Patent EP-1236686-A1 (EP)
Inventor: MIKLOS DANIEL R
IPC: C02F3/00
Filed: 2002-02-19
Abstract: Waste-treatment processes are enhanced through generation and introduction of specific
biological populations customized to perform or favor specific tasks either during the main
process, or for solids minimization purposes in a post-treatment process. These bacteria may be
grown from specialized mixes of activated sludge and waste influent by exposing these materials
to controlled environments (e.g., in an off-line treatment area). They may then be added back to
the main process to perform certain tasks such as converting particulate cBOD (carbonaceous oxygen demand) into soluble
cBOD for utilization,or to improve nitrification/denitrification efficiency.

Abstract: A technique for improving optical cross-connections comprises placing a switch (40)
in front of a number of processing units (50). So configured, the units are no longer dedicated
to a specific link or signal. When necessary, a unit is connected/disconnected to one or
more optical links by the switch to carry out any number of processing functions, such as
regeneration, Raman pumping, dispersion equalization/compensation or performance
monitoring. Because the units are no longer dedicated to specific links the cost of the
cross-connections and the network it is a part of can be reduced.

Abstract: In the present invention, there is provided a cylinder head in which seat rings,
against which are placed intake valves, are mounted respectively on a plurality of intake
ports that communicate with a combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine, and,
among the plurality of intake ports, an intake port on which is mounted an eccentric seat
ring, with a center of an inner diameter of this eccentric seat ring being eccentric relative
to a center of an outer diameter of this eccentric seat ring, is present together with an
intake port on which is mounted a standard seat ring, with a center of an inner diameter of
this standard seat ring matching a center of an outer diameter of this standard seat ring.
As a result, a flow coefficient can be secured using the intake port on which the standard
seat ring is mounted, and the swirl flow can be strengthened using the intake port on
which the eccentric seat ring is mounted. Consequently, it is possible to obtain the two
conflicting elements of a secure flow coefficient and a strengthened swirl flow.

Abstract: A reception device receives and demodulates, for each
subchannel, data transmitted independently via three
subchannels, which are a subchannel of interest and the two
upper and lower adjacent subchannels which interfere with the
subchannel of interest. A reception portion provided for each
subchannel computes, as a soft decision value, the probability
that data received from the subchannel of interest is "0" and
the probability that the data is "1", taking into account the
degree of coupling between channels, and moreover uses the
soft decision values input from the two upper and lower
adjacent reception devices to adjust and output the soft
decision value for the subchannel of interest, and based on
the adjusted soft decision value, decides whether the received
data is "0" or "1".
