Abstract: The passive axial magnet bearing comprises permanent magnets ( 1, 2 ) arranged with alternating polarization on a rotor ( 1, 2, 8 ). These cause an oscillating flow through the coils (L) on both sides of the rotor ( 1, 2, 8 ). All coils (L) are series connected in an electric circuit ( 3 ). As long as the rotor ( 1, 2, 8 ) rotates in the middle position, no current flows in the electric circuit ( 3 ), since the voltages across the coils (L) cancel each other due to the symmetry. However, when the rotor ( 1, 2, 8 ) deviates from the center position, a current flows and the coils (L) exert electromagnetically a restoring force on the permanent magnets ( 1, 2 ). The bearing can also be equipped with an integrated drive. For this purpose, it is extended by drive coils. The production of the bearing is simple and inexpensive.

Abstract: A novel air knife. The novel air knife is circumferential. That is, the novel air knife injects a gas stream along the inside walls of the air knife. The air knife can be advantageously placed at or near the entrance to a suspension vessel to reduce buildup of solid materials transported to the suspension vessel. The gas stream is injected at a rate sufficient to reduce the buildup of solid materials on the walls of the air knife (and thus at the entrance to the suspension vessel). The air circumferential air knife is particularly useful in a TiCl4 production process for reducing buildup of hygroscopic cyclone dust at the entrance to a suspension vessel.

Abstract: The method involves a radio system which receives an RF analogous signal at RF sections, from an antenna (10), for IF transfer and filtering. This is then input to an A/D converter and then a demodulator for restoring a broadband, spread-coded pseudo-noise signal to a narrowband data signal using an incoherent demodulator. An orthogonal demodulator determines the bits of the received data signal. A signal noise estimate is formed (14) and a selector, selects the base station transceiver unit candidates with the best connections for a future connection. The channel decoder (16) decodes a convolution-coded signal based on a Viterbi algorithm and a source decoder (17) decodes a residually excited linear predictive signal from the channel decoder for a loudspeaker.
