Title: Process for recovering alkali metals and sulfur from alkali metal sulfides and polysulfides
Inventor: GORDON JOHN
IPC: C10G32/02
Filed: 2008-11-25
Abstract: Alkali metals and sulfur may be recovered from alkali polysulfides in an electrolytic process that utilizes an electrolytic cell (200) having an alkali ion conductive membrane. An anolyte solution includes an alkali polysulfide and a solvent that dissolves elemental sulfur. A catholyte solution includes alkali metal ions and a catholyte solvent. Applying an electric current oxidizes sulfur in the anolyte compartment (206), causes alkali metal ions (210) to pass through the alkali ion conductive membrane to the catholyte compartment (204), and reduces the alkali metal ions (210)in the catholyte compartment (204). Sulfur is recovered by removing and cooling a portion of the anolyte solution to precipitate solid phase sulfur. Operating the cell at low temperature causes elemental alkali metal (222) to plate onto the cathode (220). The cathode (220) may be removed to recover the alkali metal (222) in batch mode or configured as a flexible band to continuously loop outside the catholyte compartment (204) to remove the alkali metal (222).

Abstract: A package for carbonated beverages and the like includes a container, and a closure which can be threadably applied to the container by the provision of respective, cooperating thread formations. In order to facilitate release of gas pressure from within the package during closure removal, the present package includes at least one rotation- inhibiting projection, which can be positioned within a vent groove provided on either the container or closure of the package. Notably, a rotation-inhibiting projection in accordance with the present invention is configured vertically asymmetrically relative to a helix defined by a respective one of the thread formations of the container and closure of the package. The arrangement facilitates release of gas pressure from within the package, and further facilitates convenient manipulation and removal of the closure by consumers by minimizing removal torques for the closure.

Abstract: For gaming, gambling, and lottery systems, and for cryptographic processors in server systems, pseudo-random number generators (PRNG) need to be seeded with truly random data, and it is usually considered important that this random data is made of fair bits with good statistical properties. The invention uses a special set of dice to be handled according to rules for 1) dice shuffling, 2) putting dice to rest in a conventional position, and 3) sensing the discrete outcome. The required system logic is disclosed so that the overall process of random outcome generation, sensing, and conversion into internal random data can be supported by the digital systems that need it. The bar code technology is applied in a novel arrangement such that the whole process is efficient and secure.

Abstract: A mechanism for indicating ambient temperature (Ta) of an enclosure (14) from temperatures determined within the enclosure (14). The temperatures may be obtained from two or more sensors (12, 13, 18) at each of two or more locations within the enclosure (14). The enclosure (14) may include an apparatus (27) inside such as electronics of which power consumption may be determined. Data including temperatures (T1, T2) of two locations within the enclosure (14) at various electronics power consumption levels may be entered into a 2-D plot. An approximation of the 2-D plot may be effected with an appropriate equation to be solved for ambient temperature (Ta). The data of the 2-D plot plus temperatures (T3) of a third location and air flow levels in the enclosure (14) may be entered into a 3-D plot.  An approximation of the 3-D plot may be effected with an appropriate equation to be solved for ambient temperature (Ta).

Abstract: Embodiments use seismic processing methods that account for the spatial variability of surface wave velocities.  Embodiments analyze surface wave properties by rapidly characterizing spatial variability of the surface waves in the seismic survey data (302). Filtering criteria are formed using the spatial variability of the surface waves (204). The filtering criteria can then be used to remove at least a portion of the surface waves from the seismic data (206, 319). The rapid characterization involves estimating a local group velocity of the surface waves by cross-correlation of the analytic signals (302).

Abstract: In accordance with various aspects of the present invention, a method and circuit for reducing power consumption of a power strip, wall outlet system, power module and the like is provided.  In an exemplary embodiment, a power circuit is configured for reducing or eliminating power during idle mode by disengaging an electrical connection from power input. An exemplary power circuit may be in communication with an AC power input, and may include a current transformer, a control circuit, and a switch. The current transformer secondary winding provides an output power level signal proportional to the outlet load. If behavior of the current transformer secondary winding indicates that the power circuit is drawing substantially no power from the AC power input, the switch facilitates disengaging of the current transformer primary from the power circuit.

Abstract: Techniques for sending control information in a wireless communication system are described. In one design, a user equipment (UE) may map first information (e.g., CQI information) to M  most significant bits (MSBs) of a message and may map second information (e.g., ACK information) to N least significant bits (LSBs) of the message if the second information is sent, where M>= 1 and N>= 1.  The UE may encode the message with a block code, e.g., encode the M MSBs with the first M basis sequences of the block code and encode the N LSBs with the next N basis sequences of the block code.  The second information may include N ACK bits.  The UE may set each ACK bit to a first value for an ACK or to a second value for a NACK. The second value may also be used for discontinuous transmission (DTX) of ACK information.
