Abstract: Contemplated configurations and methods for flue gas treatment comprise a quench section and a scrubbing section that are configured and operated to avoid net condensation of water from the quenched flue gas in the scrubbing section. Consequently, the active agent in the scrubbing medium can be maintained at high concentration and will so allow continuous removal of SOX and NOX to very low concentrations. Moreover, as the scrubbing medium is not diluted by condensate, loss of active agent can be substantially reduced. Especially preferred systems will reduce SO2 concentrations in flue gas to less than 5 ppm, and more typically less than 3 ppm while substantially reducing water and reagent consumption.

Abstract: Devices and methods for improving the function of a valve (e.g., mitral valve) by positioning an implantable device outside and adjacent the heart wall such that the device alters the shape of the heart wall acting on the valve. The implantable device may alter the shape of the heart wall acting on the valve by applying an inward force and/or by circumferential shortening (cinching). The shape change of the heart wall acting on the valve is sufficient to change the function of the valve, and may increase coaptation of the leaflets, for example, to reduce regurgitation.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine is operated with direct fuel injection into the combustion chambers. Furthermore, the internal combustion engine is operated with sub-optimum ignition angle efficiency and an apportionment of a fuel quantity, which is to be injected before the start of a combustion, into at least two partial injections. A torque loss which results from the sub-optimum ignition angle efficiency and/or from the apportionment of the fuel to be injected is compensated by means of an increased charge of the combustion chambers. The fuel quantity and the charge are coordinated with one another in such a way that the air ratio lambda of the combustion chamber charges is greater than 1. The method is characterized in that a measure for a temperature of the catalytic converter, in particular a measure for the temperature at the inlet of the catalytic converter, is determined and in that a quantity of reducing exhaust-gas constituents is increased by means of at least one intervention into the control of the internal combustion engine if the measure for the temperature exceeds a predetermined temperature threshold value. The approach according to the invention permits rapid heating of the catalytic converter, wherein the hydrocarbon emissions when the catalytic converter is cold are at the same time as low as possible.

Abstract: A zone location system with ultrasound US transmitters S1, S2, S3 located in respective zones Z1, Z2, Z3 such as rooms of a building B. Preferably, the US transmitters are time-multiplexed so that each of them in turn transmits a US signal US with a unique ID code USID represented therein. The portable tag PT includes an ultrasound receiver USR arranged to receive the US signal. Based on the received US signal, the portable tag PT measures a strength of the received US signal. The portable tag PT also measures a parameter related to a movement of the portable tag PT, e.g. a Doppler shift based on the received US signal. Further, the portable tag extracts the USID. Then it transmits a wireless Radio Frequency signal RFS with its own ID PTID, the USID and first and second data values D1, D2 representing the signal strength and the movement related parameters. A processor P connected to a Radio Frequency receiver RFR receives the data from the portable tag PT and determines a connection between PTID and the zone Z2 in which it is present based on the USID. Further, the processor utilizes data D1 and D2 to calculate an estimated position POS within the zone Z2. Especially, estimated distance between US transmitter S2 and portable tag PT and velocity of the portable tag may be estimated based on D1 and D2, thus assisting in estimating the position POS of the portable tag PT. The system may further be combined with a Radio Frequency based positioning system, e.g. an RF signal strength based system, thereby enhancing the resolution of the estimated position POS of the portable tag PT. Further, such combined system help location in complicated and changing environments and in situations where the portable tag PT may be out of reach for US signals, e.g. when attached to a paper file enclosed in a box.

Abstract: User inputs and/or URL requests in a content description language (for example HTML) are passing by a security service for example a Web application firewall or a reverse Web proxy server that is placed in front of Web application servers in order to protect the servers from hacking attempts. For validating Web form user inputs and/or URL requests and parameters the content description language is enriched by the security service with additional security tokens that are dynamically created based on the content being transferred. The user receives the information and sends back input and the security tokens. The security service, which added the security tokens, can then verify all provided user input data against the constraints described in the corresponding security token. As a result, the method may block the HTTP request or create log messages or notification events to react on violations of the user input data compared to the constraints in the security token.

Abstract: The method involves correcting an estimated value of capacity i.e. reid vapor pressure capacity, to vaporize the fuel in an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle using a multiplicative operator (25) and a summer (35), according to richness coefficient of burned fuel and air mixture determined by a richness regulation unit. The engine speed evolution during the cold-starting of the engine is compared with respect to the reference engine speed evolution using an estimating unit. The correction of the estimated value is authorized if the richness coefficient is beyond value ranges. The value ranges are the function of the temperature of the engine.
