Title: Optical repeater for fault tracing in an optical transmission system
Inventor: ANDERSSON OVE BERNT
IPC: H04B17/40
Filed: 1988-06-27
Granted: 1991-03-13
Abstract: The present invention relates to optical repeaters in a two-way optical line link, e.g. one included in a teletransmission system. The optical repeaters are implemented such as to provide a system which, inter alia in fault localizing, utilizes the line link transmission capacity optimally by completely optical through-connection of signals on the optical fibre cables. In fault localizing, one repeater at a time is checked, by an end terminal in the link transmitting a test signal including an address for selecting a repeater for testing and a test pattern. An optical amplifier amplifies the test signal in every repeater through which the signal passes, and when it reaches the repeater indicated by the address, a control circuit controls an optical switch such that the test signal is switched (loop connected) and is returned to the transmitting terminal where fault analysis takes place.

Title: Procedure and apparatus particularly studied for purification of concentrated gaseous emissions, deriving from industrial production cycles
IPC: B01D/
Filed: 1990-01-31
Granted: 1993-07-09
Abstract: The invention concerns a procedure and relative apparatus particularly studied for purification of concentrated gaseous emissions, deriving from industrial production cycles. According to said procedure, the gaseous current undergoes, after an eventual preliminary elimination of the dust, by means of appropriate filters, a processing cycle, designed to achieve: a) the reduction of humidity, by cooling; b) reduction of solvent, due to a further stronger cooling, by liquid nitrogen or other cryogenic liquid. Between the humidity reduction device and the solvent reduction device, a frigorie recuperation device is inserted, consisting of a heat exchanger, which limits the consumption of liquid nitrogen or other cryogenic liquid, in the successive phase. The liquid nitrogen is injected, by nebulizer nozzles, thereby imposing a strong turbulence on the gaseous current, designed to accelerate the thermal exchange.

Title: Cement clinker prodn. in presence of chlorine-contg. cpd. - to decrease reaction temp. and to reduce costs

Granted: 1986-05-14
Abstract: Prodn. of cement clinker from raw materials with addn. of a Cl-contg. cpd. (to decrease the reaction temp.), by sintering the mixt., removing the Cl-contg. cpd. with a steam-gas-air mixt., and regenerating the Cl-contg. cpd. is improved by fluidising the sintered prod. with a steam-gas-air stream, and regenerating the Cl-contg. cpd. by scattering the starting materials into the gaseous effluent stream. The removal of the Cl-contg. cpd. from the sintered prod. is intensified by forming a fluidised bed. The removal of the chlorine cpd. from the effluent gases by adsorption on the raw materials scattered into the effluent stream simplifies the process and reduced the consumption of the Cl-contg. cpd. The reaction temp. is 1000-1100 degrees C (instead of the usual 1400-1500 degrees C) so that the energy consumption is reduced by 30-40%. The grinding of the clinker is facilitated and accelerated with further energy saving. The productivity of the furnace is increased by 50% or more. The total cost of the cement is decreased by 15-20%.
