Abstract: The invention relates to a ceramic recuperative high-temperature heat exchanger (1), wherein all components coming into contact with primary (P) and/or secondary (S) media are made of high-temperature resistant material. The high-temperature material consists of a mixture of SiC and MoSi2. The self-defining flow channels (4) and flow areas (5) of the heat exchanger are formed by plates (6), comprising a congruent matrix configuration of truncated recesses (7) with an open bottom. The plates (6) are stacked on top of each other in such a way that the tubular lower end of the covering surface of the recesses (7) of the upper plate (6) rests on the spherical covering surface of the recesses of the plates (6) disposed thereunder, in such a way that the flow channels (4) are formed by the substantially self-aligned recesses (7). The flow area (5) which is formed between the plates (6) is lower in height than the recesses (7). It is penetrated by the covering surfaces of the recesses (7) in the form of columns. The flow areas (5) have inflows and outflows only.

Abstract: A Global Positioning System (GPS) based personal athletic performance monitor for providing an athlete with real-time athletic performance feedback data such as elapsed exercise time, distance covered, average pace, elevation difference, distance to go and/or advice for reaching pre-set targets. The monitor is integrated with an AM/FM/TV personal radio, and the athletic performance feedback is provided through a set of audio headphones using an audio module. The monitor can be connected to an external personal computer via a serial or infrared port for further data storage and long term trend analysis, or to a remote computer via modem, where historical performance data is collected and logically compiled from participating athletes worldwide. Results are then transferred to an Internet web site which displays comparison data representing the relative performances of two or more athletes, provides customized individual training advice and virtual competitions, and an opportunity for advertisers to reach highly well defined potential customers. Geographically and demographically targeted advertising messages are also downloaded to the performance monitor while connected to the remote computer.

Abstract: A system for transmitting digital programming includes a program source providing digital information, circuitry for modulating the digital information onto a visual carrier modulated with analog television programming, and a visual transmitter coupled to the modulating circuitry. Using a phase modulation method, the system phase modulates the digital information onto a visual carrier, reduces the baseband frequencies of the phase modulated visual carrier, and amplitude modulates the phase-modulated video carrier onto a video signal. The amplified and encoded video signal are combined with an amplified sound signal and transmitted. Using an additive method, the system modulates the sidebands of the video carrier with the digital information and amplitude modulates the video signal onto the video carrier. The data-modulated sidebands are phase-shifted such that they will be in quadrature with the amplitude-modulated video signal. The system combines the amplitude-modulated video carrier and the data-modulated quadrature sidebands. With a blended multiplicative/additive method, the system provides phase modulation and quadrature sideband addition to provide an optimized result.

Abstract: A hip-joint socket having an outer shell (1) with a central axis (7) that is to be anchored in the hip bone. The outer shell is detachably mounted, in a geometrically locking manner, on a plastic intermediate shell (1a) exhibiting a hollow-spherical inner side (2). The hip-joint socket also has a wear-resistant inner shell (3) with a spherical outer side (4) and a central axis (8) that is designed to receive a joint ball of a femur shaft. The outer side (4) of the inner shell (3) can be undetachably mounted in a geometrically locking manner to rest against the inner side (2) of the intermediate shell (1a) such that the two central axes (7, 8) coincide. Mutually engaging elements are present at the inner shell and intermediate shell (3 resp. 1a) that consist, on one hand, of a prismatic salient (5) configured at the vertex (9) of the inner shell (10) on the outer side (4) and, on the other hand, of a prismatic recess (6) configured at the vertex (10) of the intermediate shell (1a) on the inner side (2). The salient and recess reliably preclude the mutually contacting inner and intermediate shells (3 resp. 1a) from rotating about their central axes (7, 8) and from canting relative to each other. The salient (5) and the recess (6) are configured in substantially congruent and symmetrical manner relative to the central axes. The hip-joint socket offers minimal design height subjected to optimally distributed resting forces.

Abstract: A patient-specific optimally effective radiation dose for administration of a radiopharmaceutical to a patient for treatment of a disease may be established by basing the calculation of the appropriate therapeutic dose on factors such as the desired total body dose, the maximum tolerated dose, the typical clearance profile of the radiopharmaceutical, the patient's mass or maximum effective mass, and the patient-specific residence time of the radiopharmaceutical or an analog in the whole body of the patient. The use of the method allows for treatment of a patient with an appropriate dose which is maximally effective against the disease yet minimally toxic. The determination of a patient-specific therapeutic dose may be assisted by the use of a software program set to the particular parameters of the radiopharmaceutical. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Techniques for ascertaining the geographic position of users and terminals in a wireless communications system are used, for example, by operations personnel in performing system maintenance and by emergency personnel in locating lost or injured individuals. According to an exemplary method of requesting and obtaining user position information, user terminals in a wireless communications system routinely transmit position information to mobile switching centers in the system, and the mobile switching centers maintain up-to-date terminal position information in visiting location registers. Requests for user position information are routed to a home location register which in turn routes terminal position requests to mobile switching centers with which the target users are registered. Terminal position information is retrieved from the appropriate visiting location registers and sent back to the requesting parties with a minimum of system traffic.

Abstract: A product of reduced sulfur content is produced from a feedstock which is comprised of a mixture of hydrocarbons and includes sulfur-containing aromatic compounds as unwanted impurities. The process involves separating the feedstock by fractional distillation into a lower boiling fraction which contains the more volatile sulfur-containing aromatic impurities and at least one higher boiling fraction which contains the less volatile sulfur-containing aromatic impurities. Each fraction is then separately subjected to reaction conditions which are effective to convert at least a portion of its content of sulfur-containing aromatic impurities to higher boiling sulfur-containing products by alkylation with an alkylating agent in the presence of an acidic catalyst. The higher boiling sulfur-containing products are removed by fractional distillation.
