Un ensemble (230) des données contient des segments comprenant un binaire ?0? intégré, tandis que l'autre ensemble (235) contient des segments correspondants comprenant un binaire "1" intégré. Des segments successifs sont choisis à partir des deux ensembles, afin de constituer un signal de donné composite (230) multiplexé dans le temps et présentant le contenu voulu, mais avec une séquence de données binaires intégrée identifiant l'utilisateur.
Patent CA-2335609-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ZHUIKOV BORIS L
IPC: G21G1/10

Abstract: A beam of accelerated charged particles irradiates an arsenide target, such as gallium arsenide or aluminum arsenide, to produce radioisotopes of selenium and other radionuclides. The irradiated target is placed in a niobium, tantalum, or graphite vessel (8) and inserted into a tube (1). Metallic reagents consisting of an alloy of iron, nickel, and chromium (stainless steel) or metallic aluminum are mixed with the target material. The target i s then heated to 1000-1100 ~C. The metallic reagents prevent arsenic sublimation, destroy the crystalline structure of arsenide target, and remov e other impurities, such as zinc-65. The target is then heated a second time t o about 1300 ~C causing the selenium-72 to sublime and be deposited on a coole r wall of the tube (1) or on a catcher foil surface (10). The deposited seleni um- 72 is recovered from the tube (1) or foil (10).

Abstract: A magnetoelectric machine comprising a rotor made in two disks (102/103), the teeth (105/106) of which on the outer or inner circumference make up rotor poles and an axially magnetized cylindrical magnet (104) placed between the disks. In a multi-sectional embodiment, the rotor disks (118/119) and (121/122) have a plate-like shape with poles of one disk located between the poles of another disk in one plane, and plural magnets (120/125) oriented towards one another with like poles. The stator comprises coils (107) distributed over the circumference and installed predominately in the space between the rotor poles. Because the rotor poles are located in the planes perpendicular to the device axis and the stator poles are located for end face interaction with the rotor poles, the radial size of the device is reduced.

Title: Integrated process for producing "clean beef" (or milk), ethanol, wet distillers' grains with solubles, and bio-gas/bio-fertilizer
Inventor: HALLBERG DAVID E
IPC: A23K10/38
Filed: 2002-03-12
Abstract: An ethanol unit and anaerobic digestion/bio-fertilizer unit are integrated with a cattle feedlot (or dairy operation), wherein a continuous, balanced process yields a sanitary, low- to zero-pollution, and economically efficient production of "clean beef" (or milk), fuel ethanol, and bio-gas/bio-fertilizer. Fossil fuel consumption is substantially reduced, even eliminated, and 100% of the cattle waste is treated and converted into medium-BTU gas (bio-gas), organic fertilizer and bio-compost. The ethanol unit serves the dual purpose of ethanol production, as well as grain pretreatment to produce feed for the cattle. The grain is first processed in the ethanol unit, where the starch portion is converted into ethanol and CO2. The remaining concentrated protein portion (wet distillers' grains with solubles, or WDGS) is fed directly to cattle in "high saturation" (25% or more dry matter displacement). This change results in a superior ruminant animal ration, which displaces certain traditional feed components, alters the standard starch to protein ratio, and significantly improves conversion efficiencies and meat/milk quality.
