Title: Stabilising thermally beneficiated carbonaceous material
Inventor: CONOCHIE DAVID STEWART
IPC: F28F27/00
Filed: 1998-06-23
Granted: 2009-01-06
Abstract: A method of stabilising a thermally beneficiated carbonaceous material is disclosed. The method includes the steps of supplying a charge of the carbonaceous material at an elevated temperature to a process vessel to form a packed bed and cooling the carbonaceous material to a target temperature by indirect heat exchange. The method is characterised by supplying an oxygen-containing gas to the packed bed to partially oxidise the carbonaceous material to a required degree to stabilise the carbonaceous material prior to the carbonaceous material reaching the target temperature. The method is also characterised b y removing heat from the packed bed that is produced by oxidation of carbonaceous material to control the temperature of the carbonaceous material during oxidation to avoid thermal runaway.

Abstract: A non-orthogonal noise detecting device for a CDMA communication system. In the device, a despreader despreads multiple channel signals including a specific channel with an orthogonal code assigned to the specific channel repeating at least two same second symbols at a given first symbol duration, to generate despread repeated symbols. A difference signal generator receives the despread second symbols, and generates a difference signal between a presently received second symbol and a previously received second symbol. A noise detector converts the difference signal to an energy value to generate a non-orthogonal noise signal.
