Patent DE-19921778-A1 (DE)
Inventor: BOCK WOLFGANG
IPC: G06V10/22
Filed: 1999-05-11
Abstract: The invention relates to an information carrier, on which the position of a measuring point (37, 41) can be determined with a mobile reading device, and to a corresponding position determination method. The information carrier has a surface on which visually perceptible primary information is applied, particularly in the form of a book or a map. Said surface is printed with at least one machine-readable two-dimensional pattern that codes information on the position and on the basis of which the position of the measuring point (37, 41) can be determined by using image processing methods and by measuring the locally detectable parts (36, 40) of the pattern. The pattern coding information on the position is transparent in such a way that primary information on the surface remains visually perceptible.

IPC: H04B1/707
Filed: 1999-10-05
Abstract: Techniques for introducing information into a data stream first obtains the spectral values of the short-term spectrum of the audio signal. Separately, information to be introduced are combined with a spread sequence obtaining a spread information signal, whereupon a spectral representation of the spread information is generated, then weighted with an established psychoacoustic maskable noise energy to generate a weighted information signal, wherein energy of the introduced information is substantially equal to or below the psychoacoustic masking threshold. The weighted information signal and the spectral values of the short-term spectrum of the audio signal are then summed and afterwards processed again to obtain a processed data stream including audio information and information to be introduced. Because the information to be introduced are introduced without changing to the time domain, the block rastering underlying the short-term spectrum are not touched, thus introducing a watermark will not lead to tandem encoding effects.

Abstract: In a urea synthesis process comprising reacting ammonia with carbon dioxide
at a urea synthesis temperature and pressure in a vertical urea synthesis
zone, bringing the resultant urea synthesis solution containing urea,
unreacted ammonia, unreacted carbon dioxide and water into contact with at
least a part of feed carbon dioxide in a stripping zone under heating under a
pressure nearly equal to said urea synthesis pressure to separate the
unreacted ammonia and the unreacted carbon dioxide as a mixed gas of
ammonia, carbon dioxide and water, treating further the urea synthesis
solution containing unseparated unreacted ammonia and unreacted carbon
dioxide to obtain urea, introducing the mixed gas separated in said stripping
zone into the bottom part of a vertical condensation zone to bring it into
contct with an absorption medium under cooling thereby to condense said
mixed gas, and recycling the thus-obtained condensate to the urea synthesis
zone, wherein said process comprises preheating the feed liquid ammonia
under a pressure of 150 - 300 bar to supply it to an ejector, expanding said
liquid ammonia through the ejector so that the pressure difference between
the delivery pressure and the suction pressure of the ejector may become 2
- 10 bar thereby to suck the condensate coming from the top part of said
vertical condensation zone installed on the ground, introducing the mixture of
said liquid ammonia and said condensate from said ejector into the bottom
part of said vertical urea synthesis zone installed on the ground, subjecting
said introduced mixture to the urea synthesis while it goes up through said 
vertical urea synthesis zone, and supplying the thusformed urea synthesis
solution from the top part of said vertical urea synthesis zone to the top part
of said tripping zone.
