Title: Method, device, and system for realizing polarization mode dispersion compensation
Inventor: LI JUHAO
IPC: H04B10/2569
Filed: 2009-06-03
Abstract: A method, device, system for realizing polarization mode dispersion (PMD) compensation are provided. The method for realizing PMD compensation includes: de-multiplexing a polarization-multiplexed optical signal, to obtain a first polarization light and a second polarization light; and joint-equalizing the first polarization light and the second polarization light, to obtain a first equalization signal and a second equalization signal. Since the polarization-multiplexed optical signal is de-multiplexed and then joint-equalized, not only the intra-channel symbol interference but also the inter-channel symbol interference during transmission of the polarization-multiplexed optical signal is eliminated, so as to realize the PMD compensation.

Title: Apparatus and methods for adjusting operational parameters to recover hydrocarbonaceous and additional products from oil shale and sands
Inventor: LOCKHART MICHAEL D
IPC: F25J1/00
Filed: 2010-04-09
Abstract: Apparatus and methods are disclosed for recovering hydrocarbonaceous and additional products from nonrubilized oil shale and oil/tar sands. One or more initial condensation steps are performed to recover crude-oil products from the effluent gas, followed by one or more subsequent condensation steps to recover additional, non-crude-oil products. The effluent gas is maintained under a negative pressure from the hole and through the initial and subsequent condensation steps. This provides nu-merous advantages, including the adjustment of various physical parameters during the extraction process. Such adjustment allows the ratio of oils types to be varied, the ratio of hydrocarbonaceous products to non-crude products to be varied, contamination control, and other disclosed advantages.
