Abstract: In a method and apparatus for determining the volumetric proportion of water in snow and the density of snow, a probe consisting of at least three parallel, but differently spaced, electrical conductors is installed in an area so that the probe is surrounded by the snow, an electromagnetic signal is applied repeatedly to pairs of the conductors for determining different dielectricity coefficients, wherefrom the actual dielectricity coefficient is calculated based on probe-specific calibration data and the measuring steps are repeated with a different frequency for which the dielectricity coefficients of the water and ice are known and the volumetric parts of the snow, that is of the water, ice and air in the snow cover is calculated using the law of mass conservation.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un moteur rotatif refroidi par une charge qui comprend un corps (204), une première plaque (206) terminale et une seconde plaque (208) terminale. Le corps et les plaques terminales sont associés de façon à former une chambre (210) fermée. Un rotor (202), placé dans le corps, comporte trois flancs (215), un moyeu (213) cylindrique et une bande (214) s'étendant transversalement depuis le moyeu et rejoignant des sections médianes des flancs par rapport au moyeu. La bande, les flancs et le moyeu forment des cavités sur les extrémités opposées du rotor. Des orifices d'admission, formés dans les plaques terminales et destinés à recevoir une charge carburant/air, aboutissent aux ports d'entrée (220, 232) opposés à la chambre fermée. Des chambres (224, 236) de distribution, formées dans les plaques terminales adjacentes aux ports d'entrée, donnent sur la chambre fermée. Les ports d'entrée communiquent directement avec les cavités du rotor, mais, séparés par les flancs du rotor, n'ont pas de communication directe avec les chambres d'admission, compression et combustion.

Abstract: A subscriber optical communications system comprises a network
terminal, a number of subscriber terminals, and an optical network
interconnecting the network terminal and the subscriber terminals. The
network terminal time-division is arranged to time-division multiplex a
number of channel signals on a bit-by-bit basis into a downlink signal and
broadcast the downlink signal to the subscriber terminals through the
optical network. Each subscriber terminal receives the broadcast signal
through the optical network, time-division demultiplexes the received
signal into component channel signals and selects a desired one of the
component channel signals using a marker inserted at the network
terminal. In the opposite direction of transmission, each subscriber
terminal transmits an uplink signal on a time-division multiplex access
mode to the network terminal. Preferably, the marker is a logical inverse
of at least one bit in a synchronization sequence contained in a
predetermined one of the transmitted channel signals, and the marker is
removed at the subscriber terminal by producing a logical inverse of the
logically inverted at least one bit to restore the original synchronization
sequence.

Abstract: In a process of producing a carboxypolysaccharide by oxidizing a polysaccharide in the presence of a ruthenium compound and an oxidizing agent, the expensive ruthenium is easily and efficiently recovered. Ruthenium dissolved in a reaction mixture after the oxidation of the polysaccharide is converted, after or without being subjected to a heat treatment, to high oxidation sate, which is then recovered by the extraction with a water-insoluble organic solvent. The recovered ruthenium is reduced to low oxidation state and reused in a subsequent production of the carboxypolysaccharide.

Abstract: Device includes one or more recursive loops for estimation of a useful signal z(n). It comprises a first subtractive step where the received radio-electrical signal comprised of a radio-electrical signal x(n) and an interference signal yb(n) are processed to yield an intermediate useful signal y(n). The latter is then treated by a non-linear process to give an estimated useful signal z(n). A second subtraction step is executed starting from the original received signal x(n) and the first estimation z(n) of the useful signal to yield an interference signal s(n). Means for calculation of a signal error e(n) from y(n) and z(n) is included. A filter stage starts from the interference signal s(n) and using the error signal e(n) estimates the signal without interference. The process is repeated recursively or continuously.
