Patent EP-2100945-A1 (EP)
Inventor: ROBERTSON MARK
IPC: C01B3/52
Filed: 2009-03-12
Abstract: A process and system for removing tars from synthesis gas uses glycerol produced as a byproduct of biodiesel manufacture. The biodiesel may be made from various oil feedstocks such as canola, rapeseed, or soybean oils. Associated with the harvesting of these crops may be the ready availability of byproduct biomass useful as feedstock for gasification. In addition, methanol may be sourced from the gasification of biomass to exploit a potential synergy between biodiesel manufacture and biomass gasification. The present invention develops those synergies further by making use of a byproduct stream from the manufacture of biodiesel to remove tars from the gasifier synthesis gas and to provide a useful end use for the byproduct.

Abstract: A method of cell selection for a user equipment (UE) is provided. If a hierarchical cell structure (HCS) is used in a serving cell of the UE, a ranking procedure is performed in a first manner if the UE has low mobility, and the ranking procedure is performed if in a second manner the UE has high mobility. When the UE has low mobility, the ranking procedure is performed for all measured cells that have a highest HCS priority among those cells that fulfill a criterion S and a criterion H¥0, or the ranking procedure is performed for all measured cells regardless of HCS priorities if no cell fulfills the criterion S and the criterion H¥0. When the UE has high mobility, the ranking procedure is performed for all measured cells, and if there are cells with lower HCS priority than the serving cell that fulfills the criterion S and the criterion H¥0, the ranking procedure is performed for all cells that have the highest HCS priority. Otherwise, if there are cells that fulfill the criterion S and the criterion H¥0 with a HCS priority that is higher than or equal to the HCS priority of the serving cell, then the ranking procedure is performed for all cells that have the lowest HCS priority, else, the ranking procedure is performed for all cells regardless of HCS priorities.

Abstract: A method of navigating an autonomous coverage robot (100,212,302) between bounded areas. A navigation beacon (150,202,203,304) is positioned in a gateway (210) between adjoining first and second bounded areas (204;206). The beacon is configured to transmit a gateway marking emission (208) across the gateway. The coverage robot (100,212,302) is placed within the first bounded area and autonomously traverses the first bounded area (204) in a cleaning mode. Upon encountering the gateway marking emission in the gateway, the robot remains in the first bounded area (204), thereby avoiding migration into the second area (206). Upon termination of the cleaning mode in the first area (204), the robot autonomously initiates a migration mode to move through the gateway (210), past the beacon (150,202,203,304), into the second bounded area (206).

Inventor: NUNEZ SALAS ISABEL MARIA
IPC: G07C9/00
Filed: 2009-03-12
Abstract: The access control system for people and vehicles using UHF-RFID with reading order and hands-free functions operates in the frequency band ranging from 860MHz to 960MHz. The system consists of a UHF-RFID reader and several antennas of circular or linear polarization placed one on each side of the barrier or element that controls access (e.g. a door). Each user and/or vehicle has a UHF-RFID tag with a unique identifier associated with the identity of that user and/or vehicle. The user information may be stored either directly on the reader's internal memory or into an external database. When users and/or vehicles pass through the antennas reading field areas (these areas can be configurable), they read the ID number of the tag and send the information to the reader. The reader checks the validity of the identity by comparing the identifier with the data set stored and then validates the entry or exit. The reader can send a signal to turn on/off an electric latch to limit the access physically. Once access is authorized, if the user and/or vehicle continues on its way and pass through the second set of antennas, the system automatically determines the order of reading and hence the location (inside or outside) of the user and/or vehicle. If the user and/or vehicle does not follow its path (e.g. turn back and leave), the system does not register its arrival or departure.

Abstract: Methods are described wherein the signals from various sensors that monitor parameters such as beam position, beam intensity at each turn, number of turns, extracted current, extracted beam profile in space and energy are used to determine the effect of the variation of different parameters that control the operation of an accelerator. The diagnostic measurements and adjustments may be based upon measuring and evaluating parameters as a function of turn, and are part of an automated feedback loop for achieving the proper automated operation. The methods can be used to establish proper operating values for the accelerator parameters for optimum beam operation. By the use of feedback the operation of the accelerator can be automatically controlled in real time.
