Abstract: The invention relates to a device (2) for a method for determining the transmission behavior of sub-channels (24,26,28) of a transmission channel in a radio communication system (6), wherein signal subcarriers (38,40,42) comprising data are created for establishing the transmission channel in the radio communication system (6) and accommodated in the sub-channels (24,26,28) of the transmission channel, and wherein the transmission behavior of the sub-channels (24,26,28) is determined using the signal subcarriers (38,40,42) that are overlapped by interference sources (44,46,48). For this purpose, each sub-channel (24,26,28) occupies a separate partial bandwidth region (32,34,36) of a total bandwidth region (30) of the transmission channel, wherein the partial bandwidth region (32,34,36) of other partial bandwidth regions (32,34,36) of the total bandwidth region (30) is provided at a distance to the bandwidth, and the interference sources (44,46,48) are limited in bandwidth to the partial bandwidth region (32,34,36) associated with the respective sub-channel (24,26,28).

Filed: 2008-04-10
Abstract: A method and apparatus to batch de-coat the organics in metal scrap, and/or gasify the organics from certain types of waste material (including bionnass, municipal solid waste, industrial waste, and sludge). The apparatus is suited for use on a batch tilting single entry rotary furnace (1) of the type used to melt the metal scrap in the aluminium industry. The apparatus uses a burner in the tilting rotary furnace but does not necessarily melt the metal scrap. It preferably operates below the melting temperature of the metal scrap (< 1400 F) and below the stoichiometric level (more specifically < 12% oxygen) to partially combust the organic in the tilting rotary furnace. The gasified organics depart the furnace in a complete closed circuit where no air is allowed to entrain into the flue gases. These organic filled gases (synthetic gases) are fully incinerated in a separate thermal oxidizer (5) where a stoichiometric burner (6) uses either natural gas or liquid fuel to ignite the synthetic gas. The system can identify when the organics are fully gasified, and the metal scrap is fully clean.

Abstract: The present invention relates to surveillance and/or identification devices having capacitors connected in parallel or in series, and methods of making and using such devices. Devices with capacitors connected in parallel, where one capacitor is fabricated with a relatively thick capacitor dielectric and another is fabricated with a relatively thin capacitor dielectric achieve both a high-precision capacitance and a low breakdown voltage for relatively easy surveillance tag deactivation. Devices with capacitors connected in series result in increased lateral dimensions of a small capacitor. This makes the capacitor easier to fabricate using techniques that may have relatively limited resolution capabilities.

Abstract: A pneumatic hybrid turbo transmission for reduced energy consumption is disclosed. A pneumatic hybrid turbo transmission configured as a multi-purpose unit (MPU). The MPU recovers energy from the cooling system, exhaust system, ram pressure and the breaking system. The MPU unit is an automatic transmission, supercharger, air compressor for other uses, and starter for the engine using a multi-purpose unit that will eliminate the need for a torque converter or clutch, flywheel, catalytic converter, starter and supercharger. The MPU reduces pollution to near zero and reduces the aerodynamic drag coefficient on the vehicle. The MPU uses two or more in-line compressors to transfer power from the power source, such as an internal combustion engine (ICE) to a turbine or multi~stage turbine that acts as an automatic transmission. The pneumatic hybrid turbo transmission system uses plug-in power as a second source of power.
