Title: Aromatization of beverage powders
Inventor: RUSHMORE DEAN FREDERICK
IPC: A23L27/28
Filed: 1998-01-13
Abstract: A process for incorporating an aroma-containing substrate into a beverage powder. The beverage powder is transported in the form of a moving bed and caused to fall in an annular curtain into a filler for filling the beverage powder into containers. As the beverage powder falls in the annular curtain, the aroma-containing substrate is sprayed onto the beverage powder from a position above the moving bed. This provides a substantially homogenous distribution of the aroma-containing substrate in the beverage powder in the filler.

Title: Forward link power control in a cellular system using nt/i0 values
Inventor: PADOVANI ROBERTO
IPC: H04W56/00
Filed: 1999-02-19
Abstract: A system and method is taught for controlling the power level of transmissions within a communication system having a base station, a mobile station, a communication channel, and a pilot channel. The mobile station determines a signal strength value according to a communication signal received by way of the communication channel. A pilot channel signal is determined according to a pilot signal transmitted by way of the pilot channel. The signal to noise ratio of the communication signal is determined according to the determined signal strength value and the pilot channel signal. The power level of a transmission is controlled according to the signal to noise ratio. The noise level in a communication channel within the communication system is estimated. The pilot channel signal includes pilot energy and pilot noise components. The pilot energy component is removed to provide a remaining pilot signal. Communication system operations are controlled according to the remaining pilot signal. The power levels of transmissions are controlled by determining the signal to noise ratio of a signal within the communication channel and determining a difference signal. The difference signal is formed by determining the difference between determined and desired signal to noise ratios. The difference signal is transmitted between the base station and the mobile station. The pilot channel has at least one frame and the power control signal is inserted into the frame. Thus, information representing the strength of the communication signal is transmitted to the base by way of the pilot channel within the frame. The pilot channel can have two information frames for transmitting the power control signal a plurality of times.

Title: High activity catalyst prepared with alkoxysilanes
Inventor: NOWLIN THOMAS EDWARD
IPC: C08F4/02
Filed: 1998-07-09
Abstract: An ethylene-alpha-olefin copolymerization catalyst is prepared by impregnating a silica calcined at elevated temperature sequentially with an organomagnesium compound such as dialkylmagnesium compound, a silane compound which is free of hydroxyl groups, such as tetraethyl orthosilicate. A transition metal component such as titanium tetrachloride is then incorporated into the support. Unexpectedly, the calcination temperature of the silica used to prepare the catalyst precursors has a strong influence on polymer product properties. By increasing the calcination temperature of the silica from 600~  to 700 ~C or higher temperatures, a catalyst precursor when activated produces ethylene/1-hexene copolymers with narrower molecular weight distributions (MWD) as manifested by a decrease of resin MFR values of 3-4 units. Activation of this catalyst precursor with a trialkylaluminum compound results in a catalyst system which is effective for the production of ethylene copolymers.

Inventor: MAYHEW KENT W
IPC: B01D19/00
Filed: 2000-06-08
Abstract: The present invention is an apparatus and a methology for the removal of dissolved and/or immersed gases, from a fluid. More specically, the present invention has scientific and commercial applications for the removal of dissolved and/or immersed gases from a fluid. The present invention removes the gases by isolating the fluid in a chamber and then forcing the said chamber to expand. The process of forced expansion of the chamber allows the gas molecules dissolved in the fluid to attain enough entropy (generally, in the form of volume) to change to a gaseous state.      The present invention will extract dissolved gases from a fluid in an aparatus that has no dead volumes, thus, if proper methology is used, there will be no contamination of the extracted gases by residual gases.      The present invention relates to the apparatus described above, as applied to scientific research such as chemistry, biochemistry, physics, pharmaceutical development and other research fields.      The present invention also relates to the apparatus described above, as applied to commercial and industrial use such natural gas refining, petroleoum refining, pharmaceutical production, hydrogen gas extraction for autombiles, environmental cleanup, controlling chemical and many other processes.
