Patent EP-0739858-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ROSE WILLIAM C
IPC: C02F1/58
Filed: 1996-04-29
Abstract: This invention relates to waste water treatment, more specifically this invention relates to transportable decontamination system for water which is pumped from manholes and equipment vaults. The separation of water and contaminants is accomplished by a five module system. The first module removes 98% of the solids from the waste stream by use of staggered baffles. Module two reclamates the free oil present in the liquid flow with an coalescing water oil separator. The third module removes solids still left in the stream which are greater than 20 microns by use of a size discriminating filter. The fourth and fifth modules are banding tanks used to encapsulate hydrocarbons and heavy metals respectively. The sequence in which the contaminated flow enters each of the modules is essential to the effectiveness and efficiency of the filtration process. 
     The polishing filter for the waste water treatment system has the capabilities for removing small solids and hydrocarbons present within a liquid flow is a filtration device to be used either in conjunction with processes already in existence or as a stand-alone unit. The polishing filter can be used for marine, commercial or industrial activities. Small solids will be discriminated by size by a removable and replaceable bag filter. Residing inside the bag filter is the polishing filter bonding media, a hydrocarbon encapsulation agent used to separate and bond emulsified and dissolved oils. This bonding media is contained inside a porous membrane bag which is also removable and replaceable. The addition of this device to already existing equipment utilized by ocean vessels and commercial and industrial activities will enhance the decontamination process and assist in compliance with local, national and international clean water laws for effluent from ships and shore-based activities.

Abstract: An automatic call distribution (ACD) system has a transaction queue for storing data indicating the skills and the levels of these skills that are required to process the calls at a call center. The ACD system also has a skills inventory database for storing data indicating the skills and the skill levels of each of the agents at the call center. The skills inventory database also stores data indicating the preferences and the preference levels of the call center management to have specific agents process calls with specific skill requirement levels. The ACD system compares the skill levels required by a call with the skill levels and/or preference levels of available agents and distributes the call to the available agent that has the best skill and/or preference match. A match is best with respect to skills if the agent is not underqualified to process the call and if the agent is the least overqualified agent. A match is best with respect to preferences if the call center management most prefers that the agent handle the call. The call center management controls whether the ACD system considers skill matches, preference matches, or both.

Abstract: A flat display screen has a micro-point cathode (1) and a grid (3) with corresponding holes. The anode (5) is organised in red, green, and blue columns (7) and their supply polarity is individually controlled by switching (21) and counting (22) units. The counting unit (22) produces a potential proportional to the charge on the individual anode column and this is compared to a preset threshold value of brilliance (LUM) by an operational amplifier within the switching unit (21). When the threshold is reached the applied potential is reduced to earth preventing any further increase in brilliance.

Abstract: To provide a multi-dimensional user interface for use in audio visual production, a display system including a central processing unit (CPU)(22) is coupled through appropriate input/output (I/O) circuitry (32) to input devices, such as a keyboard (38), a digital pad (36) and/or a track ball (40) as well as a display device (50). The CPU is further coupled to a hard disk drive (30) for the storage of programs and data, and is also coupled to a network through which the CPU may communicate with a variety of system resource devices such as editors, music synthesizers (55), graphics generators, scheduling resources, audio enhancement resources, etc. A user viewing the interface on the display may utilize one of the input devices, such as by way of example, the keyboard, to select, incorporate or otherwise integrate the various system resources to develop a unified multi-media production. The user interface includes a control frame (150) which in practice substantially fills all of the display screen of the display and is consistent for all user applications. The control frame is comprised of control panels (152, 190, 170) which surround a variety of subwindows (200, 215) and acts as a consistent control area for all users of the interface. Once defined, elements may be selectively placed on an event horizon bar (220) in the control frame. The placement of an element on the event horizon results in the display of timing data for the element, relative to other elements on the event horizon.
