Abstract: The present invention relates to catalysts and methods for producing hydrocarbons,
including liquid synthetic fuels, olefins, solid hydrocarbons, as well as oxygen-containing
derivatives thereof (for example, alcohols) from a mixture of CO and hydrogen (syngas). 
     The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an effective catalyst
and a process for the catalytic production of hydrocarbons and their oxygen-containing
derivatives from synthesis gas with a high productivity per volume unit of a
reactor. 
     The process is carried out by passing carbon monoxide and hydrogen through one
or more stationary particles (bodies) of a concentrated permeable catalyst containing at
least 0.4 g/cm 3  of an assembly of phases comprising a phase of a catalytically active
metal, fixed on a phase of a support of oxidic nature, producing an appreciable influence
on the dispersity of the active metal phase or on other physicochemical properties thereof,
wherein the catalyst body has a permeability of at least 5·10 -15  m 2 . One of Group VIII metals
or an intermetallic containing them is used as the catalytically active metal, wherein the
content of the catalytically active metal phase in the assembly of the phases is at least 5
wt.%.

Abstract: Contaminants are efficiently purified without affecting the environment or
necessitating the performance of any post-treatments such as pH adjustment that
would be used to prevent environmental impact, even when the contaminated soil
is highly viscous. 
     In the method of purifying contaminated soil by microorganisms
according to the present invention, contaminated soil mainly comprising clay or
silt and containing trichloroethylene as a contaminant is dug out, and then
temporarily placed on the ground (step 101). Next, perlite 2, which is an
inorganic soil-improving material, the soil-improving material, and degradation
microbes 3 degrading trichloroethylene are added to the contaminated soil 1 (step
102). The contaminated soil is subsequently mixed by agitation, so as to cause
the perlite 2 to absorb pore water contained in the clay or silt (step 103). Next,
aeration is performed to inject air into the contaminated soil 1, thereby
microbially degrading trichloroethylene (step 104).

Abstract: In a medical MRI apparatus, it is often desirable to have electronic devices 62, 64 for communicating with or monitoring the patient 58 in the imaging volume 29 of the apparatus. Such electronic devices should not interfere with the MRI electromagnetic fields because of the high sensitivity of such apparatus to field disturbances. According to the invention, a shielding housing for such devices is proposed, which is formed from customary printed circuit board (PCB). Such shielding does not influence the MRI fields if the shielding layer 98 is made of a material having a resistivity below 0.05 Omegam, a thickness below 40 mum and the overall surface area of the shielding layer is less than 100 cm<SUP>2</SUP>.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method
and a system for reconfiguring a mobile
telecommunications network. In the
method network elements to be reconfigured
are arranged into groups according
to a grouping parameter. A priority
value is assigned to the groups. The
network elements are reconfigured by
groups in an order indicated by the assigned
priority value. For example cells
in the mobile telecommunications network
are reconfigured in an order indicated
by the priority value so that the entire
network is not updated concurrently.
Typically the priority values are assigned
so that adjacent cells do not
share the same priority value thus existing
connections can be handed over to
adjacent cells so that the services do
not have any breaks.

Abstract: The detection of electromechanical oscillations in power systems and the estimation of
their parameters (frequency  f  and damping ξ) is based on a linear time-varying model.
The parameters of the linear model are on-line adapted by means of Kalman filtering
techniques to approximate the measured signal y (representing the behaviour of the power
system) optimally in the sense of a quadratic criterion. The estimated model parameters are
then the basis for the calculation of parameters of the oscillations. Adaptive algorithms are
based on a recursive calculation of the estimated parameter vector for each time-step based
on the new value of the measured signal and the old values of the estimated parameters. As
opposed to the collection of data over a time window and then performing the parameter
identification at once, any change in the system can thus be detected much faster.
