Title: Reducing pulp mill liquid discharge
Inventor: RYHAM ROLF
IPC: D21C11/10
Filed: 1993-10-12
Granted: 1997-07-01
Abstract: A pulp mill has zero or minimum liquid discharges. The large amounts of liquid that must be processed to achieve this result are handled utilizing a multiple effect evaporator provided with heat from a steam exhaust of a condensing type steam turbine.  Super heated steam from the recovery and bark boilers is fed to the turbine to generate electricity for the production of bleaching chemical and other uses in the mill.  Three or four steam exhausts having different composite temperature and pressure values are taken from the turbine and used where most suitable in the pulp mill.  For evaporation of bleach plant effluent the steam taken from the turbine preferably has a pressure of about 1-3 psia and a temperature of about 120-140°F, and has no significant adverse affect on power generation.

Title: Method for coating using molten organosiloxane compositions
Inventor: CIFUENTES MARTIN E
IPC: H05K3/28
Filed: 1994-06-07
Granted: 2003-04-01
Abstract: Organosiloxane compositions comprising specified combinations of MQ resins and liquid polyorganosiloxanes are applied as molten materials to form coatings that are non-flowable under ambient conditions and that can initially be remelted by heating the coating above its flow transition temperature. In the presence of moisture, the flow transition temperature of the coating gradually increases due to the reaction of hydrolyzable groups on the polyorganosiloxane ingredient until the coating is converted to a non-flowable, resin reinforced elastomer. Preferred coatings are non-transferable at 25°C. within ten minutes following application.

Title: Clutch assembly with automatic oil level control system
Inventor: BELL DOUGLAS W
IPC: F16N19/00
Filed: 1994-09-21
Granted: 1999-05-11
Abstract: A clutch assembly for a vehicle with selective front wheel drive includes an automatic oil level control system. The clutch assembly includes a housing which encloses a hydraulic clutch. The hydraulic clutch, when engaged, connects a front wheel drive shaft to a main vehicle drive shaft. Since the hydraulic clutch has a tendency to leak fluid into the housing, the fluid level within the housing is controlled by pressurizing the housing via compressed air from a turbocharger or the like. A pair of blow back tubes extend into the housing from opposite sides of the housing, and are interconnected and then connected to an unpressurized reservoir, such as the crankcase or transmission case, via an excess oil evacuation line. The blow back tubes have open ports which are positioned such that, when oil simultaneously covers the ports in both blow back tubes, excess oil is evacuated to the connected reservoir. The blow back tube ports are positioned such that excess oil is detected and evacuated when the clutch and drive shaft are static or dynamically rotating.

Abstract: A Vector-Sum Excited Linear Predictive Coding (VSELP) speech coder provides improved quality and reduced complexity over a typical speech coder. VSELP uses a codebook which has a predefined structure such that the computations required for the codebook search process can be significantly reduced. This VSELP speech coder uses single or multi-segment vector quantizer of the reflection coefficients based on a Fixed-Point-Lattice-Technique (FLAT). Additionally, this speech coder uses a pre-quantizer to reduce the vector codebook search complexity and a high-resolution scalar quantizer to reduce the amount of memory needed to store the reflection coefficient vector codebooks. Resulting in a high quality speech coder with reduced computations and storage requirements.
