Abstract: In a process to minimise the deposit of limestone scale on the pipes and component parts forming a water system, a cathode electrode located within the flow of water generates an alkaline medium resulting in spontaneous generation of limestone nanocrystals. The nanocrystals act as inoculation crystals around which further limestone deposits take place. Also claimed is a suitable electrode (12) assembly connected to an electrical power source. The electrode rests on a support made of a water-porous material.

Abstract: Polymers for cement dispersing admixtures, which show different performing properties in concrete are described. All polymers are based on a composition of reactants, namely a) a poly(acrylic acid), b) a polyalkyleneglycol-monoalkylether and, optionally c) a  alpha -amino-polyalkyleneglycol- omega -alkylether and/or d) a primary or secondary amine. By keeping the composition of reactants constant and varying only the reaction time, polymers with different properties can easily be achieved. Such polymers are suitable for precast, readymix or for increasing workability over time, just depending on reaction time. Polymers of the invention can be used as single polymer or in polymer blends. For this, the kinetics of the used polymer analogous condensation reaction was intensively studied. Additionally, the benefit of amines as reactant regarding stability and hydrolysis velocity of cleavable side groups was investigated.

Abstract: The paddle grid assembly for a turbo machine with an axial flow, and especially a gas turbine, has paddles (8) at the leading upstream grid (4) in an initial coherent array or in separate sectors in a part-zone at the grid periphery, in succession at an equal axial offset ( DELTA m). The axial offset depends on the ratio of the number of paddles at the first and second grid. Where the first grid has more paddles, the effective outflow cross section (Aeff) is increased and vice versa. The paddles at the leading grid are positioned in a second part-zone at an equal or variable axial offset alignment against the offset of the first group.

Abstract: It is advantageously taken profit of the fact that before any supply of remote power to a telecommunications terminal connected to a local area network, the Ethernet equipment must recognize the power class of said terminal by measuring a specific electrical signature of said terminal via their interconnection. In the case said Ethernet equipment will stand in a situation unable to supply the required power, then it will send a specific signal via said interconnection which will activate an alarm on said terminal. The possibility to be alerted by a specific alarm from said terminal in the case no remote power can be supplied to it, will advantageously inform the user of that terminal about the powering situation. This will prevent any confusion about the reason of a wrong running of that terminal and may allow to look for an alternative. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A decoder dynamically terminates iteration calculations in the decoding of a received convolutionally coded signal using local quality index criteria. In a turbo decoder with two recursion processors connected in an iterative loop, at least one additional recursion processor is coupled in parallel at the inputs of at least one of the recursion processors. All of the recursion processors perform concurrent iterative calculations on the signal. The at least one additional recursion processor calculates a local quality index of a moving average of extrinsic information for each iteration over a portion of the signal. A controller terminates the iterations when the measure of the local quality index is less than a predetermined threshold, and requests a retransmission of the portion of the signal.

Abstract: This invention demonstrates that lower molecular weight dextran sulfate is an effective volume exclusion agent for hybridization reactions. The hybridization buffers of this invention utilize smaller polymers of dextran sulfate, and thus are of a lower viscosity than conventional hybridization buffers that use higher molecular weight dextran sulfate polymers as volume exclusion agents. The lower viscosity of these low molecular weight dextran sulfate polymer buffers makes them useful for automated hybridization processes as in dispensing, automated flow, and mixing on slide.
