Title: Method and apparatus for sharing uplink state flag (usf) with multiple uplink temporary block flows (tbfs)
Inventor: SEBIRE GUILLAUME
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2001-10-03
Abstract: A method and an apparatus are described for increasing the flexibility of uplink resource allocation for a mobile station (MS) (100), that is backwards compatible with earlier standards that provide only a single data flow per MS.  The method includes steps of: a) associating an allocated uplink resource (an Uplink State Flag (USF)) with one or more Temporary block Flows (TBFs) for a Packet data Channel (PDCH), and not with a MS per se (although a given USF is associated with only a single MS); and b) using a Temporary Flow Identity (TFI) for identifying a TBF, where a TFI may be unique to a PDCH and, if not, is unique with respect to the MS on a PDCH (and hence with respect to the USF). The result is that the MS is enabled to send any of its TBFs on allocated resources of the same PDCH. An uplink resource may be allocated to the MS dynamically using the Uplink State Flag (USF) or by using a fixed allocation. A total of n Radio Bearers are associated with a single TBF, where n >= 1.

Title: Conversion of aromatic hydrocarbons
Inventor: BUTLER JAMES R
IPC: C07C6/12
Filed: 2003-05-16
Abstract: A process for the transalkylation of an aromatic feedstock containing a benzene component and a polyalkylated aromatic component comprising at least one polyalkyl aromatic compound of at least nine carbon atoms. The feedstock is supplied to a reaction zone containing a metal modified zeolite transalkylation catalyst. The reaction zone is operated under conditions providing an equivalent conversion of pure toluene in the presence of the catalyst within the range of 40-55%, resulting in a transalkylated product with a reduced polyalkyl benzene content and an enhance monoalkyl benzene content relative to the transalkylation feedstock. In continued operation of the transalkylation reaction zone, at least one of the reaction conditions of temperature, pressure, and space velocity is adjusted in order to maintain a constant reaction severity to provide a desired equivalent conversion of toluene within a tolerance range of ~ 2%. Specifically, the temperature is progressively increased while continuing the operation of the transalkylation zone to maintain a condition of constant reaction severity.

Title: Method of controlling the absolute humidity of blown air in a roasting-and-drying process and roasting-and-drying apparatus
Inventor: KAWAHARA KAZUMITSU
IPC: B01F23/10
Filed: 2002-03-05
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of controlling the absolute humidity of blown air in a roasting-and-drying process and a roasting-and-drying apparatus. The method makes humidity control for air blown through malt to be proper and makes the variation in the degree of drying to be decreased in the roasting-and-drying process for producing malt. In the process for roasting and drying a malt raw material, outside air introduced toward a malt layer 10 provided by heaping the malt raw material is heated and is fed to the malt raw material as the blown air. A portion of air passing through the malt raw material as circulated air is mixed with the outside air and is fed to the malt raw material as the blown air again. The absolute humidity of the blown air fed to the malt raw material is measured using a sensor 20, and the mixing ratio of the introduced outside air and the circulated air is controlled so that the measured absolute humidity is kept at a predetermined value.

Abstract: A patient is monitored using a monitoring apparatus including a remote monitoring unit associated with the patient and having a sensor that measures a physiological characteristic of the patient, a central unit, and a communications device which selectively establishes a communications link between the remote monitoring unit and the central unit. The remote monitoring unit obtains a monitored data set for the patient, analyzes the monitored data set to obtain a derived data set from the monitored data set, and determines from the derived data set that communication with the central unit is required. A communications link is established with the central unit, and the remote monitoring unit transmits to the central unit an initially transmitted data set related to the monitored data set. The central unit analyzes the initially transmitted data set and instructs the remote monitoring unit as to any additional transmitted data set related to the monitored data set that is to be transmitted from the remote monitoring unit to the central unit and a time at which the additional transmitted data set is to be transmitted.
