Title: Higher secondary alcohol ethoxy sulfate salt
Inventor: MORIKAWA MASATERU
IPC: C07C305/10
Filed: 1996-09-06
Abstract: A high-concentration liquid higher secondary alcohol ethoxy sulfate salt composition comprises 35 - 60% by weight of a higher secondary alcohol ethoxy sulfate salt represented by the general formula (1) (wherein R 1 and R 2 independently represent a linear alkyl group of 1 - 18 carbon atoms, providing the total of numbers of carbon atoms of R 1 and R 2 is in the range of 7 - 19, n represents a natural number in the range of 1 - 20, and M represents an alkali metal atom) and 65 - 40% by weight of water. A higher secondary alcohol ethoxy sulfate salt is prepared by subjecting a higher secondary alcohol ethoxylate represented by the general formula (2)  (wherein R 1 , R 2 , and n have the same meanings as defined above) to a hydrogenating treatment and then sulfating the product of hydrogenation by the use of chlorosulfonic acid or sulfuric anhydride. This method produces at a high yield a higher secondary alcohol ethoxy sulfate salt which excels in such qualities as hue and absence of odor.

Title: Compensating for the failure of an amplifier in a transmitter by increasing the baseband signal
Inventor: MATSUKI TORU
IPC: H04Q7/30
Filed: 1997-07-23
Abstract: In a transmission device for use in a base station of a mobile communication system each of a predetermined number N of baseband signal producing sections produces a baseband signal from data signals. A baseband signal combining section 3 combines the baseband signals. Responsive to the combined baseband signal, a modulation circuit 4 modulates a carrier signal. A distributing circuit 7 distributes the modulation signal to a preselected number M of power amplifying circuits, respectively. Each power amplifying circuit amplifies the distributed modulation signal and produces an alarm signal when a failure occurs. A combining circuit 9 combines the amplified signals into the transmission signal. A control section controls the baseband signal producing sections in response to the alarm signal from each power amplifying circuit to increase a level of the combined baseband signal so as to compensate for a decrease in power of the transmission signal due to the failure occurred in a power amplifying circuit.
