Inventor: YAP ZER KAI
IPC: F25B9/00
Filed: 2004-11-29
Granted: 2008-08-19
Abstract: A water heating system including a water storage vessel; a water circuit; first and second heat exchangers operably disposed in the water circuit; and a vapor compression system defining a refrigerant circuit. The vapor compression system includes first and second compressor mechanisms. The first compressor mechanism compresses the refrigerant from suction pressure to intermediate pressure. The second compressor mechanism compresses the refrigerant from the intermediate pressure to a supercritical discharge pressure. The first heat exchanger is operably disposed in the refrigerant circuit between the first and second compressor mechanisms, and exchanges heat between intermediate pressure refrigerant and water. An expansion device is operably disposed in the refrigerant circuit. An evaporator is operably disposed in the refrigerant circuit between expansion device and first compressor mechanism. The second heat exchanger is operably disposed in the refrigerant circuit between second compressor mechanism and expansion device, and uses the supercritical refrigerant to heat water.

Title: Dispositif, systeme et procede pour la gestion autonome de ressources de communication sur liaison inverse dans un systeme de communication distribue
Inventor: TIEDEMANN EDWARD G JR
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2004-06-15
Granted: 2013-08-06
Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif, un système et un procédé pour la gestion efficace de ressources de communication sur liaison inverse dans un système de communication distribue à stations de base ayant une distribution géographique. Une station de base fonctionnant avec au moins une station mobile, comme station de base active hors desserte, fait une estimation de charge couplée prévisionnelle imputable à la station mobile ou aux stations mobiles en fonction d'une charge totale couplée antérieure. Elle détermine une capacité disponible totale en fonction de la différence entre sa capacité totale propre et la charge couplée prévisionnelle estimée. Elle attribue des ressources de liaison inverse à d'autres stations mobiles desservies de manière à ne pas dépasser la capacité disponible totale. Etant donné que l'attribution des ressources de canaux en liaison inverse est contrôlée directement par la station de base, les retards imputables aux communications avec un contrôleur central sont éliminés. Ainsi, on réduit au minimum les effets préjudiciables de la programmation de charge qui repose sur une information de canal en liaison inverse obsolète.

Title: Methods and apparatus for encoding ldpc codes
Inventor: JIN HUI
IPC: H03M13/11
Filed: 2002-12-18
Granted: 2011-05-24
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for encoding codewords which are particularly well suited for use with low density parity check (LDPC) codes and long codewords are described. The described methods allow encoding graph structures which are largely comprised of multiple identical copies of a much smaller graph. Copies of the smaller graph are subject to a controlled permutation operation to create the larger graph structure. The same controlled permutations are directly implemented to support bit passing between the replicated copies of the small graph. Bits corresponding to individual copies of the graph are stored in a memory and accessed in sets, one from each copy of the graph, using a SIMD read or write instruction. The graph permutation operation may be implemented by simply reordering bits, e.g., using a cyclic permutation operation, in each set of bits read out of a bit memory so that the bits are passed to processing circuits corresponding to different copies of the small graph.

Title: Reduced size citrus fruit juicing machine
Inventor: MENGUAL MENGUAL JOAQUIN
IPC: A23N1/00
Filed: 2004-09-28
Granted: 2012-12-04
Abstract: The invention relates to a reduced-size citrus-fruit-squeezing machine of the type that make use of sets of male/female rotating drums. The inventive machine is characterised in that it comprises a single female drum and a single male drum, an auto-orienting blade and a pendulum system which is used to support the turning part and which dispenses with the need for a second set of drums, by turning the fruit half that remains after cutting in the direction of the next upper cavity of the female drum. In addition to providing the same range of services as larger-sized squeezing machines, the machine also offers improved hygienic conditions owing to the provision of the support pendulum, a ribbed fruit inlet, a peel receptacle and a built-in juice container, which are isolated from the exterior. In this way, the machine is particularly suitable for use in hotels that lack space.
