Title: Disc furrow opener scraper positioning system
Inventor: BUTTERFIELD ROBERT
IPC: A01B15/16
Filed: 2002-11-01
Granted: 2005-09-20
Abstract: A furrow opener apparatus comprises a disc rotatably attached to the apparatus such that when the disc engages the ground, a furrow is formed adjacent to a trailing face of the disc. A scraper has a scraper blade oriented substantially parallel to the trailing face of the disc, and mounted such that the scraper blade is oriented in close proximity to or touching a lower portion of the trailing face adjacent to an outer edge of the disc. The scraper is adjustably attached to the apparatus such that the scraper blade can be moved inward along the trailing face of the disc as the disc wears while being maintained substantially parallel to the trailing face of the disc and in close proximity to or touching the trailing face of the disc. A delivery tube for agricultural material can be attached to the apparatus so that it moves in conjunction with the scraper, and the scraper can be biased against the face of the disc.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for multi-rate lattice vector quantization of a source vector x representing a frame from a source signal to be used, for example, in digital transmission and storage systems. The multi-rate lattice quantization encoding method comprises the steps of associating to x a lattice point y in a unbounded lattice .LAMBDA.; verifying if y is included in a base codebook C derived from the lattice .LAMBDA.; if it is the case then indexing y in C so as to yield quantization indices. if not then extending the base codebook using, for example a Voronoi based extension method, yielding an extended codebook; associating to y a codevector c from the extended codebook, and indexing y in the extended codebook C. The extension technique allows to obtain higher bit rate codebooks from the base codebooks compared to quantization method and system from the prior art.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un catalyseur de craquage d'hydrocarbure de pétrole, qui contient de la zéolithe Y de terre rare, ainsi qu'un procédé de préparation correspondant. L'invention se caractérise en ce que ladite terre rare contenant la zéolithe Y présente une teneur en terre rare intracristalline allant de 4 à 15 % en poids sur la base de l'oxyde de terre rare, une constante de cellule unité originale de l'ordre de 2,440 à 2,465 nm, et une dimension de cellule unité compensée supérieure à 2,435 nm après vieillissement dans des conditions extrêmes de 100 % de vapeur, à 800 ·C, pendant 17 heures. Le procédé de préparation dudit catalyseur comprend les étapes suivantes : sécher la terre rare contenant la zéolithe Y, de sorte que sa teneur en eau soit inférieure à 10 % en poids ; introduire un tétrachlorure de silicium gazeux véhiculé par de l'air sec, dans un rapport en poids du tétrachlorure de silicium à la zéolithe Y de 0,1-0,9:1 ; purger avec de l'air sec après réaction ; et laver l'eau décationisée afin d'éliminer les produits secondaires solubles résiduels pour obtenir la terre rare contenant la zéolithe Y ; puis la mélanger avec les matières premières contenant de l'argile et un agglomérant ; battre, pulvériser à sec et façonner. Ledit catalyseur peut réduire la consommation de zéolithe de 5 à 25 %, comparativement aux catalyseurs utilisés pour craquer des huiles lourdes, et réduire les oléfines préparées selon l'art antérieur. Ledit catalyseur présente une activité élevée, une stabilité hydrothermique, un pouvoir élevé de transformation d'huiles lourdes et une bonne sélectivité en termes d'essence, de gaz secs et de coke. Dans le produit, la teneur en oléfine de l'essence peut être abaissée efficacement.
