Patent NO-20035417-D0 (NO)
Inventor: WAYCUILIS JOHN J
IPC: B01J8/00
Filed: 2003-12-05
Abstract: A transport process for a wet gas employs a subsea heat exchanger having first and second flowpaths separated by a heat transfer surface. A cooler heat transfer medium is conveyed through the first flowpath in a liquid phase while a warmer hydrocarbon stream having a gaseous hydrocarbon phase and a liquid aqueous phase is conveyed through the second flowpath, which cools the hydrocarbon stream and heats the heat transfer medium. The heat transfer medium is converted by heating to a vapor phase, which is conveyed to a passive condenser associated with the subsea heat exchanger. The ambient temperature of the sea water submersing the condenser cools the heat transfer medium and restores it to the liquid phase for reuse in the heat exchanger. A portion of the hydrocarbon stream is converted by cooling to a plurality of solid gas hydrate particles while a solid particle medium entrained within the hydrocarbon stream prevents the build-up of gas hydrate particles in the second flowpath. The gas hydrate particles mix with the remaining liquid phase components of the hydrocarbon stream to form a gas hydrate slurry, which is withdrawn from the second flowpath and conveyed through a subsea transport pipeline.

The difference between the filtered predicted chrominance block and the actual chrominance block is encoded, or a decoded difference is applied to the filtered predicted chrominance block, to encode or decode the block. Also disclosed is indicating whether luminance difference data is to be included in an output bitstream losslessly, and independently indicating whether chrominance difference data is to be included in the bitstream losslessly. Further disclosed is selecting, for a particular coding unit, a size and shape of one or more prediction units, detecting a prediction direction for each prediction unit, and generating a predicted block of samples according to other samples defined by the direction.

Filed: 2012-02-22
Abstract: A non-deleterious method for producing a continuous conductive circuit upon a non-conductive substrate can begin with the application of a metallic base layer upon a surface of a non-conductive substrate. A circuit pattern can be created within the metallic base layer based upon a circuit design. The metallic base layer comprising the circuit pattern can be physically separated from the remainder of the metallic base layer on the non-conductive substrate. The region of the non-conductive substrate surface that encloses the circuit pattern can be called the plating region. The remainder of the non-conductive substrate surface can be called the non-plating region. A first metal layer can be added upon the metallic base layer. A second metal layer can be added upon the first metal layer of the plating region. The second metal layer can be electrically conductive and restricted from forming on the first metal layer of the non-plating region.

Granted: 1985-08-22
Abstract: A hearing aid comprising a microphone whose output signal is split by high and low pass filters and supplied to two channels. Each channel includes a variable gain circuit the outputs of which are mixed and supplied to an earphone. The turnover frequencies of the filters are such that one channel limits the dynamic range of vowels whereas the other channel limits the dynamic range of consonents, thus preventing interaction and masking of consonants by preceding vowels. The intelligibility of speech is thus improved.
