Abstract: The device has a passive part with output connections connected to amplifier stage input connections and reduced internal impedance if a defined reception level is exceeded. The amplifier input stage amplifying element's high impedance control port has a HF connection to the passive part. An electronic element reduces the reception level in a transfer network whose linearising input admittance is lower when the HF input signal is attenuated.  The device consists of a passive part (1) whose output connections are connected to the input connections of an amplifier stage (21) and its internal impedance is reduced when a defined reception level is exceeded. The amplifier-input stage contains a 3-pole amplifying element (2) whose high impedance control port (15) has a high frequency connection to the first connection of the passive part. The amplifier has an electronic element (32) for reducing the reception level in a transfer network (31), whose linearising input admittance (7') is lower when the high frequency input signal is attenuated.

Abstract: A noise reduction device for use in a fluid flow system comprises a central section and an outer annular section. The outer annular section is designed to reduce the velocity of an annular fluid flow relative to a central core fluid flow. The central section of the device has a plurality of apertures, while the annular section has upstream apertures communicating with a pressure reduction chamber and downstream apertures. The upstream apertures of the annular section are smaller than, and off set from, the downstream apertures of an annular section to increase the pressure reduction and further reduce the velocity of the fluid flow in an annular section. A method is also described for reducing noise transmissions from a piping system wherein the fluid flow through the piping system is separated into an annular fluid flow and a core fluid flow, and the velocity of the annular fluid flow is reduced relative to the core fluid flow.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil permettant de produire des fibres thermomécaniques avec une énergie par tonne inférieure à celle requise auparavant pour un type de production similaire. L'invention se base sur le fait qu'au moins deux raffineurs sont combinés de façon que le mélange de copeaux, d'eau et de vapeur soit d'abord amené dans un premier raffineur dans lequel les copeaux sont brisés, puis la masse du premier raffineur est amenée dans le second raffineur afin que les fibres soient brisées pour obtenir un degré de raffinage final. La masse de vapeur et de fibres est finalement amenée une nouvelle fois dans le premier raffineur au moyen de l'énergie rotative du rotor du raffineur de façon qu'aucun écoulement en retour de vapeur ne se produise. La masse quittant le premier raffineur est entièrement amenée au second raffineur et aucune vapeur n'est extraite de la masse avant le second raffineur.

Abstract: A process is described for the co-production of maleic anhydride and at least one C4 compound selected from butane-1,4-diol,  gamma -butyrolactone, and tetrahydrofuran in which maleic anhydride is produced by partial oxidation of a C4 hydrocarbon feedstock to yield a vaporous reaction effluent stream comprising maleic anhydride, water, unconverted hydrocarbon feedstock, and carbon oxides. A part of the maleic anhydride present in the vaporous reaction effluent stream is condensed to form a crude maleic anhydride stream and leave a residual vaporous stream containing residual amounts of maleic anhydride. Further maleic anhydride is absorbed.from the residual vaporous stream by absorption in an organic solvent, water or an aqueous solution. Maleic anhydride is then recovered from the loaded liquid absorption medium. Said at least one C4 compound is produced by hydrogenation of a C4+ hydrogenation feedstock selected from maleic anhydride, maleic acid, dialkyl maleates, and mixtures of two or more thereof. The process is characterised in that the vaporous reaction effluent stream is cooled prior to step (iii), that a guard bed of a phosphorus-absorbing material is placed in the path of the cooled vaporous reaction effluent stream prior to step (iii) thereby to remove phosphorus-containing materials therefrom, and that material of the crude maleic anhydride stream of step (iii) is used as the C4+ hydrogenation feedstock of step (viii) or is used to prepare the C4+ hydrogenation feedstock of step (viii).

Abstract: A mobile terminal has an electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding region set at an upper side of a main body part where an internal antenna is mounted. The internal antenna may be mounted on a main printed circuit board (PCB) in order to obtain a desired radiation gain. Such a shielding region alleviates the need to use metallic shielding material or EMI spraying throughout many parts of the terminal. In addition, in order to maximize wireless characteristics of the built-in antenna, a PCB ground is removed from a folder part and a FPCB connector is moved to a position along a side of a terminal display. With this structure, degradation of radiation characteristics of the antenna due to metal components installed around the built-in antenna can be prevented, and thus a stable radiation gain of the terminal antenna can be obtained. <IMAGE>
