Abstract: An object is to provide a wheel speed detecting device with a countermeasure against entrance of mud water. An annular recess groove is provided in an outer circumference of an end portion of a hub on a sensor side. Moreover, a cup-shaped flange portion extends from the sensor supporting member, the flange portion covering the annular recess groove while maintaining a predetermined gap T1 between the flange portion and the outer circumference of the end portion of the hub. Mud water heads toward a multi-pole magnet ring by running through the gap T1 formed between the flange portion and the outer circumference of the hub. However, entrance of mud water can be effectively prevented by making the gap T1 small. Mud water still entering the gap T1 is trapped in the annular recess groove.

Abstract: A system, method and node for modulation and coding scheme adjustment for a Long Term Evolution (LTE) shared Data Channel. The method determines an ac-tual number of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols, Nos utilized for the shared Data Chan-nel. A modulation order for transmission of data on the shared Data Channel is increased when the actual number of OFDM symbols Nos is less than 11 and decreased when Nos is more than 11. A modulation and coding scheme field (Mcs ) of a downlink control information of the shared Data Channel may also be determined. If o<= I MCS  +11- Nos <= 28, the modulation order is modified by utilizing a factor of (I MCS + 11 - Nos ) in a standardized modulation scheme.  If it is determined that I MCs + 11 - Nos < o, the modulation order is set to Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK). If it is determined that I MCS + 11 - Nos > 28, the modulation or-der is set to 64 Quadtrative Amplitude Modulation (64QAM).

Title: Demand response mullion sweat protection for a refrigerator or appliance
Inventor: BESORE JOHN K
IPC: E06B7/16
Filed: 2011-08-04
Abstract: An appliance such as a refrigerator receives a demand response signal indicating a peak demand period and operates the refrigerator in an energy savings mode by disabling an anti-sweat heater. A sensor on an external surface of the refrigerator enables the anti-sweat heater during the peak demand period if moisture is detected by the sensor. A preselected location can be defined where incipient moisture would form such as reducing the amount of insulation in this location. By forming a depression in the location and using an impedance-type sensor, moisture can be easily detected. The sensor signal is sent to the controller which then activates the anti-sweat heater to remove the moisture.

Title: Mechanical pyrolysis in a shear retort
Inventor: MCCUTCHEN WILMOT H
IPC: C10G1/04
Filed: 2011-06-21
Abstract: Mechanical visbreaking and pyrolysis between counter-rotating coaxial centrifugal impellers in a continuous radial counterflow process minimizes wastewater discharges. In an embodiment, a cataclastic shear retort comminutes, shear thins, and shear heats an axial feed, such as tar sand, oil shale, coal tailings, distillation bottoms, or lignite. Pyrolyzing the feedstock in this shear retort yields a product stream of gases, naphthas, and oils which first mixes with the feedstock and then is axially extracted, while spent solids are simultaneously extruded from the periphery as coked devolatilized residue, such as char sand for upgrading soil to terra preta. Recirculation of shear-heated solids in long residence time within the shear retort brings heat from the spent solids at the periphery to the feedstock without an external heated sand loop. CO2 emissions from combustion to heat water for oil extraction are eliminated.
