Patent EP-1393806-A1 (EP)
Inventor: OHASHI SHINICHI
IPC: B01J47/02
Filed: 2003-08-21
Abstract: A method for charging ion exchange resins into a condensate demineralizer to
form, in a demineralization vessel, stratified two ion exchange resin beds of an upper-side
bed formed by mixed resins A of a cation exchange resin and an anion exchange
resin and a lower-side bed formed by an anion exchange resin only or mixed resins B
whose ratio of an anion exchange resin is higher than that of the mixed resins A,
wherein the lower-side bed is formed by charging the anion exchange resin or the mixed
resins B together with transfer water into the vessel, thereafter water is drained from the
vessel, and then the upper-side bed is formed by charging the mixed resins A together
with transfer water. The upper-side bed can be charged while the lower-side bed is
formed in a desired formation, thereby properly forming desired stratified ion exchange
resin beds in the demineralization vessel.

Abstract: A method of communication of conversational data signals, especially voice
signals, between transceiver terminals (A, B) over a radio link, especially a
Bluetooth link, capable of full-duplex transmission of conversational data packets
in alternate directions within a pair (T1 to T16) of time slots. Local conversational
activity is detected at each of the terminals (A, B). Any conversational activity
signal (VAD) sent from the other terminal (B, A) is detected, the conversational
activity signals (VAD) sent from the other terminal being indicative of the detected
local conversational activity at the other terminal (B, A). The reception and
transmission is controlled in response to the detected conversational activity
signals from the other terminal (B, A). 
     Controlling the reception and transmission comprises at least partially
disabling reception means at the terminal (A, B) if remote conversational activity is
not detected from received conversational activity signals, at least partially
disabling the transmission means of the terminal (A, B) in the absence of detected
local conversational activity, and generating audible comfort noise at the terminal
(A, B) from a locally generated comfort noise signal if remote conversational
activity is not detected from the received conversational activity signals.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for transmitting a payload encapsulated
in a packet from a transmitter to a receiver by using an Automatic Request
process, in which:
     the receiver checks each packet received from the transmitter to detect
some potential corrupted received packets ;   the receiver acknowledges the correct or the corrupted reception of
each received packet by emitting one or many acknowledgment messages
to the transmitter ;   the transmitter sends again the packets that were indicated as corrupted
in the received acknowledgment messages.   
     For at least some packets, it implements an EC-PartARQ error control
mechanism including the steps of :
     defining a sensitive part and a non-sensitive part in the transmitted
packet;   checking only each sensitive part in the packets for detecting any
potential corrupted received packet, a packet being considered as corrupted
if the sensitive part has not been correctly received.

Title: Liquefied gas transfer installation and use thereof
Inventor: ESPINASSE PHILIPPE
IPC: B63B22/02
Filed: 2003-11-06
Abstract: The installation is designed to transfer liquefied gas from a first surface reservoir (8) to a second surface reservoir (6) using a transfer line (28) designed to be connected to the reservoirs. The two reservoirs are spaced apart during the transfer and the transfer line is immersed in the water  The first and second reservoirs are more than 300 m apart, and preferably more than 1 marine mile, during the transfer. A first terminal (8) carries the first reservoir and a second terminal (22), in particular a loading buoy, is spaced from the first terminal so the transfer line extends between the two terminals. The second terminal is designed to connect the transfer line to a loading pipe (24) with connectors (25) to the second reservoir carried by a vessel. The transfer line has a main rigid section (32) which is horizontal in the layer of water where dynamic movements are reduced and flexible sections (40, 42) which are vertical and which connect the ends of the main section to the terminals and ensure continuity of liquid gas transport and absorb the dynamic movements. The main rigid section is in a layer of water where the maximum speed of the current is less than 1 m/s, preferably less than 0.5 m/s. The main section and the flexible sections of the transfer line have an internal transfer line and an external casing defining an annular space which extends the whole length of the transfer line and which is thermally insulated. The annular space is connected to means of evacuation so the space is held at a pressure below atmosphere, preferably below 100 mbar, more preferably below 30 mbar. The annular space is also placed under inert gas, in particular nitrogen. The installation includes means of verifying that the envelope and/or the pipe are leakproof. This is done using a detector of pressure variation in the annular space and delivers an alarm signal when the pressure variation is above a set value. Alternatively, a sensor detects the presence of one of the components of the liquefied gas in the annular space, in particular CH4, or detecting a drop in the amount of inert gas in the annular space. The internal pipe in the main section has a compensator (76, 78) at at least one end and the variation in length allowed by the compensator is at least the variation in length of the rigid part subject to the variation between the water temperature and the temperature of the liquefied gas. The main rigid section is suspended from a balancing body (94) which is designed to give it floatability or ballast. The main rigid section is suspended from the two terminals or anchored to the seabed by an anchor line. The main rigid section is a bundle of parallel pipes which include a pipe for returning the liquefied gas to the gaseous state, which passes from the second to the first reservoir.
