Title: Apparatus and method for withdrawing and dewatering slag from a gasification system
Inventor: KAMARTHI RAJASEKAR
IPC: B65G33/26
Filed: 2000-08-31
Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for withdrawing and  dewatering slag from a gasification system. In particular, the present invention relates to a conveying lockhopper and method of using the conveyin g lockhopper to collect slag and other waste byproducts from the gasifier of a  gasification system. The conveying lockhopper is configured to receive slag from a gasifier, simultaneously extract and dewater the slag, and expel the processed slag directly into an awaiting container suitable for carrying the  processed slag away. The conveying lockhopper generally comprises a housing with inlet and outlet valves to receive and expel slag, respectively. The housing is inclined at an angle typically between 5 and 60 degrees to the horizontal so that the outlet is at a higher elevation than the inlet. Insid e the housing, an auger or similar conveying mechanism conveys the slag from t he inlet towards the outlet while simultaneously dewatering the slag. As a result, the processed slag that is discharged at the outlet is fully process ed and ready to be transported away.

Title: Support of multiuser detection in the downlink
Inventor: ZEIRA ARIELA
IPC: H04W72/04
Filed: 2001-02-02
Abstract: A wireless time division duplex communication system using code division multiple access has a base station and user equipments. The system communicates using communication bursts. Each communication burst has a unique channelization code and a midamble code. Each midamble code is mapped to a set of at least one channelization code. For each communication burst to be transmitted in a time slot from the base station, the midamble code mapped to that burst's channelization code is determined.  Communication bursts are generated and transmitted in the time slot. Each burst has the determined midamble code for its channelization code. The user equipment receives the bursts and determines each received midamble code. The user equipment determines the channelization codes of the transmitted communication bursts based on in part a result of the determining of each received midamble code.
