Patent EP-2301176-A1 (EP)
Inventor: JIANG SONG
IPC: H04B10/2581
Filed: 2009-05-13
Abstract: For wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) communications, apparatus and methods are provided for performing tone-based optical channel monitoring that is less sensitive to stimulated Raman scattering (SRS). In tone-based optical channel monitoring, in which WDM channels are modulated with one or more tones, detecting and measuring the tone power is commonly used as a measure of signal power in each channel. In WDM systems with long fiber spans and high signal powers, however, SRS tends to transfer energy from shorter wavelengths to longer wavelengths, whereby the tones are no longer accurately indicative of the signal power of the individual wavelength channels. Apparatus and methods are provided which reduce the effect of SRS by filtering the monitored WDM signals into sub-bands and detecting each sub-band independently.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing of tall oil from soap oil and to the use of a bicarbonate brine deactivation reaction in the production of tall oil. Soap oil is produced by neutralization of tall oil soap with carbon dioxide. Bicarbonate brine remaining in admixture with the soap oil is deactivated with a first portion of a strong acid and then the soap oil is acidulated with a second portion of a strong acid in order to free the tall oil. The deactivation reaction releases carbon dioxide gas and reduces foaming in the acidulation.

Abstract: A method and a system are provided for controlling a controller without physically touching the controller. A hand or other object interacts with a field surrounding the controller, altering the field. A change in characteristic of the altered field causes a corresponding movement of the controller that, in turn, corresponds to an amount of change in a parameter of a target device being controlled by the controller. The parameter of the target device is controlled by the controller while a user has no physical contact with the controller.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a crushing system with two rotating disk sections which allows applying high pressures without the problem of raw material rejection and with a reduced number of crushing cycles, thus shortening the crushing time. Pressure is gradually distributed between the two similar rotating disk sections which are arranged face to face and connected to non-aligned shafts, such that the lower sides of the disk sections remain always joined. The disk section mounting assembly is independent and has different features, forming a fixed part and a movable part for adjusting the vegetable mass being compacted. This crushing system has structural features that allow different uses (in isolation, in tandem or in combination), and the serial combination thereof in appropriate industrial infrastructures or in harvesters of standing crops, such as sugar cane.

Abstract: The invention proposes a method and an apparatus for reducing break duration in handover of a VoIP conversation from a packet switch domain to a circuit switch domain. The main idea is that a synchronization mechanism is introduced between the session handover procedure at IP multimedia subsystem IMS layer and a cell handover procedure at layer 2, so that enable the two handover procedures to start at or almost at the same time. When a Mobile Switching Centre MSC server receives a request of handover from the source Mobility Management Entity MME, the time required from the time the MSC server transmitting a message to this message arriving at a remote end user equipment UE is computed first, and then is compared with a predetermined time required from the time the MSC server transmitting a message to this message arriving at the local UE. According to the comparison result, determining an order and time for the MSC server transmitting a request of session handover to the Service Centralization and Continuity Application Server (SCC AS) and transmitting a request of cell handover to the source MME, and transmitting above two requests in according to the order and time, to ensure that the time that the request of session handover arrives at the remote end communication terminal is the same or almost same as the time that the request of cell handover arrives at the local communication terminal.

Abstract: This invention concerns an enhanced process and apparatus for the preparation of high purity Si by reduction of SiCl 4  in a molten Zn bath covered by a layer of molten salts. 
     The process is characterized in that the Si is recovered on a cooled body submerged in the molten Zn bath. 
     The reactor is preferably equipped with a separate zone for extraction of the cooled body, this zone being either covered by a relatively thin layer of molten salts, or even being free of salts. Alternatively, this zone can be covered by salts having a composition selected so as to minimize the contamination of the Si. 
     Using a cooled body, large Si crystals are formed, which are not prone to surface oxidation. The preferred embodiments tend to limit the contamination of the Si deposits by the salts upon extraction of the cooled body.

Abstract: The present invention relates to resorcinol-formalin resins containing no inorganic salts, having a moderate flowability when transformed into an aqueous solution, and having a reduced content of resorcinol monomer and a reduced content of resorcinol-formalin resin of resorcinol pentanuclear or higher nuclear bodies. The recorcinol-formalin resins are obtainable by a production process where the whole steps include an one-stage reaction and liquid-liquid distribution being conducted in the same reactor. The production process resulting in the resorcinol-formalin resins of the invention comprises adding resorcinol, an inorganic salt, and an organic solvent having a solubility parameter of 7.0 to 12.5 to a water solvent, stirring the mixture to give a two-phase system containing no remaining solid matter, adding an acid catalyst, adding formalin dropwise into the reaction system to cause a liquid-liquid heterogeneous reaction to proceed, removing the aqueous layer, adding an organic solvent and water to the reaction product layer, the amount of the water being half of the amount of the organic solvent, stirring the resulting mixture, allowing it to stand, and then removing the aqueous layer to obtain the resorcinol-formalin resin of the invention. Thereby, the organic solvent (C) is a specific ketone represented by the general formula [1]: R 1 C(O)R 2 , wherein R 1  and R 2  each independently represent a methyl group, an ethyl group, an n-propyl group, a 2-propyl group, an n-butyl group, a secondary butyl group, an isobutyl group, or a tertiary butyl group; and R 1  and R 2  may be combined to form a ring.
