IPC: H04L12/16
Filed: 2003-04-25
Abstract: A method and system for improving the reliability of search results from a search engine by linking third parties having information relevant to a searcher's query directly to that searcher. The search engines maintain a database of searchers and their contact information and a registered searcher inputs a query to that search engine that matches keywords or other parameters linked to a particular third party or third parties, that third party or third parties can choose to respond directly to the searcher with information relevant to the searcher's query. The third party may thereby disseminate useful information which it desires that searcher to have and which is relevant to the searcher's query and the searcher obtains information directly relevant to his or her query.

Title: Composting in a pressurized aeration vessel
Inventor: RUDAS TOMASZ
IPC: C05F17/00
Filed: 2001-10-26
Abstract: A method and an apparatus is provided for aeration of organic material, wherein the organic material undergoes an aerobic composting process, such that air is caused to evenly penetrate the organic material. The organic material is first sealed in a vessel. Air is then delivered to the contents of the vessel such that an air pressure of from about 1 to about 1000 kPa above atmospheric pressure is maintained in the vessel. A pressure differential initially forms and is then allowed to equilibrate over a period of time, in which time air flows from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure in the organic material thus ensuring that aeration is evenly distributed throughout the organic material.

Inventor: SARKAR SANDIP
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2001-11-20
Abstract: In a communication system wherein packetized data is transmitted to remote stations in a channel sensitive manner, a preamble must be transmitted with each discrete data transmission to the remote station. Method and apparatus are presented herein for generating an optimized preamble structure for use with transmissions of packetized data. An optimized preamble structure is one that is easily detectable and decodable, yet occupies a small fractional overhead of the entire transmission to the remote station. Information that needs to be carried bz a preamble are used to create a basic structural unit, which is then redundantly permuted.

Title: Waste water treatment process and apparatus
Inventor: ZHAO JOE RU HE
IPC: C02F1/52
Filed: 2004-02-18
Abstract: The present invention relates to a process and apparatus for waste water treatment in which encapsulation flocculation and accelerated biological reaction in aeration by micro entrapment are introduced. The process and apparatus consists of an oil separator (optional), an anoxic tank, a sludge pulser, an aeration reactor with accelerated biological reaction by micro entrapment (biological micro-entrapment reactor, BMR), an encapsulation flocculation and poly-complexed bridging reactor (EFPR), a sludge separator (filter, settling tank or the like) and an UV disinfector (optional). A part of separated sludge (encapsulated sludge) from the sludge separator is returned to the BMR with the addition of micro entrapment additives (ME accelerators) to change fluid properties and parameters and increase collision frequency and "contact time" between sludge biomass and contaminant particles in waste water, which improves BOD load in aeration section up to 8 ~ 15 kg/m3 per day. Another part of sludge is returned to mix with coagulant being used and added to the EFPR, and the remaining sludge is led to the anoxic tank. The treated water after UV disinfector (optional) or after BMR is partially returned and mixed with influent in the cases of higher BOD and high COD waste water being treated. In the EFPR, the encapsulating chemicals (or encapsulant) with coagulant are added to induce encapsulation flocculation to entrap the contaminant particles in waste water. The present invention can be used to treat domestic waste water and high concentration of organic wastewater from some industries. And a part of the present invention including EFPR with encapsulation flocculation and sludge separator can treat lower BOD/COD ratio of waste water from industries.
