Inventor: BARBER RUSSELL E
IPC: H04B10/2575
Filed: 1999-07-13
Abstract: In a radio frequency identification (RFID) system using intelligent tags, amplitude and phase noise is minimized by using a low noise crystal oscillator (70) having an output frequency which is an integer multiple of the desired RF field frequency, then dividing this frequency using cascaded flip-flops for the frequency divider (72). Both outputs of the final stage flip-flop drive the transmitter antenna (34) to produce a continuous wave signal. Fiber optics (44) communicate analog tag response signals from the output of the receiver circuit (24) to the input of a tag response signal analyzing module (20) including a digital signal processor (DSP 38), thus providing electrical isolation between these circuit elements, breaking groud loop, stopping internal switching noise from the DSP (38) from entering the receiver circuitry (24), and preventing common mode signals from interfering with the desired RFID tag signal.

Abstract: Exhaust gas of boiler is introduced through gas inlet part (2) of flue-gas desulfurization apparatus, and absorbent liquid sprayed from spray nozzle (5) of absorbent liquid spray section (4) is trapped in liquid trapping section (7). There, agitation is performed by means of propeller (11) of oxidation agitator (8) to thereby oxidize SO2 absorbed from the exhaust gas into gypsum.  In the liquid trapping section (7), oxidation air is fed from posterior air pipe (10) and anterior air pipe (13) behind and ahead of liquid propulsion by the propeller (11). Thus, even when the amount of oxidation air must be increased in accordance with an increase of boiler load, the oxidation efficiency can be enhanced without increasing of the number of agitators.  Accordingly, there can be provided a wet flue-gas desulfurization apparatus and method with which even when the amount of oxidation air fed to the liquid trapping section is increased, highly efficient oxidation can be performed without increasing of the number of agitators installed and the operating cost.

IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2006-12-01
Abstract: Techniques for supporting concurrent data services with different credentials are described. A wireless communication network authenticates a user/device whenever new credentials are used. An access terminal sends first credentials via a Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) link to a Packet Data Serving Node (PDSN) and receives an indication of successful authentication for a first data service based on the first credentials. The access terminal may receive a request for a second data service and second credentials from an internal application or a terminal device coupled to the access terminal. The access terminal then sends the second credentials via the PPP link to the PDSN while the first data service is ongoing. The access terminal receives from the PDSN  an indication of successful authentication for the second data service based on the second credentials. The access terminal may send a Configure-Request packet or an Authenticate-Request packet to trigger or initiate authentication by the PDSN for the second data service.

Abstract: An air belt device for a vehicle, where, in a collision, an inflation section is inflated to an upper position facing occupant's temporal section. A  shoulder section of a seatback (26) of a vehicle seat (12) has cross-sectional shape restriction means (22). An occupant restraining webbing (16) is inserted through the restriction means (22), and the webbing (16) has an inflation section (18) corresponding to the head (14H) of the occupant (14) when inflated. When the inflation section (18) is inflated, the restriction means (22) restricts the cross-sectional shape of the inflation section (18) to a vertically long shape. In a side collision, the inflation shape of the inflation section (18) is restricted by the restriction means (22) to cause the inflation section (18) to be inflated to an upper position facing the temporal section (14S) of the occupant (14). As a result, inertia force, in the vehicle lateral direction, of the head (14H) can be absorbed by the inflation section (18).
