Patent NO-20025940-D0 (NO)
Inventor: MUUTTONEN TIMO
IPC: E21B1/00
Filed: 2002-12-11
Abstract: A rock drill includes a string of components interconnected by screw threads and connected to a shank. A percussion piston is reciprocated against the shank during a drilling operation, while a support device applies axial support to the rear of the shank, to enhance the drilling action. When the components are being unscrewed, the percussion piston is actuated to strike the rear end of the drill string, after the support device has at least partially released the axial support of the shank, to enable tensile stress to be generated in the components by the percussive impacts to facilitate unscrewing of the components.

Title: Method of processing uncompressed video frames and corresponding wireless stations
Filed: 2011-12-19
Abstract: A method of processing video frames, e.g. related to wireless communication conditions, comprises: obtaining an uncompressed video frame comprising an array of pixel blocks, pixels being represented by pixel information, e.g. luma and chroma, Y, Cr and Cb, colour components; and applying at least two different operations for dropping (sub-sampling) pixel (e.g. color) information to respective pixel blocks 300-320, wherein the two different pixel information dropping operations drop different pixel information from the pixel blocks. An analogous method recovers missing pixel information from such a rate-reduced frame. Sub-sampling schemes may be 4:4:4, 4:2:2 and 4:2:0. Macro block information dropping may be based on a profile selected from a predetermined profile set (Figure 4), based on pixel block homogeneity (spatial diversity). A second set of pixel dropping (decimation) profiles may be a sub-set of a first profile set, based on previous frame homogeneity; this can be calculated using a luma component only, e.g. iteratively according to a sum of the ith most significant bit of a colour component. Also claimed is a video signal having binary pixel colour component information, at least two pixel blocks of four pixels or more having a different number of pixel information items.

Inventor: SANTACESARIA CLAUDIO
IPC: H04J3/16
Filed: 2001-03-23
Abstract: In transmission systems with point-multipoint topology, one master station and one or more terminal stations are defined and it is also defined downstream channel, the one running from the master towards the terminals and upstream channel the one from the terminals to the master. In these systems, the downstream channel is time division used by the master to send traffic to a plurality of terminal stations. <??>Moreover, in some cases, the type of modulation and error correction code, which can be jointly defined physical mode, can be different according to the addressed terminal. Messages called description map of the downstream, or downstream map, are therefore required, identifying the frame portions transmitted using a physical mode rather than another one. <??>The present invention defines a new format for said messages, which results particularly efficient in case the information units, transmitted on the downstream channel, also called PDUs, can have variable duration with a limited number of different discrete values; this situation occurs for instance in case the information field of the slot has fixed length in bytes while the transmission physical mode is different. <??>According to the invention, the downstream map includes a field identifying the type of physical layer of a frame portion and the number of PDUs contained inside the abovementioned frame portion. In this way the duration of the frame portion relevant to that particular physical layer is univocally determined, having each PDU a fixed length in bytes which is known in advance. <IMAGE>

Title: Process for preparing p-aminophenol and alkyl substituted p-aminophenol
Inventor: CASKEY DOUGLAS C
IPC: C07C213/00
Filed: 1983-01-20
Granted: 1986-04-17
Abstract: A process for preparing unsubstituted and alkyl substituted p-aminophenols. A charge mixture is prepared comprising an unsubstituted or alkyl substituted nitrobenzene, a highly dissociated acid, a catalyst containing platinum and a divalent sulfur compound in which sulfur is bonded to two other moieties, the sulfur compound being present in a proportion of from about 0.1 to about 100 moles per gram-atom of platinum. The mixture comprises an organic phase containing the substrate and an aqueous phase containing the acid. Hydrogen is introduced into the mixture at a pressure of 0-50 psig while the mixture is agitated at a temperature of 70-100 DEG C, thereby causing the substrate to be reduced to phenylhydroxylamine or an alkyl substituted phenylhydroxylamine. The hydroxylamine is absorbed into the aqueous phase and therein rearranged to the substituted or unsubstituted p-aminophenol, which is recovered from the aqueous phase.
