Abstract: Method for heating a rotary kiln (1) designed for gasification and pyrolysis of organic material. The energy for heating the rotary kiln (1) is supplied by means of a radiation heat exchanger (2), positioned inside and longitudinally in the rotary kiln (1), and the energy supply to the radiation heat exchanger (2) is provided in a controlled manner over the length thereof, in order to achieve a temperature distribution inside the rotary kiln (1), which is optimised for the desired gasification and pyrolysis. The energy supply to the radiation heat exchanger (2) is provided by controlled combustion of a combustible gas, such as the pyrolytic gas inside the radiation heat exchanger (2). A surprising advantage is achieved by controlled partial combustion of the pyrolytic gas (8) inside the radiation heat exchanger (2), the most condensable part of the pyrolytic gas (8) hereby being combusted so that the tendency to condensation of pyrolytic gas in the succeeding pipelines is reduced.

Abstract: An implantable medical device and method for adjustably restricting a selected body lumen such as a urethra or ureter of a patient to treat urinary incontinence or ureteral reflux. The device includes an adjustable, self-sealing element having a continuous wall, including an inner surface defining a chamber. The adjustable element expands or contracts due to fluid volume introduced in the chamber for restricting a body lumen. After being implanted into a patient, the size of the adjustable element is altered by first locating the adjustable element implanted adjacent the body lumen, and then establishing fluid communication with the adjustable element. The volume of the adjustable element is then adjusted by either introducing or removing volume from the chamber of the adjustable element.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for setting up a data link, wherein an end-to-end link comprises at least two separate legs (402, 403) with error correction protocols. The legs may have different physical layer connections or their error correction protocols (V. 120, RLP) may be different. An interworking function IWF according to the invention that is located between these legs (402, 403) is integrated such that the legs can communicate with each other during set-up of traffic channel in order to exchange data compression parameters. The IWF intervenes in an end-to-end data compression negotiation, performs protocol conversions on messages transmitted from one leg to another, synchronizes the legs, if required, by delaying the set-up of the faster leg and the compression negotiation, modifies the compression parameters provided by the legs, if required, and if the end-to-end data compression negotiation fails, it may set up data compression on only one leg.

Abstract: An identification system is provided for identifying a plurality of object-based transponders (14, 16, 18, 20) using an interrogator (10). The interrogator (10) includes a transmitter for transmitting an interrogation signal to the transponders, a receiver for receiving identification signals from the transponders, and processor means (21) for determining the individual and correct receipt of an identification signal. The transponders operate on the basis of backscatter modulation, and include a detector for detecting the presence of an interrupt signal from the interrogator. Control logic responsive to the detector is arranged to cease signal transmission from the transponder if the transponder completes transmission of the identification signal without receiving an interrupt signal during such transmission. The interrogator (10) is arranged to receive the identification signals from the transponders (14, 16, 18, 20) and substantially contemporaneously to determine if any identification signal has been individually and correctly received. In the event of any identification signal is being individually and correctly received, the interrogator (10), at substantially the same time, transmits a common interrupt signal for temporarily suspending signal transmission from a transponder (14) if the transponder is transmitting its identification signal at the time it receives the interrupt signal. The transponder (14) independently ceases signal transmission if it completes transmission of an identification signal without receiving an interrupt signal.
