Abstract: A method and apparatus for treating substances, such as contaminants
contained in waste gases discharged from incinerators and industrial
waste treating installations. The method combines catalysis and
discharge plasma treatment. The apparatus includes an insulating honeycomb structural
body (11) made of ceramic material which may contain a
photocatalytic material such as titanium oxide. Parallel flow passages
(12) are formed in the honeycomb structural body, and an electrode
system (13,14) is provided. A pulse supply source (15) is connected across
the electrodes of the electrode system. At least part of at least one of
the electrodes may be made of a metal which has catalytic activity.
The substance to be treated is passed through the flow passages of the
honeycomb structural body, while discharge plasma is uniformly
generated along the flow passages. Contaminants in the substance to be
treated are decomposed by high energy electrons and radicals generated by the discharge
plasma. The decomposition is facilitated by the catalytic activity of either the
catalytically active electrode material or the photocatalytic material in the
honeycomb structural body.

Abstract: A method for transmitting caller ID data from a
base station to a mobile unit is provided that
comprises receiving a call at a base station and
receiving caller ID data associated with the call at
the base station. The method then provides for storing
the caller ID data at the base station and
interrogating a mobile unit to determine reachability
of the mobile unit. The method then provides for
generating a mobile unit unreachable condition in
response to the mobile unit not responding to the
interrogation and the mobile unit reachable condition
in response to the mobile unit responding to the
interrogation. The method next provides for generating
a mobile unit reachable condition when the mobile unit
informs the base unit of its existence. The method
next provides for establishing an air interface
connection between the base station and the mobile unit
in response to a transition from a mobile unit
unreachable condition to a mobile unit reachable
condition. The method finally provides for
transmitting the caller ID data to the mobile unit when
the air interface connection is established.

Abstract: In a normal operation mode, a mode changeover controller (8) continuously
operates a PWM control circuit (6) so as to operate a switching element (5) at the basic
oscillation frequency. In a standby mode, the mode changeover controller (8)
intermittently operates the PWM control circuit (6) so as to turn on the switching
element (5) at a given repetition interval and for a given time period. This repetition
interval is shorter than a time for decreasing an output voltage from a rectifying and
smoothing circuit (20) down to a guaranteed load operating voltage due to power
consumption of the load (30) and the rectifying and smoothing circuit (20) in the
standby mode and is longer than a time for entering a sonic frequency band. That time
period is longer than a time for stabilizing an output from the rectifying and smoothing
circuit (20) and is also longer than a time for entering a sonic frequency band.
