Abstract: On utilise un dispositif électrostatique haute tension (10) pour améliorer l'efficacité de processus (70, 90) de séparation par membrane, particulièrement dans des unités d'osmose inverse, dans lesquelles des espèces ayant une polarité ionique donnée sont séparées de l'eau. Le dispositif (10) est immergé dans l'eau traversant les membranes (74) et mis en oeuvre en continu à des tensions très élevées, qui sont de préférence supérieures à 30,000 volts CC. La charge sur la surface mouillée des particules en suspension est altérée par le champ électrostatique ainsi généré et on a découvert que cette charge réduit la formation des films biologiques, ceci renforçant physiquement l'efficacité du système (70, 90) de séparation par membrane. On a également remarqué que l'application de champs électrostatiques haute tension réduit la corrosion des surfaces métalliques présentes dans le système.

Abstract: The present invention provides a data selective demodulation
apparatus in a small scale of the circuit which is able to perform
the stable demodulation even in fading conditions, and which has
no deterioration of the demodulating efficiency. The apparatus
selects two or more digital modulated signals in desired frequency
band from RF signals received through an antenna, and then
regenerates two or more sampling clocks from the digital
modulated signals by the clock regenerator. The demodulated
data derived from the digital modulated signals are delayed by
specific periods in the delay units, and the delayed data are
combined in the combiner. Then the delay amounts by in the
delay units are so controlled that the sampling clock of the
demodulated symbol of the demodulated signals to be supplied to
the combiner become synchronized. As a result, it is able to
provide a data selective demodulation apparatus in a small scale of
the circuit which is able to execute the demodulating operation
stable even in fading conditions, and which has no deterioration of
the demodulating efficiency.

Abstract: The present invention includes puffed-food starch material snack, in particular
starch material from grains or pelletized partially gelatinized food starch material. The
puffed-food starch products and methods described result in an improved crispy texture
and a more aesthetic appearance. In general terms, the products are snack chips, cakes,
crackers or the like, made from food starch material. Preferably, the starch material is
provided primarily in the form of individual kernels or pellets of a cereal grain. A quantity
of the grain is puffed (expanded) in a manner which forms a snack product of
considerable crispiness, lightness, and unique texture to both the mouth and eye. 
     According to a method of making the puffed food starch material products of the
present invention, a puffing chamber is provided having inner surfaces and a chamber
volume. A bulk amount of the food starch material is placed into the puffing chamber.
The bulk amount of food starch material is caused to volumetrically expand. Where the
food starch material comprises partially gelatinized starch pellets the expanding food
starch material may be constrained in its expansion or unconstrained in at least a first
dimension. Where the starch material comprises whole kernels of grain the expansion is
contrained in at least a first dimension, while permitting expansion of the bulk amount in
at least a second dimension.

Abstract: A specific number of adjacent pixels are combined into blocks.
The tone values of the pixels in a target block are detected when the
dot on-off state is determined, and the fact that the target block does
or does not satisfy specific processing conditions is confirmed based
on the relation between the magnitudes of the tone values thus
detected. The dot on-off state is determined for the target block in
block units if the target block satisfies the processing conditions.
The conversion procedure can be rapidly performed by adopting this
approach. The dot on-off state is determined for the pixels of the
target block if the processing conditions are not satisfied. Image
quality is thereby prevented from being adversely affected. Image
quality can thus be preserved and image data rapidly converted to a
specific expression format based on the dot on-off state by performing
the conversion procedure in accordance with an appropriate method
selected based on whether the processing conditions are satisfied.
