Abstract: A new method of converting oligomeric chloroformates to high molecular weight polycarbonate is presented. By carefully controlling the relative concentrations and amounts of hydroxyl and chloroformate groups present in the oligomeric polycarbonate, the method of the invention provides for the efficient preparation of polycarbonate while minimizing phosgene usage. The product polycarbonates prepared by the method of the invention are fully capped with no additional phosgene required beyond that needed to prepare the oligomeric chloroformate starting material. The method of the present invention provides polycarbonates having non-detectable levels (<5 ppm) of aromatic hydroxyl endgroups, low polydispersity, and low levels of residual monomer and endcap, thereby obviating the need for monomer and endcap recycle.

Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for reducing interference in a wireless communication system utilizing an antenna array. The antenna array uses one or more signal channels for communicating with one or more mobile terminals. First, at least one channel is assigned as an empty channel in which no desired signal is carried so as to provide a representation of all relevant interference. Since the spatial characteristics of the empty channel and the regular signal channels should be very similar, the spatial signature of the signal channels is analyzed based on the interference received on the empty channel and the desired signals received on at least one signal channel. The analyzed spatial signature is then used for reducing the interference on all signal channels.

Abstract: Refrigeration process for gas liquefaction which utilizes one or more vaporizing refrigerant cycles to provide refrigeration below about -40 DEG C and a gas expander cycle to provide refrigeration below about -100 DEG C. Each of these two types of refrigerant systems is utilized in an optimum temperature range which maximizes the efficiency of the particular system. A significant fraction of the total refrigeration power required to liquefy the feed gas (typically more than 5% and often more than 10% of the total) can be consumed by the vaporizing refrigerant cycles. The invention can be implemented in the design of a new liquefaction plant or can be utilized as a retrofit or expansion of an existing plant by adding gas expander refrigeration circuit to the existing plant refrigeration system.

Abstract: L'invention a trait à un dispositif de surveillance de malades, qui intègre un récepteur disposant d'un mode de fonctionnement à antenne unique et d'un mode de fonctionnement à antennes multiples. Le mode de fonctionnement à antennes multiples permet au dispositif de surveillance de tirer profit de la diversité spatiale afin d'assurer une communication de meilleure qualité avec un dispositif médical implantable en cas d'évanouissement des signaux. Cependant, les dimensions réduites d'un grand nombre de dispositifs de surveillance de malades peuvent rendre difficile l'intégration d'antennes multiples. Afin que le fonctionnement à diversité spatiale soit possible, une station de base comprend au moins une seconde antenne, qui peut être couplée au dispositif de surveillance de malades. Dans une autre variante, la station de base peut posséder une ou plusieurs antennes de grande qualité, qui sont utilisées par le dispositif de surveillance de malades à la place de l'antenne située dans le dispositif de surveillance de malades lorsque le dispositif de surveillance de malades est couplé à la station de base.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a mobile crane boom having a self-sufficient energy supply arranged on it for supplying hydraulic energy to at least one hydraulic load arranged on the mobile crane boom. The supply of the hydraulic load arranged on the mobile crane boom is therefore not carried out by means of a hydraulic unit arranged on the revolving superstructure of the crane, which provides the hydraulic energy to each hydraulic load via hoses, but by means of a hydraulic unit which is arranged in the upper reaches of the mobile crane boom or in the area of the linkage of any second boom section. By arranging the hydraulic unit directly on the boom, the hoses normally required for supplying the hydraulic loads can be eliminated.
