Abstract: The present invention is concerned with a waste heat recycling procedure for waste heat sources of comparatively low quality, which so far have been disregarded mainly for economical reasons as well as for a lack of suitable equipment. A closed rankine cycle system is powered with gas or liquid residual heat sources that have a temperature of less than 350°C. The waste heat source enters into a heat exchange relationship with an evaporator of the rankine cycle system via an intermediate water circuit for transferring the waste heat to a working fluid.

Abstract: The present invention provides a technique for supporting variable bitrate services in an OFDM environment while minimizing the impact of the variations of fading channels and interference. In general, a basic access channel (BACH) is defined by a set number of sub-carriers over multiple OFDM symbols. While the number of sub-carriers remains fixed for the BACH, the sub-carriers for any given BACH will hop from one symbol to another. Thus, the BACH is defined by a hopping pattern for a select number of sub-carriers over a sequence of symbols.
