Abstract: Apparatus for determining levels of immiscible fluids in a vessel that includes a transmission line sensor that extends vertically within the vessel for contact with fluids within the vessel. A generator is coupled to the sensor for transmitting along the sensor a first electrical signal that continuously sweeps a predetermined frequency range. A voltage detector is coupled to the sensor for providing a second electrical signal that varies as a function of the amplitude of electrical energy reflected at the sensor from the various electrical impedance discontinuities along the sensor, including particularly interfaces between and within immiscible fluids surrounding the sensor. The frequency spectral characteristics of the second electrical signal are analyzed to determine the spatial distribution of electrical impedance along the sensor, from which the levels of immiscible fluids within the vessel are determined.

Abstract: In a method to reduce nitric oxide atmospheric emissions from a combustion process, ammonia (8a) is injected into the flow of combustion gases upstream of a catalytic converter (SCR process), or urea or a similar substance is spray-injected into an afterburner chamber (SNCR process). The agent is introduced in proportion to the quantity of nitric oxide (11a). The quantity of agent introduced is calculated and determined by reference to both: (a) the quantity of nitric oxide measured (16b) and a first process setting (14b) determining the quantity of agent; and (b) a second process setting (13b) for the quantity of agent which is determined by the agent slippage; and that (c) either the first or second process setting is adopted (12b), depending upon the level of nitric oxide detected. Also claimed is a regulation and control assembly for the above method.

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to provide an easy to use unit which is able to reproduce cooking states in a precise manner. The unit can also be started with cold water. Several consecutive monitoring operations of cooking states should be possible without long intermediate waiting times. To achieve this, the invention provides a device for signaling at least one cooking state of at least one piece of food, such as an egg, a potato, a pepper, rice or noodles, in a liquid cooking medium (7), comprising at least one partially floating jacket (1), a temperature sensor (6a), an analog digital converter (6b), a digital computer (6) and a signal transmitter (2, 20, 21, 19). In the digital computer, the temperature value δa(t) of the liquid cooking medium (7) such as water is delayed with at least one thermal time constant T1, T2, T3 (15, 15a, 15b) to form a thermally delayed inner temperature value δi(t). The temperature value δa(t) is measured by sensor (6a) which is provided with good thermal conductivity in relation to the jacket (1) and is digitized with the AD converter. A device (17, 18) is included in order to switch on the signal transmitter (2, 20, 21, 19) once a given first temperature threshold δS1 is reached, wherein a first food cooking state is signaled.

Abstract: This invention is directed to a cyclonic vapor/liquid contacting device, wherein liquid exiting the cyclonic device is directed primarily to one side, and distillation or related mass transfer or heat transfer processes employing its use, such as fluid catalytic cracking. Liquid feed is introduced near the floor of the cyclone via downcomer or plenum. Vapor enters through sieve holes in the bottom of the cyclonic device. Near the floor are angled tabs or vanes that impart a spin to the vapor rising up through the floor. The tabs or vanes mix the liquid and vapor. The liquid is then thrown toward the cyclone wall, where it exits through slots in the wall. Preferably, a second set of tabs or vanes, located about in the middle of the cyclone, imparts additional spin to the vapor and entrained liquid rising through the cyclone. This improves liquid collection by the cyclone, especially in cases where a heavy liquid load dampens the spin action of the vapor in the base of the cyclone. Means to direct liquid flow primarily to one side include a shroud around the top of the cyclone, vanes to direct fluid flow downward and baffles between the cyclone barrels.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for transferring information over a communications link includes transmitting information at a first power level, monitoring for correct reception of the transmitted information and transmitting further information at a second-, greater power level than that used for the original transmission if correct reception did not occur. The further information allows the content of the originally transmitted information to be established and in one embodiment constitutes a retransmission of the originally transmitted information. By retransmitting at a greater power level the probability of correct reception is enhanced, especially when the communications link is wireless. A transmitter employing the present invention may offer reduced power consumption since the transmission power level used for the original transmission may be lower than that used by a transmitter not benefiting from the present invention.

Abstract: A method of demodulation and equalization is used to process an amplitude modulated compatible digital broadcasting signal including an amplitude modulated radio frequency signal having a first carrier modulated by an analog program signal in a first frequency spectrum, a plurality of digitally modulated carrier signals positioned within a bandwidth which encompasses the first frequency spectrum, a first group of the digitally modulated carrier signals including complementary carrier signals and lying within the first frequency spectrum, and second and third groups of the digitally modulated carrier signals including non-complementary carrier signals and lying outside of the first frequency spectrum. The method includes the steps of: taking a first Fast Fourier Transform of the amplitude modulated compatible digital signal to produce a first transformed signal representative of the non-complementary carriers; processing the first transformed signal to produce a first equalized signal by multiplying the first transformed signal by a first equalization vector, wherein the first equalization vector includes a first plurality of equalizer coefficients; updating the first plurality of equalizer coefficients; taking a second Fast Fourier Transform of the amplitude modulated compatible digital signal to produce a second transformed signal representative of the complementary carriers; determining a second equalization vector comprising a second plurality of equalizer coefficients, wherein the second plurality of equalizer coefficients is determined by interpolating coefficients of the first plurality of equalizer coefficients; and processing the second transformed signal to produce a second equalized signal by multiplying the second transformed signal by the second equalization vector. The invention also encompasses the operation of radio frequency receivers which utilize the above method, as well as apparatus that performs the above method and radio frequency receivers which utilize the above equalization method.
