Abstract: The present invention is directed to a substantially odorless biological treatment process for solid and liquid organic wastes for converting organic waste into a beneficial humus material comprising; collecting organic waste; combining said organic waste with an aquous or water containing flowable stream thereby creating a combined waste stream; treating said combined waste stream in an aqueous environment containing 1013 or more biological microorganisms with an average doubling time of less time than 30 days to promote the growth of microbial populations thereby subjecting the organic waste to biological conversion and treatment; monitoring the amount of dissolved oxygen in said aqueous environment; maintaining less than 2.0mg/1 of dissolved oxygen in said aqueous environment via an aeration means to promote the growth of microorganisms using facultative pathways; and separating solids from the aqueous environment for the recovery of an organic humus material. The present invention also provides for a novel nutrient rich humus material produced from the biological treatment process. The bioconversion process of the present invention results from low oxygen concentrations and high quantities of microorganisms in a diverse microbial community.

Abstract: Apparatus for stuffing pitted olives with an edible filling features a drum and drum holder, plus drive means for rotating the drum holder and drum about a selected rotational axis. Pitted olives are placed in a drum along with a quantity of filling, then the drum is rotated, agitating the olives and filling in tumbling fashion, and causing the filling to work its way into the cavities in the olives. The invention facilitates stuffing of large quantities of olives at one time, rather than individually, without manual contact with the olives or the filling materials. Effective stuffing may be accomplished with a variety of filling materials. The efficacy of the stuffing process may be enhanced by imparting reciprocating motion to the drum in addition to rotational movement, and by providing protuberances on the interior surface of the drum.

Abstract: At the transmitter side, carrier waves are modulated according to an input signal for producing relevant signal points in a signal space diagram. The input signal is divided into, two, first and second, data streams. The signal points are divided into signal point groups to which data of the first data stream are assigned. Also, data of the second data stream are assigned to the signal points of each signal point group. A difference in the transmission error rate between first and second data streams is developed, by shifting the signal points to other positions in the space diagram expressed at least in the polar coordinate system. At the receiver side, the first and/or second data streams can be reconstructed from a received signal. In TV broadcast service, a TV signal is divided by a transmitter into, low and high, frequency band components which are designated as a first and a second data streams respectively. Upon receiving the TV signal, a receiver can reproduce only the low frequency band component or both the low and high frequency band components, depending on its capability. Furthermore, a communication system based on an OFDM system is utilized for data transmission of a plurality of subchannels, wherein the subchannels are differentiated by changing the length, of a guard time slot or a carrier wave interval of a symbol transmission time slot, or changing the transmission electric power of the carrier.

Title: Systems and methods for low-temperature gas separation
Inventor: ALFEROV VADIM IVANOVICH
IPC: F25J3/02
Filed: 2005-09-23
Granted: 2014-08-19
Abstract: One of the drawbacks common to many currently available low-temperature gas mixture separation techniques is that known systems and methods that embody the techniques are inefficient. In contrast to known systems and methods for low-temperature gas mixture separation, some embodiments of the present invention provide a system for low-temperature gas mixture separation that recycles energy and reduces power consumption by re-circulating heated and/or cooled flows (e.g. gas, liquid and mixed-phase flows) within the system. Accordingly, in some embodiments efficiency is somewhat improved, as compared to comparable systems that do not include the re-circulation of heat energy. In some embodiments the heat energy that is re-circulated is a combination of heat added to the system (i.e. inputs to the system) and heat released within the system (i.e. byproducts from within the system) that are subsequently recovered. In particular, some systems and methods provided in accordance with embodiments of the invention are suited for separating the constituent components of natural gas and other hydrocarbon gas mixtures.
