environmentally benign gases that include N2, CO2, and H2O. By preconverting NO to NO2 in the first stage (102), the efficiency of the second stage (104) for NOX reduction is enhanced. For example, an internal combustion engine exhaust is connected by a pipe (106) to a first chamber (108). A first oxidizing catalyst (110) converts NO to NO2 in the presence of O2 and includes platinum/alumina, e.g., Pt/Al2O3 catalyst. A flow of hydrocarbons (CxHy) is input from a pipe (112) into a second chamber (114). For example, propene can be used as a source of hydrocarbons. The NO2 from the first catalyst (110) mixes with the hydrocarbons in the second chamber (114). The mixture proceeds to a second reduction catalyst (116) that converts NO2 to N2, CO2, and H2O, and includes a gamma-alumina. The hydrocarbons and NOX are simultaneously reduced while passing through the second catalyst (116).

Abstract: When the communication control section (19) of a provider (server)
receives data from a mobile terminal through a PHS base station and a
communication line, the CPU (11) of the provider (server) determines the
sender of the received data. The CPU (11) classifies the received data by
sender and stores the classified data in a storage unit (15). The
destinations to which the stored data can be sent are also stored as pre-registered
transmission destinations in the storage unit (15). Upon
reception of a data transmission request from the mobile terminal or a PC,
the CPU (11) determines whether the requester which has sent the data
transmission request is a pre-registered transmission destination. When
the requester is a pre-registered transmission destination, the CPU (11)
makes the communication control section (19) send the data stored in the
storage unit (15) to the requester.

Abstract: The biomass (3) in e.g. a bale, heaps, pressed sheet bale (4), silo or off-roll container is contained in an air tight envelope (5), and dosed (7, 8) once only with inoculant. Fermentation proceeds anaerobically with no further addition. An Independent claim is included for the equipment used. Preferred features: Before methanization, aerobic heating takes place. Inoculant is made and added, to suit the particular biomass. It may be liquid from a biogas plant or e.g. cattle slurry. Inoculant is made from structured wastes, grass cuttings and/or coppice wood and/or straw and/or waste solids and slurry. Structured waste is mixed with liquid to a dry mass content of 20-40%, preferably 30%, at a pH value of 7-9, preferably 8. The ratio of dry masses of inoculant to biomass exceeds 0.6. Various industrial wastes are added. Composting takes place at about 50 degrees C for 2-5 days without turning. Septic liquid is recycled as inoculant. Inoculant is mixed in before filling the vessel. Storage conditions (aerobic at 20 degrees C) exclude spontaneous methanization. Fluid inoculant is used with biomass having high fluid absorption. It may be introduced between biomass layers during or before pressing bales by e.g. spraying. It is embedded locally in the biomass. Liquid inoculant is introduced into the heating biomass, displacing air. Digestion continues at no more than 35 degrees C. The inoculant is preheated. The methanizer has external thermal insulation. Conventional and/or solar heating is applied. Percolate is recirculated from above, controlling the dry matter content and adding nutrients. Some is stored. Biomass layering or other structured introduction optimizes methanization.
