Patent CA-2703065-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ZHU JINGXU
IPC: C02F3/02
Filed: 2008-08-27
Abstract: Biological nutrient removal (BNR) in wastewater treatment to remove carbonaceous substrates, nutrients and phosphorus, has recently become increasingly popular worldwide due to increasingly stringent regulations. Biological fluidized bed (BFB) technology, which could be potentially used for BNR processes, can provide some advantages such as high efficiency and compact structure. This present invention incorporates the fixed-film biological fluidized bed technology with the biological nutrient removal in a twin liquid-solid fluidized bed, which has achieved the simultaneous elimination of organic carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus, in a very efficient manner and with very compact space requirements. The BNR-LSFB has two fluidized beds, running as anoxic/anaerobic and aerobic processes to accomplish simultaneous nitrification and denitrification and to remove carbonaceous substrates, nutrients and phosphorus, with continuous liquid and solids recirculation through the anoxic/anaerobic bed and the aerobic bed. The new BNR-LSFB system is not only an excellent alternative for conventional activated sludge type BNR technologies but is also capable of processing much higher loadings and suitable for industrial applications.

Abstract: A method of deploying temporary fencing includes connecting a first end of spooled fencing wire to a first fencepost, and with the spool rotatably on a vehicle, driving the vehicle toward a second position along a perimeter of an area to be fenced in. During this travel, the rotating spool deploys fencing wire for suspension a distance above ground between the fencepost and the spool. The spool is then removed from the vehicle and mounted on a second fencepost at the second position, thereby suspending the deployed fencing wire between the fenceposts. By mounting the spool onto the second fencepost and leaving deployed fencing wire intact with the remaining spooled wire, time and effort is reduced in later retrieval of the fencing, as there is no need to later re-join a cut length of wire to the spool, or to any wire remaining thereon after the initial fence deployment.

Abstract: A direct downconversion receiver architecture having a DC  loop to remove DC offset from the signal components, a digital variable gain amplifier (DVGA) to provide a range of gains, an automatic gain control (AGC) loop to provide gain control for the DVGA and RF/analog circuitry, and a serial bus interface (SBI) unit to provide controls for the RF/analog circuitry via a serial bus. The DVGA may be advantageously designed and located as described herein. The operating mode of the VGA loop may be selected based on the operating mode of the DC loop, since these two loops interact with one another. The duration of time the DC loop is operated in an acquisition mode may be selected to be inversely proportional to the DC loop bandwidth in the acquisition mode. The controls for some or all of the RF/analog circuitry may be provided via the serial bus.
