Abstract: Un séparateur de flottaison de gaz à utiliser dans des réservoirs horizontaux, tels que ceux utilisés pour le stockage de pétrole, les dispositifs de stockage de production flottants à bord et de déchargement (FPSQ), comprend la division du réservoir en une pluralité de chambres fonctionnant en série. Avant d'entrer dans chaque chambre, la phase aqueuse contaminée est mélangée avec un courant contenant des bulles de gaz pour aider à la floculation et à la flottaison du contaminant en phase immiscible. Le courant de recyclage des bulles de gaz peut être généré en injectant un taux contrôlé d'un gaz pressurisé dans un courant liquide de l'eau propre, produite dans un processus extérieur au réservoir ou par induction d'une phase gazeuse interne au réservoir. Le mélange s'écoule dans la première chambre et empiète sur un déversoir d'eau d'entrée oblique. Une portion de la phase immiscible et de la phase gazeuse monte jusqu'en haut de la chambre tandis que les contaminants immiscibles s'écoulent vers le bas avec la phase aqueuse jusqu'au fond de la chambre. La phase aqueuse fait un virage à 180° vers le haut en entrant dans une pluralité de conduits de flux parallèles formés dans la paroi du déflecteur qui sépare la chambre de chaque série. Dans chaque conduit parallèle, un second courant de bulles de gaz est injecté pour aider ultérieurement à la floculation et à la flottaison des contaminants immiscibles. La phase aqueuse se mélange à nouveau en haut de la seconde chambre où elle empiète sur un second déversoir oblique. Ce processus est répété dans la chambre de chaque série jusqu'à la dernière chambre où l'eau nettoyée est pompée hors de la chambre par le biais d'une pompe à liquide. En modifiant le taux d'élimination de l'eau, on peut contrôler le niveau d'eau dans la dernière chambre. Le contaminant de pétrole floculé et flottant peut être éliminé soit 1) par un écrémage périodique dans un déversoir de trop-plein en augmentant le niveau d'eau dans la chambre, ou 2) une aube de rotation continue ou un objet à balai qui lève ou transporte la couche de pétrole flottante loin de la surface de l'eau et la transfère dans un système de collecteur.

Patent CA-2707761-C (CA)

IPC: H04S1/00

Abstract: The following coding scenario is addressed: A number of audio source signals need to be transmitted or stored for the purpose of mixing wave field synthesis, multi-channel surround, or stereo signals after decoding the source signals. The proposed technique offers significant coding gain when jointly coding the source signals, compared to separately coding them, even when no redundancy is present between the source signals. This is possible by considering statistical properties of the source signals, the properties of mixing techniques, and spatial hearing. The sum of the source signals is transmitted plus the statistical properties of the source signals which mostly determine the perceptually important spatial cues of the final mixed audio channels. Source signals are recovered at the receiver such that their statistical properties approximate the corresponding properties of the original source signals. Subjective evaluations indicate that high audio quality is achieved by the proposed scheme.

Abstract: A method and system for processing buffer status reports (BSRs) such that when BSR triggering is performed, the size(s) of the nec-essary sub-header(s) are also to be considered together in addition to the BSR size. The steps of checking whether any padding region is available in a MAC PDU that was constructed, comparing the number of padding bits with the size of the BSR plus its sub-header, and if the number of padding bits is larger than the size of the BSR plus its sub-header, triggering BSR are performed. Doing so allows the sub-header(s) to be inserted or included into the MAC PDU or transport block (TB) or other type of data unit.

Le traitement de la plaque permet d'exécuter une angioplastie ultérieure par ballonnet sans créer de dissections substantielles et à une pression faible de ballonnet, afin d'éviter d'endommager la paroi artérielle. Le traitement de la plaque peut inclure une dilatation de la plaque à une pression faible, suffisamment pour qu'aucune angioplastie par ballonnet ultérieure ne soit nécessaire. La préparation de la plaque peut être suivie par l'application dune ou de quelques pointes annulaires de manière à fixer la plaque comprimée avec une mise en place minimale de matériau étranger.
