Patent EP-0402019-A3 (EP)
IPC: B01D3/18
Filed: 1990-05-25
Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for removing catalyst (109) 
from a distillation column reactor (100) and replacing the catalyst 
with fresh or regenerated catalyst. More specifically a small 
particulate catalyst is supported by wire mesh or screen or filter 
medium on trays (101,103) in a conventional distillation column and 
substantially submerged by the liquid on the trays. The vapor 
rising through the liquid tends to keep the catalyst in 
suspension in the liquid. A draw-off (111) is provided for each tray 
having catalyst supported thereon whereby liquid containing the 
suspended or slurried catalyst can be removed to a separator (200) 
during operation. The catalyst is separated, as in a settling 
tank separator, from the liquid recycled to the tray until all 
the catalyst has been removed. The separated catalyst is removed 
for either regeneration or discarding. Fresh catalyst can then 
be added to the separator where it is slurried into the liquid 
again being recirculated from the tray. The trays can all be 
connected to the same separator/slurry mixer by the appropriate 
piping and manifolds.

Title: Measuring thermal neutron flux
IPC: G21C17/10
Filed: 1990-06-12
Abstract: Local power range monitor strings (Fig. 2A) typically 
including four vertically spaced monitoring sites are 
provided in the core of a boiling water nuclear reactor. 
Each monitoring site includes a conventional local power 
range detector (M) in which fissionable material (64) 
exposed to thermal neutron radiation produces fission 
fragments, ionizes a gas (68) and produces a current between 
an anode and a cathode. Each local power range detector (M) 
is provided with one or two adjacent gamma thermometers (T). 
Each gamma thermometer (T) includes an interior mass (74) 
heated by gamma radiation, a thermocouple (78) for measuring 
the heated mass and a reference thermocouple (80) connected 
in series. Both the local power range detector and the 
gamma thermometer(s) are arranged in a string with 
individual connecting cables leading to external connectors, 
one for each detector and gamma thermometer. When the 
string is inserted into the core and the reactor operated at 
a steady state, the gamma thermometers are utilized to 
calibrate the local power range detectors in conjunction 
with a conventional reactor heat balance. By the expedient 
of referencing the gamma flux to the output of the heat 
balance, calibration of the local power range monitors 
occurs over their useful in-service life.

Title: Method for producing explosive substances
IPC: B01F13/10
Filed: 1990-05-23
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing, by means of working, mixing and homogenizing, castable explosive substances of high viscosity containing crystalline and/or particulate explosives and, if appropriate, other action-enhancing additives and such small quantities of binder and other viscosity-reducing agents that the mixture in the unworked state virtually feels like and behaves like a dry powder. In order to achieve the desired working, mixing and homogenizing, the components are brought to the roll nip between two helically grooved rolls, which form part of a so-called mixing, sheaving and rolling mill. The rolls are arranged at an adjustable distance from each other and counter-rotating at different speeds. The mixture is worked on and between the rolls until the air between the particles included has been pressed out sufficiently to convert the previously pulverulent mixture to a coherent mass of high viscosity. The material is removed from the fastest rotating roll in continuous form or in a newly formed particulate form associated therewith.

Patent EP-0655692-A3 (EP)
Inventor: OJALA JORMA
IPC: G06F13/40
Filed: 1994-11-23
Abstract: The object of the invention is an expanded PCMCIA interface and a method for
identifying such an expanded interface. According to the invention, among the
power transmission pins of a standard PCMCIA interface, two of which are
reserved for operating voltage and four for ground potential (P1, P2, P3, P4),
maximally one operating voltage pin and three ground potential pins (P1, P2, P3,
P4) have been redefined such that they are connected to a different voltage than
standard voltage (GND, GND, VCC). This allows analogue and/or digital signals to
be transferred through the redefined pins. Each redefined pin is preferably provided
with a resistance coupling (Ra, R2, R3), by means of which the voltage prevailing
in the redefined pin (P1, P2, P3, P4) has been raised (VCC) respectively dropped
(GND) compared to the ground potential (GND) and operating voltage (VCC) of a
standard pin. The PCMCIA interface according to the invention is identified such
that the voltages of the redefined pins (P1, P2, P3, P4) are examined in a PCMCIA
card (14) equipped with an expanded PCMCIA interface which can be installed in
the PCMCIA card slot (16) of the host device (1) immediately after the card has
been installed, and if the card slot (16) is identified as a card slot of an expanded
PCMCIA interface (13), signals can be transferred through these redefined pines
(P1, P2, P3, P4).

Abstract: A demodulating circuit demodulates a received signal, and outputs patterns of
demodulated data and reliability information bits indicating correctness of the demodulated
data. These are supplied to first and second shift registers (4 and 5), respectively. When
the number of reliability information bits of Level 1 in the second shift register is a
predetermined value or less, a shift operation is repeated a plurality of times. When a
reliability information bit of Level 1 is outputted, an error correction control circuit (7)
successively outputs all possible bit patterns of the demodulated data. An EXOR gate
(10) generates all possible patterns of demodulated data. An error correcting circuit (11)
carries out error correction for all the patterns. When the number is larger than the
predetermined value, the error correction is carried out only for the demodulated data
supplied from the demodulating circuit in a conventional manner.

Abstract: One telephone link (136, 137, 138) is assigned to each wireless set
(111-114) and each of the assigned telephone links is connected to all of a plurality
of PCS systems (121,122). Each of the PCS systems has a plurality of base stations
(115-118) on which wireless sets can register. When an incoming call is received for
a wireless set (111) by a switching system (121) terminating the telephone links, the
switching system transmits a new call message on the telephone link (136) assigned
to the wireless set. The PCS system on which the wireless set is registered responds
to the new call message by establishing a connection from the wireless set to the
telephone link. The other PCS systems monitor the state of the call so that if the
wireless set physically moves to a base station (117) connected to a new PCS system
(122), the new PCS system can continue the call without interruption or the
switching system having to perform any additional operations. Also, the PCS
systems can be relatively small. When additional wireless sets are added, it is only
necessary to add another PCS system and to connect all of the telephone links
identified with wireless sets to the new PCS system.

Title: Method and structure for tokenized message logging system
Inventor: WANG LANZHONG
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 1997-12-09
Abstract: Methods and structure for storing log messages (400-410, 900-914) in a tokenized,
international format and for presenting (viewing, printing, etc) (500-508, 600-608) the
tokenized log message in a locally preferred native language. Log messages from a
computing system (204) or application (202) are stored in an international tokenized
format (206-210) which remains constant regardless of the particular nation in which
the system or application is operated. The tokenized format includes a message ID
field which identifies a unique message and includes parameters values which are to
replace variable portions, if any, of the identified message. A plurality of localized
message catalog files (302, 304) are available to retrieve a localized native language
string which corresponds to each tokenized message. The message ID field serves as
an index to the localized catalog files. A viewer program (300) then retrieves a
localized text string message from a selected message catalog file (302, 304) replacing
any variable portions identified therein with parameter values supplied in the tokenized
message. The formatted, localized native language message is then presented (e.g.,
displayed, printed, etc. 308) to the requesting user in their preferred local native
language. The present invention thereby enables users having a first preferred
language (e.g., 100-104) to review or otherwise process logged messages generated
by a system or application operable in an environment having a second preferred
language (e.g., 110-114). The present invention also simplifies parsing problems
relating to automated analysis and post-processing of logged messages. The
tokenized international format of the present invention remains constant regardless of
the preferred local language of the system or application which generated the
message.
