Abstract: Gas generation single-column fractionated distillation of air operates at lower pressure, reducing energy requirement withou sacrifice of process yield. A single-column process and assembly produces gases by the cryogenic fractionated distillation of air. The compressed incom air feed (101, 102, 103, 110) is first cooled (104) and fed (105, 114) to the column (107). An oxygen-rich liquid fraction (116) drawn from the column (107) and expanded (117) and fed to a condenser-evaporator (118). The oxygen is evaporated (118) by an indirect exchange of heat from condensed nitrogen (120) drawn from the upper section of the column (107). A portion (131) of the vapor (129, 130) generated by the condenser-evaporator (118) is compressed and fed (134, 135) to the column (118). A portion (10 110, 11) of the air feed (101) is released into the column (107) upstream of the inlet (114), where it decompresses to release energy.

Abstract: The production of thin films of titanium dioxide in the
anatase crystallographic structure performing with high
photocatalytic activity is made possible on transparent
inorganic substrates. The film is produced through deposition
(roll, spray, dip coating) of a stable liquid precursor
containing an inorganic or metal-organic compound of
titanium(IV) partially or totally hydrolyzed in the presence
of acid, surfactants and, eventually, s-triazine derivatives.
The last improve the photocatalytic activity of the film and
its resistance to bases. The gelation of the precursor is
blocked by the presence of acid and/or a suitable surfactant.
The absence of gelification avoids the need of further repeptization
of the gel, as usually required in the common
sol-gel methods. The liquid precursor is stable in air, and
storable for some months without alteration. Thin films
produced in this way show optimal transparency in the visible
and induce strong abatement of pollutants under illumination,
either in the aqueous or gas phase. Applications range from
water purification, waste abatement, air cleaning and
deodorization, indoor disinfecting, and self-cleaning
transparent glass, goods, fabric, and other architectural or
functional elements.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for generating an identification to be used for a connection in a network. The identification is generated by adding a reuse information (reuse field or bit) to an allocated identifier to thereby increase the time period until the same identification is generated again. The reuse information is updated and used for generating the new identification when the allocated identifier is reallocated to a new connection. Since the time period until the same identification is reused is increased, the risk of misrouting any data packets relating to a destroyed connection can be significantly reduced.

Abstract: A method for simultaneously reading a serial number and/or other information from multiple colliding RF signals from RF identification tags (1-5) requires minimal additional logic in the tag's processor and provides for a powerful and rapid sorting and identification scheme. This technique employs a primary communication channel and multiple secondary channels, A locator or reader unit (6) interrogates the tags (1-5), which respond with an RF signal. Upon receiving multiple signals, the locator or reader unit (6) commands the RFID tags (1-5) and requires them to transmit another response, which is transmitted in one of the secondary channels based on a portion of their unique serial identification number, thereby forcing the tags (1-5) to sort in the secondary channels. These secondary channels are assigned using a portion of the unique serial identification numbers for the tags. The reader (6) then detects an acknowledgment in the occupied secondary channels and commands a tag (1-5) in a particular channel to move to the primary channel. Once the signal is transmitted in the primary channel, the reader (6) reads the identification number. If there is further collision, the collided tags are returned to the secondary channel and sorted again using a different portion of their ID number. This process continues until all the tags (1-5) are sorted and identified. Once the tags (1-5) are all sorted, the tags (1-5) are assigned yet another channel distinct from the secondary channels that are used for sorting.

Abstract: A rotary module for implementing a high frequency pressure swing adsorption process includes a stator having a number of function compartments opening into the stator valve faces, a rotor rotatably coupled to the stator and including a number of apertures opening into the rotor valve faces, and a self-regulating clearance-type valve seal positioned between the valve faces of the stator and rotor so as to regulate the rate of gas flow between the stator and the rotor. Each valve seal includes a sealing face disposed adjacent a respective one of the rotor valve faces and is pivotable relative to the respective rotor valve face for varying the gas flow rate in accordance with the clearance distance between the sealing face and the respective rotor valve face. Each valve seal also includes a passage which communicates with one of the function compartments for varying the clearance distance in response to a pressure differential between the passage and an approaching aperture. In this way, the valve seal maintains a smooth pressure transition profile as the flow paths are switched between the function compartments. As a result, equilibrium is maintained between the adsorbent material and the mass transfer front of the gas, and the efficiency of the gas separation process is enhanced.
