flue gas G6; hydrogen chloride contained in this flue gas is
removed as residue of dechlorination; the thus removed
residue of dechlorination is dissolved by adding water i;
water-insoluble constituents k are separated from the
resulting aqueous solution j; and after adjusting pH of the
aqueous solution l remaining after separation of the water-insoluble
constituents k, mercury, dioxin and the like are

agent g is mixed with a hydrophilic anti-caking agent, with
an angle of repose of 40° or more, a dispersibility of less
than 50, and a floodability index value of less than 90. A
mean particle diameter of sodium hydrogencarbonate is set

Filed: 2000-01-17
Abstract: L'invention porte sur la fabrication de structures laminées multicouches recourant à une technique de collage traversant à résistance renforcée. Dans l'exécution préférée, la structure est un trilaminé présentant deux couches extérieures (12, 18) de non tissés et une couche intérieure (16) d'élastomère (20) ajourée (par exemple un canevas). Pendant la fabrication, on applique des cordons d'adhésif traversant (par exemple un adhésif thermofusible oléorésistant à base de polybutylène) sur au moins l'un des non tissés. Les couches extérieures et le canevas intérieur, mis en regard, sont introduits dans la pince d'un dispositif de compression qui met les deux couches extérieures en contact intime à travers les jours du canevas. Dans la bande trilaminée résultante le canevas se trouve fixé mécaniquement à l'intérieur de la structure trilaminée par le collage traversant même en l'absence de liaisons directes entre le canevas et l'une des couches extérieures. Les cordons de colle ne sont de préférence appliqués qu'aux zones de la structure dont on désire le renforcement pour assurer l'intégrité et la durabilité du produit fini, par exemple le long de ses bords longitudinaux.

IPC: G09G3/36

Abstract: Effective color resolution of a limited-memory color-mapped display system such as a portable liquid crystal display (LCD 16) handheld video game system (10) can be increased by changing the color mapping information during active display time (e.g., during the horizontal blanking interval (Fig. 3) between rasterization of successive lines on the display (16)). A subset (tl1, tl2) of the color mapping information can be rewritten during each horizontal blanking period. A full color bitmapped source image can be converted into a color-mapped image (Figs. 7A-7C) in a way that optimizes the use of such color map updates. Since photographic and photorealistic images typically don't exhibit abrupt color changes between neighboring pixels, such techniques can result in display of a color image with very high color resolution (e.g., having as many as 2048 different colors) on hardware intended to permit simultaneous display of only a much smaller number of different colors (e.g., only 56 different colors simultaneously).

Abstract: A multi-mode, multi-microphone system for use with a hearing aid or amplification device has two omni-directional microphones. The system includes programmable circuitry including programmable resistors and can operate in a two microphone omni-directional mode, a two microphone directional mode, a single microphone directional mode, a low frequency equalized two microphone directional mode, a telecoil input mode, and a mixed microphone input and telecoil input mode. Any number of these modes may be preprogrammed and stored by the system so that a user can select a desired mode, as required. Advantageously, the system allows the amount of equalization in the low frequency equalized two microphone directional mode and the amount of telecoil input mixing in the mixed telecoil and microphone mode to be programmably variable quantities. As a result, numerous variants of these modes are possible and may be selected as desired by a manufacturer, dispenser, or user. The microphone system is calibrated by adjusting programmable resistors so that the sensitivity of each omni-directional microphone is matched in all two microphone modes and so that a desired directional response is obtained in the two microphone directional mode for any given spacing between the omni-directional microphones.
