Abstract: Système (41) utilisé pour lire une piste sélectionnée parmi les diverses pistes audio enregistrées de manière synchronisée avec une image cinématographique, sur un disque optique (23). Ce disque optique (23) comprend une piste codée de bande originale de mixage musique/effets ou une piste codée de bande originale de commutation musique/effets. Des pistes audio séparées sont prévues pour des versions spécifiques à une langue du même film cinématographique mais ces pistes ne comprennent des données enregistrées que lorsqu'il y a des dialogues. De cette manière et pour plus d'un film toutes les pistes exceptées les bandes originales comportant des données enregistrées qui comptent pour moins de la moitié de la durée de projection du film. Lorsqu'on utilise une bande originale de mixage elle est mixée avec une piste spécifique à une langue quand cette dernière comporte des dialogues, la bande originale de mixage ne contenant pas de dialogues. Si on utilise une bande originale de commutation, elle peut contenir des dialogues enregistrés avec la musique et les effets, lorsqu'une piste spécifique à une langue comprend des dialogues enregistrés sur cette dernière, elle peut aussi contenir de la musique et des effets, et la piste est lue à l'exclusion de la bande originale de commutation.

Patent CA-2191268-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KOENIGSBERG WILLIAM D
IPC: H01J61/34
Filed: 1996-11-26
Abstract: In a metal halide arc discharge lamp having a light emitting arc discharge tube surrounded by a heat absorbing, light transmissive shroud hermetically sealed within an outer lamp envelope, more nearly isothermal operation of the arc tube surface is achieved by using a shroud having a geometry (e.g., a hollow frustum of a cone) such that the shroud is closer to the cooler portions of the arc tube than to the hotter portions. At steady state lamp operation, the shroud absorbs heat emitted by the arc tube and radiates a portion of the absorbed heat back to the arc tube. By having a shroud geometry and spacing such that the inner surface of the shroud is closest to the coolest portions of the arc tube and furthest away from the hottest portions of the arc tube, the shroud radiates more heat back to the cooler portions, thereby providing more nearly isothermal operation of the surface of the arc tube than can be accomplished with a coaxial, cylindrical shroud or no shroud.

IPC: H01P1/213
Filed: 1997-04-29
Abstract: A multiplexer comprises a number of directional filters 17n connected to a transmission line feeding an antenna 2, 3. Signals to be multiplexed fed to the filters 17n may be sent via respective switches 16n. Unlike prior multiplexers where each directional filter defines a respective channel of the multiplex, the channels of the multiplexer of the invention, apart from one at the end, are defined by the band pass response of one directional filter and the band stop response of another directional filter, since the band pass responses of the directional filters from the input connected to the switch to the output connected to the transmission line, and the corresponding band stop responses between the two output ports connected to the transmission line, overlap each other. The same arrangement may be used for demultiplexing.

Title: Method for heating hydrocarbon contaminated soils and removal of volatile hydrocarbons
Inventor: IGNASIAK TERESA
IPC: B09C1/06
Filed: 1997-06-17
Abstract: An improved method for heating the aqueous slurries of soils contaminated with tarry/oily organics and volatile compounds. The method includes the steps of heating the slurry (containing inorganic and carbonaceous solids below 1/8 inch) with atmospheric pressure steam in a specially designed slurry heater(s), contacting the hot (95-99°C) slurry with the contaminated feed soil (top size 5 inch) in a hydraulic feeder, processing the resultant slurry in a tumbler at temperatures up to 90°C, separating the -1/8 inch solids from the slurry exiting the tumbler and recycling a portion of the -1/8 inch solids in slurry back to slurry heater(s). In order to reach the required temperature in the tumbler, the -1/8 inch slurry has to travel through the tumbler at mass flow rates 1.5-4.0 times higher as compared to those for the soil feed stream. Under such conditions, the find (-1/8 inch) components of the soil are processed under more rigorous conditions (steam, high temperature, residence time, agitation) compared to large (1/8-5.0 inch) mineral components of the soil. This results in further improvement of thermal efficiency of the process.
