Abstract: Polysulphide produced by oxidizing white liquor includes both active and inactive components. “Active” polysulphide is the only component that increases pulp yield. The amount of active polysulphide formed when manganese oxides are used as catalysts in the generating process is increased by adding a co-catalyst. Adding bismuth compounds and, in particular, bismuth oxide as a co-catalyst increases the total amount of polysulphide formed with all the manganese oxides and increases the amount of active polysulphide produced particularly when using the lower manganese oxides. The co-catalyst also increases the number of cycles in which the most active catalyst, manganese dioxide, can participate before losing efficiency. Other elements in the same group and adjacent groups in the periodic table are active but these other elements are more soluble than bismuth and are toxic.

Abstract: L'objet de la présente invention est la mise au point d'une soupape, en particulier d'une soupape de renouvellement des gaz d'un moteur à combustion interne, dans laquelle un dispositif de commande permet, d'une manière mécaniquement simple, des mouvements de levée de la soupape avec des courbes de levée de la soupape qui se composent d'une courbe principale de levée de soupape dont le tracé peut être modifié et d'au moins une courbe de levée auxiliaire pouvant être modifiée. La position de phase entre les courbes de levée principale et auxiliaire peut également être modifiée. A cet effet, un dispositif de commande est destiné à actionner au moins une soupape, en particulier une soupape de renouvellement des gaz d'un moteur à combustion interne. Grâce à ce dispositif de commande, le mouvement de levée de la soupape (6) au moins est produit par une superposition de deux profils de came à rotation synchrone et agissant mécaniquement sur un élément d'actionnement (4) de levée, à savoir un premier profil (1) de came et un second profil (2) de came, et peut être modifié par décalage de phase entre ces deux profils (1, 2) de came. Les deux profils (1, 2) de came possèdent des zones spécialement formées dont la superposition peut produire au moins une levée (ZV) de soupape supplémentaire, en plus du mouvement principal de levée produit par les deux profils (1, 2) de came sur une rotation complète desdits profils (1, 2) de came. Cette courbe auxiliaire de levée (ZV) de soupape peut être modifiée pour ce qui est de sa forme et de son assujettissement à la courbe principale de levée (HV) de soupape par décalage de phase entre les deux profils (1, 2) de came.

Abstract: A compact encoded representation of information values not exceeding a predefined size can be derived when a first encoding rule generating an encoded representation of the information values of variable length is compared to a second encoding rule generating an encoded representation of the information values of fixed length and when the encoding rule resulting in the encoded representation requiring the lower number of information units is chosen. Thus, the maximum bit rate can be guaranteed to be at least the maximum bit rate of the second encoding rule deriving the second encoded representation. Signaling the choice of the encoding rule by some rule information together with the encoded representation of the information values, the correct information values can later on be derived on a decoder side, using a decoding rule fitting the encoding rule used during the encoding.
