Inventor: GETCHELL WAYNE RAYMOND
IPC: H04B3/06
Filed: 2000-05-12
Abstract: A method and apparatus for transmit power control in a subscriber loop for high frequency data services are described. Transmit signal power levels are maintained at minimum levels for achieving acceptable communications between a transmitter and a receiver.      Transmit signal power levels are adjusted dynamically on a link-by-link basis by employing command controllable transmit power attenuators at the transmitters. The transmit power attenuators are controlled by transmit signal power controllers which issue commands to the transmit power attenuators. Excess transmit power is avoided and parasitic signal coupling between communication links is reduced. The advantages are cross-talk reduction, longer loop length and higher data rates.

IPC: C12S5/00
Filed: 2000-06-27
Abstract: A hybrid filter system for degrading a sulfur-containing compound having a primary stage sacrificial filter and a secondary stage biofilter is disclosed. This hybrid filter system significantly increases the lifetime of the biofilter providing a cost effective and removal effective biofiltration filter system. The process consists of two filtration stages, a primary stage sacrificial filtration and a secondary stage biofiltration. A small percentage of the sulfur-containing compound is oxidized to elemental sulfur which blocks the pore space of the filter matrix. The primary stage sacrificial filter is used to trap and remove elemental sulfur which is produced when the sulfur-containing compound is passed through the filter. To protect the secondary stage biofilter from premature plugging by precipitated elemental sulfur the primary stage sacrificial filter is used to capture the precipitated elemental sulfur.  It is then sacrificed on a regular basis to minimize the impact of the elemental sulfur on the secondary stage biofilter.

Title: Non-contaminating pressure transducer module
Inventor: ENGLUND DIANE L
IPC: G01L9/00
Filed: 1998-10-14
Abstract: A non-contaminating pressure transducer module having an isolation member is disclosed. The isolation member isolates a pressure sensor (88) within the transducer module from exposure to ultra high purity fluids flowing through a conduit in the module without significantly affecting the accuracy of the pressure measurement. The transducer module may be positioned with a fluid flow circuit carrying corrosive materials, wherein the pressure transducer module produces a control signal proportional to either a gauge pressure or an absolute pressure of the fluid flow circuit. The pressure transducer module of the present invention also avoids the introduction of particulate, unwanted ions, or vapors into the flow circuit.

This ensures that the outlet openings (6) through which, for example, fibrin adhesive can be administered into the puncture channel, do not enter an artery. In the insertion position the covering plate (39) simultaneously covers the sealing tube (5) through which the sealing material is injected.
