Abstract: A method for removing and stabilizing in-situ soluble heavy metal contaminants in land formations which comprises introducing into said formation an aqueous remediation solution comprising naturally-occurring ions present in said formation and remediation ions. The remediation solution selectively solubilizes and mobilizes the heavy metal contaminants into solution while substantially suppressing the displacement of said naturally-occurring ions from said formation. The method is effective with heavy metals which exist in both anionic and cationic form, and may be used to treat land formations below the surface to reduce soluble heavy metal contamination to a few parts per billion.

Abstract: A packet switch interface (14), which may be an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) layer interface chip, may be connected to the inputs or the outputs of a packet switch. The interface chip modifies the virtual parth and the virtual channel identifier in packets directed to and from the switch. The interface chip also manipulates routing tags for the packets which are used for internal routing purposes in the switch. The interface chip includes a local interface (42) through which packets may be extracted from or added to a packet stream flowing between a main input (11) and a main output (17) of the interface. The interface chip polices different communications channels handled in the interface chip by detecting whether traffic in those channels exceeds certain network usage parameters. The interface is also capable of gathering certain statistical information about the traffic in certain communications channels to allow evaluation of network performance. These operations are performed in hardware on a single integrated circuit chip involving a single table look up. This table look up involves addressing a content addressable memory (32) with a predetermined portion of the header of a packet. Finding a match between the predetermined portion of the packet header and the content of the content addressable memory causes the memory to produce an address signal which acts as a pointer to a location in a random address memory (34) containing a parameter block having data used to perform the operations of the interface.

Abstract: The critical dimensions of product samples made during a standard certification procedure for an injection molding process are measured and a loss factor value is computed for each such dimension. Using statistical techniques, the largest loss factor value is partitioned into percentages of loss contributed by a predetermined set of loss elements. The loss element contributing the largest percentage is corrected so as to improve the quality of the process and the product. The method provides a way of determining what kinds of process corrections will most effectively improve product and process quality.

Abstract: A vacuum valve (15) includes: a pressure control chamber (83) for giving a vacuum force to a valve body (71) capable of connecting a valve operating chamber (25) with a vacuum passage; a detecting valve (68) capable of introducing a vacuum force into the pressure control chamber (83); a plunger (65) directly driven by a liquid detecting diaphragm (60), wherein the plunger (65) drives the detecting valve (68); and an opening time adjusting valve (74) which is opened so that the vacuum introduced into the pressure control chamber (83) can be released, wherein the opening time is automatically controlled by the vacuum in the vacuum discharge pipe (14). Furthermore, when the inside of a liquid level detecting pipe section (56) is quickly decompressed, pressure in a pressure adjusting chamber (102) is quickly released through a gap formed between a damping diaphragm (59) and supporting section (112). The pressure adjusting chamber (102) is communicated with an upper pressurizing chamber (81) through a communicating hole (103). Therefore, when the pressure adjusting chamber (102) is quickly decompressed, the upper pressurizing chamber (81) is also quickly decompressed. Due to the foregoing, resilient deformation of a liquid level detecting diaphragm (60) is quickly cancelled, and the pushing action conducted by a plunger (65) on a detecting valve (68) is released.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an arrangement to emphasize edges appearing in a video picture. The arrangement according to the invention comprises an edge detection means (ED) which processes a video signal formed by samples corresponding to pixels, and which at each sample detects the occurrence of an edge and the direction of the edge when it occurs. The arrangement is characterized in that it further comprises for different directions a set (FB) of unidimensional edge emphasizing filters (F1, F2, F3, F4) which represent all possible directions. A control signal (SEL) from the edge detection means (ED), which corresponds to the occurrence of an edge and the direction of the edge, as a response causes a means (SW3) to select from this set that edge emphasizing filter (F1, F2, F3, F4) which has a direction which is closest to the perpendicular direction of the detected edge, and then the selected filter performs the filtering. The solution according to the invention, in which the edge emphasizing is made by unidimensional filtering only when an edge occurs, and in the direction closest to the perpendicular direction of the detected edge, provides a simple edge emphasizing (peaking) process which almost evenly emphasizes all edges, irrespective of their direction. Motion detection and noise reduction by an averaging spatial-temporal algorithm can be added to the edge emphasizing process according to the invention in a case when no edge or motion is detected.

The cellular structure of the foamed adhesive permits water vapor to pass through, however, wind and liquid water is inhibited from passing through the foam barrier. The foamed adhesive is inhibited from penetrating deeply into the fabric substrate during manufacture by an adhesive barrier material on the fabric which may be substantially removed during later processing. The resultant fabric is drapable and particularly suited for use in apparel, replacing two or more single purpose fabric layers within one multi purpose fabric layer.

Abstract: A process for heteroatom removal-enhancing hydrogenation of highly refractory aromatic ring structures that involves contacting a highly refractory structure having at least one aryl linkage connecting a first heteroaryl moiety and a moiety selected from the group consisting of an aryl moiety and a second heteroaryl moiety with supercritical water having a temperature of from about 400°C to about 600°C in the presence of from about 3.4 MPa to about 18.6 MPa of CO to produce lower molecular weight products having decreased aromatic and heteroatom content. The process has utility for producing more valuable lower molecular weight products having a reduced aromatic heteroatom content from starting materials that are highly refractory and widely considered to be difficult to upgrade such as coals and asphaltenes, and model compounds containing the biaryl linkages.

Abstract: A method for amplification and detection of a low copy target nucleic acid includes coamplification of a high copy target nucleic acid. After a number of conventional amplification cycles which include a denaturation step, several cycles are carried out during which the denatured products are renatured for a brief period of time. This intermediate step in later cycles of the amplification process reduces the effective concentration of the high copy target nucleic acid available for amplification in later cycles, thereby making more DNA polymerase available for amplification of the low copy target nucleic acid.
