Patent CA-2351971-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LI JUNYI
IPC: H04J11/00
Filed: 2001-06-29
Abstract: Uplink traffic channel allocation is realized by utilizing a dedicated control channel in which a prescribed portion of the control channel resource, for example, frequency, time slot or the like, is reserved for transporting the uplink traffic channel requests. Both the base station and the particular mobile unit know the prescribed portion of the control channel resource a priori. Consequently, when the particular mobile unit transmits an uplink traffic channel request via the prescribed portion of the control channel resource there is no need for adding any control header information, thereby minimizing overhead. Furthermore, the length of the uplink traffic channel requests can be optimally chosen without constraints imposed by other control message schemes. Reduced overhead coupled with the prescribed portion of the control channel resource arriving quite frequently reduces latency in the particular mobile unit acquiring an uplink traffic channel. In one example, delivery of adequate uplink traffic channel request information to the base station, while minimizing the adverse impact of losing requests, is ensured by persistently transmitting the requests. Specifically, after the mobile unit transmits a first request, it transmits a second or even a third request instead of waiting to receive a response message from the base station and/or waiting for a timer to time out. By the mobile unit using such a persistent request transmission scheme, the base station can readily determine the true value of the received request by eliminating the transmission loop delay effect, thereby allowing a sensible assignment decision to be made.

Title: Single port impeller
Inventor: WEIS FRANK G
IPC: F04D29/22
Filed: 1999-11-29
Abstract: A single port pump impeller (20) includes two pump vanes (30) diverging arcuately and radially from a suction eye (40) to form one open expanding chamber (50), and includes a blocking wall (56) for closing the remaining, opposite expanding chamber. The two vanes are contained within parallel spaced apart shrouds (24, 26). The shrouds include increased wall thickness regions to dynamically balance the impeller. The blocking wall can include a small aperture (86) for providing a small stream of liquid to flow into the otherwise closed expanding chamber to prevent cavitation at a distal end of an adjacent vane.  Alternately, the otherwise blocked expanding chamber can be filled with a solid material having substantially the same weight as the fluid being pumped, e.g., water, to prevent cavitation at the outside edge of one of the adjacent vanes.

Title: Cuttings separator for removing liquid from a slurry
Inventor: HENSLEY GARY L
IPC: B04B3/04
Filed: 2002-02-08
Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for receiving the solids discharge of a centrifuge, shaker, or other clarification system and further drying the solids discharge. The influent into the apparatus of the invention is in the form of a slurry, such as for example the solids discharge of a shaker or centrifuge in a drilling mud clarification system. The apparatus comprises a horizontal screen rotated at a high rate of speed to remove liquid from the slurry by centrifugal force. The horizontal screen is retained by a squirrel cage rotor so that high G-forces can be obtained. Within the horizontal screen is a screw conveyor which rotates at a speed slightly slower than the horizontal screen to define a controllable conveyor speed. In this way, the residence time of the solids in contact with the horizontal screen can be controlled to provide a drier solids discharge from the apparatus. The solids and liquids are provided with separate discharge ports.

Abstract: A method for eliminating detrimental substances in a process liquid. The process liquid has a first pH and, in addition to said detrimental substance s, comprises metal ions and suspended material. Carbon dioxide is added to the process liquid in order to bring the process liquid to a second pH, lower th an the first pH. Thereby, the metal ions comprise hydroxide builders, wherein t he carbon dioxide (CO2) is added in an amount which causes the second pH to be between 8 and 6.5, so that the carbon dioxide primarily forms bicarbonate io ns (HCO3-) having a pH-buffering effect and the metal ions primarily form metal  hydroxides. Thereafter, the detrimental substances coagulate or agglomerate with the metal hydroxides and are adhered to the suspended material so that they become inactive. The method is advantageously used in connection with pulp and/or paper making processes.
