Abstract: Coke deposits are removed from particulates by combustion in a regenerator 4 by a process in which air is initially used as the oxidant. The combustion gas is subjected to a separation process in separator 6 to remove nitrogen therefrom, and the remaining carbon dioxide-enriched gas stream is recycled to the regenerator 4 while substantially pure oxygen is introduced into the regenerator. As the level of carbon dioxide in the system increases, the amount of air being introduced into the regenerator 4 is gradually reduced and, in compensation, the amount of oxygen flowing to the regenerator 4 is gradually increased. Eventually, part or all of the air is replaced by oxygen and carbon dioxide recycle gas, and the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide are regulated to maintain the desired temperature in the regenerator 4.

Abstract: A computer networking system is disclosed that includes a cross bar switch and a protocol for operating the same. The crossbar switch typically connects a plurality of ports one to another and the protocol establishes a connection between a first desired port and a second desired port selected from the plurality of ports. Each port further connects to a compute element via a master bidirectional bus and a slave bidirectional bus. Any of the compute elements can serve as either a master or slave to any other compute element connected to the crossbar switch. A master port connects the bidirectional bus to the crossbar switch and a slave port connects the slave bidirectional bus to the crossbar switch. The master port is reserved for compute element initiated operations while the slave port is reserved for network initiated operations. The crossbar switch receives and transmits control, address, and data information over a CPU bus to a network router unit, which is used as the interface between the CPU and the crossbar switch to translate CPU bus protocol to switch protocol. The crossbar switch uses an in band switch design, which excludes explicit control pins to control the switch and relies on control being transmitted over wires shared between the data and the address functions. The switch and protocol support load, store, broadcast, compare, and swap and barrier synchronization primitives, using no control pins and minimizing overhead.

Abstract: An A/V (audio and/or video) signal region for A/V signals and an audio signal region for only audio signals of the A/V signals are disposed on a record medium (30) of a hard disk drive (17). When the audio signals and the video signals of the A/V signals are to be independently edited, the A/V signal region is sought from the audio signal region. Each channel of the audio signals in the audio signal region is sought. Thereafter, the A/V signal region is sought. Since the number of sectors of the audio signals is smaller than that of the video signals and thereby the track width of the audio signal region is smaller than that of the A/V signal region, the seek distance in the region is small. Thus, the seek time can be decreased. When the edit point of an audio signal is the same as the edit point of a video signal or when an A/V signal is successively reproduced, only the A/V signal region is used. Thus, the A/V signal can be reproduced at very high speed.

Abstract: In base station side equipment, a control channel for transmitting control information and a communication channel for transmitting information to each mobile station are spread with different synchronizing codes before being superposed by operating a switch to switch the output of an adder over to the output of a synchronizing code generator. Further, a synchronizing code is periodically inserted in a signal by one symbol length and the signal is transmitted over the superposed channel. In a plurality of base station side equipment, moreover, the synchronizing code and its transmission period are equal and the transmission timing is asynchronous and independent. A synchronizing correlator in mobile station side equipment obtains the correlation value of the whole chip phase in a synchronizing code transmission period using the synchronizing code and decides a base station which is transmitting the synchronizing code at the greatest correlating peak position to the closest one and further extracts symbol timing from the peak position.
