Abstract: An apparatus and method for deciding whether to perform link adaptation for communication transmitted from a first communication device (12) to a second communication device (11), where the second communication device (11) examines a signal received from the first communication device (12) and provides a first indication of the quality of the signal. The method includes steps of:  recording at least a first indication of the quality of the signal as received by the second communication device (11); providing a second indication of the quality of the signal based on the at least one first indication of the quality of the signal; and deciding whether to perform link adaptation based on the second indication of the quality of the signal. The first indication of the signal quality is for example a signal to interference ratio (SIR) estimate. Often, the second indication of the signal quality is a changed SIR  target value.

Abstract: A safety shut-off system controls power supply to an appliance to prevent accidental fires and the like. The shut-off system includes a shut-off switch for connection in series with the power supply of the appliance. A controller opens the switch in response to detection by the detector of a prescribed fire condition. Failsafe means are provided on the controller for opening the shut-off switch in response to a malfunction of the detector to ensure that the appliance is only permitted to operate under safe conditions when the detector is properly operating. In order to avoid false alarms the detector may take various forms including the detection of sound or other conditions which may be indicative of a potential fire. There are also incorporated switching capabilities to control additional a/c outlets, gas, propane and other appliances which work in unison with this system.

Abstract: A two-vessel liquid separation apparatus includes a pump and its motor submersed in a one vessel and a reverse osmosis membrane in the other vessel. The vessels are separated by a contiguous dividing wall. The membrane and the pump are in fluid communication with one another through the dividing wall so as to allow liquid to pass from one vessel to the other in accordance with a given geometry. The pump receives liquid from the membrane containing vessel through holes in the dividing wall, the pump creating a highly turbulent flow caused by a cyclonic and co-axial effect, directly at the lower end of the membrane; the connexion of the pump outlet at the dividing wall is very close to the membrane thus providing an optimal efficiency of turbulence and flow at critical locations of bacteria collection. The injection of new liquid to be concentrated at the inlet of the pump causes an immediate mixture of liquid to be concentrated with concentrated liquid, which mixture circulates rapidly in a close circuit between the first and second vessels.

Abstract: The present invention features a method for the formation of superporous hydrogels using an ion-equilibration tech-nique. Anionic polysaccharides are included in the hydrogel reaction mixture and cations are introduced either during or after hydrogel formation. Properties of the resulting hydrogel can be subsequently adjusted by treating the cation complexed gel with a different cation or cation mixture under equilibrating conditions. It has been found that by properly adjusting the cations and the sequence in which they are used in the equilibration process, superporous hydrogels can be formed that are highly absorbent while maintaining favorable structural properties, including strength, ruggedness, and resiliency. It has also been found that applying ap-propriate dehydration conditions to them after their formation can further stabilize the superporous hydrogels formed by the method of the invention.
