Patent EP-0939669-A1 (EP)
Inventor: PENTH BERND
IPC: B01D46/42
Filed: 1998-09-18
Abstract: The invention relates to a gas filter, a method for producing a gas filter and the use of said gas filter. The filtering of gases, especially gases containing solid impurities, such as automobile exhaust gases, is difficult since the solids which are filtered out gradually clog up the filter. The inventive gas filter can be used for longer periods since it can be regenerated. The invention is characterised in that the filter has a composite material which is easy to heat by means of applying a voltage to its electroconductive support material. Thermally decomposable substances which could block the filter are thus decomposed. The inventive filter can be used wherever gases containing thermally decomposable solid impurities need to be purified.
Patent EP-0951336-A1 (EP)
Inventor: TAKASHINA TORU
IPC: B01D53/80
Filed: 1998-11-10
Abstract: This invention is related to a wet gas process which would not require a spray pump, and which would allow the absorption liquid to be recovered smoothly even if the flow velocity of the gases entrained to the liquid should decrease. A wet gas processing apparatus in which the absorption liquid collected in the first liquid storage tank is sprayed in a specified direction (which may be upward, horizontal or downward) by a discharge unit consisting of spray nozzles (14) or the like in the absorption tower. The sprayed liquid is brought into contact with the exhaust gases which are conducted into the tower, and the targeted components of the gases are absorbed and removed. This processing apparatus is distinguished by the following. The first liquid storage tank for the absorption liquid comprises a pressure tank (11) which generates a pressurized gas in the space above the surface of the collected liquid (11a). The increased pressure of the pressurized gas is employed to spray the liquid collected in the pressurized tank from the spray nozzle unit in the absorption tower. This apparatus is further distinguished as the following. This invention has overflow ports which generate a virtually horizontal overflow or source flow. The absorption liquid propelled by the overflow ports makes orthogonal contact with the flow of exhaust gases, which results in both atomization of the liquid and liquid-vapor contact.

IPC: H04W88/02

Abstract: A method for power estimation in DS-CDMA schemes employing non-coherent detection is disclosed. By buffering channel complex amplitudes and, subsequent to non-coherent detection of a received symbol, coherently averaging the complex amplitudes retrieved, an accurate power estimate is achieved. By further estimating the Doppler frequency in an alternate embodiment, an even better estimate can be achieved. The amplitude of the channel can be regarded as constant over a longer time period than merely one symbol and the coherent averaging generates more accurate power estimates than that achieved by non-coherent averaging. By estimating the Doppler frequency and only averaging coherently over a period no longer than the coherence time an even better estimate is achieved. The variance of the estimates is decreased and the effect of biasing is increasingly limited.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of shrink film wrapping of
one or more objects (15). The method employs two film webs, a first (1) and a
second (2). The first film web carries a pre-printed decorative artwork with
regularly recurring register maintenance markings. The second film web (2)
is blank and carries no register maintenance markings. The two film webs (1,
2) are joined or fused together when the objects (15) are moved in by means
of a pusher (16) towards the film webs (1, 2), in one or more rows. A sealing
device (18, 19), consisting of an upper (18) and a lower (19) sealing jaw,
stretches the film webs (1, 2) around the objects (15) and once seals the film
webs (1, 2). During the downward movement of the upper sealing jaw (18),
the first film web (1) is held fast by a brake (8). The first film web (1) is held
in register in that the first film web (1), during the sealing, is advanced by
means of a drive roller (6) for the formation of a loosely hanging loop (21).

Abstract: The method involves measuring the pressure difference across at least one orifice plate arranged in a flow channel (1). During this measurement, the static pressure is measured at a control measuring position, using a predetermined relationship between static pressure and volume flow. A fault is indicated if the flows measured using the static pressure and using the pressure difference differ significantly. The method involves measuring the pressure difference across at least one orifice plate arranged in a flow channel (1). During this measurement, the static pressure is measured at a control measuring position spaced from the orifice plate, with the same volume flow as the orifice plate, using a predetermined relationship between static pressure and volume flow. A fault is indicated if the flows measured using the static pressure and using the pressure difference differ by a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: The automatic play adjuster for a motor vehicle parking brake has a lever acting on a pivoting yoke (4) on which one end of a tie rod (2) is articulated. In its external surface the tie rod comprises a stack of truncated projections forming successive stop notches (14). A compensator (7) fastened to the traction cable is able to act on the brake drum or disc and a compression spring (13) supported on an adjustable stop (11,12) is immobilized on the tie rod end (10) opposite the yoke.

Abstract: After the V-phase (presedimentation) and before the R-phase (stirring) sedimented, thickened activated sludge from the SU-tank (sedimentation and circulation tank) is recycled (S-phase) into the B-tank (activated sludge tank). Preferred features: Recycling is effected during or preferably after the A-phase (extraction). The volume with lower dry matter than introduced sedimented activated sludge displaced in the S-phase in the B-tank, is recycled through openings close to the surface into the SU-tank. These only permit flow in the S- and R- phases, and are closed in the V- and A- phases. The openings are closed with flaps. These open automatically during the greater differences in level between the B- and SU- tanks during the S- and R- phases.With reduced water level differences in the B- and A- phases they remain closed. Stirring in the SU- tank (R-phase) is effected by air injection, or by electrically-driven stirrers. Recycle of sedimented and thickened activated sludge is effected in the S-phase by a compressed air lift pump or by electrically-driven stirrers. Further similar variations are described, and processing durations and levels are detailed.
