Patent CA-2428677-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ANATOLIY FISENKO
IPC: C02F7/00
Filed: 2003-05-15
Abstract: A method of induced froth (foam) formation and natural purification from pollutants or contaminants for water treatment, wastewater treatment, clean-up of polluted sites of streams directly on site, clean-up of contaminated sites and any other reasons is proposed. The method utilizes the proper selected food for degrading and decomposing activities by groups of fungi, bacteria and other microorganisms which are the most resistant to the kinds of contaminants or pollutants from which water, wastewater and polluted or contaminated sites are treated or cleaned-up. While the decomposition takes place, the entire water and/or benthic soil are enriched with biological surfactants and the generated dissolved biogases and micro-bubbles of biogases. Further, the water, wastewater and polluted or contaminated sites also contain the dissolved air and all kinds of polluting particles, including man-made surfactants. By creating the proper external and/or internal conditions for forming biogases and/or air micro-bubbles and bubbles-particles aggregates in the presence of biological and/or man-made surfactants, the latter rise to the water surface and concentrate in froth and a surrounding thin top layer of surface water. The froth and surrounding thin top layer of surface water collect the contaminants or pollutants, including organic and inorganic particles with pathogens from the entire water and/or benthic soil. The froth and surrounding think top layer of surface water are concentrated and localized in the proper designed places by any devices or equipments for further skimming off for disposal and/or redirecting to artificially created places for natural treatment directly on site and/or delivering to municipal or natural treatment facilities.

Abstract: Carbon steels of high performance are disclosed that contain dislocated lath structures in which laths of martensite alternate with thin films of austenite, but in which each grain of the dislocated lath structure is limited to a single microstructure variant by orienting all austenite thin films in the same direction. This is achieved by careful control of the grain size to less than ten microns. Further improvement in the performance of the steel is achieved by processing the steel in such a way that the formation of bainite, pearlite, and interphase precipitation is avoided.

Abstract: Data to be impressed upon the average value of a chrominance portion of a block, is replicated at least once. The original and each replica is impressed on blocks in the same block position of separate frames. The frames that have like- positioned blocks that are carrying the same data are considered to be a group. Specific blocks of the frame may be embedded with a particular known data sequence rather than user data. Each group may employ a different known sequence. Instead of simply repeating the data for each like-positioned block of a group, the amount added to the average value for each such block may be changed slightly from frame to frame in group, even when the complexity of the blocks is the same. At a receiver, the multiple instances of the same data bit are extracted and combined to form a single received bit.
