Abstract: Disclosed are a method and apparatus for making substantially
spherical, homogenous petroleum resid pellets having a size range between
0.1 and 10 mm, a penetration of essentially 0, a softening point temperature
from about 200° to about 400°F, a residual water content of from 0.1 to 10
weight percent, and a sulfur content less than 10 weight percent. The
process includes feeding the material in a molten state to a rotating prilling
head to discharge the material into free space at an upper end of a pelletizing
vessel having a diameter larger than a throw-away diameter of the discharged
material, allowing the discharged material to break apart, form into
substantially spherical liquid pellets, and fall downwardly into a liquid spray
and/or bath to solidify the pellets. The apparatus has an upright pelletizing
vessel with an upper prilling zone, a sphere-forming zone below the prilling
zone, a cooling zone below the sphere-forming zone, a bath below the cooling
zone, and a prilling head in the prilling zone rotatable along a vertical axis and
having a plurality of discharge orifices for throwing molten material radially
outwardly. A vertical height of the sphere-forming zone is sufficient to allow
material discharged from the prilling head to form substantially spherical liquid
pellets. Nozzles are provided for spraying water inwardly into the cooling
zone to cool and at least partially solidify the liquid pellets to be collected in
the bath. Also disclosed is pretreatment of a soft resid (softening point
temperature below 200°F) by air oxidation to produce a hard resid suitable for
feed to the prilling head.

Abstract: In a decoding system having a cache memory, for decoding a
variable length code such as a MH code, the decoding is carried out by
accessing the cache memory by using a variable length code as an address.
Whether the cache memory is hit or mishit is judged by discriminating
whether or not the code bits of the 7 bits succeeding to the firstly
appeared "1" in the actual code is coincident with the tag stored in the
cache memory. This comparison is carried out by masking bits other
than an effective bit length of the actual code, by utilizing the three-bit
information indicating the number of remaining bits in the actual code,
succeeding to the firstly appeared "1", outputted from the cache memory.
Thus, the decoding system is capable of elevating the hit rate of the cache
memory.

Abstract: A method of wavelength allocation that allows creating a fully meshed
network at the optical layer when the nodes are connected at the physical
layer in a ring. The method uses a minimum number of wavelengths and a
same wavelength set on each fiber, with the constraint that a wavelength is
used at most once on any resource. A hop table is prepared with all nodes
and all wavelengths and the origin of the table is defined by a first node and a
first wavelength. For rings with more than seven nodes, an initial hop vector
is defined, which is different for rings with an odd and an even number of
nodes. All hops for all nodes and all wavelengths are then generated using
the initial hop vector, and recorded in the hop table. After the hop table is
completed, the nodes are equipped with wavelength-specific receivers and
transmitters according to a source-destination table prepared from the hop
table. Hop tables are also provided for rings with less than seven nodes.

Abstract: A Debit Card and Prepaid card Servicing (DPCS) function
manages debit card/prepaid card services. The DPCS function
is implemented in Signal Switching Points (SSPs) and a
Service Control Points (SCP) in the telephone network. A
subscriber initiates a debit card/prepaid card transaction
via a switch by dialing a telephone number corresponding to
the service provider. The switch routes a message to the
SCP and provides pertinent debit card/prepaid card
information to the SCP. Based upon a remaining value of the
debit card/prepaid card, the SCP generates a timeout timer
value. The SCP then sends a message to the switch
authorizing the switch to route the call, the message
including the timeout timer value. If the switch
successfully completes the call, it sets a timer
corresponding to the timeout timer value. If the timer
expires, the switch sends a message to the SCP, which
includes the call duration. The SCP deducts the value of
the call (based upon the call duration) from the debit
card/prepaid card and then may direct the switch to
disconnect or continue the call (with additional payment).
When the call is disconnected prior to timer expiration, the
switch reports the duration of the call to the SCP and the
SCP deducts the value of the call from the debit
card/prepaid card.

video signal may also or alternatively detected and encoded to be included in the
enhanced video data stream. The enhanced video data stream can be stored in memory
for retrieval at a later time. Once retrieved, the various types of data within the enhanced
video data stream are separated out and provided to decoding blocks to produce the video

in kurtosis of each reference pattern vector is numerically evaluated to
obtain a shape change amount Dj 1 j 2  (S3). Then, a value of a geometric
