Abstract: This invention relates to a process for producing an optically active aldehyde (first aldehyde) containing a reduced amount of the corresponding enantiomeric aldehyde (second aldehyde) which process comprises: (1) providing an initial solution containing a non-eutectic mixture of the first aldehyde and the second aldehyde, which mixture has a composition in the compositional region where only the first aldehyde crystallizes when its solubility limit in the solution is exceeded, and (2) maintaining the solution at a temperature above the eutectic temperature of the mixture and under conditions such that the solubility limit of the first aldehyde is exceeded so as to form a crystalline first aldehyde containing relatively less of the second aldehyde than was present in the initial solution.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a base station, and a method for improving connection quality in a cellular radio system, which system comprises in each cell at least one base station (BS), which communicates with the subscriber terminal equipments (MS) located within its area, and which sends out transmissions by using at least one carrier frequency, and in which system the signal transmitted at each frequency is divided on the time division principle into a frame consisting of several time slots, and which base stations transmit information on themselves to the subscriber terminal equipments. To improve the quality of the connection between the base station and a subscriber terminal equipment, the antenna via which the signal intended for the terminal equipments of the base station is transmitted is changed on the time division principle in such a manner that the base station sends out transmissions via one antenna at a time for a certain predetermined period, after which the antenna to be used is changed.

Abstract: Input signals are converted into frequency components, the frequency components are separated into first signals composed of tonal components and second signals composed of other components. The first and second signals are respectively encoded and code string to be transmitted or recorded is generated. For example, only the first signals are encoded, and an information substring generated for, e.g., every quantization accuracy information which has a common value and a parameter related to the encoding of the first signals is included in the code string, by using at least either, for example, the number of spectrum components constituting the tonal components which is the parameter related to the separation or, for example, quantization accuracy information which is the parameter related to the encoding of the first signals as reference parameter. Thus, the inputted signals can be encoded more efficiently than conventional. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a method for purification of flue gases from a combustion installation the flue gases are first sucked from the installation and through a liquid, and are then pressed through a liquid, whereby the purified flue gases are fed out into the surroundings. During the transfer the flue gases are split up into as small units as possible in order to provide the best possible contact with the fluid. The method is carried out by means of a flue gas purifier (5) comprising a container (6), which contains a fluid, preferably water, and which is partitioned into chambers (18 - 24). One set of chambers (18 - 21) forms a suction compartment (A) and another set of chambers (22 - 24) forms a pressure compartment (B). Walls (12, 14, 16) forming partitions between the chambers force the flue gases to alternately pass through the fluid and above the fluid. A pump (26) sucks the flue gases through the suction compartment (A) and presses these through the pressure compartment (B). The walls (12, 14, 16) are at least partly provided with slits, through which the flue gases are made to pass thereby being subdivided into a plurality of flows, and the outlet (28) of the pump (26) ends in a spray nozzle immersed in the fluid. The first chamber (18) in the suction compartment (A) in the flow direction of the flue gases is provided with an inlet (25) for the flue gases from the installation, and the last chamber in the pressure compartment (B) is provided with an outlet (29) for purified flue gases. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention pertains, in a preferred embodiment, to a stretchable, extensible, fluid-pervious composite web comprising an apertured, three-dimensional, macroscopically-expanded formed film layer and a fibrous layer, preferably a nonwoven, bonded to one side of the formed film layer. The composite web is microcreped in at least one direction, such that the composite web exhibits extensibility, and preferably also retractability, in that direction. The composite web exhibits fine scale nesting of the formed film layer and the nonwoven layer in the microfolds, providing intimate contact between the layers for enhanced fluid transport properties while the three-dimensionality of the formed film provides a stand-off between the layers. The composite webs of the present invention are particularly suited for use as a topsheet on an absorbent article, in order to provide for enhanced stretchability and extensibility to accommodate a wide range of in-use conditions and to enable the absorbent article to better conform to the wearer's body to improve wearing comfort via enhanced flexibility. The microcreped surface also provides a soft, pleasing visual and tactile impression to the wearer. The present invention further relates to a method of making a stretchable, extensible, fluid-pervious composite web comprising the steps of: (a) providing an apertured, three-dimensional, macroscopically-expanded formed film layer; (b) providing a fibrous layer; (c) bonding the fibrous layer to one side of the formed film layer to form a composite web; (d) microcreping the composite web in at least one direction such that the composite web is contracted that direction and such that the formed film layer remains substantially three-dimensional and macroscopically-expanded.

Abstract: A switch status sensor is provided for counting on/off events of a switch of a water meter. When an on/off event is detected by a microcontroller, the microcontroller supplies a "signature" signal, which is distinguishable from electromagnetic noise, to the switch. If this "signature" signal is detected as having passed through the switch by the microcontroller, then it can be confirmed that the switch is closed. Alternatively, if the "signature" signal is not detected as having passed through the switch by the microcontroller, then it is verified that the switch is open. Thus, the switch status sensor can distinguish between false switch events caused by electromagnetic noise and true on/off events of the switch.
