Title: Method of transmitting digitized stereophonic sound signals over radio channels subject to interference
IPC: H04H1/00
Filed: 1992-10-20
Abstract: In order to transmit digitized stereophonic sound signals over channels, in particular radio channels, subject to interference, the invention proposes that transmission errors are detected at the decoder end and, if necessary, corrected or screened out. Most of the computer calculations necessary for the correction or screening out of the errors are carried out at the encoder end. The result of the computer calculations is transmitted in coded form as supplementary information to the decoder, which uses the transmitted result in the correction or screening out of errors.

Title: System and method for the application of an lms method to updating an echo canceller in an adsl modem
Inventor: TKACHOV IGOR
IPC: H04B3/23
Filed: 2001-01-25
Abstract: An echo cancellation device relies on the known characteristics of the sync frame to monitor, update in an off-line fashion and determine the accuracy of an echo canceller in, for example, a modem, such as an ADSL modem. Specifically, time domain samples are read from the transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) paths of the modem. These samples are stored in memory. When the sync frame has received a predetermined number of the same Tx samples and Rx samples, the samples are stored. Running averages, over the sync frames, of the TX and Rx samples are maintained. These averages are subtracted from a sync frame of samples, to allow LMS updating of the echo canceller taps, free of extraneous signals. Updating, i.e., tracking of changes in the echo channel, is done for the echo canceller in an off-line fashion. The coefficients for the in-line version are updated, while the off-line version is updated over several sync frames. Periodically, the performance of the off-line version is compared with the in-line version. The coefficients of the in-line version are replaced by those of the off-line version only if it is determined the off-line version, which is tracking echo channel changes, has better performance. After replacement of the in-line coefficients, the off-line tracking is continued in the off-line version.

Title: Effluent treatment process
Inventor: GRANT ROY ARTHUR
IPC: C02F11/04
Filed: 1993-02-01
Abstract: A process for treating effluent such as untreated biological effluent includes a primary clarifier (1) where sludge solids are settled out from a liquid sludge fraction. The sludge solids pass to a digester (2) where the sludge solids undergo anaerobic digestion to produce digested sludge and biogas. The digested sludge is dewatered and the liquid sludge fraction and the liquid component of the dewatered digested sludge is passed to an activated sludge tank (6). The resulting activated sludge solids are then concentrated by settlement, dewatered, and flocculated under alkaline and acidic conditions. The resultant acidic activated sludge solids are neutralized before and passed to a mixing and drying apparatus (5) where the solids are mixed with the digested sludge and dried using the bio-gas as a fuel. <IMAGE>

Title: Use of immobilized film reactor
Inventor: BISHOP DOLLOFF F
IPC: C02F3/30
Filed: 1993-03-24
Abstract: Biofilters (3) for treating contaminated air (5) use immobilized biofilms on filter support media to biodegrade sorbed volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and biotransform inorganic oxides to sulfur (SOx) and nitrogen (NOx) to residuals such as carbon dioxide, water and various acids (HCL, H2SO4, HNO3).

Patent AU-5022885-A (AU)
Title: Closed loop fibre optic gyroscope
Inventor: PAVLATH GEORGE A
IPC: H01S3/083
Filed: 1985-11-21
Abstract: @ A gyroscope system includes a coherent light source that supplies counterpropagating waves to a sensing loop through a pair of directional couplers. The polarizations of the waves are controlled so that they traverse identical paths before recombining in one of the couplers to form an interference pattern. Rotation of the sensing loop, a phase modulator and a frequency shifter cause phase changes in the counter propagating waves. A detector monitors the interference pattern of the combined waves and provides a signal to the coherent demodulator that controls the phase modulator. The output of the coherent demodulator is input to a servo loop circuit that drives a voltage controlled oscillator. The output of the voltage controlled oscillator is an oscillatory signal having a frequency equal to the shift in frequency that the counter propagating waves experience in traversing the frequency shifter. The feedback circuitry adjusts the frequency shift to null the phase difference between the counterpropagating waves. The frequency shift is linearly related to the frequency of the signal output from the voltage controlled oscillator. Each cycle of the output of the voltage controlled oscillator corresponds to a fixed angular increment of displacement of the sensing loop. The rotation rate of the sensing loop is a function of the frequency shift and transit time of the waves through the sensing loop. The gyroscope system determines rotation rates and angular displacements over a wide dynamic range by measuring the frequency and zero crossings of the oscillatory output of the voltage controlled oscillator.
