Title: System, coding section, arrangement, coding apparatus, and method
Inventor: WILLEMS FRANCISCUS MARIA JOANN
IPC: H03M7/42
Filed: 1997-07-08
Granted: 2000-03-09
Abstract: Known systems use two probability signals for coding an input signal into an output signal and for decoding said output signal into the input signal. In a first memory field two probability signals are stored, and in a second memory field two other probability signals are stored, and in response to a further received symbol processor means adapt the probability signals. Such a system needs a giant memory capacity, which can be reduced by combining probability signals into a first combination signal to be stored in the first memory field and by combining further probability signals into a second combination signal to be stored in the second memory field, and by converting a third combination signal into at least one probability signal just before (de)coding takes place. <IMAGE>

Granted: 1995-10-12
Abstract: In a continuous surface treating method and apparatus with an inline centrifugal separator, an object (W) to be treated is contained in a basket (20) and hung from a hanger (15) of an overhead type and a series of surface treatments of the object (W) is carried out by using a continuous conveyer (10) of a power and free type. By using a hanger attach-detach conveyer (13), the object (W) is moved from a main conveyer (11) to a subveyer (12) and an excessive treating liquid attached to the object (W) in a previous process is separated by using a centrifugal separator (30). Then, the object (W) is returned from the sub-conveyer (12) to the main conveyer (11) to perform the next process. The surface treating apparatus includes the rotatable basket (20) for containing the object (W). When the surface treatment of the object (W) such as a heat exchanger or the like is continuously executed in the conveyer line, a bringing of the excessive treating liquid attached to the object (W) in the previous process into the next process can be prevented and the concentration of the treating liquid in a bath can be maintained at a constant value. As a result, the obtained film thickness becomes uniform and the quality of the object (W) can be improved. <IMAGE>

Title: Oxygen producing bandage
Inventor: BURK MELVYN I
IPC: A61F13/00
Filed: 1996-04-10
Granted: 2000-02-17
Abstract: A portable, self-contained device is described for the topical application of oxygen to promote the healing of skin wounds. The device is comprised of a wound dressing that incorporates an electrochemical, chemical, or thermal means of generating high purity oxygen. The device can regulate the supply of oxygen to an area above the wound at various concentrations, pressures and dosages. The device is driven by a built in or accessory power source. Ambient air is brought into contact with a gas permeable cathode. Oxygen present in the air is reduced at the cathode to negative ions (i.e. peroxide, superoxide or hydroxyl ions) and/or their unprotonated and protonated neutral species. One or more of these species diffuse through an electrolyte and are then oxidized at a gas permeable anode to produce a high concentration of oxygen directly above the wound. Oxygen can also be depleted from that same area by reversing the polarity of the power source allowing the supply of oxygen to the wound to be modulated, thereby controlling the rate of healing.
