Filed: 2006-06-29
Abstract: This invention is a chemical process for decomposing an aqueous complex precious metal salt into an insoluble oxide precipitate, which is altered to an anhydrous oxide or is reduced to a metal, comprising the neutralizing and changing of a primary inorganic acid solution to a secondary solution of formic acid, and decomposing the formic acid, by the addition of hydrogen peroxide, which produces carbonic acid, in which a precious metal salt precipitates as a hydrate oxide, which then is altered by heat to become an anhydrous oxide, or is reduced to a metal by mixing said hydrate oxide into a formic acid solution and boiling said mixture to dryness in an atmosphere, devoid of oxygen. This process is based on the novel consideration that inter-molecular water is integrally locked into the molecular structure of aqueous salts, which has applications in every aspect of wet-lab chemistry, particularly, the analyses and extraction of precious metals from aqueous acid solutions.

Title: Methods and apparatus for reducing power consumption during network scanning operations with adverse battery conditions
Inventor: ABDEL-KADER SHERIF
IPC: H04W52/02
Filed: 2006-08-28
Abstract: In a mobile communication device, a scanning operation is performed with use of a wireless transceiver to identify one or more available wireless communication networks in a given coverage area. Each time the scanning operation fails to result in any connection between the mobile device and a wireless network, the scanning operation is repeated after delaying for a next delay period of a plurality of scanning delay periods n =  [n1, n2, ..., upper limit]. Initially, an upper limit of the plurality of scanning delay periods n = [n1, n2, ..., upper limit] is established at a value of M. During operation, the mobile device monitors to identify whether a predetermined battery condition, such as a low battery capacity or high battery discharge rate, exists. If the predetermined battery condition exists, the upper limit of the plurality of scanning delay periods n = [n1, n2, ..., upper limit] is reestablished at a value of N > M. If a more severe battery condition exists, the upper limit of the plurality of scanning delay periods n = [n1, n2, ..., upper limit] is reestablished at a value of P > N > M. Advantageously, power consumption is reduced during adverse battery conditions of the mobile device.

Abstract: A restriction flowmeter, comprising a measuring tube (31) having two members, that are, a primary measuring tube (31A) and a secondary measuring tube (31B).  The primary measuring tube (31A) comprises a primary pressure outlet (4) and is flange-connected to a bent tube (21) after being angularly adjusted around its axis relative to the secondary measuring tube (31B). By this angular adjustment of the primary measuring tube (31A), the general average height of the primary pressure (PH) of measured fluid (7) near the primary pressure outlet (4) is allowed to generally match the height of the primary pressure outlet (4). Since the average height of the primary pressure (PH) of the measured fluid (7) near the primary pressure outlet (4) when the primary measurement tube (31A) is connected to the bent tube (21) is generally equal to the center height of the primary measurement tube (31A), the primary measuring tube (31A) is connected to the secondary measuring tube (31B) in the state of the primary pressure outlet (4) facing just sideways. The secondary measurement tube (31B) comprises a restrictor (3) and the secondary pressure outlet (5), and is flange-connected to a horizontal tube (20B) in the state of the secondary pressure outlet (5) facing upward.
