Abstract: A reactor including a rotatable disc (3) having a surface (5) onto which reactant (15) is supplied by way of a feed (4). The disc (3) is rotated at high speed, and the reactant (15) spills over the surface (5) so as to form a film (17). A rotary fan or impeller (70) is mounted so as to cover the surface (5) and to suck a gaseous phase component across the surface (5) in a direction generally counter-current to the flow of reactant (15) across the surface. The surface (5) may be provided with features to enhance its surface area, such as a metal mesh (60), thereby helping to increase the residence time of the reactant (15) on the surface (5) and to help mixing. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method and an arrangement for manufacturing calendered paper or board particularly in the on-line manufacturing method. In the method, a base web is formed from a mixture of water and pulp supplied from the headbox and the web is dried by removing water over the press section and over the dryer section by heating. The formed web is calendered at least once to modify the surface on at least one of its sides. Before calendering the cross-direction thickness profile of the web is standardized and calendering is carried out by means of a long-nip calender, whereby good surface quality is obtained without losing the bulk or stiffness of the web.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a plurality of bulk acoustic wave (BAW) resonators on a single substrate, and the corresponding product, the BAW resonators having substantially different resonant frequencies, the method including the steps of: providing a substrate having an upper facing surface; depositing an isolation structure on the upper facing surface of the substrate; depositing a first metallic layer on the isolation structure, the first metallic layer serving as a bottom electrode; and depositing piezolayer material on the bottom electrode so as to have thicknesses corresponding to each of the different resonant frequencies, each different thickness located in a location where a resonator having a resonant frequency corresponding to the thickness is to be located. In one of several embodiments, the step of depositing piezolayer material on the bottom electrode itself includes the steps of: depositing piezolayer material to a thickness corresponding to the lowest frequency resonator; providing hard mask material over areas where the lowest frequency resonators are to be located; and removing the piezolayer material down to the thickness of the next higher frequency resonators. In some applications of the method, the isolation structure is an acoustic mirror, and the method further includes the step of providing the acoustic mirror, interposed between the substrate and the bottom electrode, according to a design that imparts to the acoustic mirror a desired reflection coefficient over a predetermined range of frequency including the substantially different resonant frequencies. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for reserving quality of service (QoS) in a wireless telecommunication system, which comprises at least one mobile station, a support node serving the mobile station, and a data terminal communicating with the mobile station. QoS is reserved and maintained by transmitting path messages and reservation messages between QoS protocol entities of the mobile station and the data terminal.

The mobile station and the support node drop, on the basis of the stored data, the next messages corresponding to the first path and reservation messages to be transmitted between the mobile station and the data terminal. The mobile station and the support node transmit messages corresponding to the first path and reservation messages periodically to the QoS protocol entities of the mobile station and the data terminal on the basis of the stored data.

Abstract: A multicast radio data communication system comprising a master (1) and a plurality of slave stations (2, 3, 4), and using a retransmission protocol. Data is transmitted by the master station and received by the slave stations. One slave station is designated the primary slave station, and all other slaves are designated secondary slave stations. Any slave station may transmit a negative acknowledgement but only the primary slave may transmit a positive acknowledgement. Positive and negative acknowledgements are transmitted substantially simultaneously. Negative acknowledgements corrupt reception of the positive acknowledgement by the master station, thereby ensuring that the data is retransmitted. The primary slave station is selected to have the lowest quality radio link, which may be ensured by a power control command from the master.
