Title: Device for carrying out a method for cleaning waste-water
Inventor: INGERLE KURT
IPC: C02F3/12
Filed: 1998-02-11
Abstract: The invention relates to a device for carrying out a method for cleaning waste-water by means of activated sludge. According to said method, the waste-water to be treated is fed first into an activated-sludge tank (1), which can be ventilated, and then into a sedimentation tank (2) in which the sludge and clarified water are separated. After this, the sludge is fed back into the activated-sludge tank (1) and the clarified water withdrawn. In the sedimentation tank, operating cycles take place several times a day during which the sludge is recombined with the clarified water (stirring phase R). The activated-sludge tank (1) and the sedimentation tank (2) are connected to interconnected receptacles by means of openings (3, 4) provided for in the floor area of the sedimentation tank (2) and near the water level. In addition, the invention provides for devices for simultaneously transporting the tank contents from the activated-sludge tank (1) through the opening(s) (3) in the floor area and from the sedimentation tank (2) through the opening(s) (4) near the water level.

Title: Rapid carburizing process in a continuous furnace
Inventor: QUEILLE PHILIPPE
IPC: C23C8/22
Filed: 1986-07-16
Abstract: Process in which there are injected a carrier gas and a hydrocarbon capable of producing, at conventional carburizing temperatures, an atmosphere of predetermined composition having a nominal concentration of carbon monoxide, a door of the furnace being opened with a given periodicity to permit the passage of a charge to be carburized, the opening of this door resulting in particular in an increase in the concentration of the oxidizing species in the atmosphere of the furnace. According to the invention, the concentration of carbon monoxide of the atmosphere injected into the furnace is increased with the same periodicity so as to compensate for the increase in the concentration of the oxidizing species of the furnace and thus maintain the carbon potential of the carburizing atmosphere of the furnace substantially constant throughout the duration of the carburization of the workpieces of the charge.

Title: Centrifugal liquid pump with internal gas injection
Inventor: DUFOUR RENEAU
IPC: F04D13/16
Filed: 1998-03-12
Abstract: The centrifugal liquid pump is of the rotary discs types and has an integrated gas injector of very single yet efficient structure. This pump has a casing defining an inner, substantially cylindrical chamber with an axial liquid inlet and a tangential liquid outlet. A rotary impeller is rotatably mounted within the chamber. This impeller has first and second spaced apart discs which are rigidly interconnected at such a distance away from each other as to extend close to the opposite walls of the chamber. The first disc that extends close to the wall into which the liquid inlet opens has a central opening of the same diameter as the liquid inlet to allow the liquid injected through the inlet to enter within the chamber in between the discs. The second disc has a plurality of spaced apart openings located at a constant radius, which is inferior to the radius of the discs. A coaxial power shaft is connected to the impeller so as to rotate it in a given direction. This shaft extends out of the chamber in a direction opposite to the liquid inlet. A gas feed pipe is in open communication with the chamber. This gas feed pipe is connected to a hole made in the casing. This hole is located in the second opposite wall of the chamber at a radial distance substantially equal to the above mentioned constant radius. In use, the pressurized gas fed through the hole made in second opposite wall of the casing passes through the openings made in the second disc and enters into the chamber. The gas is then disolved in the liquid while the same moves between the discs toward the outlet of the pump.

Title: Group call in a cellular radio system
Inventor: YARWOOD ANTHONY CHARLES
IPC: H04W4/90
Filed: 1994-05-23
Abstract: In a cellular radio system the facility is provided for a call to be broadcast from a control centre (Mx), (for example an emergency service controller), or from any of the mobile units (Ma), (Mb), (Mc) etc., to all of the others. Each cell allocates a single channel to the broadcast service, irrespective of the number of mobile units in the cell. This allows more efficient use of the available channels than the use of a separate channel for each mobile unit. In one embodiment no channel is allocated to a cell unless at least one mobile unit responds to a paging signal in that cell. Paging may continue throughout a broadcast call to allow a channel to be allocated when a mobile unit enters a previously unoccupied cell or to allow release of a channel should all mobiles leave a previously occupied cell. The broadcast facility can be provided on a cellular network which also supports other mobile units which do not receive the broadcast service, and whose operation is not affected by it.

Title: Method and means for a robust feature extraction for speech recognition
Inventor: BRUCKNER RAYMOND
IPC: G10L21/0208
Filed: 2000-09-30
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for a robust feature extraction for speech recognition in a noisy environment, wherein the speech signal is segmented and is characterized by spectral components. The speech signal is splitted into a number of short term spectral components in L subbands, with L = 1,2,...and a noise spectrum from segments that only contain noise is estimated. Then a spectral subtraction of the estimated noise spectrum from the corresponding short term spectrum is performed and a probability for each short term spectrum component to contain noise is calculated. Finally these spectral component of each short-term spectrum, having a low probability to contain speech are interpolated in order to smooth those short-term spectra that only contain noise. With the interpolation the spectral components containing noise are interpolated by reliable spectral speech components that could be found in the neighborhood. <IMAGE>
