Abstract: Squelch circuit and method useful in frequency-scanned radio receivers are provided. Generally, the squelch circuit includes an audio-removal filter coupled to receive an audio signal. The passband of the audio-removal filter is selected sufficiently high relative to frequency components of the audio signal. An absolute value detector is coupled to the audio-removal filter to supply an output signal having a positive polarity regardless of the polarity of the signal supplied by the audio- removal filter. An integrating filter is coupled to receive the output signal from the absolute value detector and supply an integrated signal. The integrating filter has at least one selectable filter coefficient indicative of the response time of the integrating filter. A control module is configured to select a first value for the selectable filter coefficient so that during a first mode of operation of the squelch circuit the response time of the integrating filter is sufficiently fast to determine the power level of the integrated signal over a predefined time interval relative to respective squelch thresholds. The control module is further configured to select a second value for the selectable filter coefficient so that during a second mode of operation subsequent to the first mode of operation the response time of the integrating filter is sufficiently slow to smooth out power level variations, if any, due to fading of the audio signal.

Patent CA-2426770-A1 (CA)
Inventor: O'REAR DENNIS J
IPC: C07B63/00
Filed: 2001-10-16
Abstract: Methods for removing mercaptans from hydrocarbons streams, for example crude oil and natural gas, are provided. The methods use basic metal salts which react with mercaptans to form mercaptides. The metal salts are dissolved or suspended in ionic liquids, which tend to have virtually no vapor pressure.  After the mercaptides are adsorbed into the ionic liquid, the demarcaptanized hydrocarbon stream can be removed, for example by distillation, decantation or gravity separation. Then the mercaptides can be oxidized, for example, by exposure to air, to form disulfides. The disulfides are insoluble in the ionic liquids, and can be readily removed. Sodium hydroxide is a preferred salt. Non-water reactive ionic liquids are preferred. The mercanptan-containing hydrocarbon stream can be in the gas phase or in the liquid phase. The flow of hydrocarbon stream over/through the ionic liquid can be for example, co-current, counter-current, or staged in stirred tanks, with countercurrent being preferred.

Title: Process for the continuous measurement, detection and regulation of support pressure and a device for carrying out the process
Inventor: TREUER FRIEDRICH
IPC: A61L2/24
Filed: 2003-07-11
Abstract: The invention provides a process for the continuous measurement, detection and regulation of support pressure in the sterilization of pharmaceutical products, preferably in receptacles with displaceable closure mechanisms. During sterilization, the pressure in the interior of the receptacle, closed off by the closure mechanisms is determined either directly by means of a pressure sensor communicating with the interior of the receptacle or by a sensor detecting the pressure differential between the inside and the outside of the receptacle from the displacement of the closure mechanism. From this measurement signal is formed a control value by means of which the support pressure acting externally on the receptacle is regulated in such a way that the internal pressure and the support pressure are equal or substantially equal.
