Abstract: The method comprises a step which consists in determining a signal (IIS) representing inferences between the symbols (S1, S2, S3, S4) called intersymbol inferences, a step which consists in determining times of minimum interference level (MIN) which correspond to markers of the beginning of symbols and of the symbol duration (TS), of the reception of the received signal (SR).  The method is for synchronization upon reception of a received signal (SR) obtained by adding a number of transmission signals (ST1, ST2), all corresponding to the same source signal (SE) comprising data blocks called symbols (S1, S2, S3, S4) of predetermined duration (TS).

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing a substantially stable dispersion without manufacturing aids, where the dispersion comprises at least one hydrophobic plant sterol and an aqueous material, wherein the plant sterol is selected from plant sterols and plant stanols. The process comprises mixing the plant sterol with the aqueous material to form a first dispersion, homogenizing the first dispersion to obtain a second dispersion of particles wherein the particle size of the hydrophobic plant sterol particles in the first dispersion and the second dispersion is from about 0.1 micron to about 100 microns. Optionally, the process may comprise heating the first dispersion prior to homogenizing, heating the second dispersion after homogenizing, or heating both. In one embodiment, the aqueous material comprises a beverage concentrate, which includes a juice concentrate, such as a citrus juice concentrate, e.g., an orange juice concentrate. In one aspect of this invention, in order to substantially avoid a powdery taste in the dispersion, the particle size of the plant sterol particles is from about 0.1 micron to about 30 microns and the majority of hydrophobic plant sterol particles within this range will be from about 0.2 microns to about 10 microns and will substantially follow a bell curve distribution.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for the detection of trace volatiles such as those produced by fungal decay of timber, comprising a sampling probe ( 10 ), comprising a housing ( 11 ) and bored barrel ( 12 ) adapted removably to receive an SPME device ( 14 ) in which a coated tipped fiber ( 15 ) is guided within a needle sheath ( 16 ) into the barrel ( 12 ), and a pump ( 19 ) is energized to draw a fluid sample over the fiber tip within the bore of the barrel. A motor ( 23 ) advances and retracts the SPME device ( 14 ) and its fiber ( 15 ) for a sample to be captured thereby and the captured sample is then released within an instrument having an array of gas sensors whereby any trace volatiles captured by and released from the coated fiber ( 15 ) may then be analyzed by computer software to produce a fingerprint for the location and identification of the presence of trace volatiles at a site into which the sampling probe is introduced. Thus, there is provided a robust device for the protective and easy introduction of an SPME fiber into a sampling environment where such devices conventionally could not be used.
