Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for measuring the total organic carbon (TOC) and nitrogen (TN) content of water. The TOC value is correctly determined as the sum of the liquid, dissolved and solid substances in a sample of water. The apparatus comprises an NDIR gas analyser for simultaneously measuring the concentration of the gas components CO2 and NO with a phase separator T, a thermal reactor OX, a condenser K and two amplifiers A1 and A2 for the pneumatic signals of the receivers E1 and E2 having an indicator for the measured concentrations TOC and TN. In the phase separator T, the sample is split up into a gaseous and a liquid part. The gaseous part, which essentially contains the inorganic carbon component, the TIC component, in the form of CO2 gas, is cooled in a condenser to such an extent that a substantial component of its water-vapour content precipitates in the condenser as a result of condensation. The dried gaseous part is fed as a reference gas through the reference cells. This measure serves to compensate for the TIC component of the sample and to compensate for the unavoidable water-vapour cross-sensitivity in the measurement of the CO2 and the NO concentration. The gaseous part emerging from the reference cells is again added to the liquid part of the sample in full and is oxidised along with the latter in a thermal reactor. The gas sample produced in this process is loaded with water vapour at the same temperature as the reference gas V using the condenser K and is fed to the measuring chambers of the cells as test gas M, the test gas M containing the total carbon dioxide component and the total nitrogen oxide component of the gas sample. <IMAGE>

Title: Reserve ISFET
Inventor: HOWITZ STEFFEN DR
IPC: G01N27/414
Filed: 1994-05-09
Abstract: The invention relates to a reserve ISFET, especially for use in fluidic ISFET measurement systems. In particular, the present invention relates to means of passivation and activation of the ISFET function, which make it possible to switch on individual ISFETs from an array, serially as required in the measurement cycle, and thereby to give the measurement system a lifetime which matches the problem. According to the invention, a reserve ISFET has, in addition to the chemically sensitive gate film (membrane) (5), a sacrificial layer (6) which covers the gate, stops direct contact of the chemically sensitive film with the measurement medium and thereby prevents the degradation process of the ISFET. The sacrificial layer consists, for example, of metal (Al, Cr, Ni, Au) or of a photosensitive polymer. The ISFET function is activated by deliberate removal of the sacrificial layer using electrochemical or optochemical dissolving. An array of this kind of reserve ISFETs allows a continuous fluidic measurement system to be given a freely selectable lifetime. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A DS/CDMA receiver includes first and second diversity branches each including an antenna, a receiver and a despreading filter. The output signals of the transversal despreading filters of both diversity branches are diversity-combined, and threshold decision is made on the combined signal to produce a decision output. A decision error is detected from the combined signal and the decision output. Interchannel interference is canceled in each despreading filter by controlling their tap weights so that the tap weight coefficient vectors of each filter are orthogonal to all the spread codes of signals from other sources and multipath fading related intersymbol interference is canceled when the decision error of the diversity-combined signal is reduced to a minimum.

Abstract: An encoding method and apparatus uses energy characteristic of discrete cosine transform (DCT) domains for determination of a quantization level. The DCT domain is divided into four sub-domains. The energy characteristic of each macroblock is represented as one among the four domains such as simple, complicated, edge and plain domains. A buffer (31) generates a first quantization level which is varied according to the buffer fullness in units of a slice. The energy characteristic information and the first quantization level of the buffer are used for determination of a second quantization level supplied to quantizers (12, 22). The quantizers (12, 22) quantize the transformation coefficient data according to the second quantization level generated in units of the macroblock. Thus, the viewer can see less quantization error. The encoding apparatus generates a second quantization level just by an addition operation of the varied value of the first quantization level which is determined by the energy characteristic information to the first quantization level, thereby providing a quantization level generator capable of being implemented with simple hardware an example of which is disclosed.

Abstract: Presently most MPEG video decoders use 16 Mbit of external memory. This memory capacity is almost completely occupied by the video decoding process in case of 625 line/50 Hz systems, and the communication speed to the external memory is rather high. If in future decoders, additional functions will be added to the video decoder, a need for free memory space and communication bandwidth will come up soon. In order to release some memory capacity, a modification in the video decoding process is proposed by which 1 up to 3 Mbit of memory capacity can be saved, without big impact on the memory communication bandwidth. In order to keep the speed requirements in the variable length decoding within practical limits, a 2 step video decoding approach is proposed. On basis of this approach, several alternatives are possible, each with a different trade-off between extra processing requirements and memory saving.
