Title: Sorbent pellets including oxygen carriers
Inventor: MANOVIC VASILIJE
IPC: A61K38/20
Filed: 2011-07-04
Abstract: A reusable sorbent, and method of use, for carbon dioxide capture and purification. The sorbent comprises pelletized composites for use in a fluidized bed process, each pellet comprising calcium oxide; an aluminate binder; and at least one transition metal component. The aluminate binder is preferably calcium aluminate or bauxite, and the transition metal is preferably selected from copper, manganese and cobalt. For carbon dioxide capture, the transition metal is an oxide, which has an exothermic reduction reaction. For removal of oxygen from carbon dioxide, the transition metal in the pellets is non-oxidized. Reduction of the oxygen carrier can be performed by providing a flow of fuel gas, such as methane. The pelletized composites provide for improved carbon dioxide capture and longer use of the sorbents with significant mitigation of decay, and without the disadvantages of oxy-firing.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for deconvolving a noisy measured signal obtained from a sensor device (100), said noisy measured signal (y(t)) being the sum of the convolution product (x(t)~ N(t)) of an input signal (x(t)) of the sensor device, representative of a feature of physical quantity, by a convolution kernel (N(t)) defined by the response function of the sensor device (100) and a noise which interfere with the measure.  The method is characterised in that said method comprises an estimate computation step (400) in the course of which a minimal estimate (x min(t)~ N(t)) of the convolution product of the input signal by the convolution kernel of the sensor device is computed in order that said minimal estimate stays below the noisy measured signal (y(t)) and has at least one point in common with the noisy measured signal (y(t)).

Title: Apparatus and method for allocating ovsf codes and i/q channels for reducing peak-to-average power ratio in transmitting data via enhanced up-link dedicated channels in wcdma systems
Inventor: CHO JOON-YOUNG
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 2005-02-14
Abstract: The present invention supposes a situation in which an Enhanced Uplink Dedicated transport Channel (EUDCH) is used in a Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) system. In a user equipment (UE), when physical channels for transmitting EUDCH data are transmitted in addition to existing physical channels, a Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) of an uplink transport signal increases.  The increase in PAPR depends upon Orthogonal Variable Spreading Factor (OVSF) codes allocated to the corresponding physical channels and in-phase/quadrature-phase (I/Q) channels. Therefore, the present invention proposes an apparatus and method for allocating optimum OVSF codes and I/Q channels to EUDCH-related physical channels in order to minimize an increase in PAPR due to EUDCH.

Abstract: Petroleum cokes derived from extra-heavy crude sources can be made more amenable to quenching by adding water or a water/light oil mixture to the coker feed downstream of the furnace. The coke product resulting from this addition of normally volatile liquids to the hot coker feed is still relatively dense but is more friable and usually is in a compact, relatively free-flowing, granular form. The coke is more amenable to uniform quenching in the drum and so can be cut and discharged with a reduced risk of eruptions and a reduced risk of fires in the coke pit or when the coke is subsequently handled and transported.
