Patent CA-2386418-A1 (CA)
Inventor: OLASZ ELIZABETH
IPC: H04L7/04
Filed: 2000-09-14
Abstract: A method and telecommunication system for tracking the carrier phase of a received signal (2, 4) includes the addition of a pilot signal (7) to the da ta component of the signal prior to modulation and transmission (100). The pilo t signal (230) is to have a frequency equal to the inverse of twice a data symbol interval with zero crossings positioned at the midpoint of each symbo l interval to avoid interference with the data. The received signal (230) is demodulated to produce a complex data signal from which the pilot signal is detected to provide an estimate of the phase error in the complex data signa l (230). The elimination of the phase error from the complex data signal is accomplished through a corrective phase shift (240) that is equal and opposi te to the estimated phase error.
Patent CA-2386445-A1 (CA)
Title: Fluid treatment apparatus
Inventor: BUCHANAN JOHN CHRISTOPHER SUTH
IPC: C02F1/00
Filed: 2002-05-15
Abstract: Disclosed is an environmentally friendly fluid treatment assembly comprising:  a back-flushable filter, a fluid conditioning device and a control valve. During normal operation, fluid is directed by the control valve to pass through the conditioning device wherein the precipitation of solids dissolved within the fluid takes place.  The fluid is then directed to flow through a filter medium within the back-flushable filter where precipitates and other solids are removed from the flow. The fluid then exits the assembly via the control valve. During back-flushing, the direction of fluid flow through the assembly is reversed and the filter medium is fluidised while precipitates and other solids are flushed out of the filter through the control valve. The assembly finds particular but not exclusive application to the treatment of water.  Water treatment devices comprising an embodiment of the present invention lead to the precipitation of carbonates from hard water and removes those precipitates from the water flow.  This enhances the ability of the assembly to produce treated water which is capable of absorbing previously formed scale deposits within a water system while preventing any significant accumulation of additional scale. Since the conditioning device does not make use of ion exchange resins, back-flushing does not require the use of a brine solution.

Title: A coalescer apparatus in an oil/water separator
Inventor: AYMONG GREGORY G
IPC: B01D17/00
Filed: 2002-06-05
Abstract: A coalescer apparatus is used in oil-water separator tanks. The coalescer includes a frame that supports coalescing plates that are inclined upwardly from the bottom of the frame member. The coalescing plates run parallel with each other and are spaced equally apart. The coalescing plates have a bottom surface that is corrugated and a top surface that is flat without corrugations. Water containing oil and solids is passed through the coalescing apparatus and separation of the oil and solids from the water occurs. The solids fall to the top flat surface of the inclined coalescing plates. The inclined flat surface cause the solids to slide down the plate and out of the coalescer.
