Abstract: The method involves transmitting a periodic signal from a subscriber unit at an initial predetermined power level. The power level is increased at a predetermined ramp up rate. The periodic signal is detected at a base station when a sufficient power for detection is achieved. A signal from the base station is transmitted which confirms the periodic signal has been detected. The confirmation signal is received at the subscriber unit. The predetermined power level ramp up rate is stopped when the confirmation signal is received. The initial predetermined power level is lower than the power level required for detection by the base station. The power level of the signal is increased at a second predetermined rate which is less than the first rate.

Abstract: A variable fraction of the residual gas is recycled (between 0 and 30% of the purified gas flow produced) in the impure gas to be treated, with the rest of the residual gas forming a purge, and the duration of the cycle T is reduced when recycling is done, with greater reduction when the recycled fraction is higher  Process for purifying a gas containing impurities which can be preferentially adsorbed, in particular hydrogen, by pressure swing adsorption (PSA) using several adsorbers (1, 2, 3) with each adsorber passing through successive operating phases, out of phase with the other adsorbers by an nth of the cycle duration T, where n is the number of adsorbers. The operating phases are: isobar adsorption at a high pressure of the cycle, with the impure gas being admitted at one end of the adsorber, circulating through it and extraction of the purified gas from the other end; regeneration of the adsorber finishing with at least one stage of extracting a residual gas from the adsorber in back-flow, and raising the pressure back to the high pressure of the cycle. The fraction of gas recycled is temporarily zero and temporarily between 10 and 30% of the purified gas. Gas is recycled when and only when the gas flow produced is greater than a set value. The flow of impure feed gas is kept constant and the amount of recycled gas is varied as a function of the purified gas produced, with the variations in the two gas flows being in the same direction. The reduction in cycle time is between 1 and 30% of the cycle with no recycling. The regeneration starts with a depressurisation stage in back-flow by balancing the pressure with another adsorber which is being repressurised. The regeneration is finished with two final stages: a depressurisation in forward flow to a low pressure and a purge in back-flow. The depressurisation stage by balancing is followed by a second depressurisation stage in forward flow, using the gas from the adsorber during this stage as purge gas. The adsorption unit has three adsorbers and the gas from the adsorber during the second depressurisation stage is sent to an auxiliary purge gas storage, or the adsorption unit has four adsorbers and the gas during the second depressurisation is sent directly to purge in forward flow another adsorber.

Abstract: A wireless recording device can be interrogated to determine its identity and its state. The state indicates whether a particular physical or chemical event has taken place. In effect, the physical or chemical event is recorded by the device. The identity of the device allows it to be distinguished from a number of similar devices. Thus the sensor device may be used in an array of devices that can be probed by a wireless interrogation unit. The device tells the interrogator who it is and what state it is in. The interrogator can thus easily identify particular items in an array that have reached a particular condition.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un appareil destiné au traitement préhydrolytique de biomasse, en particulier un réacteur du type sécurité, mobile ou non, qui peut être fabriqué en acier au carbone microjoint et revêtu de matériaux spéciaux (métaux réfractaires, superalliages, matériaux inoxydables, plastiques, etc.). L'insertion d'un vide entre la coquille du réacteur et son revêtement empêche son implosion et permet la détection de fuite au moyen d'hélium gazeux. la résistance à la corrosion des métaux réfractaires permet de réaliser une préhydrolyse et une digestion minérale. Lors du procédé de l'invention, la biomasse est tassée à 300 kg/m3 au moyen d'un distributeur hélicoïdal, dégazée, noyée, chauffée, agitée, préhydrolysée, le sucre étant récupéré par un premier lavage à l'intérieur du réacteur avec des valeurs supérieures à 90 %. Le faible rapport liquide/solide = 2 permet d'obtenir, dans le préhydrolysat, une concentration en sucre de 10 brix et une consommation d'énergie représentant 6 % de celle contenue dans la biomasse traitée. Le préhydrolysat est constitué de solutions de xylose et d'autres produits et il est destiné à la production de furfural, d'alcool et de xylitol. La contrôle de procédé permet de produire de la lignocellulose possédant une surface spécifique élevée, 2 m2/g (mesurée par BET), comparée à la valeur de 0.4 m2/g pour une biomasse non hydrolysée, de maintenir la cristallinité des fibres cellulosiques, de pouvoir la broyer en fines particules (f∫250 mm), de mettre la lignine sous forme globulaire, d'exposer la cellulose aux attaques par des micro-organismes de l'estomac de ruminant, des champignons, des bactéries ou des enzymes dans des fermentations microbiologiques ou enzymatiques. La combustion catalytique due à la surface spécifique élevée permet d'en faire un nouveau combustible pour chaudières, brûleurs en général et MHD lors d'une production avec de l'eau filtrée, et pour turbines à gaz lors d'une production avec de l'eau déminéralisée.

Abstract: A flexible hose (1) according to the invention comprising an under-hose (2), a metal layer, a barrier layer (4), an armouring layer (6, 7) and an outer cover layer (8), is particularly suitable for the transport of media which must be held completely isolated from the surroundings out of regard for the media as well as the environment. For this purpose, it is demanded that the metal layer (4) is tight and is included as an integrated layer in the hose laminate. Therefore, the metal layer (4) must adhere to the under-hose (2), and the subsequent armouring layer (6, 7) must adhere to the foil layer (4) in order for the influences of forces to be distributed, i.e. absorbed by the whole of the hose laminate. According to the invention, this can be effected by a modification of the plastic surface (2) by a plasma/corona treatment, after which a layer of polymer (3) which can be vulcanised is applied under the metal layer (4), the surface of said metal layer (4) then being provided with a layer of vulcanisable polymer (5). Hereafter, the layers are heated and a vulcanisation is carried out, which effectively binds the layers together. There is hereby achieved a hose laminate whereby the influence of forces is distributed to the whole of the laminate, whereby the metal layer (4) is spared so that it does not suffer damage. The hose is particularly suitable for the transport of coolants and other volatile media.

Abstract: A novel general-purpose method of precisely and easily determining the absolute configuration of a chiral compound which can have various kinds of basic groups bonded. The method uses a metal porphyrin having a structure which comprises a porphyrin dimer crosslinked with a carbon chain and in which one of the two porphyrin rings has a substituent bulkier than an ethyl group and bonded to at least one of the second peripheral carbon atoms from the carbon atom at the crosslink with the carbon chain.  In this method, either a chiral compound having an asymmetric carbon atom having, bonded thereto, a basic group capable of coordinating to the metal of the other porphyrin ring of the dimer structure of the metal porphyrin or a chiral compound having an asymmetric carbon atom adjacent to a carbon atom having the basic group bonded thereto is coordinated to the metal porphyrin.  The resultant coordination compound is analyzed by spectrophotometry based on circular dichroism to determine the absolute configuration of the chiral compound based on the symbol of a Cotton effect.
