Title: Purification of noble gases using online regeneration of getter beds
Inventor: WEIST ANNEMARIE OTT
IPC: B01D53/86
Filed: 2008-10-16
Abstract: Processes for the recovery and purification of noble gas stream contaminated with small amounts of hydrogen and/or other getter combustibles. One process involves dividing the noble gas stream gas into a first and second noble gas streams.  The first noble gas stream is sent to a second metal getter containing a bed comprised of a metal getter in an oxidized state wherein the hydrogen is combusted. Oxygen is added to the second noble gas stream and the stream is passed through a catalytic unit wherein the hydrogen is combusted and then through a first metal getter bed operating in parallel with a second bed wherein the metal getter is converted to its oxide form.  When breakthrough is detected in either bed, the flows of the first and second noble gas streams are rerouted to the other beds, respectively.

Title: Multicarrier system with stored application profiles for supporting multiple applications
Inventor: TZANNES MARCOS C
IPC: H04L12/801
Filed: 2000-09-15
Abstract: A system and method for supporting multiple applications are described. A digital subscriber line system includes two transceivers in communication over a communication channel using multicarrier modulation. Application profiles are defined for characterizing transmission of information over the communication channel. Each application profile is a parameter set that is associated with a unique set of one or more applications that may become active between the transceivers and specifies the transmission requirements for such applications. Each transceiver stores the application profiles and transmits information over the communication channel according to the one of the stored application profiles. When a change in a number of applications active between the transceivers occurs, a second one of the application profiles is retrieved. The transceivers then transition to transmitting information over the communication channel according to the second application profile. The transitioning can occur without interrupting communication between the transceivers in order to retrain the transceivers.

Patent CA-2651584-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HATZILAKOS CONSTANTINOS A
IPC: F03B13/18
Filed: 2007-04-26
Abstract: The waves of the sea move a float vertically upwards and downwards. These motions are transferred and converted to rotational along a horizontal shaft. The float (1/1) of a spherical or cylindrical shape made with plastic or metal material, empty filled with ballast, floats half emerged and as is moved by the forces of the waves, transfers these vertical motions to a vertical metal beam (1/2) which can be increased or decreased in order to deal with the tidal changes of the sea level. The vertical beam is attached with knuckle joins, at the one end with the float and at the other with the horizontal beam of a rectangular metal triangle which transfers the vertical motions at the horizontally moving forwards and backwards saw (1/5) with the two chains (1/6) and (3/20) which rotate two pairs of gears each gear of a pair to the diametrically opposite side, so that with every movement one gear produces action while the other gear of the pair moves freely. The gears rotate the horizontal shaft which is fitted on them (3/8) and the shaft gives motion to the generator. Thus, every movement of the float, whether upwards or downwards, small or big, rotates the shaft and energizes the generator. This device, from the float to generator forms a unit. Many units, placed in parallel side by side one next to the other, act each one on its own generator or two to three units act together on a common shaft which activates one common more powerful generator. The floats are restricted inside metal cages or inside recesses build in piers so that they will not be carried away by the waves while they are not impede either their vertical motion or the free passage of the seawater. Thus, the device acts as a multi-cylinder petrol engine where the cages in the recesses act as the cylinders and the floats as the pistons with the only difference that this converter uses the endlessly renewable sea water instead of the inflammable, expensive and polluting fossil fuels.
