Patent CA-2511234-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WESTON MARTIN
IPC: H04N9/78
Filed: 2003-12-22
Abstract: A method of composite decoding in which the input signal is converted into t he frequency domain, and the symmetry of frequency components with respect to t he subcarrier frequency is compared. The comparison is varied in dependence upo n the frequency being processed. In this way, the separation can be adapted to suit known characteristics of different portions on the input spectrum. This is particularly useful for processing NTSC signals. The allocation of a particular component to chrominance may be biased in dependence upon a measu re of the luminance information of the composite signal at a corresponding spatial frequency.

Inventor: THOMASON ERIC A
IPC: C09K11/78
Filed: 2006-01-04
Abstract: A method is provided for making narrow-band, UVB-emitting, (Y,Gd,Ce,Pr)Mg borate phosphors. The method involves the use of a mixed oxide co-precipitate which is combined with MgO and boric acid and fired twice to form the borate phosphor.  The mixed oxide co-precipitate is formed by dissolving sources of Y, Gd, Ce, and optionally Pr, in an acid solution. Oxalic acid or ammonia is added to the solution (or vice versa) to form a coprecipitate of oxalates or hydroxides that are further fired to obtain a mixed oxide coprecipitate. The use of the mixed oxide co-precipitate improves homogeneity and yields a phosphor having a higher brightness with very little or no sticking between the fired cakes and the firing crucibles.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for hydroprocessing Fischer-Tropsch products. The invention in particular relates to an integrated method for producing liquid fuels from a hydrocarbon stream provided by Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. The method involves separating the Fischer-Tropsch products into a light fraction (FT condensate) and a heavy fraction. The heavy fraction is subjected to hydrocracking conditions, preferably through multiple catalyst beds, to reduce the chain length. The products of the hydrocracking reaction following the last catalyst bed are subjected to a separation step. The lighter material is combined with the Fischer-Tropsch condensate and hydrotreated. The hydrotreatment conditions hydrogenate double bonds, reduce oxygenates to paraffins, and desulfurize and denitrify the products. The heavier material from the separation step is sent to the lube plant for hydroisomerization, or is subjected to subsequent fraction steps to produce fuels and middle distillates.
