Abstract: Apparatus for a transmitter and a receiver which enhance the performance of a system coherent demodulation by utilizing non-pilot sub-channels to enhance the accuracy of estimates of amplitude and phase noise inherent in the transmission channel is described. This enhancement is accomplished by utilizing the corrected received data on a fundamental channel to enhance a pilot channel estimate, which is subsequently utilized by a dot product module in demodulating a supplementary data channel.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling the optimal dosing quantity Dopt of treatment chemicals to be introduced into continuously flowing fluids that are to be treated. The aim of the invention is to provide a method which is self-calibrating and which is characterized by a most economically possible use of treatment chemicals. In addition, the method should, to the greatest possible extent, be unaffected by a process-related contamination or by a zero shift of the measuring probe. To these ends, the invention provides a method with which the dosing quantity (D) is periodically changed by a predeterminable dosing quantity change  DELTA Di at an interval of a predeterminable clock time  DELTA ti.

Abstract: The invention proposes an articulated arm for transferring fluid products comprising two tubular sections (7, 8+2) connected to each other by a rotating joint (3) with a horizontal axis, and one of which, mobile in rotation, has an angular reference configuration in which it is balanced despite the effect of gravity. A balancing device (4, 10) compensates for variations in the effect of gravity on this mobile tubular section as a function of the orientation of this vis-a-vis the vertical, it is mounted between a fixed reference portion and a linkage portion of the mobile tubular section which is at a distance other than zero from the axis of rotation; it includes a spring (10) which tends to return the mobile section to its angular reference configuration (it is then idle) and applying to the mobile tubular section a force which is approximately proportional to the distance between this linkage portion and the location of this linkage portion in the angular reference configuration.

Abstract: A massage unit of a massage device moves upward and downward along a backrest of a chair. A pair of therapeutic arms are pivotably supported on a pair of pivot arms projecting forward when viewed from the backrest. Therapeutic fingers on the therapeutic arms have massage balls disposed on them. The pivot arms are driven to move the therapeutic arms in three dimensions, i.e., up and down, left and right, forward and back, so that a patient is massaged by the massage balls. An angle detecting means detects the angle of the therapeutic arms relative to the pivot arms. The magnitude and change in the output of the detecting means is used to determine the portion of the patient's body that is being contacted by the massage balls at any time. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Bipolar membrane electrodialysis methods for salt splitting polyvalent metal salts, where the metal cation can form substantially insoluble precipitates in the presence of hydroxyl ions can now be used in recovering acid and base values from a salt streams without precipitates fouling cell operation and causing shutdown. The introduction of an acid to the chamber where metal hydroxides would form inhibits their development or neutralizes formed solids, allowing salt splitting to continue. Salt splitting methods of the invention performed with a three compartment bipolar electrodialysis cell are useful in producing concentrated and purified acid forms, such as 2-keto-L-gluconic acid, H(KLG), a key intermediate in the production of ascorbic acid.
